It was not safe for a man to travel home after nightfall, unless accompanied by a friend and to leave anything outdpors after nightfall, or to go to bed with a door unfastened or a window left open was the height of folly. The newspapers clamored for an increase in the number of policemen. It was clearly shown that there were too few officers for the population. The press urged that the force be increased to one policeman to each 1,000 people, at least. A city council, which heeded the advice of the press, gave the relief offered, and some twenty men were added. The newspapers also suggested that ft m ft ft Something for the Boy for Christmas?

Today this form of entertainment is as popular as ever, anu has fastened itself to popular favor with a tenacity which cannot be shaken. The Primrose and Dockstader aggregation is a case of the survival of the fittest. Ever since the formation of the partnership its success has been pronounced and certain. Primrose has walked down flowery paths as fragrant as his name ever since he associated himself with the irresistible Dockstader.

"While Dockstader is not the whole show of the Primrose and Dockstader minstrels, yet to see him in his colored stunts is in itself worth the price of admission.
