AReligious Primer Lesson,

What is that? 1t is a curb stone bum.
mer. Does he always stand there? Nearly
always. When the police are in sight he is
scarce. The mayor makes the police keep
the buns off the curb. Is this right OF
course it is right, The mayor knows these
buns to be an impudent, Profane set who
stand on the curbs to mash" green girls,
and leer and ogle at respectable ladies who
pass by them. They should all be in the
Work House. But will they have to 60
into saloons il they are driven from the
curbS No, my innocent the combined as
sets of the curb stone buns would not buy
o glass of beer. The curb stone bum has
nothing but his cheek and his powers OF
endurance. He can stand fifteen hours on
the hardest kind OF stone without hurt to
himself Are the buns small boys? No,
they are the big boys and men who are
too lazy to work. Some kind man ought
to provide little kennels with stoves in
them near the curb stones SO that they can
sleep there when they are not on duty.
Are they ever off duty2 Hardly ever At
lunch times in saloons they are off for
few minutes. That is oil. Where does the
curb stone hummer mostly abound. On
the west side of Market street, between
Twelfth and Fourteenth, although he is
found all over the city. He is found there in
his pure unadulterated Cussedness. Ny
son, It is better to be in the Workhouse
than to be a hummer. Why Because the
faces of the bummerS at Twelfth and Market
streets, and at Fourteenth and Market
streets are as well known and hard as the
face Of the "stone figger" at the Capitol.
Will the Judge of the Police Court fine the
buns? OF course he will, for the Judge
knows the buns are a nuisance, and the
Judge must do his duty. Bully for the
Judge

very large and complete assortment OF all
other goods appropriate to the season, such
