The Hobo and the Maine Disaster

The Hobo and the Maine Disaster
Charleston News and Courier: The
genuine thing in the shape of Il real
hobo has just made it's appearance in
Charleston. He may have been here
before, but it was in some other guise.
This chap is ragged, even unto his
face. His hair has been shaved, and
he walks or rather drags himself along
like a snake.
Saturday afternoon the hobo paid
his respects to the clerks around the
United States courts and explained
that he came to them because he once
served Uncle Sam. lie might have
served the government at Columbus,
O. The story the tramp told should
make him, with a few exceptions, the
king of the Charleston liars. He said
that he was q coal passer on the Maine,
and was on the ship when the great ex-
plosion tore the warship into flinders,
down in the harbor of Havana. OF
course the hobo was slightly injured.
His head was singed and one of his
legs was twisted into Il dozen shapes.
The bum said he was taken to KEY
West, and being tired of the navy de-
cided to escape. The story was told
with every effort to make it appear
straight, but it might MS well have
been told to a deaf man. The fellow
wanted TO raise enough money TO take
him to his old home in Maryland. II
want to surprise my wife," he said, "as
she thinks | went to the bottom of the
sea-" 1t will be Il sad day when Willie
reaches his wife. Its IL long walk to
Maryland, and the woman will escap
for a while at least.
