Homellke Place.

Yes, we get into county jails oc-
casionally," said the tramp, but the
trouble is they dop't keep us long
enough. A jail is4a bomelike place,
with plenty to eat, no work and good
treatment. We are generally SEN
fenced for three months. but after
about four weeks the sheriff picks out
three or four of us and says: Now,
boys. them iron bars on that winder
is loose and it's going to be dark
night. Hev some ambition about YOU
An old tramp knows what that means.
and he is ten miles away before day
light. A tenderfoot figgers to stay on,
and next morning the sheriif comes
In and finds him there and says:
What. hain't you got no ambition!
Then I'llgiye YOU sonnet and he boots
him out into the yard and sets him to
promenade. around with . log fas-
tened to his leg.

Laziness of Kanir..

One of the miners in the copper
country will turn out as much work as
five of our men. We have to employ
Kaffir labor. Kaffirs are VIGOROUSLY
lazy, and they require constant super
vision or they will quit work alto
gether With every five Kaf1rs one
white man is employed. One hole
drilled with hand drill is considered
days stint for Kaff1r. Although
our employees do not get as much pay
individually as the miners hereabouts,
yet labor costs us much more, because
one of the copper country miners will
do as much work as five Kafirs. In
Dom Paul's domain the natives are re-
stricted by stringent laws. When a
native is employed in the Transvaal
he is given a pass upon his arrival,
and he is legally compelled to work for
a specified length of time. If he de-
serts his employer he is arrested.
When native is seen on the streets or
highways any white man has right
to demand an inspection of his pass
If he does not produce it, or there is
ground for believing that he has not
obtained permission from the employer
to leave his work, he is taken into
custody.-Detroit Tribune.

Bixby lies at the crossing of the iron

not like to say how many railroad
men know the place, or have wondered
how they could escape from 1t. 1t is
always quite pleasant to be leaving
Bixby-or it would be If it were not
for Dad and Nam.
The first time saw Dad and Nam
was when my route was changed from
Omaha to Denver am mail clerk
and I landed at Bixby with a wait OF
thirty minutes, horribly empty stom-
ach, and no visible way of filling it.
Don't they eat out this way?"
asked Theo Auditor, who was in the
mail car with me.
81 should say SO" said he. "If we
eat anywhere we eat at Bixby."
"Macduff," cried I, eff there's any
place to lead to, please lead on"
He did. We went down the uninter-

here" ruminated aloud. was a
Chicago man and had ideas of my own
about what town should be. Auditor,
who came from Peoria, and hated Chi
cago, answered rather sourly:
There's no accounting for the dirty
holes some folks like to live in
We turned down a street that was
all blackness save for one flashing and
welcoming glow that came from the
headlight of an engine. The headlight
stood before long, low building with
storm doors at the entrance and storm
sash at the windows. Once behind that
door, the winter had vanished, and we
were in a long apartment, brightly
lighted with rough gray walls, trim
med with flags and vines, and filled
with men.
A shout went up as we entered.
