HER STOMACH A TREASURY.
A Young Woman's New Way OF
Acquiring Money.

A Paris cable to the New York
Times says:
The police have discovered trick
new to them, which has been prac-
ticed in the restaurants frequented
after midnight by the better class of
people.
Last night, in resort on Mont
martre, where city officials and OPP
era stars are we'll known and New
Workers are sometimes seen, a law
yer drew louis from his pocket to
pay for his refreshment, whereupon
young woman Of engaging manners
approached and, announcing herself
as a fetishist, asked permission to
bite the coin for good luck.
The lawyer was complaisant, but
the girl, instead of biting the coin,
swallowed it. Despite her alluring
smiles the lawyers cOmplaisance
changed to resentment. He called a
policeman and the girl was arrested
At the station house the commissary
ordered an emetic. Then, to the
CONSERVATION of those present, there
came into view not the louis, but
two ten-franc pieces. The commits
sary urged a second effort, and the
patient rid herself not of one, but
two coins of the desired denomina-
ton. Then she was locked up.
The police have learned that she
has been practicing her game with
great success. Most of her victims
