TRAMPS' FAVORITE JAILS.
Part of the Industry Is to Find Ac-
ceptabIe Winter Quarters.

ceptable Winter Quarters.
'It's very funny how the professional
tramp VIII locate good and bad jails,
with view to spending as comforta-
BILE winter as possible" said the sher-
iff of neighboring parish who has
had an extended experience with the
hobo fraternity.
You know how an epicure in big
city will hunt for quaint, out of the
way restaurants and when he finds one
that Is really excellent how he will
hide the discovery from his friends,
for fear that popularity will deteriorate
the service. Well, it's exactly the
same way with tramps. They all cal
culate on spending the most inclement
part of each winter In Jail, and during
their summer wanderings they en-
deavor to locate some easy institution
where they will be well fed and warm
ed and not expected to do any work.
When such a place Is found, the secret
Is carefully guarded, so the jailer's
heart will not be hardened by too
many calls on his hospitality.
Last month had typical educated
hobo on my hands for Is days So
journ, and he unfolded his winter pro-
gramme In an amusing fashion. He
said he had two jails located as de-
sirable cold weather quarters, one III
southern California and the other in q
small town in Florida L don't know
anything personally about the Florida
joint he said, but the last four tramps
I've met from that country all warned
me as a friend to give the town wide
berth. | judge from such solicitude,'
he added that the jailer there is dead

week The California lookup was In a
small place, as | ascertained, avoided
by wayfarers on account of the bad
reputation of a former sheriff. The
buns don't know that he is dead yet
said my guest, and l am doing my
best to keep the sad news from reach
ing their ears. The present incumbent

or and Is often treated more as a guest
than prisoner by his kind hearted
captors. The location of such n refuge
is valuable trade secret.
Sometimes, however, the wanderers
make painful blunders, as was the case
n few years ago when small army of
vagabonds poured into town in Penn
sylvania which had enjoyed a past
reputation for extraordinary leniency.
During the summer new vagrancy
statute had gone into effect, and every
man arrested was given a year at hard
labor In the state penitentary. My ed
uCated hobo was one of the victims
and shuddered whenever he recalled
the experience. He regarded it as a
gross violation of the sacred laws of
hospitality" - New Orleans Times

Vas, Amount OF Non,ep,e.

Mohtezuma Republican: It occurs to
us that there is a vast amount OF nom
sense in the tuberculosis theory as adj
vanced by the state board of health.
Last week a desperate effort was made
to pass law in the legislature making
it necessary for milk dealers to submit
their cows to medical examination or
test in order to ascertain whether or
not the animals are afflicted with tu-
berculosis. Senator Lewis has asked
one of the advocates of the measure
if it were not possible that eating beef
might not lead to a contraction Of the
disease, and he stated in answer that
the danger was not so great from eat
ing the meat of a COW thus afflicted
as in drinking her milk. Those who
have Investigated the matter contend
that cases Of tuberculosis among cat
tie are very rare and that the agita-
ton of the question has unduly ex-
cited people and also slandered the
faithful COW.
