PRICE OF A KISS.
Asa Pendergraff Finds That 1t
Is S32.

When kisses are quoted at $32 apiece
they become an impossible luxury for
the poor man. His unwarranted osculc-
tory indulgence has cost Asa Pender-
graft of North Topeka that amount ana
he is now busy paying it on the rocn
pile of the county Jail
Before Judge Arthur j. Mccabe of
the city court this morning Mrs L. L.
Peale, comely young woman of North
Topeka, told the story which got Pen
dergraff into Jail. Pendergraff, who was
an acquaintance of the Peales. came to
her house on the morning of October s,
in the absence of her husband. He was
in an intoxicated condition and was an
noyingly familiar. After entering the
house he informed Mrs. Peale that he
intended to kiss her and he at once
started to do SO. She became afe<-mea
and ran from him. in doing so coiIiding
with a table from she sustained pain
full bruises. Pendergraff caught her and
kissed her and she caused his arrest for
assault The fine and costs amounted
to $32.

HOW OLD is ANN?
L. NJ. Barrett Thinks He Has Solved
the Problem,

Here is a solution of the Mary-Ann
problem which certainly looks very
reasonable.
To the Editor of the State Journal:
In the problem you are discussing
through your columns about Mary's
and AIMS ages there can be but one
conclusion:
X equals AIMS age. Then if Mary
is twice as old at "a, as Ann was, then
Ann was 12 "a minus equals diff
ference in ages and minus u equals
difference in ages. Then minus II
equals "a minus X 2x equals Sc.
equals Is AIMS age
This will prove, for when Mary was IS
Ann was u. or half what Mary is now.
The problem does not state that Mary
was ever twice as old as Ann although
she was when u years old as Ann was
years old but the problem does not
ask for this; it simply states that Mary
is twice as old as Ann WAS.

out of this city have quit and their
