HIS Ingenius Method Of Becomins
Comfortable for transportation.


Travelling under a box car in
hammock is method OF progression
few men have indulged in. The. or
binary tramp is too lazy and too un-
imaginative to construct such a con-
seyance or to use it if made for him.
But Harry ID. Cooper, who is known
under the alias of Railroad Jack,
| the Hammock Rider" has travelled
for ten years in this manner, has Wis
tied many of the states and covered
over 100, 900 miles.
He has acquired his alias from
rlldely constructed hammock, which
he invented to assist him in Journey
ing over the land without buying
| tickets every time he wants TO exc
cute change of base. He calls the
hammock his annual pass, and is now
using the tenth of the SERIES The
trap is made of heavy canvas, strung
on a couple of strong iron bars, fitted
with hooks at the ends. These hooks
are fastened to the supporting bars
OF box car or sleeper, and the trav
eler is secure inside the hammock
Cooper says that it was ten years
ago, while stranded in Denver, Col,
that he devised the hammock which
he has successfully used ever since.
His first attempt was on the night OF
April 10, 1859, when he took his ham
mock two miles east of Denver and
| patiently waited at the junction of the
! Kansas Pacific and Cheyenne division
OF the Union Pacific railway for an
eastbourd train. In order not to
arouse the suspicion of those whom
he might meet he wore pair of blue
overalls, a blue frock and cap, so as
to have the appearance of an ordinary
car inspector. The scheme proved so
successful that since that time he has
travelled through thirty states and
SKINNED over 100. 900 miles of railroad
without knowing what it is to pay car
fare.
As a protection from the dust
gravel and wind the hammock has a
cover which Cooper can draw over
him. He rides more comfortably ON a
Pullman car than a box car, for the
reason that a Pullman car is wider
and allows him to lie in his hammock
at full length. Under a box car he
is compelled to ride in sitting
posture. Railroad men seldom inter
fere with him, as he causes no trou.
bic. Besides this, his appearance is
that of typical railroader. and as he
travels almost exclusively after night
he is seldom detected.
Contrary to the general run of the
Knights of the box car, Railroad Jack
has good habits and aSpires to be
| something better. He neither smokes
| nor chews and leads this life no
doubt, for the same philosophical
reasons which prompted Diooenes tn
select wash tub as a place of resi-
cence. 1t Is his present intention to
gather data and in a short time write
book of his life. He is now "a years
Old, and his mysterious WAYS max.
him an object of interest. AT Detroit
he has horse built ON wheels. where
he resides. and it is called the Horse
that Jack Built.

Another on Kipling.

There is one hotel in Nottingham,
the White Horse by name, and it is
kept by an old fellow named Welfare.
Rudyard Kipling frequently passed
his evenings with this Welfare, and
together they smoked and hammered
politics. Now, Welfare was a strong
radical, and Mr.. Kipling, as is well
known, is an advanced imperialist.
One cam imagine, therefore, that these
were spirited meetings. In a while
Mr.. Welfare fell i'll. Mr.. Kipling
called as usual, and he would sit by
the bedside and talk. As before, they
bolted politics and talked crosswise
and flung their lances. Now it was
the practice of the doctor to call
quite late and take his patients tenn
perature, and he always wondered to
find him, in what should have been
the quietest hour of the day, heated
and per turbed. This went ON for sew
e1-al days-the doctor wondering, Mr..
Npling arguing and Mr.. Welfare ig-
niting-until The maids let out the
secret of the nightly discussion. Then
the surgeon came to the writer
house.
'Mr. Kipling," said he, you must
call no more at the White Horse"
"Why not?" said Kipling.
Because said the doctor, "you are
killing the landlord On Monday
when you We're gone his temperature
increased degrees, Tuesday it in
creased 8, and last night when I
called it had gone up 9. At this rate
you'll burn the house down" -Phila-
delphia Call.

Is steadily growing more popular in
this country.
A few years ago Newport was the
only place where any interest was
taken in it.
Now there are many hunt clubs,
the Essex County and Norfolk
County being the nearest at home,
and the Hunt Breakfasts and meets
are keenly enjoyed.
Hunting no doubt has its pleas
ures, but finding is better still.
If you are hunting for really de-
licious coffee, buy Chase & Sanborn's
coffee and you will find what you
were hunting for.
These cotfees will make your Hunt
Breakfast or any other meal de-
lightful event.
Those who have learned by ex-
perience and wish to be absolutely
sure that they are getting pure coffee
and the best coffee, without grain
of adulteration, ask for and insist
upon having Chase & Sanborn's
Coffees.
THERE'S none betteron the market.
The fact that these cotfees bear the
seal of Chase & Sanborn is in itself a
sufficient guarantee that they are
full weight and in every way perfect.
Seal Brand Coffee comes in one
and two-pound tin cans, and their
other high grades in richly colored
parchment-lined imported bags.

him, of useful life, In which he has often
given Il helping hand TO the poor and unfortu-
nate; faithfully and generously labored for
the school and the church; and so carefully and
wisely sought to secure the comfort and happi-
ness of the people among whom he lived; that
they and we may say for him that which reflects
honor who may justly deserve it; that the
world is better world because in 1t he has
lived and thought and planned and labored.
And as we place upon our pages our own trib-
ute to our departed brother, may we also as
sure those who in the home he loved SO well,
mourn his departure, of our deepest sympathy
for them in this hour of afliction.
Resotved That a copy of these resolutions
be sent to the family of the deceased, and that
they be spread upon the records of the lodge
and the hall draped in mourning for the space
of thirty days. j. w. DRESSER.
