WOMAN BEATEN, BUT
SAVES HER MONEY
Snarling Toy Dog Also Aids in
Spelling Plans Of Men with
Drawn RevOlverS.

Although three men with drawn re-
volvers threatened Mrs. Julia Will
Jams. sixty two years old in her apart
ment at No. 3Jj East Houston street,
last night. they could not frighten her
into telling them where her money and
jcWelry were hidden.
you won't Are those guns" said the
old woman. You don't dare. II you
do YOU know the neighbors will hear.
Get out Of my Hat or Ill call the po-
lice
The robbers did not fire. but. gather
ing closely about Mrs. Williams. they
beat her with the butt end Of the re-
yolyers untn she fell unconscious. Be
fore they could search the premises for
booty a little snarling toy dog named
Judy ran out from an adjoining room
barking as loudly as fox hound In
full cry. Nor was she content with
barking. She refused 10 be bound by
the rule which limits the dog who
barks merely to ultimatums without
action.
one of the robbers cried out as judy
sank her teeth just above his ankle.
The dog was wise enough not to retain
his hold, and when heavy boot
swished through the air JUDY had
darted TO the other side Of the room
and selected another victim. Alarmed
by the noise, Mrs. Sarah George Cecil,
q daughter-iu-law OF Mrs. Williams,
came from the kitchen just In time TO
see the robbers rush out, with Judy in
close pursuit.
Dog and woman followed the in
truders down three flights OF stairs.
Judy did not possess the abilities OF a
bloodhound in addition 10 her other ac-
complishments, and. once in the street.
the men succeeded in losing themselves
in the crowd. Mrs. Cecil said that the
three robbers were all young men about
nineteen or twenty years old. She
could give the police only a meagre de-
scription OF them.
An ambulance surgeon found Mrs.
Williams had been badly beaten, and
wished to take her to. the hospital.
| Nonsense" said the old woman. with
spirit I'm sixtytwo years old and
I've never been in the hospital yet. /

from Falling Off.

TO help men keep their New Years
resolutions Is the object OF a class which
openg on January . under the direction or
DR. Louis r. Welzmlller. at the West Side
Y. NJ. &. \. There is nothing 'faddy" or
sensational in the class. he says but a
simple. sane method OF helping men fulil
their New Years resolutions.
"Nlany good resolutions are made but
comparatively few are kept says Dr.
Welzmiler who is physical director at the
Y. ~ G. 4. Most men fall down on
their resolutions not so much because Of
weak will power as depleted and run
down muscular and nervous systems
Last year knew several men who re-
solved to mount the water wagon and
stick there for one whole year. The first
man slipped off bright and early the
morning after New Years. He was weak
and run down, and found It impossible TO
resist the desire TO take something as a
, stimulant The second man slipped off
few DAYS later. Another man resolved to
quit cigarettes. Among his Christmas
presents were several boxes OF cigarettes
and he threw them into the furnace. He
held out for one day.
"One man who had resolved was vic
torious. However. he was In good physi-
cal condition and kept himself that way
