KISSED ONLY ONE GIRL.


Prsdicament the Popular Young Man
Got Himseif Into.
An amusing incident occurred at
social gathering In private residence
in Niles recently, which afforded an
excellent Illustration OF the popularity
of a handsome. black-eyed young man,
who is employed in local business
house. and the local rivalry existing
between two young ladies to gain
favor in the eyes of the young man in
question, says the Detroit News,
Everyone was having glorious time
when dispute arose between TWO
pretty misses over n kiss which had
been given to one Of the young ladies'
by the black-eyed young man. HOW
the kiss came to be administered Is
not stated so it Is not known whether
it was stolen. At any rate the rival
miss became enraged in an instant
and demanded retribution from the
favored young lady. What could the
poor boy do? Well, he did about the
same as any ordinary young man
would do under the circumstances. VI
course, the entire party had become
interested and was watching the out
come of the dispute. The young man
had one thought running through his
brain, and that was how he was going
to console the injured feelings of the
young lady. Acting on sudden I'M
pulse the young man walked forward
and placed sweet imprint on the
lips of the sighted miss much to the
surprise of the guests. 1t Is SAID TO
have had the desired effect. The party
resumed its usual festivities, Several
If the ladies. It is asserted, went into
a discussion rs to whether or not KISS
ing is sinful, while others were max
ing "goo-goo" eyes at the young man
and evidently thinking how grand II
was to be popular.

less provision were made for the re-
condensation of the ammonia after IL
had lowered the temperature by rapid

an electrical inventor has succeeded In
providing this necessary power, and
that ice can be made in the household
at much less cost than II can be fur

pounds of ice in twenty-four hours at

packing her trunk. When the mistress
