Legged Dudes,

CHICAGO, March 20.-Sam Jones
closed his labols for the week with
sermon to girls only. There were over
$500 present. Among other things,
Mr. Jones said:
Girls, watch your company. An
angel from heaven could not keep
some company that girls do in Chica-
60 and not be corrupt. Pure, noble
girls stand alone on this earth for
beauty and glory. Boys go in bad
company, but the hope OF this land is
in its pure girls. Oh, be vigilant !;
guard your parlor. Beware with
whom and how you go to entertain
ments, The best way to go is not to
60 at ALL.
Mr.. Jones then INDUCED in long
description and denunciatioE of the
perfumed young man, He also de-
scribed chase of young ladies after a
spider-legged dude.

young lady" he continued, "and l will

Just nice? Where does he get his
money?

a month, sticks to the business and
the wool hat till he gets a thousand a
year then he gets to be junior part
ner, then senior partner, and finally
owns the whole block where he does
business. You stylish girls do not like
him. Well, he likes you just about as
well, for when he wanted wife he
went back to his country home and
married plain Mary, and for few
years it was love in cottage, and now
he has residence on Michigan ave.
nue.. Girls, tie to those wool-hat boys
and they will take care of you.
