Living Well on Nothing a Year

he becomes as friendly with these men 40
possible.
Then he leaves the Young Mems Christian
association with praises ringing In his ear.
He says he has secured a job in Philadel-
phia. thanks the manager politely for his
kindness and disappears. But he does not
go to Philadelphia. He begins to use his
newly made friends.
At $50 o'clock every night he sends one
them to the Salvation Army headquarters
TO get a ticket for a bed and meal. This
friend Is always one who has paid for a bed
in some lodging house and therefore does
not need the ticket. AS a mark of his
friendship he gives the ticket to the arlsto-
cratic CRATER"
This scheme can be worked for only a
week or two. IL would ruin everything for
the leisurely gentleman to appear too often
at the same lodging house with a free
ticket, So, when he thinks his welcome Is
in danger. he goes to the Municipal Lodging
house and stays there for two nights. Then
he disappears, for, II he tried 1t a third time
in succession, he would be sent TO the
island" for a term of anywhere from one
to three months.
During all this time he has managed to
keep supplied with clean linen. He can get
that in almost any quarter of the city-at
the Young Mems Christian association lodg-
ing house, at the Salvation Army headquar-
tiers or at the offices of a half dozen other
charity organizations, because he always
looks neat and deserving.
All this time, too. he has been eating his
-four and FIVE meals a day, he has had his
newspapers, tobacco and liquor from his
picked-up acluaintances, and, by calling at
the Mills hotel on Saturday evening he has
usually managed to secure n free ticket for
some concert or o%ratorio TO be given the
next evening.
. When, after two months or so of this life,
he feels that he is outstaying his welcome
in New York, he quietly takes a freight
train for Philadelphia, or another OF a half
dozen cities, and does the same thing on a
smaller scale. He cannot live so long in
these places as he does in New York, but
he averages two or three weeks In each,
and so, by the time he gets back to the me-
%tropolis, he is forgotten by the men he
preys upon and can begin the round all over
again. He is only one Of thousands and II
not remembered for more than a few days

his clothes and hangs them in a patent
dryer. They arc dry by the time he has
finished his bath.
At 10 o'clock he goes to Madison square.
There he joints 1 line of men and receives
the coffee and sandwiches given out free
every night from a great furniture van
hired by the firm which maintains this
charity. II he is still hungry and the line
not too long, he takes his place again and
receives a second helping. Then a half
hour later he follows the van to Union
square, where the same program is gone
through with. But he has not finished eat
ing yet.
At midnight. every night. several Of the
big bread bakeries in town give half a loaf
of bread and a cup of coffee TO every man
who applies. At one Of these the tramp
doubles again. Then he goes to bed. hav-
ing saved a sandwich and a piece of bread
for breakfast.
Next morning he must make good his
promise to call at the army headquarters
and look for work. He is not to be the
tired. discouraged tramp this time. He is
to play the part of the man who is thor
oughly worthy and, to do that, he must
look as neat as possible. But he has al
most a weeks growth of beard and his hair
is long and unkempt. What can he do
without money? Why, get a shave and a
hair cut, a shampoo and a rundown, Of
course. Nothing is easier.
Down on Canal street there is a school
for BARRIERS. Here the young men who are
learning their trade gladly welcome any
one who will submit himself to their
amateur hands. They are not the scissor
and-razor experts that are to be met with
in the best barber shops, but, though it
takes them ZONE time 20 perform their
operations, they give a clean shave and
a neat haircut and, what is mere import
ant in this case, they thank the tramp
for coming in and allowing them to prac-
tice on him. So. with a bath, neat clothes,
a clean shave and a haircut, the aristo-
cratic CRATER presents himself at the
Salvation ARM headquarters a changed
man internally and externally. Yet he
has not spent a cent. nor has he done a
stroke of work.
Say" he says to the adjutant in charge,
II got a chance to get a job in Brooklyn,
Omaha daily bee., 1903-03-29

so | think I'll 60 over there. No, | don't
want no money. This is on the level. But,
say, I've been out of a job a long time
now and | a'int very clean. II you'll give
me clean shirt and collar, I'll give you
the ones I've got on, and then | think |
can get this job"
Nothing could be more laudable than
such a desire for cleanliness, 50 the ex-
change is made and the tramp leaves
heaquarters looking neat and clean ox-
cept for his torn c6at. This. il would
seem, presents an insurmountablc diff
nculty. But nothing is easier. The serv-
ices OF a tailor can be had fer nothing.
All this preparation has been made with
only one object in view. He wants to make
himself worthy locking so that he can
present himself at the relief station of the
Young Mems Christian association at 1853
Bowcry. This Is the only place in New
York where he can get a free bed and two
free meals a day for a period of two or
three weeks at a time. They will keep
the ordinary tramp two weeks and then.
IL he seems to make no effort to help him
self, they will put him out.
But the gentleman bum goes in looking
SO sleek and acts the part of the victim
of misfortune with such consummate art,
that he is settled for three weeks. During
all that time he occupies the same bed
and gets two square meals a day. The
hot and cold shower baths are at his dis
posal as often as he wants 10 use them,
and the more frequently he washes his
clothes, the higher will he rise in the esti-
nation of the manager. But best and most
remarkable Of all, a tailor is always in at
tendance and tears and rips and misnt
clothes are corrected without cost to the
woarer. So, in enc day, this tattered
tramp becomes the well-groomed man Of
the world, with his face always shaved and
his clothes always neat and clean.
Every day he goes about among the
cheap lodging houses and spends his time
picking up acquaintance among those who
are willing to work for their living. These
men he uses when he needs them. While
he is comfortably fixed at the Young Mems
Christian association he does little except
accept cigarettes and beer from them,
usually at his own suggestion, but, as soon
as his three weeks begin to draw to a close,

rat chung to him with deathlike tenacity,
and held On with his teeth and feet. This
round lasted one minute. The rat was
then dislodged and the snake made for him
the second time. The snake struck at his
opponent and chased him around the cage,
the rat jumping about and lodging the
blows OF the snake and avoiding the mouth
of the snake. until the snake presented an-
other opportunity. and then the rat for the
third time sprang on the snake and riveted
his teeth at the same place. The time was
one minute five seconds.
The snake, finding himself free from his
enemy, crawled into one corner OF the
cage and eOiled up, but did not renew the
fight. The rat resumed his place In the
corner he had originally chosen and stood
there painting and trembling, but Gid not
make another attack, and the victory was
awarded TO the rat. which was uninjured.

to think there would be no fight, when the
snake almOst imperceptibly moved, and at
this instant the rat sprang from the corner
to the head of the snakes distance of six
feet and seized the snake just behind the
head and sank his teeth into his neck. I'm

but the rat lodged and escaped and ran
around the cage until he again found the
snake stretched out at full length, this posi-
ton being the opportunity for which he
sought, and he again sprang on the snake
and fastened his teeth in the snake at the
same place and held on.
Another struggle ensued more furious

III Fight Between a Rat and a Snake

who came near the cage where he was con-
fined.
About this time one of the employees of
the museum was engaged in catching rats,
and one morning he exhibited a large rat,
much larger than is usually seen, and that
looked like a good sized squirrel. Seeing
what a magnificent fellow the rodent was
1t was decided to have a fight between the
snake and the rat. The cage in which the
snake was confined was about seven feet
long and five feet wide and five high. with
glass on the ends and on one side. This
cage was cleaned out and the snake was
put back, and he stretched out and lay as
IL asleep. The rat was then dropped in
and he ran up into the corner near the tail
OF the snake to view the cage.
tn snake apparently did not take any
notice Of the rat, but the rat soon took in
the situation. His eyes we're fixed on the
snake and he was painting from excitement.
Several minutes elapsed and neither antag-
onist moved, and the spectators had begun

Wyoming Sheriff After Requisition
for Neuman and Wood

Chief OF Police Morse has received
dispatch from Sheriff Miller OF New.
castle. Wyo., directing him to hold
Neuman and Wood, the alleged bur-
glars, who were arrested here last
week at the request OF Miller, as they
would be taken back to Wyoming
/ for trial The sheriff was here last
Saturday, but the men refused to ac-
company him without a requisition
and he now wires that the district at
torney has gone to Cheyenne to secure
one.
OF the II revolvers the men are
said to have stolen, five have been
recovered by the police OF this city
who found them in various places,
where the men had sold or pawned
them. 1t is believed that they dis
posed OF some of the others at Sheri-
dan, where they spent several days
before coming to Billings
In case it should be impossible to
convict Neuman at Newcastle he will
be turned over to the authorities of
Nebraska, as he is charged with hav-
ing burglarized store at Hemingford !
in that state. He was arrested at
Newcastle on a dispatch from the
sheriff at Hemmingford, but worked
on the sympathies OF the marshal,
who was holding him, and that officer
released him. On the night of his
release Neuman robbed a hardware
store and loaded himself down with
revolvers.
1t is believed that Wood was also
at Newcastle at the same time, but he
kept himself out of sight, as he was
not seen by any of the officers of the
place. Since his arrest here he has
admitted that he was there, but
claims to have left the day before
the burglary was committed. The
fact that he disposed of the revolvers
that have been recovered causes the
officers to disbelieve his story.

NEW MEDICAL DISCOVERY.
AIkaIi Water Proves Cure for Snake
Bite.

AS a remedy for snake bite alkali
water will probably never displace
whisky in popular esteem, but an ac-
tual test OF it's efficaciousness in that
direction made near Glendive some
days ago demonstrated it to be equally
good. The man that made the expert
lnent was Joe McFran, sheepherder.
McFran has been in the employ of
Milan Brooks and last Friday saw
rattlesnake crawl into hole. He
attempted to catch the reptile by TAX
ing hold Of it's TAIL A few inches dis
tant from the hole from which the
snakes tail protruded was another.
Through this hole the snake projected
it's head and while the herder was
pulling at it's tail turned and bit him
in the hand. OF course, McFran in
stantly released his hold and the
snake made off. So did the herder.
McF'ran ran to water hole nearby
and began to fill himself on the al

time he could not have been induced
to drink the stuff, but just then it tast-
ed good to him and he continued to
drink more. When he could hold no
more he attempted to move, but found
his legs were paralyzed He remain
ed in the hole several hours, until a
horse came along that was dragging
picket rope. McFran managed to
grab the rope and get the horse to
the hole. After much labor he suc-
ceeded in mounting the animal and
rode to James Cavanaugh's ranch,
about 10 miles distant. When he
reached there he was unable to talk
or move and appeared more dead than
alive. He made understood what had
happened to him and he was sent to
Glendive, a distance OF 25 miles, where
he received medical attention.
The doctors say McFran will recov-
er, but declare his escape to be mirac-
ulous and attribute his recovery to the
alkali water he drank, saying it acted
as an antidote to the poison of the
snake.

valley states to find the same crou
raised there just as luxuriantly. Count
Kinsky stated that he had expected
to find conditions that would be a
surprise, but had been surprised at
the extent OF the surprise awaiting
him. While in his country the far.
mers were forced to make an exten.
sive use OF fertilizers and to give the
soil extremely careful cultivation, con-
tinually alternating crops, in this coun-
try, he said, they raise corn one year
and keep on raising it without decreas-
ing returns
Two things that were remarked by
all the party were the activity and
energy OF the Americans and their
ability to control interests OF gigan-
tic proportions. The great private in
dustries, where single men or cor
porations control interests that seem
too vast to be managed by a single
controlling power, were matters hard
for them to conceive OF, and the en-
ergy OF men who can form such in
dustries seemed a wonder
Many comments were made on the
thrift and good practical sense shown
by the American farmer. One of the
visitors said that among the changes
which he intended to institute on his
estate as result of his American
visit woul surely be the erection
OF buildings OF the convenient and
wholly simple type that grace the
farms of the United States.
One thing that struck the members
OF the party was the extreme friend
l1ness and courtesy OF the American
people and their earnest efforts to
make their visit as pleasant and pro-
f1table as possible. And this, too,
before they have been in Montana. y
