THE LIMIT OF LIFE.

The most eminent medical scientists

the generally accepted limitation of
human life is many years below the
attainment possible with the advanced
knowledge of which the race is now
possessed. The critical period, that
determines it's duration, seems to be
between so and so; the proper care OF
the body during this decade cannot be

SLAP IN THE FACE
FOR STREET WASHER
UNPLEASANT EXPERIENCE or
THREE FRESH GUYS"
Result of Following Three Young
Ladies Saturday Evening With
an Attempt to Catch On
LOvely!-Let the Good Work Go
On-Better Than Sermon.

A story is told of three young men
follow ing three young ladies Satur-
day evening where "resulrs' wers
not as pleasant as had been anticipat
ed, resulting in one of the brave (?)
youths getting slap in the face, the
sound of which could be heard for
couple of blocks on a certain street.
The three young ladies were returning
home about 10 80 O'Clock in the even
ing, when they were followed and
later accosted by the three fresh
young "guys,' who passed remarks
that are not becoming to young gentle
men and are only INDUCED in by hood
lums. The remarks were resented by
the young ladies who informed the
fellows that if they followed them
any further, there would be a scene.
The trio of would be- Washers paid no
attention to the warning and ventured
further and even became so bold that
they took hold of the arm of one of
the young ladies. This was the climax
and with all the force at her command
the young lady gave the tormenter a
slap in the face. 1t should have been
enough to have brought the fellow to
his senses, but it wasn't. Instead of
sneaking away like whipped dog, as
he should have done, the fellow gave
a further outburst of ignorance in
an attempt to return the slap and
also by attempting to kick the young
lady.
This story comes from lady resid-
Ing on certain street who witness
ed the bold and ungentlemanly actions
of the trio of freshies and heard some
of theiI ungentlemanly remarks. A
lacy nearby took occasion TO compli-
ment the young laGies on their BRAY
cry. Watertown has a few of these
fresh young ''guys" who make
practice of trying to force attention
from young ladies'. The Leader has a
few "spotted' and unless there is
reformation along these lines, they
will some day be dealt "roast' that
will be hard for them to digest.
1 AS The Leader has said before, the
young men are not always the ones to
blame. There are young ladies in
the city who encourage them. There
are young ladies, some of them not
yet out of their short dresses, who
are on the streets nightly gadding up
and down Main street Their ever
presence on the street certainly does
not add to their reputation as being
home girls. There are several
young ladies whose nightly presence
on the streets is causing remarks to
be made and if continued will cause
the tongue of gossip to wag. Girls
who have comfortable homes and
pleasant home surroundings should not
encourage habit that leads to the
reputation OF" street walkers'-a
reputation that is the most detested
OF any among upright young men who
look to the sensible and home girls
for association and ultimately for com
panions in life.
