Tranps on Their Travels.
Nm York Times.

Ael0 IOTE a tHteS.
1t has long been known that the number of
tramps would be vastly decreased il the rail-
ways took effective precautions to keep the
worthless wanderers off their freight trains.
For, If this were done, the difficulties of tramp
life would be increased to such an extent that
it would become impossible for many Of them,
while from many others the desperate expedl-
ent of going to work would receive an amount
transportation to any part of the country is in
the mild hardships of travelling in box car
or on a bumper. 1t is now reported, however,
that the professional tramps are making
regular business of robbing and numbering the
more decent passengers who adopt their own
means of moving from town to town-the men
who, while really in search of employment,
are not too scrupulous to save their few dollars
by "beating" the railways. That this is
regular business is no doubt an exaggeration,
but there have been several such cases along
the line of the New York Central, and pre-
sumably they are occurring elsewhere. for, &C
cording TO good authority, this sort OF travel
is very heavy. and it is a fact that one or more
tramps are killed or injured almost as often as
a freight train is wrecked. 1t evidently be-
hooves the railway companies to do something
effective to prevent this misuse of their faclll-
ties. OF course. none of them wants to provide
free transportation for tramps, for the class is
everywhere dangerous nuisance, but to keep
them of means q lot of unpleasant work for
the train crews and perhaps an increase in
their size, and that, in turn, means an increase
of expense.

how to Break a Stan kicker.

SUCCESSFUL Farming.
The chronic stable kicker, aside from being
a nuisance, causes much damage and often in
jures other animals. To break him of the
habit, fill grain sack half full of sand and
swing from ceiling with rope, so sack will hang
where heels of horse will have good play upon
it. Tie him firmly in the stall with heavy,
stout rope. AT the first kick the bag will swing
away, often as high as the ceiling, if kicked
squarely. 1t will then return and give him as
good as ne sent. This will lead to general
the sack of sand will hold its own, returning
all he sends. with considerable interest He
will soon find that he is mp against losing
proposition, and, learning this will be thor.
oughly cowed. Leave the sack behind him
should at any time show any tendency to re-
turn to his old habit of kicking, arrange the
sack as before and the cure will be final. sKs.s

Protecting Our Birds.

american HOlleS ana HU3QenS.
The movement for the protection of birds in
America has long since assumed formidable
proportions. Much of the credit for the work
accomplished is due to the Audubon societies.
which exist in thirty-five states, and which for
a number of years have carried on an active
work for the conserving of bird life. The re-
suits accomplished are considerable. A "model
law" drawn up by the American ornitholo
gists' union, is now in force in thirty states
and the District of Columbia. The Lacey law
excludes from interstate commerce all birds
killed illegally in any state, and makes those
legitimately killed subject to the law of the
state in which they are bought. Laws pro-
hibiting the sale of game even when killed in
season, look toward the same end of conserv-
ing bird life. Public attention has been aroused
on the subject, and even the manufacturer of
air rifles no longer calls attention to the fact
that they kill small game within short dis
tances. Absolute protection has not yet been
given the birds everywhere. but great and
important work has been begun and is being
well carried forward.

Woodchuck as a Family Pet,

An odd pet is owned by Brunswick family.
1t is two-year-old woodchuck, which has be-
come very tame. He lives in hole near the
cellar of the house. and always comes out when
the skimming of the milk going on, in which
he appears to be very much interested. Sep
TENDER 25th, 1905. he seemed to be very sleepy
and disappeared, and nothing further was seen
of him until Fast Day, when he reappeared.
He had been in state of Information for seven
months and one day. He was very glad to see
the family and was in very good flesh despite
his long winters sleep.

Got the Mitten, Built a Mill.


1.-The finest mill in the world is the one on
Gaudaloupe Creek, in San Jose, CAL" said d.
M. Hendricks, Minneapolis miller. ut was
built by James Lick as a result of his having
gotten the mitten from young girl when he
was young man. Lick came from Penn
sylvania, where he loved the daughter of q
miller. He sought the hand of the young
woman, but the miller gruffly turned him
down with the statement that it was not the
girl he sought so much as the grist mill. Lick
angrily replied that the old mill was no good
that he didn't want it and that some day he
would build a good mill and make it out of
mahogany. He went into South America,
drifted into California and made fortune.
He made good his threat by building a mill
entirely out of hardwood. 1t has been profit
able mill, also. Lick never married"
ONE OF the principal addresses at the annual
meeting of the State Bar Association at Ocean
City this week was by Mr.. J. ]. Donaldson on
the subject of "The Laws Deay-Some of lis
Reasons With Suggested Remedies" Con-
GLIDING the speaker said Among the causes
of delay we of the bar must admit that we our.
selves are often much to blame. How much
the dispatch of public business is hindered by
the often exaggerated courtesies of counsel it
would be hard to say, but it certainly is to an
apprecable extent. One phase of it might be
bettered should continuances upon consent of
counsel cease to be matter ofcourse. Another
might be remedied by requiring the court of
its own motion to enter defaults 1t is, how
ever, perhaps at the trial table that more time
is wasted than at any other stage OF litigation.
The delay due to other causes may be mitiga-
ted possibly by following out some Of the
methods already suggested or in some other
way, but the time spent in the examination
of witnesses as to matters with no real bearing
on the issues, and in discussion of immaterial
questions or of those that are free from genuine
doubt must be laid at our own door. To sum
up the whole matter, much help as may come
from certain minor reforms that have been
suggested, the prime needs of our condition
would seem to be two-the checking of frivol-
Gus and vexatious actions and defenses and a
return to a more vigilant and frmer control
of trials by the bench"
