about which the halo Of romance had

The Tramp

The tramp fell asleep the other
morning on the sunny side of the
hotel after a busy night of Office
work. AS he slept he dreamed.
He thought the last dose he got
killed him and he went to heaven.
AS he approached the pearly gates
he heard a peculiar noise, as he
thought, of little angels wings
Tapping as they flew in joyful uni~
son through the golden streets of
the new Jerusalem. While he was
listening with exquisite pleasure
and ethereal delight Jack Hyde's
dog licked him on the face and he
awoke only to hear the clatter of
d typewriter under the m~anipula-
ton of the nlmble fingers of an
angel in human dress. His cha
grin Vas such that it took three
successive candidates to reduce
himself to his normal condition,
Talk about your good times, but
the tramp could give some people
pointers on how to have them.
First, select a good-hearted. lively,
jovial married man. Have him
send away to visit her folks in the
east, and leave him cock of the
roost. Introduce HIM to a few
hearty friends and await results.
The tramp tried 1t, and the fun
was so swift and fast that he had
to lie down and rest long before
his usual bed time. He awoke,
calling, Jim Jim! Where are
are you? Say, it is all right.

Attorney General Haskell has
given the following instruction for
the guidance of naturalized citizens
and registry agents.
"The law provides that at each
general election the naturalized
citizen must present his papers
and have them stamped by the
agent before he can be registered.
1t does not make any difference
how many times previously he may
have had them stamped he must Go
the same thing at each general
election. If he has lost his papers
he can get a certified copy, and if
he has lost his certified copy, he
can make affidavit to the fact. But
he cannot make this affidavit more
than once. The laws are so liberal
in regard to the n~aturalized citizens,
that a man can send anywhere in
the united States and get a certi-
fled copy of his citizenship papers"

Human Pedigrees..


The effect of pedigree is a great puz-
zle, because careful attention to it seems
to refine one families without in the
least refining other-a dozen castles in
India are equally old and careful Of
descent, yet only the Brahmins and
Kshetreyas are clearly aristocrats-but
If there is any truth in heredity the
descendants of the reigning houses,
once compelled to exert themselves,
should be men and women of special
force. Those houses have kept at the
top of the world for nearly a thousand
years.
The objection that they have inter
married too much, even if it is true,
which is doubtful, except where some
faint has entered the blood, would dis
appear in two generations of plebeian
marriages and the consciousness of an
cestry does not of necessity weaken
character. We doubt if the popes have
as a body been ADLER men than the

the picked men of a priesthood count
ing thousands and have had as many
opportunities of action and of display
ing themselves as any line of kings

Good win.
Jasper Ramey, one Of the m%oonshin-
ers now in Jail here, walked twenty
miles to give himself up to the rev
enue officers, says the Louisville Cou-
rier-Journal. This is not uncommon in
the mountain counties. A number of the
deputies who make periodical visits to
the counties of Pike, Knott, Magofin,
ETC., have little trouble in arresting the
men they are after, while other officers
have to fight for their lives.
1t is told Of one of the deputy mar
shals that whenever he wants a man
he simply writes a letter to him inform
Ing him that an Indictment has been
returned against him and that he
wants to met him on a certain day
at a neighboring town. Some Of the
letters wind up like this: Il also have
warrants for several of the other boys
fQnaming them), and I wish you would
see them and tell them that l will be in
- on - and for them to be there"
It is said that many of the men make
their appearance at the place and time
designated.
Several deputy marshals who go to
the top of the. Cumberland for prison
ers occasionally let the men "tend their
crops" while they are under arrest. The
the man and says:
"Tom, I've a warrant for your ar
rest"
"All right; I've been 'spectin' it,
Il know you've a big crop, though,
n as court don't meet before Octo-
Der, you can tend your crop and come
up to Louisville just before court
opens"
Then the man would return to his
work and at the appointed time he
would be in this city ready to answer
to the charge against him when his
case was called.
Several months ago one of the old
est of the deputy United States mar
shals in Kentucky walked up to the
door Of the county Jail and asked for the
jailer. He was introduced to Mr.. Watts
and said:
II have three sinners that I brought
from Magoffin county. As we came on
the train I left my 'mitimuses' in my
saddle bags and when we came out of
the coach I forgot my saddle bags. I
want to know if you will let me put up
these prisoners in Jail here without the
papers? I will get the 'mitimuses' in
q few days and it will be all right and
proper"
Jailer Watts told the nah he would
accommodate him because of his bad
luck. But where are the p%risoners?"
said the jailer.
ooh, them! Well, they're out in town
some place. We came in yesterday and
/ told them they might knock about
the city until I arranged it with you
for them to go in here. I'll go and look
them up and bring them in"
In about an hour he returned with
three typical m~ountaineers, who said
they had enjoyed looking at the sights
of the city very much. They had never
been in Louisville before and thought it
a great eat to be able to ""ride thar
