in the cells, in every vacant spot of the
grim station houses where the body of
a man may be wedged he would see the
FORMS of hundreds and hundreds of
homeless wanderers sleeping the
tabled sleep of the innocent, but dream
ing the dreams Of the earthly damned
In these police stations shelter for
the night may always be found. The
floors are hard and the lodgings are
crowded, but 1t is warm, and it means
life for another day-anOther day of
grace in which TO beg to steal, TO exist,
And there the worst outcast of them
all Is admitted without money and
without price. There are five of these
stations where the tramps are permit
ted to sleep. The Harrison station,
which Is the principal one, will accom-
modate about 200, and the others-the
East Chicago avenue, the West Chicago
avenue, the Desplaines street and the
Maxwell street stations-can provide
for about $50 each. All who apply for
lodgings are practically treated alike,
but now and then man comes in who
shows either by his manner or his dress
that he does not belong to the order of
tramps. He may be some working
man who has come here from other
cities looking for work, becomes
stranded and is obliged to seek assist
ance, or there may be some other cause
that has temporarily left him without
money or friends. In such cases the

men who have run across some tender
hearted though misguided philanthro-
pist, known in the vernacular as an
''angel," who has produced the neces-
sary funds to warrant this extravagant
expenditure. The rank and file rest
content with much less pretentiOus
lodgings. There are Easements where
a nights lodging may be had on the
floor on a bundle of straw for five cents.
There are cheaper lodging-houses
than these, however. They should be
called pesthouses of torture. For three
cents a tramp may obtain permission
to a horrible den where there is neither
bed nor floor space. They call it "hang-
ing on the line" and literally the
dodgers are hung up like an old coat.
There are tiers of long narrow planks
arranged like benches lengthwise in
the room. Two of these are placed side
by side and about two feet above them,
in the center, is stretched taut thick
rope. The lodger sits on the bench and
leans against the rope and sleeps, if he
can.
One would naturally suppose that
among an unfortunate body of men
like these world-forsaken, worldde-
spiSed vagrants there would exist some
sort of an honor--if you may call it
that-somet thing after the proverbial
honor among thieves" but, us a mat
ter of fact, the word has not been writ
ten in the tramp lexicon. A tramp
sleeps on his coat aud his shoes in the
lodging house that they may not be
stolen by the tramp next to him.
This is the way the. tramps live in
the winter time. When it comes spring
the lodging question is easily settled.
A vacant barn or shed, a hallway or
even a barrel in u back alley answers
his purpose as we'll as the daintily-
perfumed boudoir of the fair sociolo-

is lodging in the winter and beer in all
seasons that bothers him. When he
has the price" as he is pleased to
call it, he feasts at the eating places
where the legend appears on painted
signs; Rolls and Coffee, three cents;"
'Beefsteak and Potatoes, five cents;"
Full meal, eight cents" Or he can
forget that he Is tramp and become
in his mind a Croesus over the can OF

or three at table in an Italian saloon

cries built in the image of God and
designated by the godly under the
sweeping appellation of tramps, have
been waiting, patiently waiting, for
the first warm rays of the spring sun
to begin their ceaselessI journeys that
are without destination, without hope.
The morning, the noontide and the
night are alike to them. The hours
pass by unheeded. If the cravings of
hunger be stifed, if the wants of the
animal be supplied, they are content
as the beast is content. They have no
cares of the present, no thoughts for
the future. Their sole worry of the
day, their only nightmare of the night
is the haunting fear of work. Chicago
Is their Mecca in the winter time. In
the summer the great outdoors of the
world is their home.
When the weather Is moderate and
the sun begins to thaw the ice on the
south side of West Madison street,
section of this great army is scattered
in front of the low saloons and the
barrel-houses, the lodging places and
the al
the way from Halsted street TO the
river. On South Clark street below Van
Buren, and stretching down beyond
Harrison is another regiment mixing
with motley throng of slant-eyed
Cinnamon, Italian fruit venders, He
brew pawnbrokers, pack-peddlers,
swollen-faced women, dog fighters,
plug-uglies and thieves. The features
of the man have gone--passion, un-
controlled. unbridled, alone remains.
The tramp in all his misery here is
seen. He has bivouacked for the night
in his den Of filth and loathsomeness.
During the very cold weather-and
it has been cold in Chicago this win
ter, way below zero-this vast army
disappears rs if by magic. The raw
winds sweep through the empty streets
and the lonely pedestrian wonders
whence have fed the tramps, the beg
gars and the outcasts. Would he look
in the corridors of the police stations,

applicant Is given bench in the court
room away from the regular habitueS
of the station house.
In the morning each lodger is fur
nished with cup of black coffee and a
duffer-a sort of hard tack made of
second flour. There are men who go
regularly to the stations night after
night--old-timers in the tramp busi-
ness" as the police call 1t, who either
haven't the money TO pay their way
at cheap lodging house, or are of an
economical turn of mind and are saw
ing the coin to spend for liquor or
food.
The average tramp, however, avoids
the police when he can, and, as usual
thing, goes to the cheap lodging houses
when he has money. These sleeping
places are In the heart of the slum dis
tricts in Chicago. The greater number
of them are on West Madisonand South
Clark streets. At the station houses the
tramps apply for admission early, be-
ginning to arrive at five o'clock In the
afternoon. At the cheap lodging houses
February cold spell every place that
afforded u shelter was crowded. To
one who has never been "slumming" a
tour of these lodging houses is sight
novel, ludicrous, pathetic, heartrend-
ing. The first sensation upon entering
the room is one of sutfocation. The
windows are all closed and there is no
ventilation, the one idea being to keep
the heat within. In some of the places
the beds are so close together that
there is barely space enough for the
dodgers to pass between them. The
beds are very narrow and the clothing
is scant and filthy. Yet lodging house
of this character is looked upon as an
abode of luxury by the tramps, who
deem themselves extremely unfortunate
if they have the money to gain admis-
sion for the night there. These rooms
are generally on the second and third
floors. The price for bed is ten cents.
For the accommodation of those who
are regarded rs fastidious spendthrifts
by their fellow Migrants, little siX-by-
nine boxes, called rooms, are parti
toned off with rough boards and fur
nishcd with small cot, cheap wood
en- chair and an imitation of mirror,
usually cracked. These are let for the
night for 25 cents or by the week for
one dollar.
But resorts of This character are for
the aristocrats of the ''profession"--

Some Queer Things About Sleep,

One of the most remarkable facts to
be found in the history of sleep con-
sists in the utter inability to resist its
onset in cases of extreme fatigue. Sew
eral remarkable instances are given in
which persons have continued to walk
onwards while sleep has overcome
them, the automatic centers of tho
brain evidently controlling and stimu-
lating the muscles when consciousness
itself has been completely abrogated.
1t is recorded that at the battle of tho
Nile, amidst the roar of cannon and
the fall of wreckage some of the over
fatigued boys serving the guns with
powder fell asleep on the deck. DR..
Carpenter gives another instance of
allied kind. In the course of the Bur-
mese war, the captain of frigrate,
actively engaged in combat fell asleep
from sheer exhaustion, and slept sound
ly for two hours within a yard of the
Biggest gun, which was being actively
worked during his slumbers. 1t is a
matter of common medical knowledge
that extreme exhaustion in face of tho
severes pains will induce sleep. Here
the imperative demand of the body--a
demand implanted, as we have seen in
the constitution of our frames-assertl
its influence; and even pain, the ordi
nf in tI
turn to succumb. One of the most eX-
traordinary cases in which the over
ruling power of sleep was ever eXem-
plified was that of Damiens, condemn
ed for treason in Paris in 1857. He
was barbarously tortured, but remark
ed lat the deprivation of sleep had
been the greatest torture of all. 1t
was reported that he slept soundly
even in the short intervals which
elapsed between his periods of torture.
Among the Chinese form of punish
ment for crimes consists in keeping
the prisoner continually awake, or in
arousing him necessarily after short
intervals of repose. After the eighth
day of such sleeplessness, one criminal
besought his captors to put him to
death by any means they could choose
or invent, so great was his pain and
torment due to the absence Of ma
tures soft nurse" Persons engaged
in mechanical labor, such as attending
machine in a factory, have often fall
len asleep despite the plain record of
pains and penalties attending such de-
reelection of duty to say nothing of the
sense of personal. danger which was
plainly kept before their eyes.-Har-
