LADY AND THE TIGER KISS.
MEET IN HOTEL LOBBY
Sorel, French Actress, En-
braces Clemenceau and
Amazes Spectators.

New York, Nov. Z1.-The lady and
the Tiger met in the lobby Of the Ritz
Carlton yesterday. When NJ. Clemen-
ceau entered. the flrst person he
saw was Cecile Sorel. tho actress OF
the Comedie Franchise. They rushed
together.
MY dear Sorel," exclaimed Clemen-
ceau, you are q great success. 1t is
magnificent. I must come to see you.
I would like to see you every day for
inspiration"
And then on both her cheeks the
Tiger planted kisses, while Sorel
laughed gaily and kissed him in re-
turn. The actress, tall, with plumes
nodding from her hat, lowered over
the doughty Frenchman, with whom
during the war, she had visited the
front line trenches, taking joy and
inspiration to the soldiers Of France.
There was a rear admiration on both
sides, it could be seen, for with all
the Difference Sorel paid to the man
whom she called the greatest leader
she had ever known, Clemenceau in his
gallaptry showed subtly the respect
ne Dtu lor ueE poSlliOil On tlle SAst6o.
Sorel joyously referred to the meet
ing later when she was recalling some
of the days when she and the Tiger
visited Verdun.
Before all those people," she
laughed in one of the few moments
when she attempted to speak English.
And she continued in French: He
said he was coming to me to get in
spiration; coming before his lecture
that l might inspire him with n kiss.
All, it is a great responsibility" she
said gaily, nodding her plumed head.
IN. Clemenceau. he does not care
for men," Sorel commented thought
fully upon the Tiger. He does not
care for ladies merely because they
are beautiful; they must have

all his friends there are no ladies who
are not very superior. Yes" she nod

perior. He never, what you call IT.

TO STUDY COUNTY GOVERN.
MENT

Governor Morrison has appointed a
committee to study the general sub
ject of county government in the
State and to make recommendations
TO the next legislature as 70 improve
ments that may be made. The Gov
ernor is to be commended FOR this eff
fort. The Journal has expressed the
opinion that any recommendations
that are made may not be adopted,
but the effort will do good. When the
public begins to think and talk about
a subject and students begin TO study
it, sooner or later the necessary i'm
provements will be made.
In almost every county in the State
there is going on nagg!ng and
carping about this matter and that
which can get nowhere or do any
good, for the reason that whatever
defects we have are inherent in the
system, system that has grown up
bit by bit, one way in this county
and another way in that. The indi-
vidual county official is caught in a
net of problems and difficulties which
each inherits from the former, and
which no particular one is to blame
for and which no particular one can
very much remedy. A thorough study
Of the whole subject may be Of great
benefit. Local government is very
near and very important to the peo-
pie and the only government which
they can come very closely in contact
with. and it is the subject Of which
they should and might have the clear
est understanding were it more sim,
plifed and comprehensive.

TAKE LIZ AWAY

A scientific fellow out in San Fran
cisco has invented new devise TO
make life harder still for the millions
Of Jiggses in this land Of the free
and the home Of the brave Of years
gone by. 1t is a "kysograph" and
We forsee that it is to Be devilish
Instrument Its purpose IS TO show
whether or not there is any real kick
il a kiss or whether il is mere per-
functory camoufagc. The professor
asserts that numerous tess have
shown beyond the peradventure Of a
doub, that the kysograph win regis
ter every time the amount Of genuine
emotion that is put into any oscula-
tory performance. This thing will
not be so bad on the william who de-
clares undying love when he wants
merely the pocket book Of the lady,
because he ought to be shown up.
But il is going to play thunder with
the honest old boy who tries TO
smooth off all the disturbance of the
evening before with a peck on the
cheek in the morning. We have
heard much about the SUPPRESSION, the
oppression, and the depression of
" omen in the past, but that is all
over. The question now is where is
the new suppression of man to stop.

Farmer Loses S400 on Way TO
Deposit II in Bank

(From the Lexington Dispatch.)
Cyrus c. Pickett, a well known and
prosperous farmer of the Welcome
neighborhood, lost $500 from his
pocket while on his way from We'll
come to Lexington on Saturday to
deposit it in a bank. The money was
in bills, including several $50 bills
and some of smaller denomination,
and the packet of bills was wrapped
in brown wrapping paper, tied about
with white cotton string. The packet
had been placed in hip pocket and
evidently worked out while he was
riding to Lexington and fell in the
road.
Mr.. Pickett, had saved up this sum
and was considering buying an auto
mobile, but had reached decision he
would place it in a local bank, he not
having previously carried such an ac-
count, and was on his way here to
carry out that intention when his
money was lost.
This loss falls heavily upon Mr..
Pickett, as it would upon any average
s.tizen of the county, and he is in
eores that an honest person has found
il and will make restitution. He
placed an ad in today's Dispatch, stat
ng that he would pay reward Of
rs to the finder Of his money.
Last week jewelry salesman from
Marion, Ohio, lost a folder of cuff
links valued at several hundred dol
lars, between Lexington and Rich
Fork creek. Through lost ad placed
in The Dispatch this lost property
was located Saturday and the finder
will receive a reward of SIS.

A WOMAN IN THE WRONG
PLACE

Mrs. Mccormick, the daughter Of
J. D. Rockefeller, and the mother Of
the young lady of sixteen who is &c
marry a Swiss riding master of IS,
made lecture the other day in which
she said that the woman who marries
out Of her circle may expect 10 enter
a life Of slavery, meaning thereby,
We presume, one of great unhsppi-
ness. One can but feel that there was
sad personal note in this lecture,
though. ostensibly it was cre rerely
on general principles.
Mrs. NeCormick's statement is very
true. BE not unevenly yoked 20
eethey," is good common sense and
according TO experience as we'll as
scripture. Happy marriages are
based upon mutual interests, mutual
tastes, similar experiences and SYM
pathies, and these two persons can
scarcely have when they have lived
IN different circles in l'fc. under df-
ferent surroundings, and have been
driven by different necessitie3 and cir
cumstances, They may have one or
two, or even more, tastes in COM

couples will be separated OF be un-

A Brave Girl Missionary

Several decades aga Bear q ap in
Ihe heart OF the Appalachiaas had
an unfortunate reputation for drunk
enness and crime. Murder was not in
frequent among its Wild inhabitants.
So when Adelia Fox. a Sunday-schOOl
teacher from Congregational
Church in Ohio, appeared one day as
the appointed missionary to the Gap,
everyone was astonished. The pre-
vious missionary had narrowly es-
capped with his life.
Adelia FOX held her Sirst meeting

They made loud threats about what
they should do 10 the preacher. But
the sight of the slim fearless girl as
she stepped out on the platform star
tied them. and while she played and
sang ana spoke a spark of chlyairy
kindled in their hearts
After the first meeting there was
great rivalry for the honor Of enter
taining her. The choice she made
was typical of her spirit. She went
into the cabin of the most notorious
man in the place. distiller and as
such the cause of most of the trou-
BILE in the neighborhood. Her care OF
his sick baby touched his heart. and
he became her faithful friend.
When Ger cabin was built and fur
nished she held classes there, and the
men gradually grew more orderly in
her presence.
Then came an exciting episode
There was an election TO decide
whether the state should go dry or
not. Adelia Fox called a temperance
meeting and urged her hearers TO
vote against the curse Of drink. Her
friend the distiller sat in the front
row, frowning heavily. When she
spoke of the mortality among little
children caused by their parents in
dulgeuce in drink he rose with
