"Now. then, I want this old hobo
locked tipl" exclaimed tho conductor of
a Yellow Line freight train ns It rolled
Into tiie station of Clytner. He ap
proached a policeman on tho platform,
dragging behind him a typical speci
men of tho railroad tramp.
"What's the row?" queried the officer.
"Reatlng my train He was put off
at Round Top, at Owosso and at Delhi,
but ho somehow managed to get on
again each time. Give him nt least n
night in the coop."
"Gentlemen, let me tell you bow it
Is," Rnid the hobo as ho removed his
old cap and bowed to both. "You see"—
"Come on, Willie," interrupted tho
officer, as he reached for tho man's
collar
It was only two blocks over to the
police station, and when the officer
had arrived with his prisoner he turned
him over to tho sergeant with tho brief
remark.
"Here's another of them fellers."
The sergeant wns alone, and ho made
no move to lock the hobo up. On tho
contrary, he looked him over an ho
smoked his pipe, nnd at the end of five
minutes be asked:
"Why don't you quit it?"
"Goln' to."
"When?"
"As soon as I'm under ground, which j
will probably be within two weeks."
"Come up here to the desk. Ray, you
do seem to be played out. What's the
matter?"
"It's this, sergeant." replied the hobo
as he was seized with a fit of coughing
that left blood on his lips.
"Consumption?"
"Yep."
"You'll find a bit of lunch there in
my basket. Help yourself and then
tell mo all about it."
The hobo had little appetite lie np
penreil to eat more to show his appre

went drifting It's easy to drop from
drifting into tramping. I cut loose
from the world four years ago, and
I've been on the tramp ever since.
Hadn't looked into a newspaper for
two years until tho other day. Our
profession don't hanker after news and
politics."
"And what did you find in the paper
tho other day?"
"That the governor was dead and
mother a widow. The article also had
something to say about a son who dis
appeared several years ago and was
supposed to be dead."
"Yes r
"That was me, of course, i'es, I've
been dead to the world. There's been
weeks and weeks when 1 haven't given
a thought to what I used to bo nor to
those I left behind. Rut for the news
paper I'd have livinl rny few days out
and been burled like a dog."
"And now?" slowly asked the ser
geant.
"Well, old man, I ought to be
ashamed to own it, but that article
struck me all In a heap—took tho grit
out of me, ns It were. 1 felt a longing
togo back home to see mother again—
to be buried alongside my kindred. I
fought the feeling for a week, but it
was no go. I cursed myself for a
namby pnmby, but I got up and head
ed for Syracuse. Tho boys gave me
the grand guy, but I couldn't turn
back. I knew my days were numbered,
and there was a feeling about being
chucked into a potter's field that gave
me the shivers."
"And you wero beating your way
home?"
"Yes. It's a misdemeanor under
the law to steal a ride on a train, pns
senger or freight, but I was taking
chances. Doesn't seem such an awful
thing to stow away on the roof of ar.
empty freight car when you don't
weigh over u hundred pounds, but the
majesty of the law must be respected,
you know. If I'd got through to
Syracuse It might have busted up the
railroad. At least you'd have thought
so to hear the conductor goon "
"Did he slam you?"
"Oh, of course. He's a new man on
the road, and of course he wanted to
show how zealous lie was. Yes, bu
stood me up and gave me the boot and
then handed me over to the cop. How
many r,a, s will I get?"
"Not one! I'd like to kick that con
ductor lor the rest of the week."
"You don't mean, sergeant—you
don't mean that you sympathize with
an old hobo, do you?" asked tho mnu
as a lump rose up in his throat.
"1 ain't saying that 1 do, hut fair in
fail if you were a well man I'd lock
you up and get you a sentence of
thirty day-, but I'm not jumping on
dying men. You stretch out on the
■ seat and sleep for a collide of hours.
When No. 1 freight comes along I'll j
go over with you and see about getting
you onto Syracuse."
"Sergeant, If you'll do that for me - )
If you'll"—
"< 'lit it off!"
The hobo was asleep in live minutes. !
Police business was slack, and after J
awhile the sergeant arose and paced j
' back and forth. When his steps car
-1 rleil him near the man on the bench he
' noticed how hollow eyed he was, the
' high cheek hones, the hectic flush and
• the gasping for breath, and he turned
away and g. iwled:
"Only an old hobo, but I'll tie banged

"Thanks from the bottom of my

"Oh, forgot ltr
When the train pulled out the hobo
was curled up In a corner and fant
asleep. He was hoping to woo thut
dreuin back again.
"Going down to Syracuse to see his
mother and then die," explained tbe
conductor to his two brakesmen as
they looked at the stranger with some |
curiosity.
Five hours later the engineer wills j

Tho man did not move.

Of Colonel John ('. Hayes, who
served with distinction under General
Winlield Scott in the Mexican war, an
amusing story is told by T. E. Parish
In Ids "Cold Hunters of California."
Hayes, with Ins command, had been
out scouting. On his return he made
no report to General Scott, who sent
for him. General Scott was a verita
! hie martinet in enforcing military dis
ci|>iille After Hayes was seated In the
commander's headquarters Scott said,
"Colonel Hayes, 1 have received no re
port of your expedition against the
padre." "1 did not think it worth
while," said Hayes, "livery oilieer of
the army Is required to make a full re
port of everything to his superior oili
eer. I'leate make your report verbal
ly."
Hayes began by saying that he struck
the padre's trail on a certain day, fol
lowed it for two days, and on the third
day, while his command was resting at
noon and taking their siesta, the old
padre came down on them. The "boys"
gathered themselves together and whip
ped the Mexicans oIT, killing quite a
number of the padre's command. Ills
own loss was Insignificant one killed
and three wounded. "Surprised you,
j eh?" queried Scott. "Yes; we were not
i expecting him." "Where were your
I pickets?" "Hid not have any."
"What!" shouted General Scott. "A
! colonel in the regular army of the
| I'nited States go into camp in the
| heart of the enemy's country and nev
ler place a picket on guard? What
j would you do If surprised when

THE PUZZLE TANKARD.
It WON II Feature of the Seventeenth
Century Tavern.
•'This Is n puzzle tankard," said the
i antiquary. "Try it."
The tankard, of peculiar shape, with '
wlil little spouts protruding from it in j
I unexpected [daces, was made of blue
i glazed ware, and on It was Scratched
, the stanza:
From Mother Knrth
I claim my birth;

The old man filled the vessel with
fair water, and the youth tried to drink
from it He could not, though, succeed, j
To whatever sp mt he put his lips the
water refused to How from that open
ing, flowing from half a dozen other ;
ones Instead all over his face and neck.
"That's en nigh for me," he said.
"This puzzle tankard," said the nntl
quary, "dates back to the seventeenth
century. Kvery tavern had one In those
days. The landlord would fill It with
rtle or sack or beer, and if you could
empty It down your throat you got
your drink for nothing. Otherwise you
must fi:iiid treat Many a seventeenth
century laugh these puzzle tankards
must have caused.
"It was. you know, quite Impossible,

STAGE REALISM.
Why JIPC JFFTI'rNoii Itldn't IIIIVM n
Ileal I.'IIK Schneider.
It was the privilege of the writer
years ago to attend a reception at
which Joseph Jefferson spoke on tho
drama. His treatment of tho subject
was interesting, the utterance of a
man who knew the art of which he
spoke. I;tit the most Interesting part
oft' • hour i ante after the completion
of the formal address, when au oppor
tunity was given to the audience to
ask any questions they wished of Mr.
JelTei >n. Soon the familiar topic was
introduced, the effect of the modern
elaboration and realism in stage set
ting. Mr. Jefferson at once rose to the
question. He spoke somewhat rapidly,
with a quaint humor and sympathetic
charm that were irresistible. He char
acterized the modern fashion of stage
setting as "a tribute to the weakness
of the human Imagination." "1 am of
ten asked," he went on, "why I do not
have a real d<>u Schneider. But If I did
none of you would be satisfied. You
would go home saying, Well, Schnei
der never looked like that dog!' You
love Schneider because you have made
him out of a piece of your own heart.
And then," meditatively, "if 1 had a
real Schneider some one In the gallery
would probably whistle to him at tho
critical moment, and he would bark
and spoil ?h • play While If he knew
his part perfeetly and did Just what
Schneider ought to do"—pausing and
with his delightful smile—"Schneider
would be the hero and not Kip!" Then,
with a twinkle of the eye, he summed
up the whole matter with the quiet re
mark, "Itcallsrn with a tall to wag In
the wrong [dace is a dangerous thing."

BAR HARBOR.
The l-litrly Ilnyn of TIHN NOW l iimiiiis
Malm* Summer IteNort.
In Mount iKisert and Its neigh
borhood were granted by the French to
, a man named Cadillac. When Acadia
: was finally as a result of that long war
I rellnquishci. to Kngland It was given to
Governor Bernard, but as this gentle
man when the Revolution broke out
i was loyal to King George the estate
was confiscated. Meanwhile M. Bar
tholomew Gregoire and his wife, Maria
Theresa, who was the granddaughter
of the original grantee, revived the
claim of Cadillac, and it was allowed.
For years the Island remained a soli
tary place, with long stretches of un
broken forests into whose labyrinths
no stranger dared venture without a
guide, its land uncleared, Its future un
j dreamed of, but artists, weary of the
commonplace, found out the spot an 1
bore to dwellers In towns glimpses of
Its wild charms, and now and then a
world worn, brain spent man would
steal away to seek the Island's solitude
and stimulus. These seekers for beau
ty or health would carry their own
camp outfit or later would patronize
the hotels.
The first summer cottage there was
built on a site that was bought for
s.'{ixi. When fashion had put her stamp
of approval upon the place land that
would not have brought a dime an acre
during the time of the Gregolres was
sold at from to upward of
an acre. Four Track News.
(•rfnilfnu InrenNe In C'hfmi.
A missionary traveling down the I.an
river In Mongolia says he passed thir
ty-one rapids in one day. At most of
them were water mills for the grind
ing of aromatic trees Into powder to
make incense. The trees are chopped
into small pieces and thrown Into a
hole in a heavy millstone, which re
volves on a larger stone as the water
rushes through below. In the rainy
season, when the river flows full an 1
fast, a pair of mills can grind 200 cat
ties (2<i<l pounds) of incense a day. It
is made tip Into bundles of this weight
and sold on the spot for fifty strings
of cash (about $0).
