A Girl and Her Money.

The fact that a Young woman, FIVE
feet and one inch in height, was able
to Illustrate and almost knock out a
six-foot robber. by hitting him over
the head with a purse containing her
weeks salary, is an interesting illus
tration Of the large Improvement that
has taken place in recent years, both
in the force Of womans muscle and in
the size of woman's salary.
1t may also, to the wary, seem a
warning that some good things may
be carried too far A woman with
money has been one of the legitimate
pursuits of aspiring but impecunious
youth since the beginning of time. and
II will be sad evidence of the passing
of some OF the customs of good old
days, should the combination, once so
attractive. become In the new civil.
cation a thing to be avoided like the
hind leg Of mile.
