Getting a Drink.

Il was up in Dakota myself" remarked q
passenger, land l saw how easily some of
these tramps make "a living, for 1 suppose
they call it living when they get drink of
whisky and something to eat thrown in. The
tramps were thick and had been for some
time. They would hang around small town
and bother the people almost to death. 1t is
really dangerous to have so many of these
vagabonds about. But they won't work
they tell me, and the result is that it is pretty
difficult to get rid of them.
up in a little town-the name I can't
recall happened to be waiting from one
train until another. There was nothing to do
so L went into a saloon to get some beer
While there drinking three of these tramps
came in and ordered three drinks of whisky
Have you got any stuff?' said the saloon
keeper.
Course, replied one of the thirsty trio,
ives playing the ''crow'' act, we is
Where? asked the man behind the bar.
1.-THE spokesman named the farm at which
he was employed showed an order. and the
three men got their drinks and departed.
When they went out asked what was meant
by the crow act, when he told me that some
OF the farmers got the tramps to take the
part of scarecrow in the wheat fields and
keep the birds away. The tramps took turns,
ne said, in standing up on a platform high
above the wheat and occasionally would
throw rock at a flock OF birds. As there
was no work about it the tramps took to it.
Lit paid them very little, usually two or three
drinks and bite to eat but even this they
considered living, as long as they did not have
to work for it,

Travelling Uppers,

Everybody is under the belief that a
lower berth in a sleeping car is the only thing
to have" said an experienced traveller, land
that an upper berth is not worth taking. The
rush is always for a lower berth, and much
dissatisfaction is expressed if an upper one
has to be taken. The majority of travellers
only take an upper one because they think
it better than taking seat in an ordinary
coach.
sit is all right, suppose, and is no doubt
more convenient to get into and to get out of,
but for downright comfort the upper berth is
the best the year round. For instance on a
real hot night everybody knows that lower
berth is a very hot place. There is no chance
for the air to circulate and it is a clear case
of melt. Ii you open the window the wind
comes in and blows right on your head and
shoulders, and the result is that you have a
cold or stiff neck in the morning. The air has
a chance in the upper berth and the occu-
pant of the elevated sleeping station has as
good air as there is going and as much of it
as during the day time. 1t is not cut OFT.
The upper berth is q great deal cooler.
I'm the winter time the lower berth is cold,
and never can be anything else, while the
upper berth is nice and warm. The hot air
in the car always goes up. and so the people
in the upper berth are warm while those in the
lower berth are suffering from cold. In real
warm weather and il. real cold weather the
upper berth is the most desirable

NJ king Hin rEinnnn

'Pittsburg is queer place, isn't it?'' said
man in the union depot TO a companion who
stood beside him.
II don't know much aboutiit, REMARKED the
party addressed. II never was there but
once, and so cannot speak of it. In what re-
spect is it queer?'
'Well, there seems to be no settled stand
ard Of time in Pittsburg So man, when in
VIted to attend a dinner party at certain
hour, don't know when to CO. as there are two
standards of time, and they are just one hour
apart. 1t is confusing to q fellow, and he re-
quires good deal of experience to put him
straight with himself and the world.
For instance, on the Pennsylvania Central
road the New York time is the standard. On
the Pittsburg & Fort Wayne road the Chicago
time is the standard, and they are just about
one hour apart. The train on the Pennsyl-
vania Central arrives in Pittsburg from the
East at o'clock in the evening The Pitts
burg & Fort Wayne leaves for Chicago at a
few minutes after o'clock in the after
noon, and yet the two trains con-
meet, and passengers who arrive at the
union depot at 6 o'clock get onto train
that pulls out little after o'clock. In
other words in about second an hour is
gained.
at makes it bad there if you want to go
and call on young lady and have every rea-
son to believe that the household law requires
that every gentlemen caller shall take his de-
parture at 10 o'clock If the house goes on
New York time and your watch is running on
Chicago time, you get up and go at O'Clock.
l don't like town where they can wiring in
on a newcomer so many different standards
of time, as he never knows what one is in
use, and never knows what new one they will
spring on him before he gets out. Pittsburg
is queer place.

THE TRAVELLERS CLUB.

s'Tramps are simply awful up in Dakota
said a travelling man on the Northern Pacific
east-bou nd train. ''They swarm around the
little places and actually terrorize the whole
community 1t is nothing up there to see
two or three hundred Of them at some small
settlement. They pretent to be harvest hands,
but make no effort to get work, although there
is great demand for farm hands on nearly
all the farms in that country.
up at Casselton, where had occasion to
stop the other day, saw no less than four
hundred of these tramps congregated abou
the depot. I never saw worse lot of men
outside Of penitentiary. At first thought
the inmates of Jail were out on a lark.
L noticed several of them preparing to crawl
under the cars and steal ride to the next
station. I was interested and watched them
climb up on the truck or brake rods under
the coaches.
while SO engaged the station agent came
up to me and asked me not to notice them,
explaining that if I continued to watch them
they might get off, and he was very anx
1ous TO get them out of town. He
said that my eagerness to watch them
would also attract the attention of the train
men, and if the latter attempted to put them
OH there would be serious trouble. Of course
paid no more attention to the departing
tramps. could not resist the temptation of
looking under the cars as the train pulled out.
L noticed no less than ten or twelve men on
the trucks"

THE BELFAST PICNIC.

Belfast continues to have a Fourth of
July time of it. Rioting is the fashion and
blood-spilling the favorite amusement. The
;acredness of the Sabbath day is no check
10 the fervid enthusiasm of blood-thirsty
religion, and all day yesterday the carnival
IF death and pillage' went on. The scenes
occurring in Belfast from day to day are
lot calculated to aid the cause of Christian
.ty. 1t is a singular anamoly that murder
and rapine should result from a religious
system which teaches peace Oh earth and
good will among men. At the same time
It is not fair to charge these crimes
TO Christianity. AS political crimes are
often committed in the name of liberty, so
It sometimes happens that the grossest
forms of immortality are perpetrated in the
name of religion. The revengeful spirit
which has been manifested between relig-
Gus sects in Ireland is due to the influence
IF that teaching which substitutes bigotry
tor religion. If the Irish people would
lgree to bury forever the memories of the
BOyne and to unite in support of Ireland's
redemption from British oppression it
would be better for them and better for
civilization.

something to which suffering humanity,
particularly that portion of it living in the

mad amateurs, to whom music worthy the

formances, but that is too frequently the
case. There is no music more soothing.
charming or harmonious than can be evoked
from piano by one who is a master of that
instrument. but these are generally sadly in
the minority. If the invention by the Min

hundreds of present sufferers will hold her
name in grateful remembrance. It is to be
hoped success awaits her.
