Kisses in Kansas.

Very romantic news is this that per-
where the wheat crop is so great that
1t has made the ground sink down two
feet to sustain it. Hiram Skipworth,
father of three beautiful daughters, is
reported to have secured all the har-
vest hands he needed by the simple
expedient Of paying them two dollars
day and permitting each man to kiss
each of his daughters once daily.
Those who did not want the kisses
could have three dollars a day. but 1t
Is pleasant to add that nobody drew
more than two dollars per diem. How
ever, says the Detroit Free Press, old
Lafe PIummer, who lives about five
miles down the big road from Skip
worth, got all the harvest hands he
needed, also. Lafe has but one daugh-
ter; she is 40 years old, angular,
Freckled and has an uncertainty in one
Nye, besides that her nose is hesitant
and her chin is shy. Lafe took the
overflow from Skpworths farm, and
after Turing the sturdy harvesters to
his field he would introduce his daugh-
ter and tell the affrighted laborers
that unless they pitched in and worked
their best he would let her kiss them.

Far Too Speedy for Speech.

The tremendous speed made in the
international automobile race over the
Ardennes circuit in Belgium is almost
beyond conception. To maintain an
average of nearly 20 miles an hour
through run of 81 miles, which was
the record of the winner, must have
meant a speed neighboring on 100
miles an hour for much of the dis
tance. Only in this way could time
lost on curves be made up. The race
makes very pat the story of Boston

OF the young Vanderbilts at Newport,

lican. The visitor was taken for run
In big racing automobile. He stood
the experience until the speed rose to
upward of so miles an hour. when, in
terror. he tried to call to the driver
beside him to slow up. But instead of
being able to call he found, so runs
