Woman Pays SIS;
ThugGets Cash;
Who Bears Loss?

Boy, kindly page Mr.. Solomon. He
is wanted to decide this question:
II a housewife enters grocery
store, orders supplies for the family
larder and then places on the counter
a IS bill, which is promptly seized by
a negro thief, who shoves it into an un-
charted snowdrift, which cannot be
located, who is the loser by the trans
action, the housewife or the grocery
man?
Prosecutor Keller is of the opinion
that the groceryman stands the loss.
He says the housewife placed the
money on the counter in payment for
her purchases and if the thief beat the
groceryman to the bank note 1t Is not
the woman's fault.
But IL the woman did not actually
place the money in the groceryman's
possession can it be said that she paid
for her purchases?
Boy, page Mr.. Solomon again.
Mrs. A. Meyers entered the grocery
of E. R. Berheide, 244 South Fifth
street, yesterday afternoon and pur-
chased some supplies. She placed
$5 bill on the counter, whereupon Will
