Had the officers Of the Da-Du Association
known that the "Maneater' was on board be-
fore the excursion left the city be would never
have been allowed to stay. 1t Is an unwritten
rule among the clubs and associations on the
west side to keep the Maneater away from
their outings. For two years the Manenter
has had to endure this social ostracism,
much to his disgust, for he is fond Of picnics
and such affairs. They afford excellent oppor-
tunities for his peculiar talents, and there Is
always tho assurance that there can be no
police interference With tho little scraps in
which it is his delight to figure.
The Maneater's name is BENJAMIN Jackson.
He Is 81 yenrs-old.: and lives at 1913 West Nine
teenth street. He got his nickname from his
habit Of using his teeth as well as his hands
and feet in the fights in which he is constantly
mixed up, and his name was scratched from
the west side club lists because he cannot en-
dure q condition OF peace and harmony for
more than a few minutes at a time.
The Da-Du Association Is an adjunct Of the
Mark Brophy Association, and has rooms at
Morton and Greenwich streets. Once every
year the Da-Dus have a moonlight excursion.
