KING OF TRAMPS
oseph Gerard French Globe Trotter
in Town.

Joseph Gerard, the king of tramps.
other king he refuses TO be classed with
the hoboes. Mr.. Gerard is Il French
man, and until five months ago he
could not speak word of English,
though he now talks quite fluently and
quite correctly in conversation. Mr..
Gerard left Brussels, Belgium, March
l, 1901, without a cent in his pocket to
tour the world in three years. If sue
cesEful in his enterprise he is to receive
from q French literary club 100000
francs. No success, 10 money.
But Mr.. Gerard proposes to make a
success of it. and bids fair to do so,
and r.akes his way from one place to
another by walking when broke and
riding when he has money and there
are ways to ride which is not always
the case. He came to Arizona after
touring down the coast and over Lower
California. He will now go down
through old Mexico. then south through
the various countries of South America
and then Africa and home. He adds
to his financial resources as oppor-
tunity offers by selling his picture and
by lecturing in French and singing
French songs. He wears a leather coat
with the French colors around his
sleeve and reports to French consuls
wherever he finds them.
He differs from the ordinary globe
trotter in that he not only goes around
the world but up and down it, visiting
all the civilized countries in five con-
tinents. The countries he has alrea iy
! Travelled in are Belgium, Germany, Den
mark. Norway. Sweden, Finland, Rus
sia, Siberia, Japan. China, Cochin
China, India, France, Spain, Portugal
England. Scotland, ireland, Canada
and United States.

McVey had made good early show
ing.
Johnson now has a good string Of VIC
tories TO his cert. He has scored over
George Gardner and has demonstrated
his ability to beat the colored men in
his class. He is stilI suggested as the
strongest opponent for Jeffries now on
the boards. There is nor a chance for
the colored heavyweight, however. JEFF
rles will not fight him, and II Johnson
gathers any more glory It will have to
be over men other than the champion.
Johnson IL said TO be crude fighter
with a great amount Of strength, Geo
Gardner explained his failure to beat
Johnson by saying that the coored man
had too much weight for him. John
son, according to Gardner, depends up
on his size and strength to rush In and
land a blow by main force and then
clnch He repeats these tactics time
after time, not giving an opponent
chance to do anything. That such tao
