the three qualities in his future spouse

A Quick witted Woman.

There is one woman in London who
as her wits about her, and when you
come to think of it, the fact is highly
creditable to London. On the Strand
a thief suddenly snatOhed her purse
from her and instantly disappeared in
the crowd. In the purse was some
small change and check for f40. The
lady spent no time in fruitless at
tempt TO catch the thief or find pO.
liceman. She went to the nearest post
Office, took a telegraph blank and sent
a dispatch to the bank saying. when
any one presents a check signed by -
for 9l0, arrest him and detain him
till l come" She then got into a cab
and drove to the bank. When she
got there she found a policeman ex-
planning to an astonished young man
that he would have to wait little, as
they expected a lady visitor. The
young man will have three years to
get over bis astonishment.
