The Pennsylvania railroad
company last year lost $4,000
on account of thefts of tramps,
according to figures just made
public to show the seriousness
Of the problem the railroads Of
the country face in dealing
with tresspassers. This sum
was paid out in 1907 in claims
for losses traced to thefts. Ac-
cording to these figures on the
tramp nuisance 4,156 arrests
for tresspassing and illegal
riding were made on the Pen
nsylvania's right of way and
466 men were arrested for lar
ceny. At the time 800 men
were killed or died from injur-
les received while in the act Of
tresspassing.

the government told Pa to use his
own money for month or two and
treasury for all he needed, SO before
Pa went to the hospital he drew on
his government for 100000 and when
he came back there was letter for
him from the American consul in
Paris telling him to call at the Office.
SO Pa went there and they arrested
him on the charge of skull digging.
They said he had no right to draw
for any money on the government
at Washington. Pa showed his pa
pers with the big seal on. and the
consul laughed in Pas face, and Pa
was hot under the collar and wanted
to fight. but they showed him that
the papers he had were no good, and
that he had been buncoed by some
falzir in Washington who got $500
from Pa for securing him job as
government agent, and all his papers
authorized him to do was to travel
at his own expense, and to buy all the
airships he wanted to with his own
money, and Pa had fit. All the mon
ey he had spent was dead loss, and
all he had to show for 1t was a pune
tured airship, which he was afraid to
ride in.
Pa swore at the government. at the
consul. and at the man who buncoed
him, and they released him from ar
rest, when he promised that he would
not pose any more as government
agent, and we went back to the hotel.

After Changing from Coffee to Postum.

Many talented person is kept back

with the notrishment of the body.
This is especially so with those
whose nerves are very sensitive, as Is
often the case with talented persons.
There is simple, easy way to get rid
of coffee evils and a Tenn. lady's ex-
perience along these lines is worth
considering. She says
Almost from the beginning of the
use of coffee 1t hurt my stomach. By

What in thunder did have to do
about it?" says l. just like that. II
wasn't with you when you framed up
this job and let a E1an in Washington
skin you out of your money by giving
you a soft snap snap which has ex-
ploded in your hands. Gee. Pa, what
you need is maid or valet, or
something that will hold on to your
wad. Pa said he didn't need any
body TO act as guardian to him,
cause he had all the money he need
ed in his letter of credit to the Ameri-
can Express Company in Paris, and he
knew how to spend his money freely.
but he did hate to be buncoed and
made the laughing stock of two con-
tinents.
So Pa and l went down to the Ex-
press office, and Pa gave the man in
charge a paper and the grand hailing
sign of Distress and he handed out
bags OF gold and bales of bills, and Pa
hid a lot in his leather belt and put
some in his pockets. and said: Come,
