There is no such thing as a typical
tramp incarnate. He has his existence
only in the comic weekly and newspa-
per supplement. The average hobo I'M
der different environment would be
the average man; under his existing
environment he approximates thereto,
though that environment tends strong
~ to multiplication OF types rather
than to uniformity. Consider that your
hobo travels many thousand miles in
year, visiting places of interest and
large cities besides-in a majority of

sThe manager of our bureau has
thought out a splendid scheme for
the children's supplement"
'Eh! What is it,"
'"He has had one of the artists draw
a full page picture of Mont Pelee in
action, and then, right at the summit
he has rubbed a lot of explosive
chemicals. When a match is touched
to the stuff the eruption occurs. The
child under five years whose photo
graph shows the smallest amount of
hair and eyebrows after the explosion
gets the first prize. Great idea, isn't
it,"

Stockton H. "Coune.v

In the early days Of his journalistic
the late Frank r. Stockton was stand
ing with a group Of newspaper men,
listening to the. eloquence of one of their
number, who, on the strength of some
small authority, was giving his views
on higher journalism" in a pompous
and bombastfc manner.
At the close of a sonorous period he
paused for breath, when Mr., Stockton.
speaking for the first time ventured,
mildly, to disagree with the opinion ex-
pressed.

the great man. ''Why, you are only
