Show BOLD SCRUBS. "The town Is afflicted with oglers and mashers," Is the way a young lady of eighteen expresses it. "We were' on Lincoln avenue, near-ing near-ing home at a little after six, four of U8 girls," she continued, "when two well dressed young men, strangers, droTe up in a double rig, stopped in front of us, tied tho horses to a post and, approaching, said, 'Girls, take a ride with us Tho least suspecting member of our party said, You have mado a mistake. Then they grew bolder and sought to take us by the arms,1 when our Indignation know no bounds." Our informant says this is not an unusual occurrence of late that these gay danglers are constantly annoying young girls with staring looks and brazen effrontery. , We call the attention of the police to this practice. Of all the low creatures crea-tures on earth, the bold street male , , masher 1b the most despicable and he should he cared for by the strong arm of tho law. The Incident related In the Standard Stand-ard of Monday proves tho boldness of thcBe scrubs. One of them followed a young lady along the street to the very threshold of her home where, fortunately, hor parents stood to catch him. The young man who attempts to form the acquaintance on the street of a girl who has in no manner invited his attentions should be Belzed by the nape of the neck and kicked until he begs for mercy. Tho pride of the average American Is to be respectful and deferential to the ladles and as a result the American Ameri-can girl or woman Is granted a greater degree of liberty than tho female portion por-tion of the population of any other country. There is trust reposed in the blgh-mindedncss of our women and equal confidence extended to the men. The unscrupulous, sneaking degenerate degener-ate of the street who seeks to take advantage of this freedom of action should be horsewhipped not by the men, but by the ladles. |
