KISSES EVERY MAN SHE SEES Even Embraces Judge Who Sentences Her to Three Years In Prison and Tries to Hug Sheriff on the Way. There. A passion for kisses has cost pretty Huldah Truffel of Des Moines, la., betliberty for three yfcare. Huldah, who Is only eighteen years of age and of a peculiar type of beauty, wants to kiss every man she meets. She stops them on the street to throw her arms about their necks and plants a resounding smack upon their lips. She patronizes the street cars in Sj^ V 4 lijUMk|^^ SHE EMBRACED THE JUDGE. order to sit down in the lap of the first attractive looking young man she sees, and even old men have difficulty in escaping the young girl's affectionate embraces. Huldah is a psychological puzzle. She has been worrying the police and humane society for nearly a year. The Doliee thought that the girl was starting on a criminal career as a second "Fainting Bertha," bnt when none of the victims of her affections com* plained that he had been robbed the police were more puzzled than ever. They could not arrest the girl, for under the city ordinances It Is no crime to kiss a man in the street unless the man himself files charges. And none of the men, young or old, who were recipients of the handsome young lady's kisses had either the desire to object or to make charges which would get them into the limelight and bring down a shower of wrath from wife or sweetheart. And so the girl continued her kissing career uninterruptedly. Not even then did her mania wear off nor did she lose her passioh for kissing, and finally the humane society decided to arrest her and send her to the reform school under the juvenile law. The girl, hearing of the search for her by the police, calmly came to the police station, gave a fictitious name to the chief of police and while the city was searched from top to bottom remained safely hidden in the police matron's room. She was captured by accident next morning just as she was , leaving the station and was haled before Judge Brennan on a charge of incorrigibility. In the courtroom she repeated her kissing stunts on a bunch of newspaper men and then embraced Judge Brennan, who lost no time in sentencinc the cirl to the industrial school for three years at Mitchellville, where the authorities hope she may be cured. On the way to the reform school she again attempted to kiss all the good looking men on the car, but the sheriff restrained her, and she then attempted to embrace him. Physicians who have made a study of the girl's case are greatly puzzled over her. It is the opinion of many of them that she is insane and that she was not responsible at that time for her actions. The girl possesses an uncontrollable temper and fought furiously when told that she would have to go to the reform school. Then she cooled down and remarked sweetly: "Just wait until I make love to that old superintendent He doesn't know what love means yet." The superintendent's wife happened to hear the remark, and there is already more trouble brewing for the young girl. Whole Family Goat Mad. A strange case of collective madness | is reported from Bellavllliers, France. After partaking of the midday meal the members of a family named Aubry developed queer eccentricities. A woman, imagining that her hands were dirty, spent the whole afternoon in washing them. Another made her bed in a heap of smoking straw. Two men occupied themselves In emptying and filling a rain tub for the rest of the day. The youngest member of the family wandered all day and all night with one of his feet bare. Another man saw imaginary balloons, which he wanted to show to everybody. Fortunately this madness was of short duration, for when the doctor arrived the members had returned to their normal condition. Some poison in their food is believed to be responsible. :' - - .' v , THIS IS WHY P We Deserve to be Favored With Your Banking Business First, because our record is clean, and a long record of honest dealings is the best guarantee of a prosperous future.
