tn. TRAMP. East ,na WEE.

When I say that the average tramp
does not understand Trampland, 1t will
be readily understood that the average
sociologist. tentatively dabbling, does
not and cannot understand Triumphant.
A single instance Of this should suffice.
Now. 1t is notorious that eastern
tramps do not know how to railroad"
The tramp whose habitat has been con-
fined to the east and south can no more
"hold down" train In spite OF .hors-
tile" crew than can he step Into Rocke,
feiler's office and ''hold down" stand
ard Oil. Conditions do not demand it.
He Is not trained to II. The crews are
rarely "horstile." Speaking out Of my
own experience, have been but twice
put of trains between the Mississippi
and the Atlantic ocean, while west OF
the Mississippi have been put off and
thrown or and beaten off more times
than I can recoilect-Jack London In

First Grcenina Apple Tree.


The American Cultivator says that
the original Greeniag apple tree is still
standing on the farm Of Solomon
browne at Mount Hygeia. In North
Foster, Il. 1. The tree was a very old
one when the farm was sold In 1901.
The seller Informed the purchaser that
1t was pity the old tree was going to
decay. as 1t produced the best fruit Of
any tree In the orchard. The purchaser
determined to see how long he could
keep 1t alive. and 1t still survives after
almost another century has been added
to Its venerable years. But 1t shows
signs OF 6nal decay. and the parent Of
all the famous Rhode Island Greenings.
which has set Its CRAFTS on the orchards
OF almost all the world, will soon bs

The Southern Wax

your northern girls may have the
style and all that sort of thing" said
southern gentleman to n northern
gentleman the other day, "but our
girls have the breeding" And. indeed.
says the Boston Transcript. southern
manners and southern courtesy are a
different fabric from that which is
known In our strenuous social and In
dustrial life. Take. for instance. the
southern way of issuing invitations.
Instead OF intrusting them haphazard
to the mail by careless messenger
the southern girls I'LL the family ear
riage with their girl friends and a
generous hamper OF lunch, to be en-
1oyed en- route. making pleasant
days outing, while stopping along the
way TO leave the invitations for the
forthcoming festivity. 1t Is a delicate
personal attention almost unknown to
northern customs.

ABOUT RUNAWAY MATCHES
How the Road Parents Are Forced
Into tbc ,alae, Willy NilIy.

Ho" the h"ae sorcpts Are Forced
Into tbc ~alae, willy Nilly.
From the point of view of competent
observers the distinctive feature of the
elopenScnts OF very young people.
which are so common I'm American lira,
Is that. paradoxically enough. the par
ents OF the contracting parties have SO
much 10 do with them.
They are not supposed to have any
thing TO do In the premises. but n run
away match brings them face to face
unexpectedly with series OF emotions
ana experiences. A lad OF nineteen or
twenty and girl OF seventeen mate of
sudden with as little consultation of
their parents wishes and as little pro-
vision or thought for the future as IL
they were tenants of a hen yard in
stead or occupants Of world which
Tor the best reasons has prescribed a
certain way, time for doing things.
Having found clergyman to unite
them, they go to near by town or a
neighboring hotel and wait. They have
taken the irrevocable step. but they
nave no idea what to do next There
Is where the parents step in.
In Opponents it Is the privilege of
the American parent to forgive his son
or daughter, to welcome the runaway
couple back to his home, to give them
the freedom OF the house. to install
them after little In fat of their
own and defray the rent OF 1t, to find
the son-in-iaw a paying job and to in
struct the daughter-in-law sufficiently
In the rudiments of housekeeping SO
that she will know when the kettle
boils. Public opinion cheerfully sup
ports the parent in these little over
lures to his offspring and, indeed, ex-
poets them as. his duty. The runa-
ways accept them as their right
All of which goes to show the COM
plete and shameful abdication which
some American parents make to their
children 1t is wholesome doctrine
that young people shall suit themselves
in marrying and. at the last resort,
follow their own inclination and judg-
ment, even when they run counter to
the parental preference. But the lead
ings of the doctrine do not Justify
them In contracting clandestine attach
ments or in insisting on their own way
Immediately when the objection of
their parents Is merely that they are
too young and would better wait
awhile or in declaring n browning dis
respect to the father who begot and
the mother who bore them and making
a spectacle of them In the eyes of the
world by marrying without even ap-
prising them of their purpose or giving
them chance to look over the young
person they are about TO bring into the
family.
There Is a fine old commandment
which enjoins "Honor thy father and
thy mother" In few ways could q
son or daughter more dishonor them
than by fiouting or ignoring them at
the most significant and intimate mo-
ment that life holds. There is good
ground for all the bitterness that a
parent must feel ut such a juncture-
a bitterness rendered dopbly acslte by
the reflection that his own needless
trust and indulgent kindness had
brought about such pass and that IL
was his own blood that had turned
away from him.-New York Mail and

His Last Trim.

A pathetic iuc:dept Of an old horse OF
Ipswich, Mass, formerly owned by an
expressman. Is related by the Boston
Herald:
On account Of his age and debility
the old horse had been taken from work
and turned outon farm to Craze. One
day he made bis appearance. unattend-
ed, mt the railway station, backed into
position as IL he had an express wagon
behind him and waited as in the old
days
Shortly after the train arrived the
old horse went slowly away to the vii
iage. where he backed up to the express
office az had been his custom for years
Then. after reasonable time. he start
ed up the road toward the farm and
later i'm the day was found dead by the
roadside

A ChiId.s Pathetic Plea.

George Francis Train sat one spring
morning In Union square. as was his
custom. surrounded by children to
whom, contrary to his attitude toward
adults, he was always affable and
agreeable. On the outside OF the group
surrounding Mr.. Train stood a small
coiored girl looking wistfully at the
white children who were receiving all
his attention and hearing his wonder
full tales. After they had dispersed
and Mr.. Train was alone, the black
thild advanced timidly and said to him,
do you love childrenT Looking at
his questioner In some surprise, Mr..
Train admitted that he did. Then In
low voice she said, IL am q child"
