The Closed Season,

A recently married West Philadel
phis girl was the innocent cause OF
much amusement at small dinner In
one Of the downtown hotels recently.

father-in-law. having been made god.
father TO the child Of one Of his bust
ness associates, wanted to give some
present to the infant in recognition
Of the honor. Knowing that others in
tended bestowing mugs, spoons, ETC..
he decided that he would go out Of
this conventional line and give the
baby carriage.
Being very busy man, he commits
stoned his daughter-in-law to do the
buying, with instructions to get very
fne one. During a lull In the CONVEX
sation at the dinner the father-in-law
said: "Bess. did you get that baby
carriage?" "Oh, l got you beauty,
and only ten dollars" was the reply.
"You didn't get good one for that
price," protested the fatherin-law.
Eyes, I did," asserted the young lady;
"the salesman said they were re-
duced because this wasn't the sea-
son." Then she wondered why every
one laughed.

Moscow's Many Beocars.

OF the beggars so characteristic Of
Russla's ancient capital writer
says: 1.-THE old city Of Moscow could
not easily be disassociated from the
$4,000 beggars who haunt It's snowy
streets. The city belongs to them;
II the city rats own the drains, they
own the streets. They are part Of the
city, they are in perfect harmony with
It; take away the beggars and you
destroy something vital. Some are so
old and weather battered that they
make the Kremlin itself look older.
and Of those who lie at the monastery
doors some are SO fearfully pitiable
in their decreptitude that they lend
power to the churches"

The "Gaulois" relates the following
"anecdote delicieuse." Edward VII,
while still prince Of Wales, was ac-
customed to take his morning walk
alone in st. James park. One day he
noticed that he was being followed
by two little boys, and turned round
to look at them. Although at FIRST
much Disconnected, one Of them
plucked up courage, and, taking on
his cap, said: "Your royal highness.

Just made . bet with him that you
are the heir to the throne Of England"
The prince Of Wales replied, smiling:.
"You have won; but what was your
little friends betf" HE bet that

"Oh, well, then" said the prince,
smiling, ne has also won"

DEATH VALLEY HOBBS ARE A
WORTHLESS LOT,
VIII Endure Terrible HardshIps In
Order to Sustain Their Worthless
Lives Without Being Forced
to Work.

The wonders Of the hobo" kingdom
are the tramps who live out in the
Mojave desert-a part Of which, Death
valley, is the hottest place on the
face Of the earth.
These white tramps live with the
Pluto Indians and are locally known
| as ARABS" They are Of different
species, more worthless, II possible,
than any other branch Of their tribe,
and are an interesting study in that
they will suffer thirst, heat and almost
death in order to get enough to sus-
tain their worthless lives without
work.
The desert tramps clothes are usu-
ally cast-off garments that he has
found, begged or perhaps stolen
faded, frayed and full Of holes-and
his broken shoes usually are wrapped
In cloth so as to protect lis feet
from the burning sands. He carries a
bundle consisting Of provisions and
few empty beer bottles.
On reaching ranch he will make
for the spring, and after drinking his
Ill lie down on the shady side Of the
house and sleep for hours. or until
he smells tho odor of the coming
meal. Then he patiently waits for a
hand out" and is of to the next
ranch.
And thus he keeps UP his rounds
from one end Of the desert to the
other with no object In view, no hope
for the future-only that he may live
from day to day without laboring.
At night he will sleep In an alfalfa
field, or in shallow brooklet with his
head resting upon a rock for q pill.
low, and he thus can sleep soundly.
with the thermometer at 10 or 115.
Arising from his cool bed, he nils
his beer bottles with water, eats his
breakfast, and again resumes his long
tramp, which IL never to end. He
follows the trail, having no compass
and knowing little or nothing Of the
country beyond, only that 1t is 80
miles to the next spring. and twice
that distance to the next ranch. He
may reach his destination and he
may not.
Frequently he falls q victim to the
heat. or thirst, for men have died Of
thirst though having Jars of water in
their possession. The heat has burned
out the spark of life, or literally burst
the head open.
The desert tramp Is more desperate
than his brother Of civilization. The
fierce climate has brought out his
brutal nature, and his hand II against |
anyone he meets in this desolate coun.
try, where everything In nature IL at |
war, even the elements. Without the |
slightest hesitation he will take the
life Of prospector or tourist In order |
to obtain food or water which his VIC
tim may carry.

can railway because he slept too
much. This was a man who bought q
ticket from Marseilles to Lyons, fell
asleep, and was carried past his sta
ton to Treyoux. He straightway sued
the company, alleging that his bust
ness was damaged because he did
not get OF at Lyons, and that 1t was
the company's business to awaken him
at the proper destination. He also
wanted to be reimbursed the price Of
his return ticket to Lyons. The court,
however, dismissed the action, main
tanning that passenger must look
out for his own station as far as fall
ing asleep was concerned, and that
the company could not be expected to
know whether a man was awake or
not.

when boy he could be induced to APP

They sharpen knives. The next door

neither Of these weapons is ever used
for anything except grinding. They
are the sharpest knives ! ever saw.

The men I turned for sharpened
scythes and axes and butchers knives
and things, but none Of those imple-
ments ever got one-half SO sharp as
the knives these boys own.
Our boy and the boy next door get
. good deal Of fun out Of their grind
stone. but they miss many Of the In
cidents that enlivened my own tus-
sles with that deadly machine. They
don't have anybody to cuff them on
the ear, for instance, and growl 'Hur

1T was under such disadvantages
that my early acquaintance with Q

away at their everlasting grinding.
