decided that kissing is not q criminal
offense. The plaintiff was a young
woman who had been unwillingly ga

ing that kissing cannot be either a rob-
berry or an assault, because it is in the
nature Of q warm mark of admiration
or sympathy. These Dutch Judges
should run for Office in Montana.

at all, but an annual, nearly allied to the

to learn that Montana flour ia being
used more extensively this winter than

with very satisfactory results. An
