From high up among the hoodlums Mary caught, quite distinctly, long low whistles of very sensual admiration and such critical epigrams as "Wow!" "Oi-yoi!"... "Me for that!" and "Some girl!" She felt for an instant that she was standing there wrapped in a blaze of shame, bound to a stake of vulgar heckling.
The meeting thus broken up, we abandoned a further attempt that night. As our little, bannerless procession filed slowly back to headquarters, hoodlums followed us. The police of course gave us no protection and just as we were entering the door of our own building a rowdy struck me on the side of the head with a heavy banner pole.
Not only were the chains of slavery tighter in the South, but in the North the free Negro was beginning to feel the ostracism and competition of white workingmen, native and foreign. In Philadelphia, between 1829 and 1849, six mobs of hoodlums and foreigners murdered and maltreated Negroes.
"Step lively, then," said Jack, "for I've an engagement to dance the next waltz." "I'll waltz you all you'll need this evenin'." But before he had finished speaking Ben Tremont stepped around the corner. "Hello, Jack! What is this I see?" said Ben. "Disgracing yourself by talking with these hoodlums." "Yas, deah boy," drawled Jack.
This bit of history I have mentioned for the dual purpose of shedding light on former bathing facilities in East Aurora, and more especially to show that once we had the hoodlum with us. Hoodlumism is born of idleness; it is useful energy gone to seed. In small towns hoodlumism is rife, and the hoodlums are usually the children of the best citizens.
The submarine boy, therefore, wheeled and ran swiftly toward the fighting hoodlums, though wholly intent on getting past them. Radwin, believing that the young skipper was racing for help, dragged his driver-companion roughly, swiftly along, finally pushing him inside the hack. Then Radwin leaped to the box, gathered up the reins, and was away like a flash.
Nearly a dozen boys were crowded in the room and each of the two small beds sagged dangerously under the weight it held. "We knocked," said Amy, "but you hoodlums are making so much noise that " "Hi, Amy! How's the boy?" called a youth whose position facing the door allowed him to discover the newcomers. Heads turned and other greetings followed.
He was still wary of all "rich guys" and "sissies"; but he used to go down and peek through a hole in the fence of Temple's lot when they were practising their games. Mr. Ellsworth said nothing, only winked his eye at the boys, for he saw which way the wind was blowing. Tom Slade, king of the hoodlums, had the scout bug and didn't know it. Then, when the time was ripe, Mr.
Nowadays farmers use and abuse so much complicated machinery, that it is more than likely one could construct entire an automobile from the odds and ends of a half-dozen farm-yards. All boys and most girls under twelve say, "Gimme a ride;" some boys and a few girls over twelve say, "You look lonesome, mister." What the hoodlums of the cities say will hardly bear repetition.
Only one or two of us old folks know what the original trouble was about; but you ask a Plattville man, to-day, what he thinks of the Cross-Roads and he'll be mighty apt to say, 'I guess we'll all have to go over there some time and wipe those hoodlums out. It's been coming to that a long time.
