While trainrnen are Of one mind in re-
gard to the annoyance which tramps
cause the railroad companies they dis
agree about the methods of these indi-
viduals in doing the country In
spite OF the strict rule Of all railroads
prohibiting tramps, these professional
travellers get over the road somehow or
other with astonishing rapidity. They
have been known to come from San Fran
cisco to New York in but trife longer
time than it took Mr.. Mackey on his
record breaking trip. It Is BY no means
certain that one Of these noinads didn't
accompany Mr.. Mackey part Of the way
across the continent on the fast mail
train. Tramps are partial to mail
trains The trucks are roomier than
those Of the ordinary coach or freight
car Whatever doubt there was about
Mr.. Mackey's beating the record there
certainly wasn't any doubt that Mr.
Tramp beat the railroad company.
There are tramps and tramps. Many
poor fellow who has spent his last cent
and is out at the elbows wants to try his
luck in another part of the country, but
he has no means Of getting there except
his heels. These will not carry him far
without hunger staring him in the face.
He sinks about some freightyard, and
when train is pulling out begs train
man'to carry him along bit. He adj
mits that he is a tramp, but he isn't; he's
.beggar and tenderfoot There are
others, who have just got their hand in,
travelling from town to town, and when
! trainman catches them slowed away
| in box car they whine piteously and
recount their sufferings or those of a
sick family miles away which they are
anxious to get to.
HOW REAL TRAMPs ACT.
These are no tramps," said a brake
man. There is nothing interesting
about them and they are a nuisance.
The professional tramp is character,
