1t is not one time in hundred that n
woman has the forethought and presence
of mind to chase l,icklsrket and re-
cover her property. instead of screaming
for the police.
There were two such plucky women
on Washington street yesterday after
noon. however. They were near the
crowded corner OF Washington and Win
ter streets when one of them felt hand
in her pocket. She made a grab for the
hand, but it and her pocketbook were
missing
With rush she was after the thief,
whom she grabbed right in the midst OF
team traffic on Washington street. which
WAS for the time delayed. The horses
of one car thrust their heads against the
woman and her captive. Her friend
was an able second. and laid a hand ON
the other shoulder of the pickpocket. a
Young man some twenty-five years of
age. ''You tiend. cried the other. give
up that pocketbook." This was too much
for the fellows nerves. and ne quickly
pulled it out and handed it over. The
woman "let GO" and the man disap-
peared up the street on dead run. while
the teams once more moved along in un-
broken procession. -Bs,ston Journal

Water Started These Two Eirea.

No principle of natural philosophy is
more familiar than the power of water
to extinguish fire. And yet. strange to
say, water has been known to cause de-
structive fires, not by an accident. but
by direct chemical action. One case of
the kind was in large factory. A flood
caused the water to rise to a pile of iron
filings, which oxidized so rapidly that
they developed great heat and set fire
to the nearby woodwork. The building
was entirely destroyed.
Another case is still more remarkable.
Geveral engines were throwing water
upon burning building. and the water
found its way to another building,
which contained quicklime. The
slaking of the lime, caused of course
by the contact of the water, generated
intense heat, and the heat set fire to the
building. That was q sarcasm of cir.
cumstances, wasn't it?-Philadelphia

valuc of Good Cooking.

We masculines have yet to learn that
the kitchen is the most important end of
the household. If that goes wrong, the
whole establishment is wrong. 1t de-
cides the health of the household, and
health settles almost everything. Heavy
bread, too great frequency of plum pud-
ding, mingling of lemonade and GUS
tards, unmasticable beef, have decided
the fate of sermons, legislative bills and
destiny of empires. The kitchen knife
has often cut off the brightest prospects.
The kitchen gridiron has often consumed
a commercial enterprise. The kitchen

why He Chose the War.

When Charles Dudley Warner was
the editor of the Hartford Press, back in

the state by his vigorous appeals, one of
the typesetters came in from the COM
posing room, and placing himself before
the editor said. We'll, Mr.. Warner, I've
decided to enlist in the army" With
mingled sensations of pride and respon-
sibility Mr.. Warner replied encourag-
ingly that he was glad to see that the
man felt the call of duty. "Oh, it isn't
that" said the truthful compositor, but

why They Leave the Door Open.
There are two occasions that are usual
ly improved by the leave-the-door-open
man. One is when he comes in with the
intention of going out again: the other
when he goes ont intending to come
right back again. 1t isn't because it is
any particular trouble to close the door;
it is the human instinct of providing the
ready means of escape. of safety. The
first thing burglar does when he enters
il house or Il bank is to see that every
thing is clear for sudden exit.
The wise general always plans the

for getting away in case the battle goes
against him. The willy savage and even
wild animals have the same instinct.
When man enters your Office ahd
leaves the door ajar he is uoing just
what any other animal would do-pro-
viding for the possible contingency of
being kicked out. This contingency is

society would seem to warrant.-Now

Farm horses almost invariably eat toe
