More Kiss Doctrine.

One Mrs. Minnie Slentz promulgat-
ed this unorthodox doctrine in the d.
vorce court a while ago:
Some couples may kiss each other
right up until they are sixty, in an
attempt to fool themselves into think
ing that their kisses have the gen.
uine heart glow Of the first month Of
marriage, but 1t is all bosh. Real
kissing becomes monotonous during
the second year, intermittent from the
fourth to the sixth, and stops entirely
before the eighth year Of married
life.
Can this be true? At the risk of
infringing on the province Of another
department of this paper, we invite
the opinions of our readers on this
important theme Let your answers
or criticisms be brief. either in verse
or prose. In the words of Wallace
Irwin:
Enough of kissing-can there be
enough?"

BATTLES MAD DOG
IN STATION CELL
Prisoner in Chicago Lookup Has
Exciting Experience.
ANIMAL FOUND RABlD
Suspected Canine Locked Up in Ac
jacent Cell crawls Through Drain
Pipe Connecting the Two Rooms

Chicago.-John Anderson, an al.
legged burglar, was taken to the Pas
teur institute the other day suffering
from wounds on one leg which may
prove fatal and which he incurred in
a desperate fight with a dog in his
cell at the 50th street police station.
The animal also a prisoner, has since
been found to be suffering from
rabies.
The deg had been taken to the sta
ton after it had attacked and bitten
at least two and possibly more chill
dren living on the south side. Two of
these victims also we're treated at the
institute
1t was suspected at the time of the
first attack that the dog might be
mad. The policeman who captured
the animal had no safe place in
which to keep it and finally concluded
to take 1t to the station and lock 1t
up. II was placed in cell adjoining
the one occupied by Anderson, who
was held as a suspect in burglary
cases.
During the night the dog prowled
uneasily around in its cell, growing
and snarling and making so much
noise that Anderson, stretched out on
his plain board bench. could not
sleep. After some hours, however. he
managed to fall into a doze
Suddenly the man was awakened
by a peculiar scraping sound, and,
looking up, saw the eyes Of the dog
cleaning at him in his own cell. The
animal had crawled through the drain
pipe connecting the two cells.
Anderson kicked at the dog with
his bare foot. The animal few at him
and buried it's fangs in the mans leg.
The two fought all over the cell, the
man screaming for help and the dog
snarling and growing and getting a
new hold on the leg every time he
was shaken from his old hold. Final
ly the jailer was aroused and. open
ing the cell door. succeeded in beat
ing the animal into submission.
Anderson was taken to a doctor at
once and his wounds we're cauterized.

turned its attention to girls alighting

"openwork clocks" to appear.
After a ten-minute siege Brown
coaxed the goat up on the sand pile
while his brother officer and the Ital-
ians got rope. Brown threw a moose
around the animals neck and, aided
by the husky laborers. pulled 1t to
the street.
AS the policemen prepared to drag
the goat to the station house a great

ing the animal as his pet, released the
ropes and led II away.

Find Ancient Statue Stolen From Greek Museum

BALTIMORE, MD-A piece OF Greek
d sculpture, the bust of a child OF
about FIVE years, stolen from the Ma
tional museum at Athens fifteen years
ago, and said to be of priceless value
and 5000 years old, was recovered by
the Baltimore police the other day.
The figure was dug up in the cellar
OF Charles Nemphos, a Greek confec-
toner at Hampden, a suburb.
Search for the bust was instituted
here following a visit of DR.. Alexan-
der Vouros, the Greek charge at
Washington. DR.. Vouros came here
with several documents and went to
the office of John Philip Hill, United
States district attorney.
To Major Hill was unfolded the
story Of the disappearance of this
gem of Grecian art, of the efforts of
European governments to recover It
for the past decade and of clews in
volving a Baltimore Greek.
Major Hill decided that II was not a
. case of smuggling, but a problem for
the. local police Accordingly. the case
was laid before the states attorney
and on the basis of information fur
nished by the Greek diplomat a search
warrant was issued.
II was only after Nemphos had been
subjected to a third degree" quiz

night that he finally broke down and
pointed out the spot where the bust
was buried. Under his direction the
