There is the ramaSseur de tabac, the
limp. ragged tramp whose trade is pro-
claimed he suddenly dashes to a drain
or a gutter and lifts from the pavement
the butt of a cigaret or a cigar. His
quests lead him to haunt the fronts of the
cafes at night-he may stink where he
will: he is a workman, and the police re-
spect his labor. Other figures ragged as
he. bowed as he glide and slip from the
dark corners where the gems d'arme rout
them out. They stink through the open
squares like dark birds of endless pas
sage blown across the lighted city in
search of port; port OF such as these are
the night refugees or the river bed-rest-

one more. These Migrants rouse them
selves from the park benches where the
summer night would gladly mantle them
If the police were not too jealous. There

There is very little fishing in the Po-
tomac at present. The old-timers have
become disguised with the neighboring
waters, and those who do any fishing at
all are far out Of town.
There are whole lot of Westinghouse

weeks have seen some good catches. The
deep sea fishing is not as good as usual,
but some large catches have been made in
the bay. The railroad bridge is a favorite
spot and keeps up it's reputation. White
perch, bluefish and trout seem to pick out
the bridge a very nice place to be
hooked in. Bluefish began to come larger
last week, and are being caaught averaS e

air for three, they amt wot they used

IL does come off, they do 1t with
gloves, and they're all right agin a day
or two arter.
"The strangest prize fighter I ever
come acrost was one wot shipped with
me on the Cavendish. He was the
most .eggstrordinary fighter I've ever
seen or card Of, and e got to be

THE v'y'ge I'm speaking of-we
used to trade between Australia and
London-Bill came aboard about an
hour afore the ship sailed. The rest
of us was already aboard and down
below, some Of us slowing our things
away and the rest sitting down and
telling each other lies about wot we'd
been doing. Bill came lurching down
the ladder, and Tom Baker put is and

bottom.
