MNAIR, THE BOY TRAMP.
He Goes Over t1es Country withou.
Paying Fare.
From, the New York World.


From the New York World.
Frank c. McNair is bright American
boy who knows how to take care of himself.
When he is at home his postoffice address is
Nunda. N. Y, but ne is only there on rare
occasions. McNair, though of tender years,
has had lively experience, and has seen
more of this country than most young men
of his age. What makes the story of his
travels particularly interesting is that he
has journeyed thousands of miles on a cash
capital of very few dollars and deserves to
be handed down to posterity in yellow
covered novel as "The Boy Tramp"
Frank McNair is the son of a well-to-do
farmer. He received a good high school
education. He was ambitious, and his am
bltlon lay in the direction of travel. His
father did not agree with him, and would
not contribute the necessary cash to start
Frank on a sightseeing tour. The boy
solved the problem. He started out in the
spring of 1887 with tray of knives and
about $40. He worked his way as far west
as Omaha, and in the fall returned home.
1t was not until July, 1888, that his travels
really began.
He then, with another young man, began
a trip which carried him as far west as San
Francisco. and included this country as far
north as Tacoma, Wash; south as New
Mexico aud east as Portland, Me. Frank
had a stock of knives worth "a, and few
dollars for expenses. He stole ride on
freight train to Buffalo and on other trains
to Ashtabula. o. With hisoicompanion he
beat his way to Cleveland and thence to
Fort Wayne. During the summer the two
boys sold knives in Michigan.
In October McNair lost track of his friend
and alone started from Battle Greek, Mich,
with the resolve to reach California or
know the reason why, and in his own Ian
guage as he told a reporter, the facts are
given:
when 1 left Battle Creek had stock
of knives worth 81 and about SO in cash.

and so stole ride to Chicago. STAYED

A HAPPY EVENT.

The sociable at the Warner House last Wednesday evening was happy event happy in every respect. First, the giving of such sociable was one of Mrs. E. w. Warmers happy thoughts. Second, scores of people were made happy by attending the sociable. Third, the Rev. F. w. Barnett and family were surprised and made happy when $10O in hard cash, and the Christmas porker, the net profits of the sociable) were presented to them by Mrs. Warner. Finally, all who attended the soeiable, or contributed any funds, are made hap py by learning how much encourage ment, and substantial aid, they have giv- en an esteemed family.
 We hope we shall be pardoned if we mention how completely surprised and overcome, and how grateful MT. Barnett was when Mrs. Warner handed him the purse containing $1OO. He enquired what church bills he should pay with it, or what benevolent objects he should divide it amongst? When told it was not to be expended churchwise but was for the benefit of himself and family, grateful tears coursed down his cheeks and he said the money was Godsend to himself and family as their ex- penses the past year had been unusually and unavoidably heavy.
 Mrs. Warner deserves much credit for her forethought and generosity in giv- ing this sociable. She provided the elegant supper at her own expense and arranged her rooms to accommodate the large number of persons who attended. After supper the tables were removed from the dining room and soon a merry crowd of dancers were keeping step with the music of the fiddle-bow drawn by the veteran w. B. White, accompanied by w. H. Camp. In the parlors groups were enjoying social chat while others were playing whist. The table of use- ful and ornamental packages was we'll patronized and everyone felt they re- ceived an equivalent for their money. The hours were passed so pleasantly that midnight arrived before the guests were willing to depart.
