man that he bushes like a woman {"
said the social philosopher TO a repre-
sentative OF the New York Times.
How women ever gained the repu-
tation OF having run up a corner in
bushes is beyond my comprehension
The report does her a grave injustice
for as a matter Of fact she not only has
no monopoly in bushes. but does not
make use OF the share that properly
belongs 10 her. There are some wo-
men, OF course, who blush IL you even
blink an eyelid in their direction. but
as a general thing men blush much
more readily and more violently than
women.
This is not a random statement that
l am making for the purpose OF hear
ing myself talk, but sober deduction
founded on careful observation. For
years l have made it point TO study
the sexes in moments Of embarrass.

signal Of distress much more quickly
than the average woman. This holds

TRAPPED BY A WOMAN.
Lawyer and Constable Who Were
Serving IL Writ Locked Up.

! 4 lawyer and an executioner of the law
| placed under lock and key by one against
whom the law was being enforced formed
an exciting and amusing episode at a
Broadway motel on Monday afternoon.
One of the woman guests at the hotel
| had dispute with tailor over payment
for tailor made suit. Being unable to
! secure prompt settlement for the suit of
clothes. the tailor tried his hand at suit
at law An attorney, retained for the pur-
/ pose, swore out a writ OF attachment,
| and. securing the services OF a deputy
| constable. went to the hotel with the fell
purpose OF attaching the woman s person
| al effects.
| The lawyer and the officer gained ac-
! cess to the woman's room and proceeded
| to levy on a big Saratoga trunk, contain
ing her wearing apparel. While they were
engaged in the effort to drag the trunk
from behind the bed, the woman slipped
into the hallway, closing and locking the
door securely behind her. thus making
prisoners of the lawyer and the deputy.
In vain the two worthless pleaded to be
liberated The woman held the koy in her
pocket and went out for walk. The i'm
prjsoned men rang the call bell, pounded
on the walls and did everything to at
tract the attention of the hotel help, but
no help came to them.
After amusing themselves in this man
ner and in studying their lair Iailer s
wardrobe for an hour or so, they were
about to carry into effect the scheme oil
breaking from their prison by means OF
rope made of sheets and the iire-escape,
when the woman returned with some
friends, who put up the money to pay the
tailor's bill This Modified the minions
OF the law and they departed, each prom
Using The other not to give away the joke
on themselves.
Thus far the principals of the affair
have escaped exposure, but IT is said Fred
Brakesuhler knows the name of the law
yer who was locked up and the fact that
Brakesuhler was mysteriOusly missing
from his office for two hours on Monday
afternoon and was frustrated and unable
to give a satisfactory account of himself
when he returned lends color to the sus-
picion that he also knows the name of
the deputy constable who got caught in
