4 I .-.I jf if ' 4 . 4 i! i i tl U A Kiss Tor a Quarter NOVEL DEVICE FOR OBTAININO MONEY AT A CHURCH SOCIAL. A lively church row is in progress at Bums, a little town about twa nty miles from Buffalo, all growing out of a new money raising scheme introdu ced at a church social held in the Luth eran Church parlors by the ladies of the congregation. The church is heavily in debt and they advertised a social in the church to raise money to pay the preacher and buy some coal. The men of the congregation had all been seen and informed that the women had a big surprise for them. They were out in full force and fairly packed the rooms. Across one end of the room was a cur tain. For an hour the guests chatted after the oldfashioned church sociable style. Then the curtain was suddenly withdrawn. There in a row stood six of the prettiest women in the congreg ation, blushing and smiling, each bear ing tipon her bosom a placard, on which were the words: "You miy kiss me for 23 cents." It was fifteen minutes before the device began to work, but when it did the silver quarters fairly showered into the young ladies. Old and young eagerly rushed to the front to exchange coins for kisses. The show lasted only a short time when the curtain was again drawn and the storm burst. The woman were jealous of their hus bands, and a dozen or more family fights were started at once. Soon it was announced that the women would pose again in a short time. Then the angry women tore down the curtains and blew out all lights. A scrambling for the doors followed, and for over two hours the churcli members gossiped and fought on the sidewalk. They finally dispersed and a factional church fight is the result. Can Yon Eat Heartily, with relish, and without distress afterward?
