There Is small regiment OF young
men who had much rather sleep out or
doors during the hot season than 10 re-
pose beneath the roofs OF their own
homes, and some OF them do not go 10
their homes in weeks. How this gang
gets enough TO eat came 10 light yes
teraay morning, for a man named Grimes
living at B Oak street Informed the po-
lice that a piece OF roast pork had been
stolen from a refrigerator In the nall
way OF mis- home.
This has caused quite a number OF
residents In the same neighborhood TO
exclaim: "Ha. ha. That's where my
chicken went; my eggs. my huckieperry
pie, etc"
In this particular Vicinity the houses
are arranged for two or more families,
most OF whom are fond OF good things
to eat. Then, again, they are honest
and have the utmost confidence In those
who dwell In the houses with them, and
TO make more room in the house. locate
their refrigerators In the entries Of their
respective tenements.
Now, there are few front doors locked
AT night and still fewer backdoors for the
occupants OF the houses for the most
part are mill workers. some toiling days
and others nights.
This the gang OF hoo6lums knows, ana
il Is also known that should anyone hear
them in the entry way. that they will not
be disturbed, for those who have retired
will take Il for granted that someone who
belongs IN the house Is either coming in
OF going cut. Things may be different
from this time on. and some chap who
is helping himself 10 feed" may find
the services Of a surgeon. necessary.
