UNPROTECTED Men.

There has been a great deal of, talk in
the papers about arrestlng, 'pashers,
thht il, voting men who stand on the cor
ners and paiSerite women, and a great
many good people got the idea it VAS unsI
safe TO travel the streets. This is not the.
case. A woman might travel all DIV Az and
half the riigift and not be insultsi .sh Of
course otice in ina great while, woman
will beinsuated by a mans the same as d.
man Will be by q, woman 10 woman, upI

masher, one who is thoroughly BAD ike
the male loafers that lave BEER Slrirena
from the corners. Is ;ayterroEngShe will
insult a respectable, man and laugh ut
his bushes. One of them was arrested
tie other day for playing her act On a
policeman who was disguised asa fespdct-s
ablelgranger from Stevens Point. These
female Washers are tornado Why, one
of them met arespectable Iehurch mem
Der the other night, aud asked him, how
his liver complaint was! He was a man
who had been troubled with the liver
complaint, and supposing she was spmet
acquaintance, fae stopped ON sthe, corner
and talked with the pullet for about ten
minutes, explaining to her the course of
treatment he had used to cure him, and
dozens Of people passing by that knew
him. and knew that he was clear of. Fl.
nally, she asked him if he wouldn't take i,
her to restaurant and buy her a spring
chicken and d small bottle. He told her
If she would come up to his house she
could have % hen, aud there were lots Of /
bottles, both, large and small, that, she !,
was welcome to. She told MIN TO go to
hades, and he went in drug store and
asked aelerk who that lady was he had
been talking with, and when the, clerk.
who knew her, told, him she was a road
agent, street walker, female masher.
the old man had to sit down on a box Of
drugs and fan himself with his hat. I'VE
mention this to show that the ladies' are !
not the only portion OF our. population
that is liable TO be accosted and insuited. 4
The other night respectable merchant
was going to the opera with a friend from
the country, when q couple of sirens met
them and one said to the other, ''I19ok
at his nibs, and she locked arms wifi 4
him and asked him if he was not l.srl
darling He said his name was. no. /
"Nibs, and he would have to look AZ
his memorandum book before he could
tell whetherhe was her darling or not Isut
from the smell of gin about her person /
he should blush to extempolize. we do
not give his exact language, but in the
heat of debate he Shook her and told her
if she ever clawed on to him again he 1
would everlastiugly go and tell her pa
rents And while he was TALKING with
her the other one had seated herself be
side his country friend on salt barrel in |
frontof grocery and was. feeling in his
vestpocket to see If he had any cloves.
4 female maslfer is rs muchworse thans |
male masher as you can imagine. Who
ever heard Of male inasher feeling in
an unprotected females vest pocket for
cloves? O, the men are simply uupro-
tected, and at the mercy of wicked, de-
signing women, and the police. ought to
protect them. -PecR'S S'aa. 80
