 MISTAKEN, ALSO COSTLY
British Clergyman Brings Suit Tol Islander and Collects
 Damages

Northampton, England. Feb. 1G (UP)-A fatherly kiss which Rev. John J. Reeves impressed on the brow of pretty Miss Emily Baxter has cost two of his parishioners $3.750.
 The kiss was administered at a funeral. when Miss Baxter broke down in tears. To some of Reeves primitive Methodist followers it was more than the fathery kiss it pur- ported to me: and when Reeves and Miss Baxter were seen in public on several subsequent occasions William Arnold. shoe manufacturer, decided to take it up for the good of North amptonians souls.
 Arnold composed a circular alleg- ing that Reeves and Miss Baxter were seen kissing in a quiet lane. and Joseph Terhutt. a local printer. printed 1t for him.
 In court it was soon apparent that the one authenticated kiss was . pastorly one.
 Reeves denied successfully that he had walked in meadow with Miss Ba xter. and said that he saw her principally when she was dinner guest at his home with his wife pres ent.
 Arnold's attorney announced that any suspicious of misconduct had been removed. and 8, jury awarded Reeves s2.500 damages and Miss Baxter $l,c5O.
