with the advent of summer the an

place" said Henry Brundage, of Rhine
lander. to Milwaukee Sentinel writer.
Il have just returned from a western
trip and the number of tramps travel
ing toward the western farming coun-
try is astonishing. The train men told
me that the migration is apparently
larger this year than ever before, but
whether this is an indication of pros
perity or is on account Of the presiden-
tial year l cannot say. Every freight
train has its quota and the life of the
train crews Is a hard one. Many of
these hoboes go to the farms for per-
haps month and get together enough
money to last them through the season,
their chief expense Of course being for
whiskey and tobacco. Then after they
get through work they hit the road
again and in the winter take up their
quarters wherever they choose"

The country is far more mountainous

with great freedom. Perhaps the

BEAUTIES or The ARCTIC.
Dssolats Though the Frosen Gsa Il,
Il Il Not Altogethsr Lack
Ing In Attractions.

One Of the most vivid descrip-
tions Of arctic scenery ever
penned 10 given by Harry De
Windt in his book, "Paris to New
York by Land" In it he gives the
following picture of the Arctic
sea:
"Place piece of coal sprinkled
with salt on a white tablecloth, a
few inches off it scatter some
lump sugar, and it will give you
in miniature very fair present
ment, of the scenery. The coal is
the bleak coast line, continually
swept clear Of snow by furious
gales; the sugar, sea ice, and the
cloth frozen beach over which we
journeyed for over 100 miles.
The dreary outlook never
changed; occasionally the cliffs
vanished and our way would lie
across the tundras - marshv
plains-which in summer encircle
the Polar sea with a belt of YER
dure and wild flowers, but which
in winter time are merged with
the frozen ocean in one boundless,
bewildering wilderness of white.
In hazy weather land and sky
formed one impenetrable veil
with no horizon as dividing line
when, even at a short distance
away, men and dog sleds resem
bled flies crawling up white cur
tain.
"But on clear days, unfortun
ately rare, the blue sky was Med
| iterranean, and at such times thu
bergs out at sea would fash like
| jewels in the full blaze of the sun
shine, while blocks of dark greer
| ice, half buried in snow under
shadow of the cliffs, would appear
| for all the world like "cabochon'
emeralds dropped into mass O
whipped cream. But the reverse
OF this picture was depressing il
the extreme. For on cloudy day
/ the sun would assume dull lead
en- appearance, and the sea ice be
come a slate gray, with dens
banks of woolly, white fog enci1
| cling the dismal scene. Fair an,
foul weather in the arctic remind

and laughter, and the same diviI

NO MORE QUAIL in ULSTER
Two Hard Winters In Succession BE-
lieved to Have Kxtermin-
z atsd An OF Them.

The game constables through Ulster
county, N. Y. will not have much
trouble to protect the quail this season
to- the reason that there are no quail to
protect Two seasons ago the whistle of
the Bob White could be heard right In
the streets of Kingston, but this year no
quail are seen in the county. The writer
rode through the country for several
miles few days ago and made in
Quiry from the farmers concerning the
condition Of the quail, and the invariable
answer was that none had been seen or
heard this season. It is believed that the
two very hard winters experienced in
the past two years have frozen to death
and exterminated the quail.
