A TRAMP ON TRAMPS.

A TRAMP’S NARRATIVE AND HOW THE “COPY” WAS SECURED. |

The Story of a Vagabond’s Life—Hard

Lines that Became Second Nature to an Educated Man Who Liked Strong Drink —His Remedy for Tramps, i

He slipped in unannounced.

“Excuse me,” he said, falteringly, “but ' I want to see one of the writers on this paper—a man who was a schoolmate of | mine twenty-five years ago. I don’t re- | member his name, for whisky has taken | my memory.”

The man was a tramp—a little fellow with piercing black eyes, gray hair and unkempt beard. He stood quietly in the doorway as two or three names were sug- weste@ to him. At the mention of the fourth he stepped forward.

“That's it,” he exclaimed. he?”

When the little tramp learned that his boyhood companion was in another city, a prominent and prosperous citizen, he shook his head and put ont his hand. “Well,” he said, “I will humble myself at your feet—a stranger’s—and ask for a dime. And say,” he went on, “wouldn’t you like to buy the story of a tramp’s life? Tam an educated man and I can give you an article worth printing.”

He received little encouragement and he wentaway. At 4 o'clock in the afternoon the tramp had retarned with a manuscript that was ‘respectfully submitted.’’ The story follows:

Born to a good name, educated at a col- lege whose colors are famous on many an athletic field, I have been for the better part of a quarter of a century now a com- mon tramp.

Ihave been thoroughly identified with every phase of the haphazard, reckless vagabond life embraced by that term. I have spent seemingly interminable hours of bitter winter nights turning myself like a spitted chicken by a tie fire over against the railroad track. I have infested back doors in quest of fragments of cold vic- tuals. I have been the occasional patron of nickel lodging houses, sharing the wretched shelter they afford with thou- sands of nameless bedfellows. 1 have utilized the talent bestowed for nobler purposes to coax coin from the sympa- thetic with which to satisfy the insatiable appetite which has been my destruction. In fact, I have lived, and aceordia:g to all evident probabilities, shall die a thorough vagabond.

You have asked for a recital of some of my experiences. They have been so varied and extensive that it is difficult to make selection. Tramps, as a body, area divis- able quantity. There are the altogether vicious and irredeemably depraved, who inherited the vagabond instinct, born to prey upon society and entering upon the career as does a just hatched duck seek the nearest pond of water; but it is a great mistake to class all nomads with this un- bruited specimen.

It has become so generally known that tramps can and do traverse great distances by fast trains without surrender of any financial consideration to the corporations providing the rapid transit that when a single man finds himself unemployed and behind with his board bill, the suggestion is at hand that the continent is large and tne means of traversing it in search of betterment easily available.

And so he loads his already ruined for- tunes into the first convenient freight car and starts upon an aimless journey, often only terminating with the close of his life. Presently a stopping place is reached and the trainmen eject him at some lonesome wayside station. About this time the de- mands of hunger assert themselves, and since they will have no denial he timidly approaches the nearest house with a plea for food. As may well happen, the suk stantial fragment of a chicken or a quar- ter section of a porterhouse steak is hand- ed out, with perhaps some toothsome cake anda piece of delicious pie on the side. In many eases that preliminary experience settles the man’s future. At the best of times, when in employment, he is not re- galed with such fare as this, and so elects toenjoy it without any other physical ex- ertion than is involved by asking for it.

And then another recruiting agency of tramphood is promoted by the growing in- disposition of discriminating people to feed robust, ablebodied begyars. This has led to asystematic practice of deeoy- ing young children away from their homes with enticing promises of alluringly ad- venturous travel—eventuating only in compulsory begging and petty theft for the support of the kidnappers.

The more [draw upon my recollection the more it becomes enlarged. A ponder- ous volume would contain but a cursory fiagment of it.

Asthe Nineteenth Century approaches its close, I see much of encouragement be- hind and not a little before as tramps. Just solong as strikes and social discon- teut prevail the tramp will be in clover. The benevolent have no reliable means of discriminating between the industrious workingman, idle and destitute, and the professional vagrant.

A remedy for the tramp nuisance? A problem that has fruitlessly puzzled the nation’s greatest statesmen, is too tough a nut for me totackle. From the point of view of a tramp ! should say that at least a partial remedy might be achieved through concerted action of the railroads to seal all empty cars and to compel train- men to effectively patrol all trains at starting and stopping points.

Your professional tramp is distinctly op- posed to walking or any other form of physical exertion. I believe this action by the transportation companies would cen- tralize the nuisance in great centres of population where there is, or could be, created efficient machinery for its control.

It is, of course, useless and impractic- able to suggest the formation of a univer- sal league to withhold food or other ma- terial aid from all applicants, therefore, as the next best and reasonably possible thing I should say to apprehend all vagrauts everywhere, at whatever tem- porary cost, subject them to the hardest and most humiliating labor upon the most meager and uninviting dietetic regi- men consistent with health, and my be- | lief is that the nearest possible abatement of the tramp nuisance will be accomplished which is achievable this side of the mil- | lennium.

* RELIC OF A FORGOTTEN RACE.

The Fossilized Skeleton of a Man Found by Surveyors in California,

Down in San Luis, Obispo County, there

has been found a puzzle that has for weeks perple<ed the scientists of Standford Uni versity, a puzzle in the hardest of rock, 50 beaten and stained by the weather of ages as to bear all the brands and earm irks of a genuine fossil. It seemsto the uniniti-

ated to be acast in solid reck of a human skeleton, ascrangely treasured r-lic race that existed some hundreds or thou- sands of years ago. But there are dou! that is a scientist’s trump card; to doubt first, last and always, The find was made in February near the hamlet of Rcblan, 12 miles southeast of Paso Robles. Van R. Elliott, a surveyor, was helping W. F. Gillis, superintendent of the San Luis Obispo Orchard Company, to run some new lines over the big tract. As they sur- veyed they came upon a stretch of rocky ground from which the rain had washed the thin covering of soil. They saw some- thing that looked like a skeleton embedded in the rock, but on investigating more carefully found that the skeleton was part of the rock itself. The finders wrote to President Jordan about it, but as the uni versity had no funds available for the re- covery and identification of fossilized per- sons, the matter was dropped until a few weeks ago, when Dr. Jordan went to San Luis Obispo to attend a convention of teachers. His attention was again cailed to the matter, and he made a trip back into the hills to see the thing for himseli. He was so impressed with it that he deter- mined to have the curio cut out of the rock and removed to Palo Alto for study, Prof. J. P. Smith of the geological depart- ment of the university took charge, and with J. H. Means, a post-craduate student in geology, went to Roblana week ago, They found that removal was impossible with the time and the facilities at their command, and, so, as the next best thing, made a plaster cast ofthefossil. This cast is now on exhibition in the geological mu- seum at Stanford.

Prof. Smith was asked about the fossil and in reply gave these facts: ‘The fossil is in the condition of a cast or mold in hard rock, very much indurated and weathered Here and there are seen traces of bones as evidence that it was not carved by some practical joker. The specimen is 37 inches long i6 inches wide and consists of a back- bone and ribs, with what may be traces of the pelvis. The number of vertebrae and ribs cannot be accurately made out. The rocks in the vicinity contain numerous in- vertebrate marine shells, and are undoubt- edly of salt water origin, although they now lie 1,400 feet above sea level. Thus it is casily seen that the animal, whateyer it may have been, is older than the San Luis Obispo Mountains. The rocks are of the miocene tertiary age, known as the white shale or the Monterey series of Prof. Law- son.”’ Fossilized human remains have been found only as far back as queternary times. A skull was dug up from the pli- ocene tertiary lava beds of Calaveras County in 1886, but it has not been gener- ally accepted by geologists as authentic, It is also very doubtful as to whether the Calaveras lava is of the tertiary of quater- nary age. Several years ago a supposed fossil man was found in the miocene ter- tiary of France, but this was proved a fraud. Thus the occurrence of human re- mains in the middje tertiary ¢-ze is very doubtful, since the upper miocene, the pliocene and the whole of the quaternary periods have—elapsed between that time and this. It is impossible to measure this extent of time accurately in years or even in centuries but it must have been several hundred thousand years, since in that time has accumulated the greater part of the thick mass of sediment out of which the coast range has been formed. The fossil might possibiy be an anthropold ape, but this, too, is very unlikely, since, although this class of simiadaeean be traced as far back as the middle miocene, they were confined to the land. Then, too, in the same rocks with the supposed man are found other vertebrate, remains of por- poises or other cetaceans. The “man fos- sil’’ might be the young of one of these.— San Francisco Chronicle.

Curing Cross Eyes.

Strabismus or “cross eyes’’ are now safely and almost painlessly corrected. The desired result may be obtained by the wearing of proper spectacles in early youth, but if the eyil is not then corrected, an operation, later on, will be necessarr.

The removal of a “cataract” from the eye is one of the most delicate operations performed by the oculist. A cataract is formed by the lens of the eye becoming opaque so asto appear grayish or other- wise, when it shuts out the light from the optic nerve. The oculist of to-day cuts into the ball of the eye and removes the darkened lens, and the optician supplies the defect by artificial lenses that make good the sight.

The demand for glass eyes is increasing as the character and quality of the eyes improve. Unsightly eyeballs are now re moved in part, leaving enough of the mus cles to rotate the glass shell that is placed overthem. Where the work is properly done the possessor of the-glass eye can move it about with all the naturalness of & real optic, and in many cases it is very difficult to tell the manufactured article from the genuine.

All the wild stories about substituting rabbits’ eyes for human eyes, or the state- ments to the effect that oculists can take eyes from their sockets, wipe them on a coarse towel and restore them unimpaired to the happy patient, are all moonshine, and any one who is called upon to listen to any such tales is perfectly justified if, under such circumstances, he should wink the other eye.

Facts About the Forest King.

The tongue of a lion is so rough that a close look at it will almost take the skin off the looker. It is not safe to allow a lion to lick your hand, for if he licked the skin «ff and got a taste of the underlying blood, supposing it to be there, he would want the hand and everything adjoining thereto. Nothing more perfect in modern machinery exists than the mechanism by which a lion works his claws. He has five toes on each of his fore feet and four on each of his hind feet. Each toe hasa claw. Nothing about a lion is withcut reason, and the reason he has more toes and claws on his fore than on his hind feet is that he has more use for them. If this were not so the majority would be the other way. The lion is nocturnal by choice. He has no particular objection to daylight, but likes to spend it in the bosom of his family, or at least adjacent toit. It should not be supposed that be- cause he roams about at night he neglects his family. He roams in order to fill the family larder. He kills to eat, not for amusement. He never bothers small game so long as there is big game within reach. When feeling fit he can take an ox in his mouth and jump fences and ditches like a professional steeplechaser.—Wesi$ minster Budget.
