Indianapolis, Aujr. 10. A kissless ex

istence is guaranteed to every child at

tending school in Indiana. The Ptnto board of health gives the guarantee.

Not a kiss in the long catalogue of kisses will be countenanced in any

school in the state when they open aft

er the vacation. And, if the stnto

bord of health can do it. the war

against kissing and kisses will be carried beyond the school. Every kiss in

Indiana may be a stolen kiss after a

while.

Kiss on the Mouth Outlawed. I?ut in the schools there must be no

kissing at all. This is the tlrst communication the children will find on

the notice boards of their schools: "Do

not kiss any one on the mouth or al

low any one to do so to you." The board of health hasn't decided wheth

er it will be permissible to accept a kiss on the cheek or bestow one on a

favorite eye. The problem Is still under consideration and a blanket in

junction covering every variety of kiss

may be issued.

Girls Must'nt Kiss Each Other. The board's antl-kisslng edict ap

plies to girls as rigorously as to boys. A girl who'd faint at the idea of a

boy's kiss gives and accepts girls'

kisses as a matter of course. That also

Is frowned upon. The Indiana school

girl must avcid the klcses of her girl

friends herefarter just as studiously

is any other. The board of health has

studied the kisses dissected, analyzed

and examined in under the microscope, and declared against it. Indiana will b better without it was the decision, and the board has started in on a cam

paign or eradication.

No Swapping of Apply Cores. Every teacher in the state will be in

structed to enforce its abolition from school life and to punish severely the

boy or gir! who dares to kiss. There

are several other "don'ts" drawn up

and waiting for the school children.

Swapping apple cores and chewing gum is almost as bad as kissing.

though not so prevalent, the board

says. J tie health guardians hope that

with kissing abolished in the schools and every child eating his own apple

core and chewing his own gum there will be less tuberculosis to contend with.

Terre Haute, Ind., Aug. 30. A

prominent Main street retail house has

received a conscience fund contribu

tion from a woman employe who left

the store sixteen years ago and moved

to California. She was with the house

five years as cashier and bookkeeper.

and when she resigned to move to

California she was greatly missed. Ilcr successor worried of hearing her merits pointed out. The letter from her recently told of

her success in California, of a fortunate investment in real estate, and finally of her stealings. It went on for several years, she said, and she really resigned her position to get away from the temptation. Her conscience had made her miserable all those sixteen years. She held a position in California where she might take money without being suspected, but she had been honest, she said. She inclosed three drafts, one for $T00 to cover her stealings from the house, another for and another for $15 for two employes whom she had cheated rn their pay rolls.

Springfield, Mo.. Aug. 10. After

hearing from a city official of threats

against members of the grand jury

which indicted Hill (Jooch and Doss

Galbraith on charges of being promi

nent in the mob that on April 14 last

lynched three innocent negroes. As

sistant Attorney General Kennish left

for Jefferson City to confer with Gov

ernor Folk on the situation. The

threat, as told to Kennish, is as fol

lows: "If one of those men who are on trial for 'negro killing is convicted

there will be a rope hung to the light

tower in the square for every one of

the members of the grand jury that indicted them and there'll be another

one for Governor Folk." Trial To lie Well Guarded.

Kennish left after a long conference

with Prosecuting Attorney Patterson

Sheriff Horner, and the other attorneys

associated with Patterson and Kennish in the mob cases. Twenty-five extra deputies have been sworn in to guard the trial proceedings, and it was stated at the sheriff's office that as soon as the actual work of gettiug a jury is begun and the trial under way this number of deputies will be increased to probably 300. Similar Case in North Carolina. Salisbury, N. C, Aug. 10. While there are no visible signs of trouble here there are persistent rumors of the organization of a strong party to liberate from Salisbury jail the lynchers of

the three negro murderers of the Ly-

erly family. George Hall, an ex-convict; Francis Cress and "Bud'' Pullo-

baugh, have been arrested, and George

Gentle, a well-known young man of

this section; .7. II. Goodmar and John

Canble, of Salisbury, are in jail, and

all will be tried on the charge of mur

der. Judge Eong issued the bench

warrant for Gentle after the latter re

marked in the presence of the officer who later arrested him that he had helped string up the negroes. Lynchers Arraigned in Court. The men arrested were taken into court. Hall alone was arraigned. He was charged with murder on three counts. He pleaded not guilty and inability to employ counsel. At his request ex-Representative Theodore F. Khittz, who was to have assisted the solicitor in the provsecution of the men lynched, was appointed to defend him. P. S. Carlton, of the Salisbury bar, will represent Gentle. Judge Eong warned the other prisoners to employ counsel. Barn Burning Complicates Things. Feeling runs high again over the

The pass at old Thermopylae. According to the story, Was held by men of Greece, and much It added to their glory. In modern times the congressmen And offlceholding clas-rs, As resolute as any grand Old Grecian, hold the passes. You know the tale of ancient days, For doubtless you have read itThe way they stuck to that old pass Was greatly to their credit. But r.cw to hang on to a pass We think la simply awful A thing no gentleman would do And very much unlawful. The way they stuck to that old pass Was really quite a wonder, For where could one observe in It The smallest bit of plunder? The modern statesman If he had A pass like that would chuck It And kick for one that called for rides Until he kicked the bucket. But while you're talking every one In Just about that boat is; There's something strange about pass That makes us all take notice. And statesmen are not all the ones Who try to cut the caper; We all of us are reaching for That precious bit of paper.

Profitable to Be Right. In the great society function which Is to be pulled off in New York in the

form of a murder trial the insanity experts can be depended on to lead science in by the halter and prevail on it to say a few good words for the defendant with a bank account. The insanity expert can be depended on to know on which side of his bread the oleomargarine Is spread. He can easily convince himself that black is white, or at least a very pale gray, if thereby his bank account will look as though it had been playing the races and won on a 40 to 1 shot. Teople who have examined them closely, looked at their tongues and felt of their whiskers assure us that the Insanity expert is human, which may be the reason why he can always find a man with money insane when politely requested to do so.

Vain Regrets. Where tho rushes quiver slightly, "Where the little waves run lightly And the sun is shining brightly In a valley far away. Where the grass the edge is rimming There's a hole with water brimming, And It beckons me to swimming; It is calling me today. I would gladly hasten to it. And with joy I'd paddle through It As I proudly used to do It Like a little water rat. But I cannot have the pleasure; It for me's a vanished treasure; I've a waist of ample measure. And I'm stiff and slow and fat.
