WOMAN SO
TICKLISH THAT
ROBBERS FLED

KANSAS CITY, Sept 1S.-Being
ticklish saved Mrs. Frances Justine
from losing her purse to robbers,
and a meeting that night might have
been terrifying turned into an anus
ing affair. She was on her way home
when two men commanded her to
walk with them to the shadow Of a
warehouse.
I'VE want money, that is ALL" they
said. $50 throw up your hands"
She obeyed and informed them that
her purse was tucked in the top OF
her corset, under her arm. One OF the
men tore open her waist and thrust
in a hand. II came out in a hurry
to clap over the woman's mouth as
she screamed: "Don't!"
81 didn't mean to cry out that
way" she laughed, as the hand drop
ped and gave her a chance to speak,
"but am awfully ticklish and l just
can't stand IT,"
The continued efforts of the men to
find the purse. while Mrs. Justine's
protecting arm wouldn't stay up,
threw her into fits of laughter, which
so disturbed the robbers that, as she
sank to the pavement, they ran.
The policeman who came up as she
rose and brushed her dress found her
very gleeful over her experience.

FISH'S WINE
SECOND TIME

NEW YORK, Sept. 13.-Fr the
secnd time in three weeks Henry
Van Cortland Fish, member of the
real estate firm of Fish-Marvin, and
who lives at TAG Madison avenue, re-
turned from his summer home at
Scarsdale to his town house to dis
cover that burglars had entered it in
his absence.
Both times the burglars raided the
pantry and wine cellar, but the first
time they did not take anything else.
Mr.. Fish does not yet know how
much they stole the second time.
Mrs. Fish was with her husband,
and she preceded him up the stoop
Of the four-story brOwnstone dwell
ing The doors and windows had
been boarded up for the summer. AS
soon as she opened tho extra outside
door she saw that the heavy street
door had been "ilmmied" and left
ajar.
Her husband guessed the rest, and
thinking the intruders might still be
in the house, went to a nearby tele-
phone and asked police headquarters
to send a policeman. Detective Ca
setti and Policeman Jacobs came
and the three men explored the
house.
No intruder was found. but the
scuttle was discovered open and evi-
dences Of the presence of convivial
cracksmen lay about.
In the lower hall was a suit case
that did not belong to the house. II
had evidently been brought in to
carry out loot In it we're two clocks
that Mr.. Fish valued at $500. The
thieves must have left in a hurry, the
detectives said.
Going to the dining room the party
saws that the intruders had been TAX
ing things easy for a time. Two
empty whisky bottles lay on the din
ing table Cigarette stubs we're scat
tered about the floor Silver table
knives and forks were collected upon
the sideboard as though for removal.

had been carried Off He had taken
the precaution to put his wife's jew
elry and other small objects of value
in storage when he went TO the
country, and was pleased that he had
