H0BBLE SKIRT is HER PROOF
New York Woman Offers Garment in
Evidence to Refute Charge of
Kicking a Lady.

New York.-That 1ady's feelixss
must be in a condition of more than
trifing unrest when she will kick an
other lady is conviction to which
Magistrate Hylan of tie New Jersey
avenue court adheres strongly. So
when a lady complained to him the
other day that she had been kicked by
Miss Frances Stultz, No. 80 Sackman
street, he demanded proof
Il have proof enough" said Mrs
Bertha Lang, No. 10 Sackman street,
who said she had been the kickee.
'but see no occasion for"
"Of course not, of course not" said
the magistrate, hastily. 81 believe
you when you say you believe you
were kicked, but what has the de-
PENDANT to say?"
Miss Stultz swept Mrs. Lang with
glance SO glacial that icieles
formed.
Il have better ways in which to
spond my time" she said, than by
wasting it kicking false friends"
yes" said the magistrate, Mrs.
Lang says she can show should say
Mrs. Lang says she can prove she was
kicked"
mot by me- said Miss Stultz, for
on that day 1 wore a hobble skirt.
Here it is"
She placed on the magistrates desk
bundle, and in the bundle was a
hobble skirt.
Il am no acrobat" she said, mod
estly, "and unless you are an acrobat
you can't, while wearing a hobble
skirt, kick anybody"
Mrs. Lang looked at the skirt.
my goodness, Frances" she said
to the defendant, what pretty
pattern. Did you get it at a saIe?"
Miss Stultz' only reply was a glance
colder, If possible, than its predeces
sors. The magistrate dismissed the
case, saying even a mere man could
tell that kicking in hobble skirt is
thing that is not and cannot be.

STEEL SAFES ON MOTOR CARS
Fleet-Footed Bank Messenger With
SatcheI Gives Way to Up-to-
Date Conveyance.

Boston is in advance Of every other
dty in the country in the extent to
which her banking and financial inter.
ssts have made use of the motor car
IS a vehicle for The transportation OF
DIN, currency, bullion and securities.
A number Of the Boston banks have
dopted motor cars as conveyance
or bank messengers and collectors
IN their rounds of visits to other
banks and to business houses of all
kinds. However, this innovation
marks the elimination of a gradual
evolution. Time was, and not so very
ong ago, either, when the financial
Mercury, satcheI in hand, made all his
trips afoot or on the street cars, but
his plan is now ALMOST obsolete.
One argument for a change Of
method arose from the ease with
which certain robberies of bank mes
sengers were perpetrated in various
large cities, when messengers were
naversing congested thoroughfares
unattended.
The special bank cars do not vary
greatly in outward appearance from
the general run of high class delivery
cars such as are used by jewelers.,
florists, ETC., in all the principal cities.
Their distinctive features are dis

Each car is, in effect, portable safe,

steel. Metal lattice work or close
screen mesh has the preference, al
though 1t is declared that there is no
reason why sheet steel of light weight
should not be employed.
However, for all these motor cars
are fairly impregnable the bankers do
not place sole dependency upon these
steel cages on wheels Each car car

teacher. Il have just finished looking
