The Tramp Question in Franklin.
Tho Commissioners of Franklin
county tro to imitate tho example of
the Cumberland county authorities
and put tho tramps with whom their
jail is miid to be thronged to work
at brenkine stones, says the J'hila,
Inquirer. When Cumberland coun
ty resorted to that policy the tramp
nuisance had attained the highest
point of development ever reached
thore. Petty offenses were committ
ed by a bhiftless, so that they might
be sent to jail for a brief term, and
were repeated almost as soon-as re
lease came. While in jail they lived
comparatively easy lives and ate and
drank at the taxpayers' expense. It
was not until they were made to
work hard from morning until night
tbat they began to regard Cumber
land ennnty as an updesirable place
of residence. ,
Franklin was one of the counties
into which they poured, apd there
they received the same considerate
treatment. Because they were va
grants, because they stole or delib
erately committed some act of ma
licious mischief or trespassed on for
bidden grounds, they were sentonc
ed to 11 term in the county jail and
fed upon substantial food. To ob
tain comfortable quarters in the
winter season is the tramp's highest
ambition. During the spring, sum
mer and even late in the fall he can
sloop in haylofts or on tho warm
earth, foraging upon hopitablo
kitchens or adjacent fields, and live
with Homo degree of comfort. But
when the winds aro freezing and the
ground is covered with ice and snow
a period in a good county jail is a
pleasing contemplation. He rarely
errs in selecting the jail, either. The
means of communication between
tramps are primativo but effective.
The experience of one of them is ev
er at the service of the others.
The people of Frdhklin county
will not be able to bring about a
thorough reform of the tramp ques
tion, for "once a tramp, always a
tramp" is a generally recognized
truth. But they will make tramps
scarce in their locality after the
wanderers discover that they aro
Expected to pay for their board in
solid work.
The commissioners of Snyder
county can make tramps scarco here
if they apply the same principle.

Sena! tire women hate to ask their
physician those delicate questions that
only woman understands, and there-
fore write to Mrs.
iinkbam, at kynn,
Mass., as the has
ever proved
their most ac
curate adviser,
and knowing
that their f XS T
letters will be read V" .
and answered by one
of their own sex. Thousands of such
letters have been received within a
few months from those afflicted with
the various forma of female diseases,
and it is needless to Bay the answers
have brought comfort and relief.
That sense of dragging in the groin,
dull pains in small of back, retention,
suppression of menses, bearing-down
pains, headache, nervousness, blues,
etc., are symptoms that require prompt
measures.
The cure is, in most esses, rapid.

letter of thanks :
"Please accept my thanks for the
little book which you have

my eyes, and told
me that there is a
remedy for suffer
ing women. There
is no need for'
women to suf
fer, if they will
only take Lydia
E. Pinkham's

fered for years
with painful
menstruation,
thinking there
was no remedy for
it; but after reading
your little pamphlet, I thought I
would give your medicine a trial, and
it is wonderful how quickly it relieved
me. I recommend it for all women
who suffer with painful menstruation."
