Recent discoveries seem 10 show that each of the larger planets is ac- companied by bands of satellites rela- lively smaller than the miner planets, as the primaries are smaller than the sun.

SOME HOBO GAMES
HOW OUR LEISURE" CLASS
 TAKES IN MONEY.
Profitable Occupations Requiring Blu. Little Exertion-Hign ign-Class Hobo Lives Well-Comparisons of
 Two Kinds of Graft.

There are hobos and hobos' cast in this world which separates strictly. Members perhaps lowest down in the social scale are those known as punk buns, the fellows that loaf on public benches and beg for their bread, expect little above that-"punk' means bread, and bum, of course, does not need interpretation.
 self-respecting hobo lives quite well; never pays less than 15 cents for his bed, and wants good clean one; he gets 8 good breakfast at the right place for ten ceHts-coffee. a great bowl of it, bread and butter, oatmeal, and some kind of hot meat On Sunday for lo cents he can dine sumptuously with a bowl of soup, a roast O. chicken or nut ton or beef. peas or beans rice pudding and coffee.
 The conservative hobo does not eat more than two meals day, not want ing food to spoil his appetite for drink. A correspondent of the Washington Star was told by one of the gentlemen referred to. that a hobo of his class could live well on two dollars a day; the meals and bed costing as above, and a good dollar and half left for drink for himself and friends; for liquor is meat, drink and family to the hobo, absolutely indispensable.
 In the interview granted the Star by this high parsonage. he gave some in- teresting information concerning the means of subsistence of the better fed and housed hobo. which information does not make for any increase for faith in the unfortunate looking specimens of humanity one sees peddling in the down town streets of a large city; but it may be the interview was treating the in terviewer to a good story without un- due regard for veraeity; and il goes without saving that not all the anfor- tunate looking that Try to eke out sub sistence in a little trading, are gross

impOstors. too many eases have come to light where their efforts met with but a starvation returR-they keep to it simply as the only means of getting some daily bread. However. in this brief article we shall speak only of the imp0stors.
 A hobo that for some reason or oth- CT has grown weary of the road perhaps has met with an accident in a stolen ride and rendered unfit for further ad- venture of that sort uses his wits to the best advantage he knows in working the people of one city is a retired hobo. For awhile he will try the one arm dodge said to be very profitable He puts his arm in the top of his trous- CTS a friend straps il tight 10 his body, and out upon the street the poor wretch goes 10 make the appeal of an empty sleeve. Probably he viii not have 10 make any plea in words An empty sleeve speaks for itself. and if if be the right arm that is missing, the pathos is greatly enhanced Every passer-by, no matter how hardened and unsympa- thetic. will be touched by that fact Ones good right arm, Poor fellow and quick the pity takes expression in gift in a few hours the hobo feels a mil lionaire
 A green hand maybe will fix up his left arm but learns by sad experience one may starve that way. and ere long the left sleeve is substantially rounded out. the right hangs limp and empty The communicative hobo quoted. told of other remuneratiye graft. and in de- fense of the methods employed by his fraternity instaneed frauds common in high life spoke of the rich fellows who retire after they have all the graft they want. and condemned them thus as com pared with his kind "Theylive off what they say is their own money when they retire. while We retired hobos live off other peoples money and are honest enough 10 say so.
 He instanced the easy manner in which he made five dollars one evening. He would aecost a man with: Mister, can you tell me where | can get a five, cent bed? The man would think here now is a plucky fellow; no beggar. ana toss him a quarter with the remark: 'This1l settle the matter for you ' And he told of the watch game; a cheap watch is bought and engraved on the case a testimonial something like this: Presented to John Smith by James Brown in grateful acknowledgement of his gallantry in saving my daughter in a runaway June F, 1904" Armed with the watch. the owner enters saloon after the pawnshops are closed and generally he is able To dispose of it to man that supposes he is getting good thing very cheap The hobo rejoices over the money obtained and finds ma l licious mirth in the fact that bargainer has been fooled
 Street peddling is very remunerative l to some of the hobos though occasional- ly we hear of suicide of some strug- i gling cripple that has failed to make a l living with his shoe string wares and lead pencil stores. Perhaps the hobo with his made-up wretchednesS. has driven him out Of business.

HONEST PHYSICIAN
Works with Himself First.

It Is a mistake to assume that physi- clans are always skeptical as 10 the curative properties of anything else than drugs.
 Indeed, the best doctors are those who seek to heal with as little use of drugs as possible and by the use of correct food and drink. A physician writes from Calf. to tell how he made well man of himself with Natures remedy:
 Before I came from Europe, where I was born," he says, it was my GUS tom to take coffee with milk (cafe au laiD with my morning meal, small cup (cafe noir) after my dinner and two or three additional small cups at my club during the evening.
 Tn time nervous symptoms deyel- oped. with pains in the cardiac region. and accompanied by great depression of spirits. espondency-in brief. the blues! at first tired medicines, but got no relief and at last realized that all my troubles were caused by coffee I thereupon quit it's use forthwith, substituting English Breakfast Tea
 The tea seemed 10 help me at first. but in time the old distressing symp- toms returned, and I quit it also, and tried to use milk for my table bever- age This I was compelled however to abandon speedily for while it relieved the nervousness somewhat, it brought on constipation Then by happy inspiration I was led to try the Postum Food Coffee. This was some months ago and I still use it. am no longer nervous. nor do I suffer from the pains about the heart, while my blues have left me and life is bright to me once more.

 My stomach was ill bad shape, and l had smothering sensations. At such times my body seemed bloodless, my hands were like chalk and my face turned yellow. The doctor said l had dyspepsia in the worst form. Then my nerves gave way and l was completely prostrated I frequently suffered from smothering sensations.
