THE HOBO.

The professional tramp is never more
in his glory than when he comes upon
a comfortable country home where the
men folks are away. Here are no po-
lice within CALL no neighbors at hand
to modest. The hobo" is master of
the situation. He can bully and insult
the women and children to his hearts
content. He at once assumes the airs
of monarch. He makes himself Sc
renely at home. He orders forth the
fatted calf. He leers and jeers, and
slows away the best the house affords.
He is critical in his epicurean tastes
He toasts his feet before the fire. Per-
haps, at his departure he condescends
to bestow word of lofty appreciation
upon the quality of his entertainment,
or frightens the unwilling attendants
upon his generous appetite, with seeth-
ing words of objurgation and scorn.
Perhaps the man of the house is at
home and looks as if he could shoot.
In such case the tramp is more hum
BILE and unobtruSive. He is content to
sneak into the barn, and smoke his
pipe in meditative silence upon some

teeth refectively, and inquiries the To-

hostess steps to the door for a word OF

calls softly Just tell them that you

1t has been suggested that at least
methods should be taken to keep
careful record of you at the county
jails whose hospitality you enjoy, at
he expense of the taxpayers, who are
simply delighted to contribute their

tainment.
You should be photographed at every
county Jail you honor with your pres
nee, until at least your hobo" iden-
.ity is thoroughly established. You
,hould also be measured by the Ber-
lion system, and careful record of

lou show up at. In this way all the
ounties in the State would know ali
bout your career of vagrancy, and it
would soon be impossible for you to
,alm yourself off, on the officials at
least, as an honest man in search of
work.
