TRAINSIEN LOCK TRAAIPs IN CAR
From the Yelling and Swearing They
Were Enjoying Themselves.

lola, Kan, June 5.-Two carloads Of
tramps locked in box cars, passed
through one day last week on a. north
bound Santa Fe freight. The train
crew first discovered them between
independence and Chanute, and owing
to there being such a large number Of
them it was thought advisable to seal
the cars, and give them the trip OF
their lives and judging from the yell
ing and swearing they were INDUCING
in, when the train stopped here, they
were surely enjoying themselves. It
was thought that there were about
twenty in each car, and the train men
said they would carry them to Kansas
City and release them. When the
tramps learned they were at lola, a
majority of them wanted to be re-
leased here, but the officers told the
crew to take them on, as lola did not
need them.

COOTS D|SpORT IN
KAP|OLAN| LAGOON

The visitor to Kapiolani Park after
an absence Of say q couple of years
finds much changed and this state Of
affairs is emphasized, be he a student
OF the filmed and feathered creatures
of nature which have in the past made
the reservation their home.
Where, however. the great catfish
(oopu pake). the gorgeous golden carp
and the lithesome mullet seem to
have grievously disappeared, the coot,
their ever constant companion, re.
mains. a link connecting the present
modernized park with that which ex.
listed when the honored name of IA.
piolani was first bestowed upon II and
Il afforded refuge to many species Of
feathered wanderers whose presence
It would be In vain to look for today
Visit the park at any hour OF the
day and attention will be arrested by
harsh, grating cry that appears to
come from the lagoon. Look closely
In the direction of the sound adm you
will see its originator, q slate.colored
bird about the size Of teal duck
strutting smong the matted mass OF
water hyaclnths In restless hunt at
ter the myriads OF tiny snails and ami
malculae with which the vegetation
covering the surface Of the lagoon
abounds.
Steal closely toward the edge Of the
lake, keeping palm between you and
the bird the while, and you may OBJ
serve 1t at your ease. The crimson
protuberance at the base OF the beak
the olive green legs, and the white tai
feathers are easily discernible.
Bah! There he goes. He has seer
you and is scurrying over the surface
with feet pailing the water In the d.
rection Of a clum of bushes, in which
he disappears.
His mate is undoubtedly bidder
there, perhaps guarding reedy nes'
In which repose dozen creamy eggs
splashed with brown. Sometimes both
may be seen exploring their hunting
ground together.
A stones throw away Is the keep
er's cottage and close at hand the cleo
trio cars roar by. Still the coot re
mains. Indifferent to the hand of prog
ress and dwelling contented In worls
Of unmolested, good living.
