IS HOBO ONLY ONE DAY
AND LOSES BOTHLECS

PORTLAND, Ore, Nov. IL
Within "a hours after leaving his
home at Cove, Wash, to enter the
ranks of the hobo fraternity, Will
liam Klockstead, 81 years of age,
suffered the accidental amputation
of both legs above the knees by
falling beneath moving train in
the terminal yards and now lies
at st. Vincent's hospital, with
small chance of recovery.
Klockstead beat his way into
Portland on the top of Pullman
attached to the Northern Pacific
passenger train from Seattle. Just
before the train pulled into the
Union depot the young tramp
jumped from the car.
In leaping from the rapidly NOV
ing coach, Klockstead struck the
side of freight car on an adjoin-
ing track and rolled under the pas
senger train. One truck passed
over his lower limbs, severing the
members above the knees.

Telling the Time.

One of the accurate ways of telling
the time is TO use your hand as an
hour mark Nothing simpler. All
farmers not possessed OF watches or
clocks and who have some practical
notions of common utilities not invent
ed by man. but given TO US by the
Creator, know the rule. 1t is necessary
to keep in mind the hour OF sunrise
and sunset and to hold the arm
straight out from the shoulder. with
the hand at right angles. bending from
the wrist forward. If the sun sets at
o'clock and is still high in the heav-
ems close one eve and make three meas
ures Of the width of the palm near the
thumb. Each measure means one
hour Three measures mean three
hours. so that the time thus obtained
is less 3, o. o'clock. With practice
you can beat the average watch.-New

THE FACE ON THE CENT.
1t Is Not That of an Indian, but of a
Pretty Little Girl.

Pretty Little Girl.
Mrs. Sarah Longacre Keen. who liv-
ed and died in Philadelphia, came
nearer being the queen of the Ameri-
can mint than any woman who ever
lived. With the exception of Queen
Victoria, whose image was engraved
on every coin of the British and In
dian empires. Mrs. Keen was first in
the number of her metal photographs.
Her face as a girl of twelve summers
is to be seen on every American cent
issued since 1886 from Uncle Sans
coin factory.
1t is usually assumed that the face
on the head side Of the copper is that
of an Indian but close look will re-
veal a Saxon profile Just borrow
cent and look at it. The setting is that
of an Indian.
Between 1923 and 1910 James Bar
ton Longacre was chief engraver in
the United States mint in Philadelphia.
In 1885 a competition was opened for
sketches and engravings for the new
copper cent that was to be issued and
which has since been in service. There
were over a thousand designs offered.
The prize was a good one. Longacre
racked his brain for some original and
singular design that would strike the
judges, but for months he failed to
satisfy himself.
One morning a number of Indians,
with their chief, who had been to pay
their respects to the great white chief
in Washington. came to the city and
were shown through the mint. They
were introduced to the white chiefs
picture maker, who was Just then
showing his young daughter Sarah the
great concern. The old chief was at
tracted by the sweet faced maiden and
her interest in his feathers and paint
She childishly wondered how she
would look in the feathered headgear
This was told the chief. who solemnly
Invested himself Of his feathers and
had them placed on the girls head.
The effect was so striking that the
father took time to make a sketch OF
the picture, finishing it afterward for
his own amusement.
At the last moment Of the period
given for sending In engravings he be-
thought himself OF the possibility Of
the combination of Indian feathers
and Saxon sweetness. He got it in.
and much sport was made of the child
at the time in the city because Of the
incident The sketch passed through
the seventh sitting and finally reached
the last round BY one vote it won,
and ever since Sarah Longacre's young
face has served for the humblest Of
coins. than which no single coin in the
world has such tremendous crcula-
tion.-Detroit News-Tribune.

TIPS AND TIPPING.
The Customary Exactions on Board
the Atlantic Liners.

Do not take fright at what you may
hear about excessive tips on steamers
and in Europe They are numerous, but
need not be large. To scatter your
money wildly in tips will mark you
as a novice. All the servants will
quickly spot you, pass the word around
and fleece you. Tips vary, of course,
in accordance with the grade of steam
erS hotels and other accom- oda tons.
If you travel in Il specially equipped
floating palace you must expect to pay
at least $25 for steamer tips. On regu-
lar first class steamers, however, the
following are customary and Will be
ample: Statcroom steward, $3.50; state
room stewardess. $3.50: dining room
steward, $3.50. These are obligatory.
On the cheaper first class steamers
they may be reduced TO 81 each and
be entirely digni1ed. 1t all depends on
the boat BY talking with other pas
sengers you can readily learn the Gus
tomary scale for your steamer. If you
use the bathroom regularly. pay the
bathroom steward 81; if less frequently
this might be cut to - cents a bath.
If you read books from the library,
give the steward a tip varying from
81 down to % cents according to grade
Of steamer and frequency of his service
to you.
The deck stewards eratuity is a
variable quantity; he has opportunity
for getting tips from so many people
that he fares better than inside stew
ards. who are restricted to a certain

him. Give him what you think he has
earned in waiting on you. according to
relative service with the other stew
ards. 4 dollar is the maximum expect
ed on ordinary boats.
Thus your total tips need not exceed
SO a voyage and may not be more
than So. Be reasona BILE in what you
require of stewards, and if you should
ask special service of them outside the
line of their regular duties, pay them
for it-Myra Emmons in Good House
