Nothing Like q Woman's Wit.
From Harper's Bazaar.

From Harpers Bazaar.
This is the story that was brought back
by a young person who had spent a morn
ing at a hospital in Central New York:
While l was there a man and woman
came in bringing a burned child in a blan-
ket. 1t turned cut that the man didn't
know the woman, nor the woman the man,
and neither knew the child. AS the woman
was riding on an open trolley-car on her
way to the hospital, she heard a Shrek,
and saw child in a door yard with its
dress afire. She jumped off the car
grabbed a blanket which hung on a clothes
line, wrapped it around the child, and rolled
ii on the ground. The child's mother came
out of the house and picked the child up.
That started the fire again. The rescuer
instantly grabbed the child from the
mother, rolled it on the ground in the blan-
ket some more and then ran with 1t to the
car got aboard. and brought it to the hos
pitaL Tho man was stranger to her,
who happened to be on the car, and who
carried the child a block or so from the
car to the hospital. The child was badly
burned, bat will recover. Don't you think
that woman's wits were pretty quick?"

CURED HIS WIFE OF "oApp,no"
Connecticut Husband Locked Her In =

Connecticut Husbsa Locked Her In =

Husbands In New Haven, Conn.
have very effective method OF curing
wives OF the habit OF "gadding
around" One man named Bates. who
was afflicted with a gadding wife. es-
sayed to cure her by locking her up In
a room. He was driven to this act
because his helpmeet was rarely home
when she was wanted. and in couse-
qucnce he seldom had a well-cooked
meal or tidy house to come home to.
Instead OF having family row he
thought he would lcck her up so that
he would know where to find her when
wanted. He fitted up an iron-barred
and padlocked door, and every day be-
fore leaving the house he locked his
wife in. This was done day after day.
Soon the enighbors began to miss
Mrs. Bates. and there was much. spec
ulation as to the cause. When the
nelghbors went to the door to call
there was no response to their raps
and the house seemed deserted. This
seemed remarkable. for there was
time when Mrs. Bates was seen abroad
every day. Finally the mystery was
explained. The nelghborhood was
startled one day at the sight of Mrs.
Bates leaning out of third-story win
dow of her house shouting for help.
Soon a group of neighbors gathered
and to them the woman related a start
ling story. She claimed that for six
weeks her husband had kept her lock-
ed up in the house. and under no cir
cumstances would so much as give
her the liberty Of stepping outside the
door In his absence. She had stood
the treatment as long as she could and
had decided to rebel. The excited
neighbors told the police the story, and
In few minutes an officer was sent to
investigate. He found the woman's IS
story true. The door OF her room was
fastened with huge iron bar pad
locked TO the door casing. The police
sent at once for the woman's husband
and made him unlock the door and
remove the bar and paddock.
