Sixty Years a Tramp.

John Lynch, aged 50, who died the
other day used to boast that he was
The Oldest tramp in the United States,
told some of his experiences to few
friends jnst before he died.
Lynch came to the United States
from Ireland 60 years ago. He said in
summing up his long life as hobo:
"It is better, after all, to work than
to beg. But after man gets start
of 10 or 20 years as a tramp he makes
up bis mind that it is then too late to
begin a new life of labor. l began

1t is great mistake for men to chill
their blood, or make it too hot by cold
or hot baths.

Colo, coarse eating is the best for man.
Generally trampS live TO good old age.
This is helped by their being free from

Your Boy.

Father, if you have good moral in
dustriouS boy the chances are that you
do not fully appreciate his true worth.
If you have such boy, some day
pause on the street and take look at
some boy you know to have grown up
in idlenesS and vice, lounging around
the streets without any object or aim
in the world, except to finally fool some
innocent, uDsuspecting giddy girl into
marrying him. Then go directly, be-
fore your mind has wandered into
careless matter-of-course mood, and
take look at your own boy whom you
will 6nd hard at work in working
hours, bright open countenance with
a view Of making a man of himself.
Then have the courage and frankness
to step up to that boy and say, ''Son, 1
am proud OF you, and your mother is
tven happier over your habits and
manners than l am, for mothers
love and appreciation beats all else
Father, if You have bad boy, first ask
yourself what is the cause of his condi-
tion then go to work to devise some
means to at least partially rectlfy the
trouble. Perhaps you may be more at
fault for the boys condition than any
one else. Father, associate with your
boy, never shun him. l always feel

A Pen Picture of Senator Deboe.

To what complexion has the Repub-
lican party in Kentucky come when it
will sit silent under the domination of
the impossible DebOe, by virtue of good
luck and audaclty member of the U
5. Senate? The leaders who made Re-
publicanism respectable ia the old day S
have been thrown aside that he may
Tor six years more, pose in the 'sgreat-
est deliberative body on earth" as the
most monumentalasS that ever strayed
from barnyard. IfinteIligence were
an epidemic, with germs so thIck that
they could be sawed into paying blocks,
DebOe could not catch a gleam. If an
idea were by chance to enter his head
it would starve to death before it cOuld
make the journey through the desert
waste where the gray matter is found
in the ordinary human skull. If Dar-
win is right-and no earnest student
can read his descent of Man" without
giving his theory serious consideration
-Deboe should now be hanging by his
tail from the branches of coacoanut
tree in Central Africa instead of be-
scattering the walls of the United
States Senate with mangled parts Of
speech.
His address on the Nicaragua Cana
was the vaporiDg Of an idiot. The ira
ditional bull in the China shop was
gentlemanly in bis conduct compared
With what Deboe did to his mother
tongue 10 that harsh of stolen ideas aud
uutelligible gibbeIish. He woul1 not
know past participle IL he met one in
the road. and il some one were to men
tion split iDtinitive in his presence he
would want to know "what district the
gentleman represented" The density
OF thsS fellows ignorance is so great
that it can not be measured. A geOl-
giSt would have to cut through a sub
strata of dullness so wide and deep that
he would find in the palezOlc debris
traces of the mammoth and Dodo bird
and other extinct species. If Deboe
could be mummified as he is in the full
flow or and radiance of his idiocy, he
would be the mos valuable asset in
possession Of the National Museum
From the sll.s OF his M. IL sLoe, Ia
the crown of his No. 4 hat there's not
an inch OF HIM that is not soaked with
conceit. He is entirely satisfied with |
himself. He can look wise and know
less than anything yet discovered with
the ability to talk. And this is the in
Spired statesman ia whose behalf the |
National administration is wrecking |

must be returned to the United States |
