NEW BOUNDARIES
inspectors to Locate New Boundary Lines
 for Grazing on Forest Reserves

The secretary of the interior depart ment and the commissioner of the gen. eral land office have decided upon a system of inspection of forest reserves that is expected to overcome the chief source of complaint made against the creation of these reserves. Sheep owners have been making determined effort to be allowed the privilege of grazing their herds on the forest re- serves, and the department has exper- fenced much difficulty in enforcing the regulation against them. Investiga- tion shows that in the creation of these reserves much land wholly un- timbered, but suitable for grazing pur- poses, has been included within the limits of the forest reservations. It is proposed to send Louis A. Barrett to join Inspector Anderson in making thorough examination of the condi- tions. These inspectors will be au- thorized to locate and mark new boundary lines which will exclude from the reservations and make avail able for grazing purposes all lands that are not essential to forest pres- ervation.

in town. In the morning, after sleep
ing all night on the brick floors, they
are turned out into the cold world and
must spend the day hanging around
some saloon, venturing out now and
then to beg money of some kind-heart
ed passerby. Sometimes they shovel
snow, and once in awhile they carry
in coal, and now and then they ven
ture out to the ponds and rivers around
the city and in northern Illinois and
Wisconsin and work at cutting ice.
But the tramps do not relish working
in the ice fields any more than they
like working in the brickyards down
south, and after they get little money
they scurry back to Chicago and live
as long as they can on their savings,
and when that is done worry along
again until their dire distress drives
them back to work.
But now the good old summer time
is coming again, and the tramp re-
joices. In his dreams he sees again the
fields and woods, with the blazing
camp fire along the track, and smells
the chicken cooking in the oyster can.
In the summer he can sleep out of
doors without the horrible fear of
waking up and finding his feet frozen.
In summer he can lock himself in a
box car without wondering if he will
freeze solid before the car is opened
again. He can take trips down to
little country towns on circus days,
and reap a harvest of handouts, and
probably cake. In summer he doesn't
have to hang around police station
and beg his hereditary enemies to give
him shelter. Instead of the hard,
cold brick floor of police station, he
knows that within few short weeks
he can sink to rest on sweet smelling
clover in fine, large barn. In the
morning he can borrow some eggs from
a nest, and, wandering over to near
by woods, build his fire and cook a
dainty breakfast.
The summer time, with soft, languor-
Gus breezes, and starlit nights, and
nodding trees, and babbling brooks,
is the season that Wandering Willie
loves. And he looks for it, and waits
for it, and'yearns for the dear old sum-
mer time" and when it comes he re-
joices and 20 exceeding glad.

TRAMPS ARE JOYFUL.
With Gladness They Hail the Re-
turn of Gentle Spring.
Winter Always Is a Bitter season for
Weary Willie, But In the Good
Old Summer Time He En-
Joys Life.

There is some one who rejoices that
the good old summer time is almost
here again, even more than does the
gay jaybird, the merry meadowark, or
The festive bobolink. 1t is Dusty
Rhodes. And not only Dusty, but his
friends-Wanderin Willie, Meander-
ing Mike, Peregrinating Pete, and all
the rest of the family of the great un-
washed, commonly known as tramps.
The winter time, says the Chicago
Tribune, is bitter season to the genus
tramp. If he can he goes south; but
even down south, away down south,
sleeping out in January is no idle
dream. Besides, so many tramps
throng southward when the snow COM
mences to fall in the north that the
tramp industry in Dixie during the
winter time is terribly overdone. Town
marshals down south are cold and
heartless and unfeeling, and southern
town boards make horrible ordinances
to the effect that people win no visible
means of support shall be put to work
in the city brickyard. So many tramps
go south that there are members of
the profession working both sides of
the street all the way to New Orleans,
and there are not enough cold handouts
to go around.
So uninviting has been the southern
field during the last few years that
many tramps heroically prefer to re-
main in the north during the winter,
and take their chances of freezing to
ieath rather than to suffer the lingering
starvation and the horrible certainty
of working in the brickyard if they
stray to the other side of Mason and
DiXon's line.
So every winter thousands of tramps
remain during the cold season in all
the large cities of the north. Chicago
winters thousands of them. Every
freezing night finds hundreds of
tramps besieging every police station
