TOO FRESH o THE ARMY.
4 fresh young man from town, who had
climbed on to the train. began making funny
cracks at the crowd, when he was called
down by a member Of the army. who said:
Is careful what you say, young man, for
We get the blame for everything that does
not exactly suit Young freshly was not
disposed 20 be advised by any u the gang
and made an answer thot resulted in his
being removed from the train. The
tourists live up to their rules to the letter,
and they are all very fond Of General Kelly.
"lt 1t wasn't for General Kelly" said one
OF the men, we couldn't get along at all.
They tried to keep him in jail at Oakland
and get us To leave without him, but 1t was
no 70. Tho boys refused TO bulge until our
little general was produced. He gets along
with every one. and does not hesitate to
crack A joke with ono of the men at any
hour OF the day or night
Eyes, we are all going to Washington, -
said Connurs, a plumber. who has made
California his home for the last ten years.

men to take up our cause and at once
create soma employment for the idle. None

ENCOURAGEMENT FROM
A little Scotchman was standing by and
described how women had received them
along the line. The ladies" he said, have
been n great solaCe to the boys at different
towns we have passed through. OF course
our rules are very strict and we can say
absolutely nothing except that which Is
correct, but we have been joked a great deal
by the ladies'. All the stories about any of
these men deserving their wives and families
for the novelty of joining this company of
unemployed is false. 1t is true that a great
many of the company are married men, but
they are on this train for no other reason
than the hope of being able to better their
condition. The kind words of encouragement
which we have received from ladies along
the route have stimulated the men to hope
for the best and all are confident that when
we are through with the authorities in
Washington something will be done to better
our condition"
'oTbere will be an army of women follow
This train very shortly" said the fellow,
nand in that army will be the wives of
sevoroi of tho men who are here today.
