, wanted SIS, 900 for two kisses which
she declared Mr.. Scannell planted on
/ her lips.
And they're terrible strict about
| kissing in New Haven, Conn.
Louis Mainline and his sweetheart
were out one moonlight night upon
the city green. Mr.. Mainline was
pressing a tender kiss upon the
tempting lips so near his own when
there appeared suddenly upon the
scene a policeman. mind you, the
girl was willing.) The policeman in
terfered, Mainline put up a fight
Here is what it cost him:

Resisting an officer of the law $40.
Costs 81.
Total $22.
Patrolman Michael Riordan of the
Jersey City force lost his position be-
cause of an ill-considered kiss. It
was a dark night for him in more
ways than one when he met Mrs.
Annie Hogan near the rubber works.
Mrs. Hogan was pretty. Mrs. Ho-
gan had lips to tempt a susceptible
man, and Patrolman Michael Riordan
yielded to temptation. And then
Mrs. Hogan rose in her wrath and re-
ported him. He was dismissed.
Abraham Entzway was stabbed
with pair of scissors while endeav-
oring to kiss a girl who worked be-
side him in a New York shop. She
escaped the kiss because of her siren
Uous resistance, but was arrested and
hailed into court.
Magistrate Moss, however, when
he discovered that she had only
stabbed when in danger of being
kissed, commended her and told her
that if she should lose her position
on account of the affair to come to
him and he would get her another
one. She, however, was retained
while the would-be kisser found him
self jobless.
And because he kissed alluring
Miss Daisy Hilton Private j. F. Mer-
rift of the Second Infantry, United
States army, got thirty days in the
guard house.
To say nothing of the time that
kissing consumes.
Railroad officials are profigate in
their stories of trains that have been
delayed because of the continued os-
culatiOn on the part of those about
to be separated. 1t would be a hard
hearted official who would let a train
pull out and leave a pretty girl who
had her ticket and berth engaged
just because she could not tear her
lips away at the given time from
those other lips that adored her.
Have you not been shown clearly
by this time the danger of kissing?
Believing that you have been, and
while on the subject you might like
to know of several famous kisses
that made history.
No more celebrated kiss was ever
given than that bestowed in the gal
lery of Greenwich Palace on Nov. %.
1851, by Queen Elizabeth, upon the
Due d'AlencOn. In the presence of
Walsingham and Leicester she
kissed his coarse lips, and, placing
his ring upon his finger, presented
him to her courtiers as their future
master
Another famous kiss was that
given butcher by Georgiana, Ouch
ess of Devonshire. In 1874 Fox was
cOntesting Westminster in the Wing
interest. Among his keenest sup
porters was the beautiful Duchess,
who entered heart and soul into the
spirit of the election, gaining many a
vote for her protege by her winning
ways. One man, however, a butcher,
remained imperviOus. But the Ouch
ess was resolute and offered a kiss
as "a bride. The bride was irresisti-
Bile, and she got her way.
A kiss which had a tragic SEQUEL
was that given by Prince Ferdinand
of Bavaria to Princess Thryna, the
near relative of ruler of neigh
boring state, where he was on a visit.
The kiss was merely given as sa-
lute-a Needless within of a moment
but the Princess betrothed saw
and took exception. Words came to
blows, and the result was the break
ing off of relations between the two
states. Although hostilities only
lasted six weeks over 1000 lives
were sacrificed
Which brings us back to our first
contention-kissing is costly.
