A TRAMP AND HIS PAL
THE TRAIL THAT ONE MADE TO GUIDE
THE OTHER.
It Enabled "Appetite Dill." After Bla
Term tm Jail Warn Dome, to I'aerr
laelr Follow Ilia I'artaer From
Clneiaaati to Uocatoa.
"We have a good many tramps up In
our part of the country," said a sugar
planter, "ami I've made something of a
study of their peculiarities. The old
idea that they carve marks and signs
on fences that can' be read by all other
members of the fraternity is pure nou
seasc, of course, but 1 have known sev
eral instances In wlilch one tramp
would leave a trail, so to speak, for the
guidance cf a partner who might not
put in an appearance for months.
"The first case of that kind I ever
encountered was rather amusing. I
was riding, one spring day, down a
road that passes through my place,
when I noticed a typical hobo indus
triously carving a sort of hieroglyphic
on a big post standing near the fence.
The mark consisted of a square and
triangle side by side, and he was Just
putting on the finishing tducbes as I
arrived.
"My curiosity was at once aroused,
and I determined to find out if possible
exactly what the thing meant; so I pro
ceeded to collar the fellow, ami after a
little vigorous blufling he told me he
was putting up directions for his part
ner, who would be along some time In
the fail. lis assured me that the marts
meti-t nothing in particular, except
that be had passed and was going tn
the direction of the- point of the' trian
gle. 'Ills partner, according to the story
which I drugged out of hlci piecemeal,
was doing a six-months' jail sentence
for slugging a policeman iu Cincinnati
ami wh'eu he got out on 'Sept. 1 would
strike souti:. following a trail of carv
ings on water tanks, depots, barnis and
feuceposts. When the first tramp
struck a good place to loaf, he proposed
to stop and wait for the other to catch
np.
44 'What's your partner's name?" I
asked.
'It's by rights William Sparks.' said
the hobo, 'but everybody calls him
"Appetite R1H" on account of his al
ways being hungry. He carries a sack
to peck grub In and bus red whiskers
and a funny looking wart on one side
of his nose.
"I was satisfied from my prisoner's
manner that lie was telling me the
truth, so 1 took li'iu up to the house,
gave lilui a good dinner and sent him
on his way rejoicing.
"Now for the sequel." continued the
planter. "One afternoon in the fall I
was driving home from the station
when I passed n very dilapidated hobo
with red stubble on his chin and a gun
ny sack tinder his arm. and some In
stinct told me that Mr. Sparks, alias
'Appetite Bill," had at last arrived.
He seemed to be looking for land
marks, and when be reached the big
post I saw him stop, scrutinize the
carving and then start off with a new
and confident step. That settled It.
and I drove abend and Intercepted him
at the bouse, half a mile farther on.
"'Hello, nil!? I suld. 'How's your
appetite this evening?
"'Appetite? he stain tuerud and gave
imch a violent start that ho dropped
bis gunny tuick.
"Why. yes,' said I. Tcrhcps they
didn't feed you very well at Cincin
nati.'
"At the word Cincinnati he turned
livid nnd glared around with sncii evi
dent Intention of bolting that I made
baste to ixpm.!i.
"Don't be chinned.' I said. 1 met
your side partner a few months ago.
and be told i::e to look out for you.' it
took me some time to dissipate Bill's
suspicions, l.ut when I finally euccned
ed in convincing him that It was all
right he told mo a most interesting
story of bis Journey across the coun
try. "A professional hobo will follow the
track of another hobo with an accura
cy that is curiously. suggestive cf wood
craft. All the way down from Cincin
nati Bill had nvver once lost the trail,
and before be left I gave him an ad
dressed postal card and got him to
promise me be would put It in the mail
at whatever point lie caught up with
his partner.1 I.es thau a mouth later 1
received the card, bearing a Houston
(Tex.) date mark: so I presume it was
there they met.
"Both of these tramps could read and
write, and I asked Sparks particularly
why bis friend didn't use some brief
message in place of the hieroglyph,
lie replied that It would attract too
much attention, and other hoboes
would be likely to add misleading
words, while the little square and tri
angle passed unnoticed.
"Since then I have encountered two
other nearly similar cases. In each of
which a tramp was leaving a cipher
trail for a crony to follow when he got
out of Jail, and I infer that the prac
tice Is tolerably common. At any rate
It is a curious feature of tramp life
which I hare never seen mentioned In
any of the numerous papers and maga
rine articles that have appeared on the
subject during recent years." New Or

of honesty and grntilndc for favors.
Ouce he was stranded In Cincinnati,
the tr.ry g;)es, and was unable to start
a show on the road because he had uo
tent aud could not raise money to buy
one. The tent Rice needed would be
worth $2,500. The manager cf a tent
concern sett for the clown one morn
lug and, taking him to his factory,
showed a hi;; tent that was Just finish
cij. Rice looked at It with hungry eyes,
lie turned away, wit ha sigh.
'Tine tent, don't you think?" asked
the caavas tucker.
Rice looked back at It over hte shoul
der. with another deep sigh.
"It's yours," said the tent man.
Rice was like n playSul kitten In cn
instant.
"I believe there Is a let of money la
you yet," said the canvas man. "You
take that tent and start your show,
and If you ever get money enough to
pay nie for It the price is $2,500."
Within two weeks Rice was cn the
road with a show nnd begau a success

THE BABY'S LITTLE JOKE.
It Worried the Vttt Man. bnt tie Tried
to lujc)- It.
It happened in one cf the late trains.
Evorylioily was trying to get to sleep,
and when the voice of a baby was sud
denly lifted up ia n robust wail It was
not met with expressions of Jjy. It
cried steadily from Spring Gnrdon
street to (.'oluinbia avenue. Then It
accidentally dropped a pasteboard box
It had. A very stout and. like his kind,
very j; liable man across the aisle
stooped heavily aud picked It up.
The child stopped crying as it took
It and promptly dropped it again. The
man. thinking it an accident, picked
It up once more. This time the boby
actually smiled, and as he threw It
down audibly cooed with delight. The
man looked distinctly uncomfortable
and became Interested in something
outside the window. The child looked
at Hie box a moment, then at the man,
and, seeing nothing else, resumed his
wail, with mucli added wind. The
look of despair resettled on the face of
the woman with the headache, and she
gave a convulsive shudder as she felt
her head beginning to Jump.
She gave one awful glance at the
baby nud then leaned over to the stout
man, back of whom she was sitting.
"My dear sir," said she, "I have a vio
lent headache, and I am In misery.
Won't you please pick up that box
again V And with a highly artificial
smile he compiled. Out of pure cour
tesy be became a tox lifting autom

stoop come harder. But when he wip
ed the perspiration from his' brow and
staggered out of the car at German
town he got a grateful smile from the
afflicted woman, as well as every other
passenger, that he felt paid him.

Snow fr'lcn.
Oue of the strangest of all specks on
show is the snow Ilea no mimic flea,
but an actual living and very lively
midget, whose swarms sometimes cov
er the snow In patches as black as Ink
or ccuvert large spaces of its surface
to a dark, gray color. They are crea
tures of the thaw. I have seen patches,
says William Uamiltoa Gibson, two
feet In diameter moving like a dark
shadow across the meadow, and I re
meutlier ouce when u boy walking on
the snow crust over a field of several
acres that was everywhere peppered
with their millions.
The books tell us that the Insects live
in moss and lichens and the rocks and
bark of trees, from which they emerrje
for exercise In mild weather. This
theory Is probably warranted by the
facts, bat it wlTI be no easy task so to
convince many a rustic philosopher
whom I know and to whom these fleas
are as much a celestial shower as the
snow Itself. Boston Transcript.

THE JUDGE'S ADVICE.

A well known western representa
tive in cougress, pleading an engage
ment, left a small grosjp of talkers in
an up town hotel lobby, and an elderly
man, whom he had Introduced to the
party, made bold to tell a story about
the departed.
. "I have known him, he said, "ever
since he was a boy, and when he came
out of college he was undecided wheth
er to become a lawyer and politician or
go to a theological seminary and be
come a clergyman. He was fond of
politics and thought that with a little
law and more religion on the aide he
might become a great moral reformer,
i'ou know that's the way most all very
young men feel when fhey undertake
politics for the first time.
"However, before he had had time to
determine finally what be would do,
his friends came after him to run for
the legislature, as he .had the availa
bility and a pretty fair amount of cash.
This brought bim face to face with
the question be had. been 'much dis
turbed over, and he went to Judge
Blank,, a veteran in politics and a mail
of the highest character, for. assistance
in solving the problem. He stated his
case In full to the Judge, and the grand
old man put his harid on the young
man's shoulder.
" 'My boy,' be said, as only he could
say It, it can't be politics and religion.

fit yourself for heaven and for the leg

no use trying. That Is all I can say,
