lady of the house put him up lunch o
| four or five sandwiches consisting of nice
light bread, spread with 30 cent butter
aud cold sliced l5-cent meat, tender as
spring chicken. The fellow seemed very
grateful as he left the door. The head o.
the household had some curiosity tC
know more of the ways Of the average
tramp and followed him a few rods from
the house. The tramp unlolded his lunch
examined the bread and meat and heaved

aud made bee-line for another back
door arross the street. Thinking perhaps
he might be mistaken the gentleman
picked up the discarded lunch aud found
it to be the identical one his wife had a
few moments before taken such care to
put up for the hobo. 1t won't be well for
tramps to bother that household again
very soon. At any rate what right has
an able bodied man to be tramping and
begging in these times?
