THE MARKET PRICE OF A KISS.

An Indiana jury, in it's wisdom, has
fixed the value of a single kiss at 81, 500.
says the Chicago Tribune. This verdicr
must not be taken as establishing any
thing like standard market price in
this country for commodity the value
OF which may vary infinitely, according
no circumstances and to the personal
beauty of one of the parties to the bar
gain. A lover may swear single kiss
is worth a kings ransom and all the
world beside On the other hand, and
with no desire to be ungallant, it is easy
to imagine a situation in which a kiss
might be dear at any price. At certain
church entertainments, where money
was being raised for worthy purposes. q
kiss has been sold at auction for as
much as 800, which is certainly high
figure when it is considered that the kiss
was sold to raise money for the heather.
It is a traditional belief that stolen
kisses are the sweetest. They are the
dearest also In Indiana, for the one for
(which the Indianan must pay 1880 was
stolen. For several thousand years the
value of kiss f1uctuated so constantly
and so widely that any modern attempt
TO bring 1t down to a settled figure must
prove worse than idle. An Eastern jury,
less gallant and appreciative than a
Western one, might have returned a
verdict for SIS. where the latter returned
ssae for $500.

A Kiss Won the Election.

The sensational report telling of the
recovery of the long-lost portrait of the
Duchess of Devonshire has reminded
some of those who met Lord Dufferin
when he was in New York a few years
ago. and a guest of the St Andrews
Society, and a neighbor at the banquet
table of Joseph H. Choate, of some de-
lightful anecdotes which he told of his
grandmother, who was a sister of the
Duchess of Devonshire.
The sisters inherited their fathers
fondness for politics, and were of no
little influence in the political life of
Great Britain of their time. The
Duchess of Devonshire at one general
election was very anxious that Charles
James Fox should be returned to Par
5h9Gent. The contest was exceedingly
bstier. and promised to. be very close.
r'fnistry in which her husband was
inter sely interested was at stake. The
Ducs"SS started forth herself upon an
electiepeering trip. pleading with ev-
eryone FAe knew who had vote or in
fuence IN give it to Fox. There was a
butcher il one of the smaller towns of
the district which Fox sought to repre-
sent, who had supplied meat at the
country residence of the Duke and
Duchess.
The Duchess, who was a born aristo-
crat, could, nevertheless, be in politics
an ultra Democrat. She sought this
butcher. knowing that he had only one
vote but, as we say today, controlled
"a half a dozen more, she pleaded with
to support Fox. although she knew the
butcher was of the other party. The
meat SELLER was fattered by her atten-
ton, and yet he knew the value of his
vote and influence, and at last he said:
ST will make bargain with you. I'll
plump for Fox and make my friends do
it, provided you'll give me kiss"
The Duchess looked at the butcher
for an instant. and then, before he
knew that his offer was accepted, she
