The secret language of the tramp is revealed
to us as follows by the Silver State;
| 1t Is a fact noticed by many of our citizens
that a tramp who alghts from his dangerous
seat on the brake beam of freight train, and
for the first time sets foot in the town, will
| pass by several houses in his search for grub,
and walk direct to a store or residence where
some of the fraternity who preceded him had
been kindly treated This has been done so
often that the opinion has prevailed that they
post each other on the road in regard to places
when there is a probability of their getting
something to eat. An exchange has discov-
cred that they have a written language, and
that the letter oh " on the gate-post means
that the residents will give the caller hand
full of grub "S" that he will get seat at
the table; IS NJ" that he will get square
meal; and &C B. that he will get the

will settle all difference in regard TO the
matter, slthoughit has never been rigidiy
enforced in elections Of this nature:
