SOME KISSES COMB HIGH.
At Least Harvard Senior Has Reason
to Think So

Boston, Oct 26--A certain senior
in Harvard university is wondering
just now if $500 is not a pretty good
fine to pay for a kiss. He has paid
! this $500 for imprinting a kiss on the
lips of a Cambridge house-maid. 1t
seems that this Harvard student, re-
turning to college this fall much
pleased at the thought that he had Sc
cured a scholarship of $500 for his
good work last year, started out on
reaching Cambridge ON a search of
rooms. At one house he was received
by a servant, who offered to show him
the vacant rooms. While inspecting
the rooms the youth thought that he
detected the fair maid in the act of
smiling upon him. Flushed with con-
quest and emboldened by the smile he
embraced his charmer and affection
ately kissed her. To his CONSERVATION
the salute was not returned. 1t was not
even accepted in an Indifferent fashion.
but instead of recipient proceeded to
become angry.
The protestations of repentance on
the part of the now frightened student
were of no avail. The case was re-
ported to the mistress Of the house. She
in turn was indignant and laid the
matter before the dean Of the college.
not of sufficiently good moral character
to be worthy of the generosity of the
college and revoked the scholarship. |
