College Girl, Urged by Remorse, Makes Penance After Years to Friend She Robbed. Chicago. Whether the ancient Greeks intentionally meant to throw a slight upon the fairer sex by depicting their cynical offspring, Mr. Diogones, as searching for an honest man, is unknown. ~ Should a similar search be Instituted at the present time, Miss Rien Tedesch, a former coed of Cincinnati university, now visiting her sister, Mrs. Paul H. Philipson, of this city, could give valuable assistance. “Long ago,” asserts Miss Tedesch, “I suffered the loss of a purse containing three dollars and some change. Years passed and blotted its loss from my mind. Yesterday I received 9 letter from home saying I was the recipient of S3OO from an unknown source. “Another letter followed, from which I learn that a farmer college friend was the person who had taken the money years ago. She says that her parents and ancestors were honest Puritans and that remorse has worked havoc with her. She hopes that now, by discharging a penance, she will find relief from the purgatories of an evil regretted.”
