Identifies Robber by Bites.

Chicago. - Because Mrs. II. Ringer,
1913 Manistee venue, was able to
identify one Of her own bites last
night, altho she had not seen 1t for ten
DAYS, Matthew Wrizbicki, aged 81
years, to whom she had given the bite,
is locked up at the South Chicago po-
lice station charged with having
robbed the woman.
She gave him the bite on the night
of Dec. S, and also on the wrist. Wriz-
bicki, whose name in English Is
"Wristbitten," together with another
man, it is alleged, held up Mrs. Ringer
on her way home that night and took
her purse. That is why she bit Wriz-
bicki.
All she could tell the police about the
men was that she had left the prints
Of her teeth in the right wrist of one
of them. Yesterday Detectives Hale
cki and Altman Of the South Chicago
station saw a man with a bite on his
wrist and concluded that they had the
right man.
LET me see his wrist" said Mrs.
Ringer, when they brought him before
her for Identification.
"Yep," she said, when h had In
spected the wound on the wrist, that's
my bite, all right"
But the man denied it.
"Jll show him whether it's my bite
or not. Here! Hold his hand out
here
And while the police held his right
hand toward her, she placed her teeth
in the marks, and they fitted perfect
ly. That is why the man is in Jail.

Terms Man Chicago Teachers Lemon.
New York.-In an article In Il local
paper yesterday, Miss Catherine cog
gin, secretary Of the Chicago Teach
ers' federation, presents a startling
view OF the American schoolma n
She says, among other things. that 6o
per cent of schoolma'ams are unmar-
ried.
Miss Goggin is unmarried herself.
and she is proud of 1t. Her opinion or
the lord Of creation translated into
good American slang, is that he Is u
lemon"
However, this opinion has not de-
TERED her from conducting Il series OF
little journeys TO the homes OF the
little schoolma'ams with the forth
coming data that:
Ninety per cent of the school teach
ers in the United States are women.
Sixty per cent Of these are irrevoc-
ably destined to single blessedness.
Eighty per cent Of the teachers led
to the altar are forced to work for
their living after marriage.
Ten per cent Of the welded ones be-
come divorces.

one teacher in ten finds any bliss in
married life.
these figures are based on de-
auctions from real life," said Miss Cog
gin. LAS treasurer OF h Teachers
federation and most active manager OF
the pension fund I have had oppor-
tunity to prove my statements by
facts. There are approximately 1000
school teachers in Chicago. OF these
5000 are women. And there are 1000
bachelor girls now teaching Chtcago's
young ideas how to shoot. The com
parlson Is typical Of the situation all
over the United States.
There are several reasons for these
conditions. One reason is that men
are afraid Of school teachers. Above
all things, men hate to be bossed. And
they look upon young women who fol-
low the vocation OF school work as not
| only bossers, but 'naggers.' In a meas
ure this is true. BY their vacations
teachers are imperative. Coming into
daily contact with the unruly natures
of children makes the school teacher
primarily a woman whose desires are
expressed as commands. And this the
fond husband eagerly avoids.

Toes not want a boss for a wife. He
wants a baby. He doesn't even desire

Graft 1874 Bits of Skin.

Westboro, Mass. - One Of the most
remarkable skin grating achievements
on record was completed yesterday at
the farm of j. G. Kestler, when the last
of 1874 pieces of skin was placed on
the arm of Mrs. Kestler.
All the pieces were taken from the
arms and legs Of the husband. The
operation has lasted more than three
months.
Mrs. Kestler was severely burned in
a kerosene explosion last July, the
right side Of her body and her face
being left without skin. The entire
side Is now covered.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE.

says. Glad wisdom characterized all
his sayings ne would not have proph-
&c ed his own death and thereby has
tened it OF ca lsed it,
Now that amounts to blasphemy
sn we have no longer patience with
the author.
But why discus, her system longer?
Her boy has laid the axe TO the root of
the tree and great will be the fall a
vas, amount of money has been accu-
mulated, and as "a member Of the
home-circle he wants his share, and
has appealed TO the courts to grant it
TO him. As i'm the case Of old man
D0wie, just as soon as they begin TO
squabble over the money the spiritual
becomes immensely carnal, the super
natural intensely earthly. The Eddy
era hastens to its close, science lowers
its crest i'm the presence Of the Scrip

The pulpit is no doubt justified in
its constant raps at the Sunday news
papers, but in many Of the issues OF
last Sunday, the sermons printed will
compare favorable with the best OF
those preached. We confess that the
yellow was there too, and the sensa-
tional and the disgusting, and these
are to be deplored, but we read that
way back yonder in the days Of Job
when the sons Of God met for wor-
ship, the devil met with them. And
in this connection, let it not be for
gotten that in large majority of the
Saturday papers are to be found most
excellent comments on the Sunday
School lesson for the next day. Bad
