What harm if they came out about II o'clock carrying the dust prints Of two shoes on the back of their coat, for there were marks just as plain on the back of the other fellow.
 The "nigger heaven" gang had much in common. To begin with. 25 cents was about as much as any one up there could afford to pay for a nights entertainment. Most of them were employed in the fac tories and if they were earning $S q week. they were well off.
