Wants $4,000

ST. JOSEPH, Mo-, Dec. "A kiss is
worth $2,S55, according to Miss Marga-
ret Bender, and only so cents according
to w. T. Magett, a wealthy farmer and

onciling the two values in the suit Miss
Bender has brought against her os-
culatory friend.
Maget, she alleged, forcibly kissed
her seven times a few weeks ago, and
she values the kisses at 500, 900.
Maget declared the kisses were by
the lady's favor, but that for fear OF
a scene he subsequently paid her 3d. sc
per o~sculatiop. According to hi. testi-
mony they would have beer dear at SO
cents.

husband with some other girls. who
dared her to join a burlesque company
with them. She was a chorus girl for
eighteen years. She was known as the
"Hetty Green of the burlesque world,
before she retired, after her marriage
to Mr.. Edwards.
Mrs. Edwards is not bemoaning her
retirement from the glamor of the foot
lights. No, indeed.
She's been raising chickens and
ducks, pigs and dogs, on what she calls
"our farm" Incidentally, in a setting of
stately trees, there's a cosy house with
such inexpesive little farm improve
ments as electricity, steam heat, tele-
phone, and its own power-driven water
plant connected with a deep well. and
all this came from her stage earnings.
Naturally Mrs. Edwards would speak
a good word for the life of a chorus
girl when 1t enabled her to do so much,
but she doesn't.

The new power house will differ
from the cayenne power plant that
furnishes power to all of the trac-
tion lines and about twenty-five
mines in that in the new plant the
engines ara driven directly by gas
while in the cayenne plant the boilers
are heated by gas and the engines
are driven by steam. There is de-
cided advantage in the new style
of plant inasmuch as that 1t viii
consume less than one-half of the
gas used in the old plant and will
produce more po&er; Under the old
type about one-half of the heat
units are lost before reaching the
engines to be driven, while in the
new plant there is nothing lost IN
this way.
When completed the new station
will furnish power for all of the
company's mines located in this part
of the state. 1t will also act as a
