THE DUDE AND DRUNKARD.
"ThoS- two. continued the speaker, as
two men one faShionahly dressed young
fellow, and the other a dissipated-looking in
dividual, walked in from the billiard room,
ARE the dude and drunkard of the trade
The former is 'masher' Of the most pro-
nOunced type. He wears good clothes, in
fact puts all his salary on his back and is
always ON the lookout for girl He walks
down the streets and Stares at every young
lady he meets In the theatre, stores or
church he attempts to make an impression,
and even carries his mashing proclivities 50
far that dining room girl or chambermaid
at the hotel must stand his imPertinent quiz
zing and conversation. He Is perfectly harm
less, as Il rule: has no bed habits other than
this MASKING.
His companion is jolly good fellow,
but he will drink 10 excess. He Is pretty
full now or You wouldn't catch him with
that dude He is good salesman. and
although his employers know Of his little
spreeS, they overlook them bt-CauSe they
knows that no new man can cover the terri
tory or sell the bills that the jolly but dis
Sipated drummer can do when he is sober
Some day the dude will have his head
punched by the brother OF friend Of some
young lady whom he has insulted, and his
mashing will cease Some day the jolly
fellow will have delirium tremenS, and he u
make his last trip to cemetery"

their highest ambition WAS 10 become robbers.
But they had Il methudiCal president, who in
tended that they should be instructed in the
law and ethics of their trade 10 he went to a
broken-dowm shyster at the Tombs, near by,
and hired him for 81 to deliver a lecture on
the dangers and safeguards of sneak THEY
ing.
His first discourse was on the penalties for
different grades of robbery, and especially he
pointed out the fOOliShneSS of taking big risks
for little Doodle Don't break into auy
house" he said, unless you feel sure you can
capture q heavy swag, because that is burg
lazy, punishable with As much as twenty
years imprisonment Don't use force against
persons, because that constitutes highway
robbery, with the same penalty, no matter if
you only take dime But sneak into hall
ways, load yourselves with coats from the
rack and SCOT away, because wear in the
penitentary is the most you can get for steal
ing less than SIS worth, and jury will
usually scale coat down to that figure"

with this lecture that they applied 10 a more
conscientious expert for another. and he III
