A Watertown woman owns a house in small village'and oc- #.upied 1t prior to May 90 last, but on go- ng toathat city to live she locked it I'D, eaving the furniture inside. A few days Lgo she went to the village to see how len property was getting along, and greatly to her surprise she found that the furniture had disappeared. A little later, while looking arouad in the vicinity she Jaw brand new pump, which sheahad recently purchased in the well onsthe premises of neighbor9 Following up his clew, she called. at the house, and there found her entire outfit of furniture, :arpets and dishes, The dwelling was occupied by man and his wife who had been married only couple ofweeks, and. he former said he had found theheuses ,f the ,Watertown woman open and, he-. lieving that the owner would not object, he had borrowed the goods He was evil aently repentant, readily returned the furniture, and paid the woman $10 for its 1se.

 So well did the girls prove their gal lantry and managing ability that the young men feel that they have to go deep into their pockets to reciprocate. The young women are proud of their success and declare that they will set a pace during their ono year of special privileges that the young men will re- quire the next three to catch up with them. y&

SNATCHED FROM DEATH.
Girls Escape From IrOQuois Theater
 Dfaa ster In Chicago

Laverne W. Moves, Chicago manu- facturer while recounting recently at the Waldorf some of the incidents of the Iroquois theater disaster in Chi. cago, said to reporter of the New York Tribune: One of the most mirac- ulous and notable escapes from the aw- ful holocaust was that of daughter of one of my friends. She is tall and slender girl, which may have been an advantage when the manner of her rescue Is considered She was one of the panic stricken throng that was rushing for the exits, and when the awful crush came she was Wedged as if in the grip of q wise in the mass of struggling humanity and could not move to help herself.ssThe heat of the flames that, were behind admonished her that the only way of escape was in front, and that was already blocked by the bodies of the fallen.
 1She believed that her last conscious moment was passing, and with re ligious impulse she raised her hands and clasped them in an attitude of supplication, while her lips bl.eathed q prayer for help or of self commitment to her Maker. Just at that instant q pair of strong arms were thrust over the wall of dead. and the upraised hands were grasped in those of a stur- dy hero. who lifted the fainting girl from her grewsome surroundings and snatched her from the workable jaws of death She was saved. Her prayer for sIiccor had been answered and in the rush and hurry of the work of gen eral rescue she did not even learn the identity of her savior''
