"HEAVEN KISSES" KEPT MEAL
CoLD-LoVE FEELS CHILL
New York, Dec. IA. - Dinners of
Heaven Kisses during which her
southern-cooked dainties were al
lowed to get cold on the table, were
described today by Everett P.
Ketchum's negro nanny" Rebec-
ca Wilson; to Mrs Ketchum's suit
for separation. The heaven kiss"
dinners marked the honeymoon of
the Ketchums, the aged negress tes-
titled, and Ketchum would just roll
his eyes and sigh"

fore, but nothin' like the way these
two carried on" said the cook. Il
was Mr.. Ketchum's housekeeper and
the first night he brought home his
bride it was just um-um-um all the
time"
The witness puckered her lips in
what she said was a representation
of the honeymooners' facial antics.
81 left out most of the dinner
courses because 1 made up my mind
they were goin' to sit there spoonin'
forever"
Ketchum, wealthy lawyer and Yale
grad, described tht kiss as a two
hour performance. He indicated he
was considerably bored by Mrs.
Ketchum's continued manifestations
of love, but said he endured them as
long as possible to avoid hurting her
feelings.
81 believed her love so strong that
she had to take this method of ex-
pressing affection" said Ketchum.

THEY SACRIFICED
THEIR CHRISTMAS

Charles LiScheSky and the
clerks in the LischeSky store
made an innovation in the way
of Christmas giving this year
which was not only greatly en-
joyed by themselves but by thir-
ty-Six little girls of the city as
well. Mr.. LiScheSky and the
clerks, instead of giving presents
to each other as was the usual
custom, decided to make a pool
of the amounts which they would
spend for these gifts, and then the
whole sum was used to buy dolls
toys, candy, nuts, fruit, ETC., and
was distributed among the little
girls of the town whom they were
afraid that Santa Claus might no
otherwise visit, and as a result
thirty-six little girls enjoyed {
most merry Christmas and art
more firm than ever in their be
lief in old Santa'S goodness.

DISCUSS CENSUS WITH
SECRETARY MOHLER

The state tax commission and
Secretary MOhler, of the state de-
partment of agriculture, receiv-
ed a visit yesterday from the exc
cutive and legislative committees
of the Kansas County Clerks As
sociation, which met during the
forenoon at the office of County
Clerk o. X. Swayze. The object
OF the meeting was to informally
discuss matters of taxation and
the taking of the 1915 census and
to exchange suggestions with the
departments as to matters likely
to come before the legislature af-
lectlnS these two features of their
work.
The conference with the tax
commission covered many mat
terS of detail and Interpretation
OF. the laws of taxation, and with
Secretary MOhler, that of the
l9l5 census, which will involve
much additional work over the
years when the enumeration only
is made.

counties are also the county as
SCISSORS, ex-Officio, the census. as
we'll as assessment, will come un-
der their charge. In every year
ending in 3, a regular census is
required by statute, when the
name of every man, woman and
child must be taken, with their
age, nativity, sex, color, marital
condition, the state or country
they came from to Kansas and
other data. The best method OF
collecting this data at the least
possible expense and without de.
tracing from the important work
OF the assessment of property
was one of the principal duties
discussed by the committees. II
is believed that in many counties
a separate force should be engag.
ed on census work, as the time
is so short for the assessor tC

PURE BLOOD MAKES
HEALTHY PEOPLE

Hoods SarsapGrilla surely and ef-
fectively removes serofula, boils and
other blood diseases because il drives
out of the blood all the humors that
cause these diseases. They cannot be
successfully treated in any other way.
External applications for their re-
moval have proven almost useless,
because they cannot drive out the
impurities that are in the blood.
Hood s Sarsaparilla makes pure
rich blood, perfects the digestion, and
builds up the whole system. The skin
becomes smooth, clean and healthy.
This great blood remedy has stood the
test of forty years. Insist on having
Hoods, for nothing else acts like il.
There is no real substitute. Get it
today. Sold by all druggists.

COAL DEPOSIT DISCOVERED
IN SOUTH PART OF COUNTY

The recent heavy rains have UNI
earthed a vein of coal about four
feet below the surface on a farm
owned by r. M. white, south Of
Carlton. The water has washed out
a ditch and the coal deposit was
laid bare. Specimens of the mineral
will be sent to Lawrence for an
analysis to determine its carbon
properties and inquiries have been
made to the geological department
as. to the chances for such deposit
in that vicinity.
The coal is apparently OF good
quality and the vein appears to be
several feet thick. That part OF the
country is very hiIly and rough and
things point to the fact that 1t may
be very rich deposit. Oil has been
seen floating ON the water in the
immediate neighborhoOd of the dis
covery and it was not put there by
anybody as it is out in the pasture.
Mr.. White and the people who
own land in that vicinity, are 2nx-
Aously awaiting the word that Will
be sent out from the university In
answer to their queries.

COUNTY CLERKS WATCH
ITINERANT MERCHANTS

The tax commission has notified

keep a watchful eye on the travelling
dry goods and clothing stores. When
a man with a stock of merchandise
arrives in a town and announces In
box car type that he Is selling $50
suits at $4.77 to settle claim in
the hands OF the sheriff, the assessor
must get busy. He must require OF
the new merchant statement and
a showing that he expects to stay
permanently in business in the town
or he must at once asses the stock
of goods and collect the taxes =
taxes for an entire year, too.
Also the merchant who advertises
$4,000 worth of merchandise can
not list the same with the assessor
at $3.50. That would make him liza
