City Marshal Drake of Gardiner was
in the city recently. and, on being ques-
toned, had occasion to give some val
liable suggestions on the tramp stu
alton, which arose from ideas he go,
from the tramps themselves. In tht
South, they say. there is no show fci
the tramp-beggars and the like-ol
account of the great number of dog!
which abide at every dwelling. From
the gentleman of the land down to tht
poorest they all have dogs. Mr. Drake
suggests that premiums be awarda,
each year to the best educated bul
dogs. with specials for good breeding
good looks, and powers of discrimin2-
ton which the animals can be made to
show in picking out the just from tbs
unjust. regardless of the quality q
style of clothing. The license nigh
possibly be revoked on such dogs Nero
each household to have included in it:
membership from one to five able
bodied bull dogs, Mr.. Drake thinks
that the tramps would then either die
off in time or else migrate to the othei
side of the great pond.
