The local" of the Chicago Republican
says: "The newest method of making an
honest living is to go round at night with
an accomplice, and play tom cat under
the windows of irascible bachelors. Then
they throw boots and boot-jacks, and
hair-brushes, and crockery, and--and
things at you, and you pick them up and
sell them for old rags. We got part of a
bedroom set worth $3.50 last night, and
tonight we are going back to get the
rest of it,"
