PRIMITIVE WOMAN WAS NEW.

Indian Relics Prove That the First
Potter Was a Woman.
The discovery near Maurice river, in
the neighboring state of New Jersey,
of large numbers of stone implements
used by Indian or other tribes in the
long gone centuries brings into notice
the primitive woman, says the New
York Tribune.
In New Jersey, as everywhere else in
the world, she appears to have been
Industrious and energetic and ingen-
ious Among the implements diseov-
New Jersey were flint knives, with
which she cut meat and probably veg
etables; flint scrapers, with which she
cleaned the ski of deer and bear, wild
cat and other animals, preliminary to
drying and smoking them for use as
wearing apparel; clay pots and pans,
pipkins and dishes, which she made in
primeYal pOtteries, DIT first the sun dry
ing them and thereafter burning them
in hot wood fires. The pottery shows
here and there artistic yearnings on the
part of the unknown makers, more I'M
couth and rudimentary than those Of
the ancient cliff-dwellers, but never
theless they disclose the artistic senti
ments and confirm the long list of ex-
amples collected by, Professor Mason Of
Washington, showing that the first pot
ter. the first modeler, the first sculptor
and carver and the first artist was a
woman.

err doing business at 1874 South Thir-
teenth street, was the medium
through which this supposed infant in
dustry was brought to the attention of
the federal authorities. Mr.. Kuncl
posted a letter with an over due"
postage stamp this morning and one OF
the mailing clerks called his attention
to the fact that the stamp had no value

turned to Mr.. Kuncl, who said he could
locate the person from whom he bought
it. MIR. Kuncl returned to his shop and

and where she got the stamps, she re-
piled that it was nobody's business.

police station by Police Matron Ben

payment for meat sold to Mrs Ptcanik
about 81 worth of stamps and that
several other Thirteenth street mer-
chants had like amounts. The stamps
are separate and bear unInistakable
evidences of having been tempered
with, both on the face and back. Mrs.
Ptcanik refuses TO tell where she got
