TPamps' New Scheme,

The hoboes who wander up and
down the highways in Kansas have
invented a plan that furnishes them
the best living possible. One of the
promoters of the scheme went to a
hotel man in the western part of
the state not long since and repre-
sented that he was an employee Of
a railway company and was working
on the section near the town. He
made arrangements to board at the
hotel until he had received his first
check.
He was given a good room and
plenty to eat. Every day his dinner
pail, which the landlord had bought
for him, was filled in the morning.
and he went down the track to
work, as it was supposed. He board
ed at the hotel for two weeks and
one morning left and did not re-
turn. He took the dinner pail
along. Investigation proved that he
had never worked on the section
and the only work which he per-
formed which left any visible re-
suits was on tho credulity of the
hotel keeper.

Senator Bard of California is said
to be rather careless about his dress
and is rarely seen in the frock
coat and shining silk hat generally
supposed to constitute the garb Of a
senator. His brother, who somewhat
resembles him, is, on the contrary,
very particular about his apparel. A
story is going the rounds to the eff
feet that the brothers were travel
ing together through the interior
last summer when they met many
of the senator's constituents,
At little station that lay on
