last evening, going as usual by the way OF
| Hunt street. When near the entrance to

others went through his clothing. They

extent is that of housewives being
| bothered with fruit peddlers, who go
from house to house carrying large bas-
kets upon their shoulders containing
fruit. They comprise men of all ages and
| boys who use extra nerve In entering a
residence. They are not backward In in
| sisting that the ladies must buy and II
| satisfied the women folks are without
protection In many cases use insulting
language. One OF these peddlers received
what was due him yesterday at a house
| on Illinois street from a gentleman neigh
[ Dor OF lady whom he had insulted.
Frequently reports are made that wear
| ing apparel is stolen from Railways and
discovered soon after the departure OF
these insulting fruit vendors. IL would
be good idea to have them licensed and
mum bered so that In the case of emerg.
ency the proper one might be appre-
| hended.
