letient, the title most applicable Is Im
possible to deteunlne.
The denizens of this unique ldace
have dubbed It the "Hotel Be Hum"
and tin brevity of the name, together
with Its lelevaney 1ms lecommended
the title to the use of the enturesome
boys who have discovered the spot.
"Hotel De Bum" Is the domain
of FiltK, a man of much me

bor, and hence his owneishlp of the "De
num."
Two w Intet s ago Piltz was "doing
time" In the county jail and so enntn
oi ed did he become with the legulaiity
of the meals and the softness of his
couch that he was loath to leave the
county bastile, and later, w hen the law
had exacted Its sweet demands on hliu
he became a lodgei in the cential police
station. His ston couch theie was
scaicely as alluiliur as at the jail, but
it was so hugely better than sleeping
in cettaln dellveiy wagons, left stand
ing In courts and lanes, that ho quite
cheei fully volunteeted to shovel the
snow fiom the sidewalk about the city
hall In eonsldeiatlnn of sleeping apait
ments in the station house.
GUnW TO DISLIKI2 WORK.
Succeeding months Inci eased in Filtz
a moi bid hatied of wotk, and Instead of
w oi king a few months, sci aping to
gethei fifty or a bundled dollats and
then timeline In the lealm of clndeis
and ties, he sousht ietie.it fiom the
hniasslng demands made upon his mus
cular and lobust manhood by life
midst of the iletce competition of mod
el n civilized life.
Late In the fall of '93 he discovered,
high up over Nay Aug falls, a nui row
cave, foimed by an ovei hanging ledge
of locks Here he assembled battel ed
pans and palls and piepnred to piotect
ljlmself fiom the honois of the "svvea
Ing of tho blow." Fiom time to time
he was joined by congenial splilts,
who wete taken In on the expicss stip
ulations that they ftiinl.sh the -victuals,
the fuel and pel foi ni such choies as
Ftltz dictated. The winter came on
and nianv Sciantonlnns, as they drove
over the bildge, above the falls, es
pied the sniveling mortals up under the
lock and compassionately besought the
police to take them to the station house,
toi fear the inoirow night might find
them stiff nnd cold, lu furnishing the
fuel Item Filtz's boaideis made such in
cessant lalds on the old dancing pavil
ion in Nay Aug paik, ut the head of the
street car line, that on the succeeding
summer the pavilion had dlsappeaied.
Its smoothly planed boaids had fed the
Hies under the ledtre, and so near to
which the beneficial les weie compelled
to lay that, mote than once a "Dusty
Hoads" oca "Weaiy Willie" was pain
fully awakened by fire eating his cloth
ing and Incidentally scotching his skin.
HI2 DECAMH DISSATISFIED.
Hut Filtz became dissatisfied and nf
tei considerable nerving up for the oi
deal, he seal died about for a bettor
place, neat watei, fuel and other neces
sities. It was then that last summer
he took possession of the "Hotel De
Hum," of which an exteilornnd Intel lor
iew are hetewlth presented. Jutting
lock paitlully fauns a ioof of this hos
teliy, which Is fast becoming famous
In Hobodotn, and It Is Immediately on
the bank of Hoarlng biook, a few feet
from water and coul washed down by
the watei from above.
"You see ' Filtz began, ns a Ttlbune
lepoiter stiolled Into IiIh letieat a few
days ago, ' I've got do boss place. 12v
eiythlng's dead easy."
"Of com so," suggested tho reporter,
"You have to go out to look for food."
"Now," was the leply; "ine boarders
get's do chuck (eatables,) I havu sev
en boaideis some nights," and a ic
gietful smile overspiead his face, as
he added: "Once I had u coon. Didn't
do no work then."
"Any fishing out tliotc In the brook?"
quelled tho i snorter.
"Yes; but It's too much ttoublo to
get 'cm. Once In u while, when 1 sees
a big fat hull fiog, I nnlls him." rfud
donly he beenmc setlous nnd began:
"Gee, but deso Is tough times; no
wotk, no nothln'. Dcsu guys dnt run
.Scianton don't know nothln'. Why
don't dcy llx up the parks," and ho
yanked his linger townid Nay Aug,
"an" give de laboilng man a chance
to work?"
WOULD ACT AS FOREMAN.
"Would you take n job?" asked the
lcpoi ter.
"Nnw! I might take de conttact ns
foreman."
At this junctuto the jagged outlines
of one of Fritz's bontdeis appealed In
the opening ot the "De Hum," nnd
daikened the Intoilor. After nssurlng
himself that Fritz's visitor was not
hostile, he came In, nnd fiom lecesses
between the lining of an nmplu though
decadent coat, he wlthdiew vatlotis ni
tlclcs of food Potatoes, pieces of
btcad, part of a hum and llnnlly u
chicken was placed In tin? lock iccess
which foi m the lntder of the "De
Hum" Fiitz looked on with a smile
of approbation, and lazily drawing a
bottle fiom n hip pocket, which, when
uncoiked, dissipated the noisome odor
of poor whisky, snld:
"Wheie'd ye get tho chuck?
"Up on do hill," was the cult reply,
as the newcomer, lelleved of the for
aged ai tides, sought to waim his
hands ovei the lntino heat of half a
bushel of coal that glowed In a laigo
lion wntei pipe that tested on a low
of fish plates solving the pin poses of a
giate.
It Is a stiange commentary on man
kind that these men would not ex
change places with the most thrifty
and comfoitubly housed woiknian In
the city.
In the vicinity of the "De Hum" It
Is stiongl hinted that Filtz's boaid
ers uie not the most law abiding per
sons In tho land and that various
cilmes that have been pel polluted lu
that tlclnity and In paits of this city
can be lightly charged to their account.
