remarked H. M. Mccartney, of the

ment, according to the San Francisco
Herald. "The people from whom you
are prepared to expect the most are
frequently deficient and disappointing.
1 met lady from Kentucky some time
ago. She was a school teacher. We
chatted on various topics, and, among
other things, she asked me:
"'Whom do you consider the great
est man Kentucky ever produced?'
"'There can't be any dispute about
that l replied. Abraham Lincoln
"'Aren't you mistaken she said.
Lincoln, you know, came from Illi-

"'Well,' said, in an excess Of gal

of the boy of IL who accompanied him

"That there?" said the boy. ''Oh,

and his audience wanted to hear more
of his adventures. The tourist" read
lily accepted an invitation to join in q
20 cent meal, to which he did ample
justice. The listener, thinking he
would take no chances, suggested that
he would take some eggs.
81 wouldn't advise you to do it
here" said the hobo. can egg is like
woman's character. 1t must be
strictly good, or it isn't any good at
all. These restaurants do not supply
their patrons with the best eggs, but
buy from the cold storage warehouses,
where they can buy cheap. 1t is a
healthy hen that can lay good eggs
in August"
"You seem we'll posted on the res
taurants of this city," said the listen
err. Are there many that give a
wholesome meal at reasonable
prices?"
Eyes. l may say that the majority
of them do. In fact, they will aver
age very we'll with most large cities.
There are number of popular priced
restaurants over the river that serve
better food, but they are in locations
where they can depend upon a large
trade.
"The genus hobo is a large factor
in the patronage of majority of the
all-night places. The tramp is too
lazy to even eat in the daytime, and
what he does eat he usually begs. In
the morning he seldom has a cent.
He gets a breakfast at some back
door, maybe, and then he rests all
day. At night he 'cadgers,' or begs,
from men who appear to be well fed
and good natured, and it is perhaps
far into the night before he has the
price for meal. If, after he has had
ali he wants to drink, he has enough
money left, he spends it for sub
stantial meal. But it is usually drink
first, and then eat, for a man who
has the price of drink can always
get enough free lunch to last him.
Genus Tramp Is Not
Very Frequent Guest.
But Brooklyn all-night restaurants
are freer from the genus tramp than
those of any city 1 have visited. In
the summer, particularly, the best
patronage of such places comes from
parties who have spent the evening

careworn Knight Of the
Road Seeks His Supper.
At the door of this place was no.
ticed queer specimen of humanity,
who had shuffied in from somewhere
out of the black night. He stopped in
front of the place and read the at
tractive offer that was portrayed on
the banner. AS the stroller conclud-
ed reading he thrust his right hand
into a pocket of his frayed trousers.
OF years he had perhaps attained 40,
and the finger of time had not dealt
gently with him, for his face was
scanned with wrinkles and he looked
careworn. His clothing was tattered
and his linen-if a grimy shirt that
had not seen laundry in some weeks
might be so dignified-had seen long
usage; his straw hat had great rents
ed an occasional lock of rusty, I'M
kempt hair; his coat was shiny and
worn at the cuffs and elbows; the bot
toms of his trouser legs, too, were
badly frayed and "scuffed' out by the
frequent contact of his ankles, and
through holes in a pair of mismated
shoes could be seen more than sus-
picion of bare toes. His beard was
unkempt and his hands and face were
guiltless of any recent acquaintance
with soap and water.
After a moments meditation the
hobo drew his hand from his pocket,
deposited it's contents into his left
hand and then began systematic
search of his other pockets. The re-
suit was % cents, lead medal, part
of package of cigarettes and sus-
pender buckle. He slowly counted his
cash assets and returned the other
articles to his pockets. His resources
were more than sufficient to pay for
the meal which he plainly had in con-
temptation, but he hesitated as he
looked again at the money.

"Terry?" asked Policeman Flynn,
without any great display Of interest.
Err sure" replied Mrs. Flynn,
scornfully. "Why dye ask thin fool
questions? Have we amy other?"
"'Tis you that sh'u'd know" retort-
ed Policeman Flynn. And then he
added: "Was he licked?"
He was not" answered Mrs. Flynn,
with emphasis.
"'Tis good thing FIR him." assert
ed Policeman Flynn. 'If he'd got wan
lickin', there'd be another due him."
"F'r why?" demanded Mrs. Flynn.

"The tough waiter, too, is practic-

be so distinctive of walters to give
their orders in a vernacular of their

translated it: "A stack of whites wit
