KISS KISSED ANOTHER, so
MRS. KISS WINS DIVORCE
There Are No Little Kisses, and Wife
Will Take Her Maiden Name
OF Tooth.

NEW YORK. May iS-Because her
husband had been too liberal with his
kisses for another woman, Mrs. Kiss
obtained an in.erlocutory decree OF di-
vorce from John Kiss. Justice Blanch-
ard, or the supreme court. decided that
Mrs. Kiss would be much happier II
she were freed from Kiss. inasmuch
as there were no little Kisses and
Kiss showed disposition TO frequent
the society of another woman.
The Woman who caused the trouble
In the Kiss family was Julia Shipokon.
Mrs Kiss said that she and Kiss lived
happily until her husband met Miss
Shipolon. Then. she alleged he re-
served all his kisses for her rival.
But Miss Shipokon said she was the
real wife of Kiss and alleged that
therefore she was entitled 10 all mis-
kisses. She asserted that her two
children were Kisses and that she
never heard OF the complainant.

Increased sums 10 be paid out in spe-
cial prizes at the coming show.
The Red Polled Cattle were given
senior and junior classification. the
same as the other breeds
In connection with the sheep class
ification. it was decided to place all
breeds on the same footing. giving
them a uniform classification for
breeding sheep covering an amount OF
$3.50. and to give those breeds whose
associations offer $3.50 or more in
specials" an additional SO. The
classification for fat sheep is to re-
main the same as IL. was in the past.
The matter of working out class

at the coming international" was re-
ferred 70 committee consisting OF
A. j. Lovejoy, r. b. Ogilvie and b. II.
Heide. who Will meet III the near FIJI
ture. The same liberal awards Of
fered for barrows exhibited at the In
ternational" will continue to be offer
cd as in the past
All the various horse associations
proved themselves even more liberal
in their offerings OF special prizes 10
be competed for at the 1909 Inter
national" than they were in the past.
A number OF the directors present
reported that the two weeks show
proposition was rapidly gaining great
er favor with the breeders and ex-
hibitors, since many of the latter were
able TO trace back profitable sales as
n result OF their showing during the
second week OF the exposition last
year.
The fact that the National Horse
Show association Of New York is now
seriously considering a classification
for draft horses IN connection with
their show is also clearly attributable
to the fact that number of the direc-
tors OF this show were in attendance
at the 1908 international"
Although the exposition will again
extend into the second week, as in
1908, It was left optional with the ex-
hibitofs OF cattle. hogs and sheep TO
allow their stock TO remain or return
at the close OF the first week.

NeiahborIy Advice.

am not one of those who insist that everybody should mind his own busi- ness: that is too harsh a doctrine. One of the rights and privileges of good neighhor is 70 give neighborly advice. But there is q corresponding right on the part of the advisee. and that is to take no more of the advice than he thinks is good for him. There k one thing that man knows about his own business better than any outsider, and Ihat is how hard il is for him to do it.

Aesop Up to Date.

A Hare, meeting a Tortoise one day. remarked as he looked at the Tor toise's heavy shell and short fc9t, "l think could beat you in race"
 All right" answered the Tortoise. Tt is not every race that is won by a hare"
 At the hour appointed for the contest the Hare soon left the Tortoise out of sight and. feeling sure of winning, lay down by the roadside to take a nap. After half hours sleep and rest he resumed the race. But the Tortoise had turned into a wayside garage and hired an automobile. and so he soon overlook the fleet footed Hare.
 The Hare was going at the limit of his speed. but the Tortoise was going at the speed limit and won the race by three miles and seven laps.
 When the Hare in the course of time. arrived at the post he said, with a sigh, You'll never catch me in an endurance race again"

Daintiness In Douuh.

A west side family that abhors all products of the bakeshop advertised for a maid of all work.
 "Can you make breadY was the question put to each applicant.
 Of all the maids who professed to own that accomplishment the mistress chose the one with the frailest hands and arms.
 .1 don't know about the wisdom of that choice" ventured male member of the family. Wouldn't 1t have been better to pick out sturdier girl?''
 Not at all" said the lady. What we require in this family. above all things. Is good bread. We half live on bread 1 am confident have chosen good breadmaker. A girl with rather delicate hands always makes better bread than one whose fists are like sledge hammers. Bread to be good needs to be coddled In the knead- ing.

 As he turned to take the car he stumbled over a ragged little mite. who was pressing a bit of blue face against the plate glass of a big win dow and eooing in broken English to a sprawling yellow Teddy bear in the toy window.

 The bear bore the price tag. Seven ty-fiye cents" John must go In to change a bill. Crowds were thinning in the store and he dragged the rag ged mite after him through the long afsles, up the elevator and down among the rows of toys.
