TO RIDE UNDER A CAR
Beating the Railway is a Cheap but Heroic
Experience-"Tramp'' Printers, Theat-
rical Unfortunates and Others.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.-Congress has not
yet settled down to aroutine, and the inter-
esting company of men whose business it
is to put the days session into type so that
the Record may be on the members desks
the following day at noon, are not yet too
busy to sit around and tell stories, stories
upon greatly varied topics, but chiefly
stories about themselves.
Every printing Office has it's quota, how
ever small, of men who are, if not tramp
printers in the strict sense, at least men
VINO have sampled the experience of seeing
the country under more or less adventur-
Gus conditions.
The other day 1 got hold of a young fell
low in the government office, who, not
~withstanding his comparative youth, has
seen an amazing area of life. A fresh,
hearty looking character, he takes things
Tor granted that the average might feel
inclined to regard as highly exceptional.
But he has 'seen his see' and is ready to
settle down to the conventional life of the
national capital.

did knock about a good deal. 1 wanted to
do 1t and l did. l wanted to get a squint
at the country. But l wasn't rich and l
had to work my passage. You know how
the printers do 1t. They tackle an office
in one town and stick type until they raise
enough of dust to carry them to the next.
They carry their union card in their
pocket-that is their certificate of member
ship in the Printers Union-and save
themselves some trouble that way; for if
they are not uniGn printers they can't
stick a line in a union office, and that cuts
down their chances a good deal.
You see it is a pretty good plan. You
work a week or SO and then you knock
about a week or so. The worst of it is the
plan doesn't always work. You get
strapped. You blow in your money some
where between the money making points
and have to scratch gravel, as the boys say,
until you can make connections again.
Sometimes it is not so much of d thing to
make these connections again, but if you

some money by me. | wasn't always able
to do this. But | stuck it out pretty
well.
This last resort money 1 carried under
all my clothes, so that nothing could hap
pen to it without my knowledge. l will
never forget the first time that | felt that |
had to beat my way on a train. 1t was
away out in Kansas. The evening came on
and | hung around a station where a train
was due. There were two trains within q
short lime of each other. One was an eX-
press train that would not stop again for
forty minutes. The other was q way train
that would make frequent stoppages.
As an amateur l made up my
mind to tackle the way train.
