absolutely assured that If the cars are pro-
PEELED by electricity fed through under
ground ducts, as in Washington, there will
be no wires overhead to break and to fill
the street with horror-producing tangles.
Washington learned its lesson in avoidance
of this menace by studying the conditions
beyond its bounds and it is well satisfied
with the result, even though it has had to
wait a bit for the contamination of it's
rapid transit plans. By all means let Chi
cago take warning from Gutenberg and
eschew the trolley.

How They Do 1t at Springfield.

The Springfield Republican tells of a
small boy, aged twelve, who walked into
calling for a subscription blank, wrote
down his name and handed the president
of the board Is cents The explanation of
his performance is that Springfield's law
officers have decided that the city has no
right to appropriate or spend cent to en-
terrain the President of the United States.
So the board of trade is raising a fund for
the purpose, and this little boy gave it a
boost.

Hoboes are greatuewsDaper readers.

HobOes are great newspaper readers.
1t is very common thing for one to
show up in a newspaper Office with a
request for IAN exchange or two"
aud they always want the latest they
can get. Hoboes who make this ter
ritory want Chicago, 81. Louis, Omaha
and Kansas City papers when they
can get them, but they will take those
of any town when they can not get
the ones they wish most particularly.
"What do you tourists want with
these papers?' was asked recently OF
one Of the clan who had just made the
stereotyped request. "Well, you see,"
was the answer, 1--WE cover good deal
Of territory, and by getting our
clamps on newspapers whenever we
can we manage to keep track OF the
way things are going through the
county," They probably pay partic-
ular attention TO the police news,
but that they read the general news
closely is evident by their knowledge
of current events. Talk to a hob
some day and you may be surprised 10
learn bow up to date his knowledge is.
And another thing has been noted
concerning them: They never fail TO
be pOlIte 10 their requests for papers,
and never fail to express thanks for
the same as nicely as anyone could
wish. There is another use to which
these papers can be put. HobOes say
that small bundle OF newspapers
burned judieiously would keep the
interior Of a box car at a comfortable
temperature for a surprisingly long
time.
