JENNIE CRAMER.
IPEcK's Sox.1

A year ago Jennie Cramer was th
most beautiful girl in New Haven
and to-day, if Gabiel should blow hi
trumpet, he wouldn't be able to ge
enough of her together to make
quorum. Girls who are taking tn
chances that poor Jennie took, ever.
day, by taking wine baths inside
bought for them by young, brainles
spendthrifts, had best think over tn,
case of Jennie and imagine how thel
would like to be analyzed the way
she has been. From the testimony
before the Malley entertainment. i
appears that her brain was given on,
doctor to sift, her lungs to another
her heart to another, her liver wen
begging for customer, and her body
was divided up into choice cuts, hel
bones sent to a bone boiler with M
D. attached to his name, and there
probably is not enough left OF the
poor CIR to wad gun. 1t is awful
to think of the way that child was cul
up, and boiled, and fried, and fricca
seed, and roasted, and sifted through

And during the testimony before the
Moot Court, every allusion to any
part of the dead girl which had been
treated by the physlc sharps, smiles
would adorn the faces of the prison.
ers and their friends, the jury would
laugh, and the audience, composed
mostly of women, would blush behind
fans as each organ of Jennies was dis
cussed, and evidence given as to the
search for foreign substances that
would kill. There are thousands of
fool girls that think they know more
than whole families ought to know,
who could be greatly benefited If
they were taken across somebody's
knee and compelled to listen to the
reading OF the life of Jennie Cramer
from the time she first got mashed on
a two-legged jackass until her body
was cut into a thousand pieces to find
out what allied her. About the first
step that young girl takes that Is
wrong is to get an idea that she knows
more than her mother, and that the
old lady is "pack number" and
doesn't know anything about the fun
of being out nights swilling beer,
swallowing highwines, and riding in
a red buggy with a horse that will
drive himself, whether anybody has
hold of the lines or not. Tie girl is
liable to be deceived ip the old lady.
That estimable person no doubt knows
all about it, and knows what fool it
makes of girl. And when girl
will not listen kindly TO advice from
her mother, she should have the con-
ceit taken out of her with a press
board. If Jennie Cramer's mother
had taken her girl across her knees
the first time she rebelled, and taken
a bed -slat and knocked the wind out
of her pager hustle, and spread the
hustle all over the small of her back,
and sat her down in a hard-bottom
chair so hard that the filing had fall
en- out of her upper teeth, Jennie
would be alive to-day, and about this
time in the afternoon she would be
wiping the dinner dishes and singing
"Mother, Is the Battle Over" or
the heels of her fathers
stockings; or, if her mother had TAX
en- her by the hand and kindly told
her that these Malleys were a couple
of galvanized aristocrats who cared
no more for her than they did for a
dog, except to hug her and muss her
up, the girl would have let them alone,
and would now be happy at home.
But the old lady seemed to have
made specially Of scolding the girl,
and finally got her so she had a bet
ter time out doors than she did in
the house, and now there is not
enough left of her to bait a minnow
hook. If mothers set about it right
they can cause girl to be about as
she out to, but too many of them
talk girl blind, and never give them
a chance to rally. Girls who have
symptoms Of being prematurely quick,
should ponder over Jennie Cramer,
and immagine how they would look
cut up into slices no bigger than q
cove oyster, and set away in sealed
bottles.
