She carried to her school room a quart of “white mule” and a revolver. Her next act, of course, was to report the matter to the police, who have little hope that the man sitting next to Miss Wood on the street car will do the same. Miss Wood and the police do hope, however, the man will at least mail her Boston bag, which contains ex- amination papers of her puplls, a pair of eyeglasses and a $10 bill, to her home.
