JUMPED FROM A CAR.
Athletic Young Woman Fell, but Was
Unhurt.

A 14th street car was merrily swinging
down that thoroughfare last Friday morn
ing just as the bargain counters were be-
ginning to do business. The car was hall
ed at Rhode Island avenue by white
haired woman. Before 1t had come to a
halt. however. dashing young woman,
with a wealth Of blonde hair, surmounted
by picture hat, and wearing navy blue
suit with a white shirt front, tripped sud
denly from the sidewalk and deftly swung
to front seat in the open trailer" The
car stopped and took on the aged woman
and then started. The conductor came at
once for his fare. and then it was that
the young woman noticed that she had no
pocketbook.
Il have forgotten my purse" she ex-
claimed as the color in her pink cheeks
deepened.p and she arose and started for
the running board of the car. The con-
ductor placed a hand on her arm and at
the same time pulled the bell rope.
walt till the car stops. please" he re-
marked.
"Oh. that's all right" the young woman
responded, and she persisted in making her
way to the edge of the car. AS she stepped
down on to the running board the conduc-
tor frightened his grasp of her arm. The
gripman had taken the signal to apply to
the next corner and the car was by this
time at full speed. The face Of the young
woman was assuming an angry expression
by this time at the restraint placed upon
her by the conductor.
II say. you take your hand from my
arm" she demanded. at the same time she
wrenched her shoulder in such a manner
as to throw her arm up in the air and the
conductors hold loosened. The instant she
was free she stepped gracefully from the
car man fashion," and had the speed not
been quite so great and her leap quite so
hurried, she would have had the laugh on
he RI fn1
Of passengers. AS it was. however. she
maintained her equilibrium long enough to
prevent a hard fall. but she went down
Just the same. Three bells were sounded
to the motorman and the car suddenly
stopped. The athletic young woman had by
this time regained her feet, and with q
wave of her hand to the conductor to go
on, she turned and made Off in the oppo-
site direction.
Don't stop the car to get her name, !"
shouted half a dozen women in the car at
the same time. THE crazy thing" they
declared. and the incident was closed.

true manhood than TO see gang of
young bloods parading street and
making goo goo eyes at every pretty
girl who passes. And yet this is
cities but in the country towns as well.
But are the young men only to blame?
We hardly think so. There are too many
young women out cunning for Washers

order 10 get acquainted with the girls.
In fact the fault lies with both sexes,

life, the sooner we will make some APP

the evil in order TO eliminate him.

nothing. 1t must be born in him.
