A greater part of the weeks out

is an advance of So 30 per ton ever

Zinc ore prices were higher dur

sion is the whereabouts of Bar
hard Carr. He was never a great
celebrity in the sense that he had be-
come noted for a mastery ii some one
branch of Under World skill; but he
was considered by the ''perfesh'' and
the Powers That Rule a remarkably
clever "aIl-round" man. Hoboes liked
him because, as they put 1t, he was

One of the present scribes met Carr
while he was at the top of his reputa-
ton, at a tramp camp in Pennsylvania
IT was at night, and circle of men
and boys were lounging about a great
fire, with the dome of the stars for a
tent and selected railway ties for
campehairs and cots. On a tie apart,
a tie of state, sat a well-dressed
stranger who was obviously the guest
OF the evening. His stylish garb white
hands and polite manner were evidence
enough that he was no ordinary trav-
eler of the road"
Newcomers at the camp were not left
long in ignorance of the mans identity.
The scribe had hardly taken a seat
on one of the ties when a lad at his
side nudged him and said in an awe
struck Whisper: That's Carr, the
great perfesh'nuI" A heather could
not have directed attention to one OF
his deities with more reverence. The
man seemed to be Oblivious of the re-
gard in which he was held by the ca mp.
His eyes were fixed on the fire. and
he spoke only occasionally. He had
little to say about himself and an
swered questions in monosylla bles.
When he got UP to leave he dropped
a 80 bill on the tie, saying: Wet 'er
