The One Legged Tramp.

A funny story Is told about n freighs
brakeman running out of Kern City. One
evening he started to clear the tramps of
the cars soon after leaving the station,
and ia so doing found one legged man
stealing n ride. Taking pity on him, the
brakey told him to go back to an empty
refrigerator car, lift the latch and crawl
in, where he would be safe from observa-
ton.
After awhile brakey came back and
found the one legged man near where he
had left him. He again told him about
the refrigerator car and again went about
his business. For the third time this was
repeated, and then, at the fourth, the
brakeman, supposing the crippled tramp
did not know what refrigerator car was,
said, "Come along, and I'll show you
where it is"
When he reached the car, he lifted the
hatch, and swinging his lantern down in
side he was just about paralyZed TO see
no less than three one legged men already
comfortably ensconced therein, while the
fourth was ready to join them. Bakers
