whether founded on fact or not, is a
valuable weapon and this Sweden delib-
erately cast away when she asked for
referendum. The only explanation
seemed to be that sincere desire for
a peaceful and mutually satisfactory
settlement had arisen in Sweden, and
that the referendum offered, the best
pathway to such an agreement.
Great Wave Of Enthusiasm.
The tremendous wave of enthusiasm
that swept over Norway just preceding
and during the referendum and result
ing in 100000 yeas to a paltry 200 nays,
is a phenomenon worth describing. Mr..
Bjornson, in one of his finest poems,
compares the rise of popular enthusi-
asm to the soft breath Of the air,
which, whispering at midsummertime
thru the cornfelds, grows to a storm
roaring thru the roofs Of the forests,

enforced. The result will be complete
fair on opening day. The Minnesota
state fair management has the habit
of standing by it's promises; it will do
so in this case.
Already the cities are filing up and
Monday morning will see great throng
on hand ready for the opening and the
Dan Patch event in the afternoon. Spe-
cial trains will come in Monday morn
the cities. The railroads have had no.
tice that a crowd is coming and will
add heavily to their equipment to take
care of the visitors.
Will Dan Clip His Record?
On the part of the fair management
and the owner and trainer of Dan Patch
everything possible is being done to
make the event great success. The
racetrack has been worked over until
it is in prime condition and is unhesi-
tatingly pronounced by horsemen to be
the fastest on the American continent.
M. W. Savage, owner of Dan Patch, is
very confident that the great PAGER
will clip little off his world s record
of a1:56. Several times lately Dan has
gone mile in little over two min
utes without any urging from Driver
atia speed. that would equal mile in
1855, or one second better than his
record. He is in the best condition pos
sible, extremely well-trained and look
ing as if he could get down to 1854
without excessive effort.
This event will be the greatest track
event of the season in the northwest
and possibly the greatest event of the
year or any year. a second or SC

will show stacks Of the finest butter

ratus; the poultry building will make
itself heard at a distance; the Won

and the great agricultural hall will be
filed to overfowing with the products
Of Minnesota fields and orchards. All
these things are worth seeing.
In actual amusements there will be
no lack as the full daily program at
the grand stand will be carried out for
afternoon and evening. This program
complete for Monday is as below:

Other Things Doing Monday.
While Dan Patch will hold popular
attention on Monday, there will be
plenty else to see and do. All the de-
partments, will be open for inspection
at 9 IN. The cattle. display will be
the finest ever seen at any state fair.

4 The referendum on the ques-

Sweden and promptly granted
by Norway, has resulted-as every
Norwegian knew it would-in a
tremendous and overwhelming declara-
tior. It was obvious to all who had
the slightest knowledge of the character
and sentiments of the Norwegian people
that this would be the result. This
fact must have been known in Sweden
and the leaders here were at loss to
account for what looked like serious
tactical error On the part of Sweden in
calling for the referendum. Nothing
was more certain than that the govern

States and it is not uncommon to hear
two veterans discuss the relative mer-
its OF two water tanks two thousand
miles away. Let town in Maine be
mentioned and there will be a half
dozen of them who know all about it
and they are ready to talk about the
chances of eating in some remote
Louisiana parish. Distance and time
are nothing TO them. Of time they
have a lifetime and persistent riding
or walking will overcome. any distance.
Most of them will steal and some of
them are known in police circles as
''yeggmen," which means a sort of a
low caste crook, the kind that robs
country banks and pays no regard to
the Bankers Protective association.
The tramp is not necessarily crook,
however, although many crooks are
tramps and the majesty OF the law
seldom takes time to differentiate,
even If such a thing were possible. AS
a general rule their thefts are Of the
petty sort. looting chicken coops and
gardens for something TO eat or
''mooching'' some article that is tempt
ingly close and unguarded.

apparel that of the outcast, but let
someone throw down an argument on
something that calls for education and
knowledge, and the past life comes out.
Most tramps are great readers and
old newspapers are eagerly grabbed up
together with books of all sorts. They
are not all the filthy beings that the
word tramp eonjures. A tramp just in
after a long ride on the rods is bound
to be dusty and travel stained, as
would the most fastidiOus gentleman
of the land IL he went through the
same experience, but public opinion to
the contrary, they are generally anx-
ious TO get a chance to wash up
Nearly all of them carry a shaving out
fit. A razor hanging from their neck
with a piece Of string, a fragment Of a
looking glass, brush made out of a
short end of a manila rope, with a
knot for a handle serves to do the
work. Many OF them are much better
dressed than the average workman, if
for no other reason than that il serves
to impress the housewife when the re-
quest for food is made.
The popular conception of the tramp

is tatters and dirt and when a man
wearing a good suit of clothes knocks
at the back door the tender hearted
lady of the house" Immediately con-
cludes that he is some person in tenn
porary hard luck and willingly feeds
MIN, whereas If she thought he were q
tramp she would set the dog on him.
Then again, rags always attract at
tention. and municipal attention is the
one thing the tramp does not court. A
good suit of clothes can pass a POI
hceman half dozen times, where tat
tiers wouldn't get by once. Is
All trades and professions are repre-
scented in the ranks and many an i'm
genious mind and cunning hand can
be found. A tramp passing a harvest
field will steal ball of binding Irvine
from the farmer and in a day or two
he is ready to sell unique door mat
that he has woven by hand.
Among a crowd of tramps will al
ways be found some honest worker,
who is short of money and trying to
move to new fields. He is usually
quiet and sober and anxious to APP
pear as one Of their number No
questions are ever asked, every man
judging by his own past that there
are many incidents which had better
not be recalled. AS there is an un-
ending stream of them pouring over
tie country III al QlreCIlOnS at one
time, they change comrades nearly
every day and seldom have time to get
intimate. They cut their initials and
the date wherever they stop, and usu-
ally supplement this information with
an arrow pointing in the direction
which they are going. Some water
tanks along the main travelled railroads
are literally covered with all sorts OF
characters Some are merely scratched,
while others are deliberately engraved. :
They travel along until the summer
wanes. and as the nights begin to grow
too chilly for sleeping out doors they
head by for Chi York "Cinci,"
Frisco" Sam Louie or whatever city
that comes nearest to being their ideal
for winter quarters.
Thus they go from year to year, dy-
ing off fast from exposure and dissipa-
ton. but always with recruiting ranks.
There are always some dropping down
from the upper walks of life and the
youth with the rowing disposition and
desire to see the world adds to their
number. State and municipal legisla-
ton is hurled at them in vain, for the
wanderluSt knows no law or tie.

preached Unfortunately, it is evident
that the tramp seeking his "handout"
or his ''sit down" actually performs
enough useless labor to more than pay
for his meals. when they are coming
on the average.
Barred in Some Towns
Meals do not run TO form any more
than horses. and there are long
stretches when cold vittles" are not
forthcoming. Certain unfortunate
towns have been pestered so long and
regularly that even the most deserv-
ing case Of restitution and starvation
would not receive any consideration.
They simply have to make a rule to
give nothing and abide by it. without
exception. in order that the locality
may get a name among the tramps
and be passed by.
The tramp. il he Is sober, generally
has a quarter or half dollar about
him. as this insures him in many
places from the vagrant drag net. Le-
galiy. price of a bed Is sufficient to
place a man above the vagrant class,
but In the larger cities the police pay
little or no attention to these minor
points of law, where a tramp Is con-
cerned. II he cannot give a good ac-
count of himself he goes to the rock
pile, to work until the guard thinks he
will remember the place, and then he
Is allowed TO escape. This escape
makes him fugitive. and forever aft
erwards he has an unexpired sentence
hanging over him in this place, which
will have a tendency to make him
keep going.
The tramp on the road likes to play

about towns and villages he becomes
gregarious, and If there Is any num-
Der OF them they soon set up a COM
munity base on the early Christian
simplicity ideal, where each shares
alike in the findings of the whole. A
railroad bridge conveniently distant

watertank. makes an ideal spot for
sojourn for two or three days. or as
long as the constables will permit.
They keep open house and every
bum Is welcomed and permitted TO

oOagabonds Of City -21foused BY Approach Of SPRING.

THE breezes of spring are laden with
wanderlust. Into every nook and
Granny they blow, bringing the
feeling of unrest and the love Of wan
dering into the breasts of those who.
during the long winter months, were
content with their surroundings and
willing to hibernate under more or less
civilized surroundings. Few, if any,
escape this feeling. Everyone is at
tackled more or less severely, and the
man Of business and the man with the
good job usually has will power enough
to overcome the disease and sufficient
good sense to remain where he is in
peace and plenty.
To the born rover the first breezes of
spring ring out loud and clear like a
bell calling the devout to worship.
Every sense recognizes and responds,
and the longing that wells up in his
heart to be UP and going browns out
all reason and forethought. Here the
migratory instinct is planted as deeply
as i'm the wild fowl that turns its head
unerringly towards the clear lakes of
the far north.
Tramp, hobo or yagabond, the dis
tinction is one of minor detail The
fundamental principle is the same.
There is voice off somewhere calling
him necessarily, and by his nature he
must ever come, passing through the
vicissitudes Of life as a philosopher or
pariah, always going and never arriv-
Ing. Life for him is an unending tread
mill, with the scenery fitting by In an
endless procession. Strange places and
stranger faces make but a slight and
blurred imprint on his mind. Trivial
incidents of the way stand out boldly
in relief, to- be discussed when cold
weather drives him to cover. Arrests,
convictions and rock piles constitute
most of the memorable incidents of
the wanderers career, and his life at
the best is a series of hardships and
humiliations, but, like the fanatic or
willing martyr, he bears them all with
a greater or less degree of fortitude,
and goes on his way.
Tramps Begin to Move
