Richmond couple, intending to sep
arate, couldn't decide which one was
to take the stove. AS a compromise
the husband offered to give it to the
wife in exchange for kiss. She kissed
him, but he refused to give up the
stove. Then she brought suit and the
jury valued the kiss at the cost of the
stove, plus the costs of the trial and
the fees of the attorney employed by
the wife. Kansas values a kiss at 1
cent. Illinois values it as $4,000
Pennsylvania valued one at s.. And
now Virginia comes to the front and
values 1t the same as a stove. If this
thing keeps up much longer the gov
eminent will have to step in and regu-
late the price of kisses in order that

Saved by n Fireay.

In night attack, before the fall Of
Seringapatam in 1900, curious Incl
dent occurred while the British forces
were returning in the dark through
thickly planted bamboos and cocoa
trees. The men were making for their
quarters, as vail imagined, when the
suspicious of Lieutenant Lambton
were aroused, and he assured General
Baird, to whose staff he was attached,
that the troops were actually marching
on instead of from the enemy.
The guide was obstinate in asserting
that he was leading them right, while
the lieutenant declared that in the
starlight he had clearly asccrtained
that. instead of moving to the south
ward. the troops were proceeding due
north and were every moment APP
preaching the point OF danger.
General Baird called halt. pro-
cured a pocket compass and, putting
FREELY on its glass, was speedily sat
isfied that he had been misled. For
tunately there was time to remedy the
mistake, and he changed his line of
march. jocularly observing that In fr-
ture he should put more faith in the
stars than he had done formerly.

Libraries for Oranges.

In Michigan and Ohio the travelling
library is becoming a feature of grange
work of considerable Importance.
These libraries consist of twenty-five
or thirty-five volumes, which are sent
out by the state libraries to the grange
reading clubs or other associations of
citizens. They may be retained three
months, with the privilege Of renewal.
The grange receiving these libraries
pays only the cost of transportation.
One grange in Ohio secured over $50
worth of books at the small cost of
about dollar for postage and express.
At the end OF six months these books
were returned and others secured, thus
giving opportunity for the reading of
good books at very slight expense.
The travelling library system has ex.
banded wonderfully in the state of
Ohio. Last year there were 923 trav.
cling libraries loaned, aggregating over
$1,000 volumes.

To the Honorable, the Common Council Of Owos.
Gentlemen:-We the undersigned taxpayers
in the city of Owosso respectfully petition your
honorable oooy for the extension and opening
OF Cleveland Avenne Eortherly across the right

waukee and the Ann Arbor railways and to con-
meet with the south end OF Palmer Avenue
where the same intersects with said right of

Woodlawn Park Addition.
We respectfully represent that the above
street opening is an absolute necessity as at

built thereon will add just so much to the as.
SeSsed value OF the city.
Heretofore your honorable body has kindly
assisted US in opening OF streets and the large
number OF houses erected thereon has beyond
all question demonstrated the ACCESSIBILITY of
such openings.
We respectfully request your early consider
