SOME COSTLY KISSES.
They Have Caused War, Race Riot
and Soldiers Death.

In the year 1894 the beautiful,
charming and famous Duchess OF
Gorion founded and raised the Cor
don Highlanders, one OF the most ia
nous regiments of Scotch Highland
eTs.
The most attractive terms to a
new recruit in this gallant regiment
were 4 guinea in gold and kiss
from the lips Of the far famed duch~
ess. 1t is said that this famous reg
iment of soldiers was raised more
quickly than any other regiment in
the British service. This seems al
very good yet the Gordon High
landers paid very dearly for the kiss
they had received from the charming
Duchess of Gordon They were soon
sent to fight the French and in their
first engagement 300 of them fell,
killed and wounded The survivors
of the Gordon Highlanders always
maintained that they never regretted
the price they paid for a single kiss.
In the year 1903 a stolen kiss was
the means Of bringing about bloody
ano expensive war, Ferdinand of
Bavaria was journeying into neigh
boring state. One day during his
Journey he visited the royal household
of a neighbor and While wandering
around in the spacious park that
surrounded the palace he cspied a
beautiful maiden under wide
spreading tree close at hand. He
was so bewitChed with her beauty
and charming personality that he
inpulsiyely and thoughtlessly planted
kiss on her fair and lovely cheek.
She was a princess Of the royal
family. but the Bayarian prince did
not now it, neither did he know that
she was an affiauced bride and that
the bridegroom elect was near by and
saw the whole affair. There were
hot words and blows A duel was
fought and both principals were al
most fatally wounded Diplomatic
relations between the two petty
kingdoms were suspended and lony
ami bloody war ensued The stolen
kiss was paid for most dearly in
blood and treasure.
II is considerably within decade
that a negro kissed a white waitress
in restaurant in - little town called
Granger near Salt Lake, Utah. The
lookels-On were indignant and verN
soon there was a NAB and a race
war ensned. Thirty-siX white men
We're killed and wounded and over
eighty negroes met the same fate,
The strangest ard most peculiar
climax in this bloody affair was the
fact that the same negro and white
waitress that had been the cause of
the bloodshcd and riot were married
and then the negresses of the town
ioined issues with the white men
and started i'm pursuit of the negro
and his white bride and they barely

angry black and white mob by sud.

a good year for Richmond and for the
country generally. Here and there dis
asters have occurred, as for example the
Mississippi foods, the unhOly brawl in
Europe; not TO mention the rout Of the
Republican allies, and the political
death Of the hero Of San Juan hill.
But, as the world goes, it has been a
peaceful year, and prosperity has been
abroad over he land. Education, both
moral and intellectual, has advanced its
outposts, and man today, especially the
AnglO-Saxon man, is infinitely better
prepared to wage the fight of progress
than he was a year ago.
Here in America we have made won
derful strides toward the better under

We have advanced msrvelously toward
the application Of principles. Under

that the good city Of Richmond is not
closer knit, that our opinions have be-
come simplified, and that we are look

elevate the standard Of our life, so as TO
