agent, had to do all the business and
cook his own meals over an oil stove
There were four trains daily over the
road; but, unless tagged, the two pas,
Scnger trains went through Rristow
ut a fifty mile clip. To the west of the
station was long siding with cattle
pens, then a straight track for thirty
miles over the prairie.
Bert could always count on a visit
from three or four tramps a day, and,
though the instructions from the divi-
sion superintendent We're to "discour-
age" them, he took his own course in
the matter. To discourage" them
meant TO threaten them with pains and
penalties and refuse them even a drink
of water. To Bert it looked too much
like childish spite, and, though he may
have done some growing now and
then. he always had bite to eat and
Il bit of tobacco for the tourist" whose
language was respectful. As matter
of fact, there were times when he
could sit down with one of them for
an hour and be Interested in the
tramp's adventures by flood and field.
If Bert did not obey his instructions

section did. He was burly big fell

had the law on his side, he fairly went
hunting for tramps. If one was found
track walking, he received such
humping that he could hardly crawl
off TO highway. and no freight train
with hobo on the bumpers could pass
the boss that his sharp eyes would not
detect the culprit.
Perhaps it was this mans fierce
cnmity toward tramps that softened
Bcrt's heart.
Agent and boss had never had Il
word on the subject, however, until
one summer afternoon he happened
along with his car and his gang just
as n tramp had reached the station
and was resting in the shade. Bert
had not seen the fellow as yet when
he heard row outside. The section
boss had Spicd the hobo and stopped
to give him a drubbins. The tramp

The question is often asked. Why do
cyclones. "whirlwinds" and tornadoes
all persist in the polar whirl from right
to left? Astronomical spectators have
supposed that all the planets once ex-
listed as rings of thinly scattered matter
around the sun and that these rings
were annular spgregatiOns from a
vague, irregularly scattered mass that
turned one way in spiral courses. thus
determining the direction in which the
rings revolved, and all the rest from
this took the same course.

Delhi is th&ymost historic city in all
India. 1t may not be the Oldest, al.
though 1t lays claim to respectable
middle age, dating from 1000 B. c. At
that time the master Of Delhi called
himself emperor of all the world, and
emperors, at least of India, have ruled
there almost ever since. Old Delhi,
without the walls, is city Of pictur-
esque ruins; imperial Delhi, the mod.
ern city, was created by Shah Jehan, n
contemporary of Queen Elizabeth.

medan iIcursion, A. ID. 715, perpetual

length she yielded to the Irresistible
power Of the Moguls. The city was
alternately Mohammedan and uindoo
during great many years and finally,
in 1903. was made British by General
Lake. Delhi has the finest and largest
mosque in India. 1t took 5000 van six
years to build 1t. The noble tomb Of
