they are not at all behind in the physical variety.

him morally her inferior In loyalty. truthfulness.

perseverance in well-doing she IL immeasurably
above him. This has been noticed by great writer's
in every age and II would not be difficult to dis
cover why she Is so much mans moral superior.
Vaudeville thought II was because her brain was
more accurately balanced We think. however.
that II Is largely owing 10 a higher standard OF
moral conduct having been constantly demanded
from her from remotest times."

DEGENERATE WRETCH
Entices Little Girl Into Shed and
Frightens Her Into Mysteries

Yesterday morning at Q o'clock the
1-year- old daughter of Maurice Moracio.
who lives at 1921 South Grand avenue.
was sent on an errand to butcher shop
at the corner or Fifteenth and Main
streets. AS the child was returning
man stepped up beside her and asked if
she would not like some candy. If she
would he told the little girl to come with
him and he would get her some sweets
and buy her a new hat and give her IS.
The child believed what she heard and
walked along with the stranger until
they arrived at woodshed surrounded
by a high fence at the corner of Seven
teenth and Grand avenue. He persuad-
ed the little girl to go into the shed with
him. Once inside he frightened the child
almost into spasms by disrobing ard
making spectacle of himself. The lit
tie one ran out of the shed and started
down the street for home. The degen-
crate who had enticed her away with
him quickly drew on his clothes and
started in pursuit. He had not gone far,
however. when he turned into a side
street and fed.
The little girl ran home, where she fell
into her mothers arms in a fit of hys-
terics. When she had recovered suf-
ficiently to tell her story she related
what had occurred. a telephone mes
sage was then sent to the police station,
and two stalwart officers went out TO
look for the fiend. He was not found.
however The little girl was able to
give description of the fellow. She said
that he was about as old as her father.
which would make him in the neighbor-
hood of so. and was clean shaven. His
hair was slightly gray. He wore straw
hat and a light suit of clothes. which
looked quite shabby. A description of
the fellow was read to the night watch
at the police station last evening and
strenuous effort will be made to find
him.
