A Pre-empted Home From Which He
L. Often DfaIOdged.

FRe-empted Home From which He
Is Often DisIOdged.
A casual observer might wonder why
the rods bolted through the timbers at
either end are placed under freight
cars. They are not put there for hoboes
to ride on, but to stiffen the floor of the
car. Sometimes there are four, two
close together on each side, but more
often there are six, separated by equal
distances.
At the center, where the rods are rid
den, there is often room between them
and the bottom of the car for a man to
sit almost upright, though with his
head bowed forward, but where there
are six rods the hobo usually lies
across them like steak on a gridiron.
While the train is moving slowly it is
easy as a rule to drive him off by
throwing coal or rocks at him. If it is
going very fast, there is danger of kill
ing him, and that is likely to get the
brakeman in trouble (from ten years to
life is customary.
There is one other way of removing a
hobo from the rods under a freight, but
the brakeman must be a man of steady
nerve, quickness and physical strength;
also he must know exactly where the
hobo is before he comes off the top to
get him. Dropping from the train car
or two ahead of the one under which
the man is riding, the brakeman has
time to brace himself before that car
reaches him (the train should be NOV
ing only slowly; then he seizes the
hobo by the coat collar or by his arms.
The motion of the train does the rest,
and the hobo is dropped on the ground.

Plaster patches were introduced In
England in the reign Of Edward vi. by
a foreign lady who in this manner in
geniously concealed wen on her neck.
They became such a craze and were
carried to such exaggerated lengths
that they were finally lampooned out
of sight. The men, as well as the wo-
men, stuck themselves over with these
beauty spots. No lady of fashion con-
sidered her toilet complete until she
was equipped with her little box of
patches cut In her favorite design. If
one happened to come off in company,
she hurriedly replaced it with fresh
one from the box.
At length patching in England went
so far that party spirit was symbolized
by the position of the patches. A letter
in the paper on June 2, I'LL, tells of
a visit to the Haymarket and the dis
covery by the writer of three classes
of women In the boxes all differently
patched Upon inquiry he discovered
that those who patched on the right
side of the forehead were Wings and
those who favored the left were To
ries, while those who patched indiffer-
emily on either side were a neutral
party, whose faces had not yet de-
clared themselves Weekly.

The blue eye indicates love and SEN

ciated with temperate character. 1t

amiable dispositions and tastes that
are refined, is mentally active and
usually of a versatile intellect. The
light eyed races have always attained
a higher degree of civilization than
the dark ones, and that which holds
true of nations will be found the same
in individuals.
The eyes which borrow their tint
from the summer sky dazzle and be-
wilder, whether flashing in scorn or
melting in sorrow. The large blue eye
is the type of purity and peace and
thrills the heart at a single glance. 1t

the trusting heart. 1t is the eye which
haunts the lovers dream and has per-

Wordsworth has told us:

cloudless sky, whose azure depths
their color emulates, must needs be

The English house of lords has never
been particularly kind to it's fair Wis
itors. Long ago, in the days when
duchesses sold their kisses for votes,
the house of lords forbade them to en-
ter, and battle royal ensued between
the ladies and the peers. The lord
chancellor had sworn that he would
not let them in, and the Duchess of
Queensberry had sworn that ladies
should come in. "This being reported -
we read In an old dairy, ''the peers re-
Solved to starve them out. An order
was made that the doors should not
be opened till they had raised their
siege"
These amaZons now showed them
selves qualified for the duty even Of
foot soldiers. They stood there till
in the afternoon without either sus-
tenance or intermission, every now
and then playing volleys of thumps,
kicks and raps against the door with
so much violence that the speakers in
the house were scarcely heard At last.
by strategy worthy of general, the
ladies 'all rushed in and placed them
selves in the front row of the gallery"
where they remained till an hour be-
fore midnight, applauding or kissing
TO their hearts content
