A FEMALE DODGE A CELEBRATED female toper named Nan Pinder used to pawn everything she could lay her hands on for drink. Every Monday evening regularly she pawned her clock and redeemed it Saturday night thus gaining the use of it for Sunday as a treat. This had occurred so often that the pawn broker never used to untie the red cotton handkerchief in which N an always wrap- ped the clock. , .. Noting this·, one Monday she tied up a cow's head in the handkerchief and the pawn broker.advanced the money as usual. Strange to say, Nan didn't redeem the clock the next Saturday . [ 28]
