dict through their foreman, George NJ. De-
laney, for the plaintiff to recover the

Edmund c. Mower looked after the inter-
ests of the defendant The suit was con-
tested on the ground that Dennis from

HoBoFs SEEKING COMFORT.
Advance Army Of Winter Tramps Al.
rendy in AriyOnn


/ The hobo season is little earlier this
year than usual. for no special reason that
the police can give. The officers have
picked up fifteen strangers suspected of
I Vagrancy and have been confronted by a
novel condition. Nearly all of them were
armed with certificates from a reliable To-
( cal employment agency stating that the
| bearers had made application for work on
the Nacosari Railroad. and the bearers
gave as an excuse for being found asleep
in box cars that they were waiting for
special transportation TO the scene of their
future operations. In all cases these GER
tificates were honored in Police Court. The
men were superior looking for tramps
Among the latest police catch were two
who Rad no certificates. One of them,
named Roberts. said he was asleep in a
box car out of consideration for a friend he
had found In Phoenix and who had invited
him to sleep in his house. Roberts said he
had cough which he feared would annoy
MS friend. ard he had therefore taken
lodging in the car. He was put below for
further consideration Of his case in the
afternoon. During his Incarceration he
gave the recorder. who was on the next
floor above him, frequent samples of his
disturbing cough. Roberts later said he
was from the extreme East, where his
health had failed him. and, hearing that
health was running wild in Arizona he
had come afater some Of II.
He was not strong enough to perform all
kinds OF labor. and the slightest kind he
had heard of in the Salt River Valley was
orange picking. Having lived all his life
In the Northeast he labored under the

Of labor but on his way West he stopped

mateiy discharged from custody on account
Of his cough and the near approach OF the

| to keep it within two seconds Of true time.
When 1t is thoroughly cleaned and able to
! pass a comparatively joyous time in the
absence Of any parliamentary disturbance
| at its base its solemn note upon the mid
! night air will once more be welcomed by
| Londpners as the voice Of an old friend.
Yet it is said that big Ben" is cracked,
| and those who look professionally upon
these things pronounce its tone to be so
hoarse and Earring as to defy settled
description of its note. There are others
who condemn the clock tower on archi-
tectural grounds and say all manner Of
offensive things about the wisdom Of our
parliamentary wiseacres who were re-
sponsibie for It's erection, but history and
tradition largely submerge all these con-
siderations, the average Londoner being
quite proud of the clock which has told
him from its high altitude of nearly 800
feet of the flight Of time ever since he
was boy, and also proud Of the great
bell which. influenced by a consummate de-
vice OF mechanism. booms out its unerring
tale night and day alike over the huge me-
tropolis. Why should it be left for the
curious only to know that the present
clock tower occupies as nearly as possible
the site of the similar great structure
erected by the first Edward, the cost of
which, it is said, was betrayed by fine
exacted upon a certain Judge for accept
ing bribe? This ancient tower con-
tanned Great Tom of Westminster" a
bell now only known by repute and super
seeded by the first big Ben,'' which
weighed sixteen tons. but. being found de-
fective, was broken up, and was succeed
ed by the present campanological giant.
And the size of the present clock and
bell are indeed Gargantuan. Take the
clock. 1t measures twenty-five and one
half feet across its dials. the hour hand
is fourteen feet in length, the weight Of
the hammer is four hundred weight, the
winding up of the gong part takes ten min
utes, the winding up of the striking parts
the quarter and the hour part-occupies
five hours each, and it has to be done
twice week. Its pendulum weighs $50
pounds, and the figures ON the enamel
transparent dial are two feet in length.
Take the bell; it weighs fourteen tons or
thereabouts; its circumference Is twenty
seven feet and its height six feet six
inches. 1t is tastefully ornamented with
Gothic figures and tracery in low relief,
and is inscribed with the date Of its cast
ing. Keeping it company are smaller
bells OF four tons each which note the
four quarters.
All over the courts OF the Westminster
palace the reverbcration of the big bell
rolls with recurring so1emnity. What
must 1t have sounded to those unfortunate
persons who were incarcerated in the
clock tower for political and other l..regu-
larities which it need suit nobody now to
enquire too closely into? The peoples Ie-
gard for the clock and the bell are too re-
historic trifes which will probably never |
he gain
