T OILOWING are a few facts g1ean- ed from current news dispatches. They show what the woman sex
 has evolved into and is today. They do not need any comment They are their own comment:
 Miss Lena Neuscheler found a man in her room stealing her jewels and mon- ey. She grappled with him and held him with all her might. He twisted and turned and shook and tried to jiu jitsu her, but ne'er a jiu jitsu. It wouldn't work. With all tho power of her strong young arms she clung to | him and called to her father. The girls mother te1ephoned for the police. The girl ordered the burglar to place a | chair in the corner and sit down upon | 1t. The fellow was so taken by sur-
 prise that he obeyed. He took from his | pocket 0 large roll of money and of fered 1t to her If she would let him go.
 She refused, and just then the police
 entered and took charge of her bur guar.
 Next: A young lady of Brooklyn saw | runaway horse plunging madly for | ward, dragging carriage, which whlrled this way and that, threatening death and destruction. A dozen, men
 witnessed the dangerous situation. but none moved. The young lady rushed l from the sidewalk to the street and just as the crazed horse dashed by caught him by the bridle and held on like steel The horse pulled her for ward with him, but still she cIung to the bride, which fortunately did not give way. and by the time he had drag ged her twenty feet he was mastered and stopped by the young heroine.

 tried to practice on his wife. He raised
 so great a disturbance that neiBhbors rushed in to see what he was about.
 They found his wife calmly tying him
 to a chair. He had begun to smash
 things, then attacked her. She had
 promptly knocked him over and laid l him out. She next tied him to the chair, sent for a policeman to put him
 in a place of safety till he got sober, | then went home to her mother to wait till that happened. In the police court Mir. Blankey said he had had enough and wouldn't undertake athletic per | formances at home again.
 With a compound turkey which she
 had just brought home from market for
 a weapon Mrs. Jacobs knocked down 2 thief whom she found robbing heI
