much Of the farm work as we We're

Mother never kept any money In

bank nearer than ten miles, and, in the
second. she wouldn't have known how
to keep a bank account.
one day, one Of our horses having
died, mother went to town TO buy an
other. At the time one farm hand was

RED LIGHTERS.
Tramps Who Are Camp Followers Of the
Circus.

'eRed Lighters are numerous in the
lower section Of Denver, and last night
they were very noticeable on the streets
between Larimer and the depot.
In explanation il might be wise to ex-
plain that a red lighter is a hobo or
tramp who makes a profession OF beat
ing circus trains as they travel about
the country They are the most persist
ent evil with which the detectives in
charge of big circus companies have to
deal.
The ared lighter" gets his name from
the fact that when discovered riding on
a circus train he is put off at the red
signal light by which the train is obliged
to run slowly.
Although all sections OF the big circus
trains are cleared OF tramps before they
came into Denver, those So elected came
in late yesterday on freights and will
attempt to ride on circus trains ou5. Of
town. Owing to the fact that the circus
stops at all big cities from one day to
a week, the "red lighters" who have
been marooned have ain opportunity dur
ing the stop to again catch up with the
show. They are an INDECENT lot Of hoboes
and in many instances refuse work hum
dreds OF times during the circus season.
A circus train, made up as it is mostly
OF long, low truck cars, affords an ex-
eeIlent opportunity for the hoboes, and
they will store themselves away in the
most unheard Of places among the circus
property and traps. The car where the
hundreds Of yards Of canvas constituting
the "big topn is stored is the favorite
hiding out place for the ''red lighters
They stow themselves away on the can
vas wagons and among the canvas, find.

as the outcome of Saturday nights ses-
sion, at which action was taken, after
hearing the recommendations of the
committee Of il in regard to new rates,
The report reafirmed and defended the
May action, and recommended that no

The committee further recommended
an amendment providing that any mem
