\ HOBO'S FRIEND At COURT.

At hast and at last the hobo has
found a friend at court, In the season
when warm foods are not required for
comfort and the birds sing in the parks
and the breezes pattern the shade with
slow waving sun patches, the hobo
lot is palliated almost to the point Of
being paradise except for one monster
Of his discomfort. This fly in the hap
piness of DhiloSophic peace has been
the move-on cop. The hobo must
sleep. In fact. sleep is his END. tie
wakes only when he must eat When
the refore in his dreams he hearS the
approach of the heaVy-footed police
man. he starts like a baby running
from the bogey man. If, perchance,
he runs upon the actually. he is poked
in the ribs and commanded to move
on or else Transported from the sweet
and star-lit couch in the open to an
evil smelling station house. to wait his
sentence to hard labor. 1t is a cruel
law. destructive of happiness.
Now, however. there is a court on
the hobos' side. In diacharging tWen-
ty-fivc men arrested for sleeping in the
parks. Magistrate Flynn, of New York.
said:
Il believe the parks ought to be
opened to the poor in the cOngeSted
districts of the city during the summer
months. The parks belong to the peo-
pie anyway. and should be so used as
to give the greatest benefit to the peo-
pie In the congested districts sleep i'll
the tenements becomes almost an i'm
possibility
I'm addition to the humanitarian
side it is advisable to allow the use OF
the parks from an economical stand
pOin. BY depriVing the poor OF the only
chance they have OF getting refreshing
sleep illness is greatly increased and
the city put to large expense" also
expressing in addition his intention of
calling the matter to the attention of
the park commissioner.
When the bars are indeed let down,
the parks will be like to a battlefield
by moonlight. From every bench,
now for the most part given up to the
frank courtships of those of the peO-
pie too enamoured to think of rest,
there Will protrude a pair of feet no
longer shrinking from the "billy" and
there will come a Sound of many sleep
ers. fancy free and unafraid intOning
a mingled chant of blissful uncon-
sciousness to the magic name of Flynn
When the Duke Of Argyle estab-
lished his scratching posts in Scotland
at every crossroads the sturdy kilters
threw aside their tartans. bent their
knees. insinuated the stiff bristles of
the charity into the small of their
hlrsute backs and. between grunts, ex-
claimed with the fervor of apprecia-
ton: God bless the Duke Of Argyler'

DIETS FAMILY WAS ARMED.
Ready for Sawyer County Officers When
They Came.

HAYWARD. Wis, July 14.-The
story of the latest attempt to capture
Dietz of Cameron dam was told here
yesterday by the officers who failed in
their effort One of the deputies said
that they would have captured Dietz but
for the fact that two boys, sons of home
steaders near the farm of Dietz, let
Dietz know of their coming, and when
they arrived they found Dietz and his
entire family armed.
The deputies concluded that it would
be little use to try to get him, for his
farm is enclosed by fortresses made out
of logs and rocks, and there were many
places where Dietz and his family could
sit and pick off any one who tried to ar
rest him. The deputies salu that they
saw quite a number of boys and men go
to Dietz's place, and from their state
ments Dietz has many friends around
his farm, also at Winter, a town about
eleven miles distant, who inform him of
everything going on around the country.

The sermon was preached by Rev. 10

Some people go driving. Others tour in
their automobiles. Others are boating on

come up mere to see the baseball games
Now, I think that you all have the same
right to be here at this game as the man in

FEAR TOBACCO CRASH.
Widest Kind of Speculation in Badger
Crop According to Dealers at
Edgert0n.

EDGERTON, Wis, July 14.-[Spe-
cial. THAT a speculative craze of the
widest nature is gaining a foothold in
the tobacco trade of this state is becom-
ing each day more evident The old con-
sentative buyers fairly stand aghast at
the proposition of buying tobacco hard
ly rooted in the fields at prices far in ex-
cess of those paid in Wisconsin for some
years past. They can see only ultimate
disaster if such methods are persisted in.
If it were a month or six weeks later
and the crop was well on the road to-
ward maturity, there might be some ex-
cuse for an early rush to the fields. If
all reports are true, there it nothing at
tractive enough in the present condition
of the growing crop in the Vernon
county section, where the chase is the
warmest, to warrant the buying scram-
BILE now being enacted. If this field
buying ends in disaster, as many predict,
it must eventually mean a double loss,
not only in exhausting the resources of
the buyers, but the growers will surely
suffer in years to come.
