tractive offer that was portrayed on
the banner. AS the stroller conclud-
ed reading he thrust his right hand
into 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, un-
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 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 its contents into his LEFT
hand and then began a systematic
search Of his other pockets. The re
suit was 20 cents, lead medal, par
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 fol

WATERS. WONDERFUL

Brooklyn.-Nocturnal .ramblers in
this great city need never go home

title demanding food before they retire
and are fearful lest the pantry at
home will not furnish material for a

rants-places that never close their
doors. or course. that number is
small when compared with the list
OF all-night Joints" in Manhattan, but
Brooklyn Is essentially a city of
homes, and the wonder is that so
many places find 1t profitable to keep
open day and night.
Naturally the summer season is the
best for this class Of restaurants. The
surrounding beaches attract multi
tudes of visitors at night, and the late
trol!eys carry full loads to various
parts OF the borough. With its vast
network of street railways, Brooklyn
has scores of transfer points, and 1t Is
notable that one or more all-night res
taurants are to be found located near
almost every one of such points. The
returning merry-makers are generally
hungry, unless they have eaten at one
OF the seashore resorts, and 1t Is often
the case that the cost of meals at the
beaches is extortionate. or the food
served by them Is not tempting. The
restaurants that keep their doors open
at all hours, though they may not
equal the best. are almost invariably
clean and inviting, and meals that
would satisfy the ordinary appetite
are served.
Places Serve Good Food

merous. Beginning at the Brooklyn
bridge, or near 1t. one may follow the

even oysters-are in the greatest de-
mand, and there are places where
such food is prepared in a very tempt
ing manner. There may be no nap
kins; the dishes may be of heavy
earthenware instead Of china and the
"silverware" so worn that the brass
beneath is plainly visible. but the
"soft-shells" are done to turn, and
although the place may have no sa-
loon license, one can always get a

managed to slow the train down to about
twelve miles an hour as it collided. He
