Some crusading was done last week. On Friday night, a dozen women
visited the saloons of Kos and Jugenheimer, followed by a
considerable crown of curious men and boys. They prayed in each
place that the men might cease this and adopt some other
business, and they also sang spiritual songs. Kos, it is said,
remarked as they entered."Dis is no f'eater." Norton
would not let them into his place, as on a recent previous
occasion he had lost a box of cigars, etc. while his attention
was diverted to the unusual visitors.
