A man in Oakland, Me-, has invented
a tramp chair, the use and fame OF
which has cleared that town entirely
of the tramp nuisance. Two Of these
are now used in Augusta, for while
that city sheltered and fed 275 tramps
in January, '99, Oakland only had one,
no tramp who had heard OF the free
rides in the tramp chair Of that town
ever came that way again. In 1898 1t
cost the sixteen counties of Maine
S64, ,5Os for board of tramps in jails,
nearly one-third Of all their county
tax. The counties that have no Jails
have no tramps. The tramp chair is
comfortable rs long as one wishes moi
to change position. The door follows
the lines of the chair, and is locked,
and the Wandering Willie gets more
rest than he wants after couple OF
hours in it.
