asked. You see they have put the
lid on tight in Chicago he replied,
but 1 have no difficulty in getting it
here"
Tells of Chicago Fiends.
Then followed a long conversation
of which the most startling feature
was the fact that there are coke"
clubs in Chicago where the victims
Of the habit congregate and shake
their heads off" as the dope fend ex-
pressed it.
1t appears that both male and fe-
male are victims of this terrible habit
They seat themselves around a little
table upon which a receptacle contain
ing the cocaine is placed.
1t is passed from one to another
and each in turn takes pinch of it
and snuffs it into the nose. The SEN
sation lasts all night and the cocaine
is such stimulant that no one thinks
of sleeping.
The cocaine fiend volunteered the
information that the members of the
coke" club are the worst thieves and
liars in the world.
Depravity of "Dope" Users.
They will steal everything they can
get their hands on" said he, land you
can never place any reliance in what
they say. Your best friend will take
everything in the worls and then
swear he did not do it. even should you
happen to catch him in the act"
II was first a morphine fend" said
the man, and I contracted that habit
as a result of sickness. 1 frequently
had cramps in my stomach and the
doctors gave me morphine in various
forme. It seemed to relieve me. He
would sometimes give me hypodermic
injections. He even went so far as to
leave the needle where 1 could use
it when I wanted to and the result
was that I got over having the
cramps, but acquired the morphine
habit"
II got in with a gang Of other f1ends
and some one told me that coke had
the other stuff beaten a whole city
block so I tried 1t. I liked the cocaine
better than I did the morphine and
have been taking it ever since"
The Chicago man said he worked
every day and the habit did not in
terfere with his daily duties. His ap-
pearance and his nervousness. how
ever belied his statement and the fact
that he took time from work to &C
to Hammond three times a week proved
him to be the liar that he said al
coke" f1ends were.
He claimed to have been at an in
stitution where a cure of the habit
was guaranteed, but, "A man once 9
coke fend is always a coke fend'
said he. "and 1 have given up the
idea Of having any other pleasure
in life than those I get out OF the
drug"
THE stuff costs a dollar for al
eighth of an ounce said he. THE
boozers may think they are sports
when they spend a dollar setting 'en
up but I am right here to tell yol
that my little sprees cost me NOR
every week than those fellows spend
