But the interest in "Jack" is not only
due to his peculiar mode of travel, but
also to the fact that his life i'll fits a man
of his characteristics. During the re-
cent campaign he attracted consider
able attention as q stump speaker and
by his ready wit he has gained friend
in almost every town he has visited.
Added to his natural propensities for
entertaining are his wide experience
and no inconsiderable education, which
readily command the attention of any
who chance to speak to him.
Neither working nor begging, he pro
cures his meals and shelter by dint of
clever invention and repartee. He has
taste for music, and, curious as 1t may
seem, is fond of playing hymns on the
piano, during which performance he
wears a sad and lofty expression. His
past life is a mystery, and in speaking
Of himself he refers only to his years of
travel.
His conversation is peculiarly devoid
of slang and rough language, he neither
drinks nor uses tobacco, and lives al
together along lines of extreme decency.
He finds his natural associates in no
way congenial and seeks companions
among better class. He says he is too
strong to work." but is not too proud
to admit his proclivity for working
other people.
Jack" studied in Chicago at the Rush
Medical college, intending to make med
icine his profession, but he prefers his
rowing life and declares he is "the hap
piest hobo in the world"

Getting His Measure.

A little Pittsburgh girl was taken one
Sunday morning to church, where cler-
gyman noted for his long sermons was
to preach. The small maiden sat be-
tween her two uncles, and as the minis
ter rose to announce his text, she whis-
pered, in shrill voice, quite audible for
some distances:
"Time him, Uncle Tom! Time him,
Uncle Will"
The two uncles, thus appealed to,
pulled out their watches, and the solem-
nifty of the occasion was sadly marred
for the worshipers in the neighboring
pews. = Pittsburgh Chronicle-Tele-

while Frank was taking his two-minute
