WOMEN WHO HAVE
SHOWN THEIR GRIT.
Half Il Dozen Fair st. L0uislnS
That Did Not Run FInm
burglars.
PUT THE THIEVES TO R0UT.
Plucky Fights Made hy Mrs. Mid
dleton. Katie KEELING. Mrs.
Hill. Mrs. Johnson and the
Misses Bergman.

The manner in which some 81. Louis
women treat burglars is calculated to maize
members uf that profession revise he
ancient axiom that the only thing n'C'--
sary to prevent interference from a MEM
her Of the fair sex is TO keep her from
screaming.
ST. Louis women have a way Of going at
ter a burglar or any other kind Of
thief with pokcrs, brooTnS, mop handle and
bare fists. All of which is undoubtedly very
disgusting t. the burglar.
During the last few weeks there have
been no less than half a dozen battles be-
tween women and robbers in st. Louis. In
every case the thief received a hard drub-
hing, and in one instance he was captured.
In no case did he get much booty.
Ordinarily it would seem that Il woman's
natural timidity would hold her back; but
when her property Is in danger it seems thai
a 81. Louis woman is even Drawer than u
man, who is supposed to be better able To
offer resistance. 1t may be that ST. Louis
women feel that even a thief poss. sses some
Ea.Lanrry. enough to prevent him from
striking 4 woman; or il may b. that eN-
citable te-mperamcnts inspire them with "a
heroic defense Of their rights. At any Ia;r.
the fact. as demonstrated in the last few
weeks, remains that upon such occasions Il
woman. as a general rule. Is more pluCky
than a man. There have been a few cases
where men offered resistance, but they nave
been few. and the men nearly always get
the worst of the deal.

These are the men who fill our

keep down dull periods during

gets to cold, too hot, too wet or
too dry for these kind of men.
The buying public is as prone to
run after bargains as the sparks

them and when they come sell to
them in such a way as tC
show that you appreciate their
