Man’s Protection.

Mrs. Sadie Grifi‘en of New York City,
is fully equipped for taking an active
part in theistrnggle offilifefilhe is young,
about twenty-three years of lige,lrather
frail, and has been married only a few
months. She was startled the other day
on hearing a voice in an adjoining room.

‘ Opening the door to the room, she
quietly entered, and saw a strange man
rummaging in the drawer-slot herjnew

bureau. She asked what he wanted, ‘

and he, stammering some excuse, tried
to escape.

Although the man was strong and
powerful, Mrs. Gritl‘en never hesitated.
She caught hiscoat collar behind with
so firm a grasp that in the desperate?
struggle of the burglar for freedom the
coat was split from collar to tails. Then
she pitched the burglar on the bed and
tried to lock the door on him from the
outside, but he was too quick and
attempted to duck past her. In this he
was foiled, for she threw lzer right arm
around his neck and held on for dear
life. The man pleaded for release, but
she only tightened her grip.

The man lunged for the stairs and
dragged his captor down the full flight.

Mrs. Grifi'en caught the banister with .

her free arm. “Stop! You are choking

mel” he said. “Don’t pull so hard

and it won’t choke you,” she replied.

xerting all his strength he tore away
from her and fell face downward on
the floor. Ashe rose she struck him
full in the face with her fist, and then
they clinched again. Down anotherI
flight of stairs they went, locked to-
gether. The noise brought neighbors
.tQ the scene and the man was captured.

Had Mrs. Grifien been a delegate to

the Populist convention in Denver the
other day, there would have been no
three hours’ fighting. One set-to
would have been sufiicient for Mrs.
Grifi'en to convince the male delegates
of the inadvisability of a. mix-up 'with
her, and after the one'engagement the
order of business would have been car-
ried out without the interjection of any
side issues.

It will be some time before another
attempt is made to burglarizs the
Grifi'en house. As long as Mrs. Grifi‘en
stays at home the house is sale. No
burglar will venture within its portals
knowing her to he on hand. They will
select an occasion when she has taken
a day all.

A man with a‘wife like this one can
go to sleep in peace and fear no evil.
He is safe from harm. Afew women
after the pattern of Mrs. Grifl'en tossed
into the matrimonial market would
make a boom in marrying unequalled
in marriage annals. I

Typical Cretan Christians.

The cablegram that brought the de-
tails ot the burial of the unfortunate
Russian seamen and officers who were
killed bv the explosion of a great gun,
in the turret of one of the warships en-
gaged in the blockade of Crete, fur-

ished other news almost as horrifying
as that of the disaster. The Christians
of Constantinople,we areinformed.werc
delighted with the news of the tragedy,
and the Cretans gathered at Galata,
where they are numerous enough to
have a large church of their own, held
a special service of praise in celebra-
tion of the awful occurrence.

The attrocity of the performanob
would scarcely warrant notice if it were
laid to the gentlemanly natives of Benin
and Mashonaiand; it is because the
participants in this. act of. barbsrism
”confess and call themselves Chris-
tians" that the subject becomes impor-
tant.

This warwhoop celebration of an ap-
palling calamity that shockingly slew a
score and a half of innocent fellow
creatures is the conclusive answer to be
made to those mouthing British ofiice
seekers who want to stir up a general
European war that will set the world
back half a century in behalf of "‘our
fellow Christians in. Crete.”
