Some difference of opinion exists m Can
ton, Ohio, as to how mnch cowhiding vonng
ladies may do who stroll along the streets un
attended at mght Two of them recently be
labored “a soft-beaded young man who fol
lowed them," which leads the Newark Advo
cate to say: “Modest young ladies, who de
port themselves with decency, are not apt to
be insulted, but when their movements are of
a character that seam to be intended to attract
attention and to invite improper advances,
their supposed wishes arc not likely to be
slighted. If they occasionally ‘go back - on
those that are captured by their allurements,
their victims must submit. They took their
chances and lost. "
As an illustration of tbe widespread use of
a certain popular title, it is related that a
gentleman recently stopped into a saloon in
Denver, and eried oat in a load, cheery tone,
•“Hello! come, professor, take a drink.”
Six men sitting in the saloon at once arose
and came forward, while a bootblack, whose
stand was jnat outside the door, and a pass
ing corn doctor smilingly accepted the invi
tation and stepped in.
