not so very different from a girls read

both girls and boys enjoy equally well.

period, I mean, when the girls con-

Exclusively feminine interests and she
begins to be pleased by the sentimental
stories still scorned by her healthy
minded brother-most mothers, If they
observe the change at all, grow anxious
about the kind of reading they should
select for their daughters. But because
no such change in the boys is apparent,
no thought is taken of the things they
are reading and before the mothers

BEGGAR PRODUCES MISSING
ARM; HITS POLICEMAN
Surprised PatroIman Receivers
and Puts Husky Fugitive Un-
der Arrest After Fight.

San Francisco.-When is a one round
beggar not a one armed beggar? Pa
trolman John j. Mullin learned the an
swer when he went to the hospital.
Mullin caught Russell Head, who
says he is waiter, begging aims on
Market street, near O'Farrell. One
sleeve of the aims seekers coat was
empty, and the arrest caused murmurs
of sympathy for the woebegone beggar
to well from the lips of passers BY
Mullin took Head to a nearby patrol
box.
With bewildering prestidigitation
Head produced a second solid. substan-
tial arm from under his coat. At the
end of the new" arm was attached a
fist which resembled a ham. Before
Mullin could recover from his aston
ishment Head leaned his fist against
the formers jaw. and Mullin fell to
the pavement
Head ran away from there, with Null
lin in hot pursuit. A brisk battle fol-
lowed, during which Head seized the
patrolman's third finger of the right
hand in his mouth and nearly bit 1t off.
Head is now in the city prison, charged
with begging and resisting a police
man, and Mullin is In the hospital with
a lacerated finger.
