organized you will not see on the side
/ walks and streets dodgers and hand
| bills and waste paper scattered about
/ everything will be clean added the
Iiady with enthusiasm, and the Caucasian
man politely reioined: "And the ladies,
i presume, will also keep eyes on the
mer, and make them walk chalk line
at which our friend nodded approvingly
| and smiled herself away.
/ This is no joke. When the league i:
/ in full blast the men will have to be
/ good all along the line and old Ike,
stories and hairy chestnuts will have te
be rejuvenated or the man will have t
sneak in or stay Oft.
