self a Respondent family tree.
"Shorty" did not trace his anees-
try back to an Irish King, but
was content to claim for his fore
bears the achievement of every
thing that was worth mentioning
in the history of Texas. 1t was
one of his ancestors who really
secured the independence of Tex
as; the Constitution of the State
was altogether in the handwrit-
ing of another, and every decision
worth the paper On which it was
written had been rendered by
Chief Justice Mclaughlin, "Shor-
ty S" immediate ancestor.
In the early eighties shorty"
and skinny" Hines were in the
principal saloon of Shreveport
talking for drinks" shorty"
had little knot of listeners at
one end of the bar, while "Skin-
ny" was surrounded by four or
FIVE at the other. So brilliant
was the conversation of the two
hoboes that the two barkeepers
were kept busy filling orders, and
the vacuum in the two printers
was fast filing up. ''Shorty"
had told any number Of interest
ing anecdotes, which, as ustal,
he began on his family history.
He gave some of the leading fea-
lures of the more important de-
clsions of his father, the Chief
Justice, and soon convinced his
hearers that there was no other
jurist in the world that was en-
titled to sit EN- banc with him.
The bred Scott decision was an
infant alongside of some of the
decisions OF his father which had
become EN- bodied in the juris-
prudence of every civilized nation
of the world. Finally, warming
up to his subject, Shorty"
shouted to the other end of the
counter: you know my father,
"Sklnny?"'
80, yes" replied skinny"
disguised at the interruption of
his story. 81 knew him WELDED
old tailor at Austin?"
skinny" had barely time to
dodge the decanter hurled at his
head, and the halcyon evening
was at an end. skinny" later
protested to the indignant "Shor-
ty" that it was fatal blunder to
spring leading question on him,
without giving him at least hint
as to the nature Of the graft, "
which brought from Shorty"
the rejoinder. "There NAV be
something in that, but your in
stinct should have told you, you
idiot not to tell the truth. That
is what hurts; the game was
about played out any way, bit it
is disgusting to think that part
ner of NINE should tell the truth
in the presence of the barkeep."
A talking game with not so
tragic an ending was worked in
this city during the eclipse of last
year. A tramp printer met an
Irish tailor, and both were suf-
fering from a thirst analogous to
that which is said in Scripture to
be epidemic in the bottonless
pit. The printer proposed that
they 60 to the nearest barroom
and he would talk for drinks, the
Irishman only making such re-
marks as were obviously safe.
Going to the nearest saloon the
printer took a card from his
pocket and drawing some geomet-
rical figures on it, proceeded to
enter upon learned disquisltion
on the eclipse. The barkeeper
listened open-routhed to the
learned professor" but the
Irish tailor seemed to be some
thing of an astronomer and easi-
IL followed his learned friend.

The Point
OF View

him self has become as extinct
in recent years as the dodo or the
great aux. The civil war gave
him great impetus as to the
mum Der, but he had already be-
gun to decline when the inven-
ton of the typesetting machine
put an end to him. Printers say
that of late they have noticed in
dications OF a recrudescene Of the
tramp, and predict that as soon
as the machine operators become
more numerous that the tramp
printer will be again much IN ev-
idence. But the tramp printer
Of few years ago has gone never
to return. We may have an imi-
. tation of him, but the genuine ar
ticle has gone to she Nirvana of
thl2gs that were.
Who that has been for ten years
or more connected with the
newspaper business does not re-
member the tramp printer, and
who is altogether gratiiied at his
extinction? For this nobleman
of the hoboes had his merits as
well as his drawbacks. Utterly
irresponsible, with thirst that
nothing short of a modern sym
dictate could finance, he was never
theless nearly always good COM
positor, and in most cases man
of fire native ability, of wide if
scattered reading and critical
observer Of men ard things.
The best Shakespearean scholar
ever knew was one OF these
tramps. He knew the Swan of
Avon from cover to cover, and
delighted to explain the OBSCURE
ties of time and change of lam
guage. He had "stuck" every
town in this country and in
Great Britain and the streets of
Stratford were as familiar to him
as were those of New Orleans.
And he was only type of his
class. Who does not remem Der

death of J; n. Free at some OBJ
scure hamlet in Indiana; I first
knew the Immortal ]. N" when
was q boy. He was then look
ing fora days work and as many
drinks as an enthusiastic public
would "set up" Failing to Sc
cure the days work he delivered
a lecture in the town hall on The
Removal of the Pressure, the
only subject on which he was en-
tirely sane. The lecture was not

It's delivery having been given.
But as a literary effort it was en-
Pertaining and instructive, and
during it's delivery several gen.
tlemen in the audience passed
their TASKS up to the SIN mortal
J. n, and he doubtless consid-
cred himself we'll recompensed.
The next morning the 'Immor-
tai" started on jaurit to New
Orleans, 1900 miles distant, but
changed his mind and am bled on
to San Francisco. Locality nor
distance concerned him in the
least. Like all of his class he
was cosmopolitan, and he was
at home in any town that had suf-
ficient self-respect to supper, a
saloon.

agate in the nonparel case to keep
the misguised regular busy two
days in the separation. For time
had weakened the old man S
sight and he could not we'll dis
tinguish between S IL and 6
point type. Hastily leaving the
composing room to escape the re-
marks of the regular. he was
stopped on the stairway by a
group of gentlemen who were dis
GUESSING the bearing the two
thirds rule would have on the
nomination of their choice for
President. The question having
arisen as to whether precedent
in favor of the two-thirds rule
was so strong as to prevent a
nomination by majority vote,
True Method" could not re-
main silent, and be began tostate
the attitude of every National
Convention on the subject, begin
mig with the body that nominat-
ed Thomas Jefferson. One of
the crowd on the stairway was
Major E. A. Burke, and drawing
True Method" aside be engag-
ed him to write monograph on
the subject. Jones did 50, and
in few days turned the work
over to the major.
"Thisis an excellent argument,
Mr.. Jones, SAID the major "ahd
is especially valuable as showing
the position of national conven-
tons on the subject. But IN
fortunately you have taken the
side which will be opposed by
the Louisiana delegation"
Every stupid of me-" replied
True Method, p" "but no harm
done. can write as much bet
ter argument from the other side,
and quote great many more
precedents." And this he did.
But Jones real am bition in life
was to change the method Of
eleeting a President of the Unit
ed States. He desired to COM
bine, or at least to reconcile, the
electoral college and the popular
vote. This he called "the true
method of electing a President, "
and hence his t1ane. Under the
patronage of Major Burke he
wrote pamphlet on this subject.
His true method" was to retain
the electoral college, but to re-
quire it to cast the vote of State
in such way as to give effect to
the will Of the minority as wella as
the ajority of the voters. For
instance, if a State had twelve
electoral votes and gave the Dem
ocratic ticket $4,000 votes and
the Republican 10000, Jones
maintained that the electors of
that State should cast eight votes
for the Democrat and four for the
Republican.
1t was during tie Hancock
campaign, and at that time the
election Of a Democratic Presi-
dent was a mere matter Of tradi-
ton. Consequently the effect
was startling when one night
Jones, after fig uring out the per-
centage of vote of every State in
the Union, brought his fl with a
thump down on the desk and an
nohnced exultingly:
BY, l haze elected a Demo
cratic President"
Jones true method aever be-
came political issue, but it may
become one yet, If there re
many more instances of the cleo.
toral vote overriding the popular
vote.
But Jones differed from his
fellows in that he had what he
considered a useful purpose to
achieve, whereas the ordinary
tramp printers only object in
life VIA G I he acu nj itior of HhoOSa {,
