OUR "JAcQUERIE."
Some Facts About Our Vaerant Hobo
Population.

population.
Few people realize the size of the
army of tramps in normal times and
still fewer how e: rmously this Amer
ican "jacquerie" has been recruited
during the current year. There is a
new and distinct re- enforcement which
has been added within this period, a
sort of Junior" army, a class of boy
tramps. It is easily conceivable that
boy tramps may become the most dan
gerous as they are certainly the sad
dest and most deplorable element Of
trampdom. 1t appears from the re-
ports Of officers of the. Northern Pacif-
ic railway that tramps have recently
invaded all classes of railroad rolling
stock, passenger cars as well as freight
cars, sometimes in such numbers that
the train hands fear to attempt to drive
them out, they are so far outnumbered
in out of the way places by the out
laws. The reports Of the courts Of the
country show that the commitments OF
tramps for vagrancy and petty offences
are a majority-67 per cent-of all
sentences to the jails. Then in the
large majority of cases Of arrests Of
tramps, the sentences are suspended
on condition that the offenders Will
disappear from the immediate neigh
borhood where arrested.
1t is beginning to dawn on the pub
lie mind that this temporary disap-
pearance from a given community
means the prompt temperance in the
community next door. AS James j.
Hill, who favors long sentences with
hard labor for tramps, puts it in his
forcible, clear-headed way, when all
neighborhoods are doing the same
thing, each community receives again
exactly as much refuse as it gets rid
cf." His railroad subordinates describe
the depreciation of the tramps Of this
year as something amounting almost
to the wreck and ruin left in the track
of an army on the march through the
enemys country. Fences and barns
are stripped for flrewood; fires are
sometimes built inside Of freight cars,
causing extensive confagrations; cab
ins for shelter of tramps are knocked
together out of materials stolen from
railroad yards or farms; colonies OF
small shacks thus built and tenanted
will often terrorize the respectable,
clean living community nearest to|
them. One estimate of the cost to rail-
reads of these depredations of tramps
is as high as $25,O0O,000 year.
It appears from the statistics that the
average commitment for vagrancy
throughout the country is for less than
Z month, and that when the prisoners
are worked on rock piles, instead or
fined, no guard is placed over them,
and they run away-evidently what the
sentencing authorities want. 1t is the
expense of keeping the tramps as pris-
,ners that the average community balks
at. The money Of the taxpayers, the
.own and county authorities are apt to
think. should not be spent to supply
tramps with lodgings and board. So
long as this view of the economical side
# the question prevails, as 1t undoubt-
edly does throughout the country, the
ragged army will keep the field In full
number everywhere only interchanging
its units between places. This, as Mr..
7. ]. Hill says. is self -evident.-Boston

a Way of Approach.

The small army of public school
teachers who instruct the children Of
New York's lowest East Side find that
young America in the making is an
interesting study. When the young
American springs from the Hebraic
stock it is doubly interesting. Inborn
shrewdness will crop out, even in the
pupils Of tender years.
A teacher was striving to interest
her class in American history by more
or less dramatic representations Of
certain historical scenes, in which the
moment the various rhetoric charac-
ters. The subject was the occasion Of
William Penn appearing before the
English king in demand Of some right
claimed by himself and his Quaker
brethren in the colony Of Pennsylvania,
A youngster of becoming sternness CT
countenance represented the monarch.
A pert young miss, in the character Of
Penn, demanded recognition of him in
anything but a Quakerish manner.
do you really believe that William
Penn would have gone before the king
with such an air? Would he have
been successful had he put his claim so
boldly and bluntly to the king? Can
not somebody else show us more near
~ how Penn would have approached
the king with his prayer for relief?"
A timid little girl with eagerness in
her face, her black eyes shining, waved
her hand.
"Ahv said the teacher, recognizing
her. Do YOU think you could do it bet
ter Rachel?"
Rachel blushingly believed she
could.
How would vcu have approached
tho king?" asFeG the teacher.
The influence Of placating genera
tions was shown in the answer.
'T would ask him. how iss peezi-
nese?'" said Rachel.-Ycuth's Com
panion.

A REsoURCEF> WITCH DOCTOR
Sir Joseph Ward, premier of New
Zealand, says that there are few tight
places from which the Maori witch
doctor cannot extricate himself, thanks,
in a measure, to his devotees' credul-
ity.
Rua, a local power in magic, once
claimed that he could walk on water,
and went to the beach with a number
Of natives who were anxious for him to
perform the feat.
do you truly believe that I can
walk on the water?" he asked them.
Yes! Yes" his followers cried,
with one voice.
Then there is no need for me to do
it," the chief coolly replied, and he
turned awav, followed by the awed ma
tives.-St James's Budget.

a MODEST REQ"EsT.-The young
man and the girl were standing out
side the front door, having a final chat
after his evening call. He was leaning
against the doOrpost. talking in low
tones. Presently the young lady look

doorway clad in a dressing gown.

DEPENDENT on THE PAsT.-At the
courts a case concerning motor driving
was being heard, when the chauffeur
declared that when driving at forty
miles an hour he could, if necessary,
pull up in ten or twelve feet.

Then the next witness-an expert
gave his evidence.
Said his lordship: IF a motor car
were travelling at forty miles an hour,
and the brakes could be put on in such
a manner as to stop it within ten or

GREAT PEAKS OF ALASKA.
Some of the Most imposing Snow
Mountains In the World.

oOme VI ItiC "0SN i''PSS'S
Mountains In the World.
The fact is not generally known
that some of the most imposing snow
mountains in the world lie within the
limits of the United States. l refer
to the great peaks of Alaska, at least
one Of which, Mount Mckinley, is
over 10000 feet high, while Mount
st. Elias is over $4,000 feet and, be-
ing situated within twenty-five miles
of the coast, can be seen in its entire
height from the deck Of vessel.
Other magnificent peaks, as Mount
Fairweather and Mount Crillon, lie
very close to the shore, and, since
the line of perpetual snow in these
northerly ATTITUDES is at 5000 feet or
even less Tin the case Of Mount. st.
Elias it is virtually at the waters
edge, for the base of this mountain Is
surrounded by vast glaciers which
flow down to the sea-, continuous
snow and ice surfaces may there be
seen rising from $1,000 to $4,000
feet above the spectator. l think
am not mistaken in saying that few,
if any, such sights can be witnessed
in any other part of the world.
Mountaineering expeditions to
these Alaskan peaks are very inter-
esting, but at the same time very Ia
borious, not because of unusuali "
stiff rock or snow work-neither is
probably as difficult as that encoun-
tered in the Alps-but largely be-
cause they are situated in wild, un-
explored country at great distances
from any proper base of supplies, so
that before their ascent can be even
attempted much time and effort must
be expended in the solution of var
ious perpleXing problems not perta n
ing to climbing proper. And this I
understand to be also true in gen.
eral way of mountaineering in the
Himalayas, the Andes and the Cau-
casus All Of these great ranges still
offer what the Alps no longer can
new fields to conquer. These have
unquestionably fascination peculiar
to themselves, and every one should
go in search of them. To a certain
extent the absence of such new fields
may be said to detract from the pleas
ure of mountaineering in the Alps

FEED THE BRUTE"
Man Is Always Peevish Before He Has
His Breakfast.

The usual advice given to young
wives is to feed the BRUTE" and an
other warming is not to cross a man
before he has breakfasted.
From my experience says the pro-
prietor of a large which
serves many breakfasts, Il have
learned to avoid my male customers
before breakfast. Somehow ladies' are
not so irritable at that hour of the day
rs are their husbands and brothers.
MANY of my customers are early
risers, who call in on their way to
business. If you met them in the
afternoon they would strike you as
being most companionable men, but
before breakfast W. | keep out of
their way.
"They growl at the weather. at the
food, at the waiter, at each other and
even at themselves. 1t is amusing to
watch the visible change as they get
through breakfast.
with ladies it's quite different.
They are not nearly SO numerous as
are the men. but they are much more
amiable. l sometimes wonder If it is
because they wake up less hungry.
But as to that l can only guess.

man before he has broken his fast is
usually a disagreeable sort of animal
