The disreputable hobo who eircnlates
false reports with the intention OF ruin
ing the character Of a girl because che
will not associate with such villianous
ellumps as himself, should be summar-

continuous round OF dissipation and
crime Such men have nothing at stake.

hours and drove the country wild has
given place to a more normal feeling
