One Airy Berth on Pullman Car.
Chicago Herald.

"Eeatlng ones way on the passenger
trans is not an easy thing to do on the
Pacific roads, ''said a traveller from the
West ''but during my last trip I saw a
most novel expedient employed by a
tramp. Early one morning, when we were
pretty well up in the mountains, got up
| and dressed and took a chair out on the
platform for a breath of fresh air. Pre-
sently the train stopped at water tank
and Jumped down to the ground to
stretch my legs a moment. AS L walked
up ahead [ was surprised to hear a snore.
Can 1t be possible [ thought, that there
Is anybody who can snore loud enough to
be heard through the double floor of a
sleeping car?' The snoring seemed to
come from under the coach, and so I re-
solved on closer look. Bending down
L glanced under the body of the car, and
saw there scene which struck me as being
about the oldest I had ever witnessed.
In hammock, which he had evidently
stolen from some door yard in California,
lay tramp, sleeping soundly and snor-
ing noisiy. The hammock was swung
under the car, close to the floor, and one
leg of its occupant hung out and trailed
rather close to the ground. In that queer
bed his trampship had been riding all
night without ticket or berth check, and
with no fear of being compelled to join
III S2-all round for the benefit of the
porter at the end of his journey.
He rode some fifty miles further be-
fore he was discovered and bounced, and
then strobe off in search of food and to
await until night before resuming his
Journey under another palace car"
The authorities of Nelige, NeD., have
imposed a special tax on every business
man in town in order to pay for public
improvements.

A Remarkable Boy FOroer,

James Barber 16 years old who lives on
the top floor Of the orphans court bull
ding is in prison on the charge of laaceny
and forgery says The Philadelphia Times
Detectives Miller and Sharkey on Satur-
day arrested him in Mount Moriah Gem
etery for stealing a warrent for S1,75O
belonging to Judge William n. Ashman
and forging the name of the Judge and
that of City Treasurer Bell in an attempt
to have it cashed The warrant represen-
ted the Judges salary for three months
and was delivered by letter-carrier at
the court building on Wednesday morning
last 1t having been sent by mail from the
auditor generals Office at Harrisburg
The lad either took it from the mail box
or from a table in the judges room. He
then wrote letter to City Treasurer Bell
saying:
Please give me check for this warrant
and send by bearer. Yours,
W. n. AsHMAN.
Young Barber took the warrent and
forged note to Mr.. Bell. The warrant
YVES not Endorsed and the lad was told
to take it to the Judge and have him sign
his uame on the back. The hopeful
fo1ger left but insted of going to Judge
Asnman he stopped at a place in the
vitinity and placed in the vicinity and
pl,ced the judicial signature to the back
of the paper. He again visited the city
treasurer who upon carefully examining
the warrant discovered that the amount
written $1,7O0 in the body of the warrant
while the figures were $50. The lad was
gain directed to return with tbs warrent
to judge Ashman and letter written by
the city treasurer calling attention to
the mistake in the warrant was also
sent. When safe place war reached
the redoubtable youngster destroyed
Mr. Bells note and composer one of his
own. l. said Please send up your bill
something's wrong in your account
When the note was delivered to Judge
Astman he was puzzled and said that he
would call at the city treasury. When
he called there the judge and the city
treasurer soon learned the true state
of affairs. The detectives were immed-
lately employed to catch the thief and
forter. Later in the evening the lad
seeing that he was baff1ed sent the warrent
to Judge Ashman in company with letter
slg1ed Jimmy So So When arrested he
made a consfssion and also acknowledged
that he had robbed a number of desks
IN the court building and stole Judge
Penrose's overcOat last winter.
