a TRAMP AND A HERO.

This is, rank, heresy. we know -it'
but we want to 20 on record right
here as doing homage 10 a ragged
unkempt tramp, and regardless Of
any opinion 10 the contrary to say
VIC consider him one to whom hom-
age is due.
The tramp was down in New Jer-
sey, where they often chase tramps
with dogs. 1t was cold and sleety.
The haystack in which he had slept
for the night was covered with snow
and the wind was so keen that tho
dogs sought refuge from 1t under
the barn and gave him a chance to
get 10 the back door 10 beg for
breakfast. AS he was stealthily
creeping up he heard an explosion
and there was burst OF flame in
the kitchen. The daughter OF the
house had bsen filing" the gasoline
stove and the tank had burst cover
ing her with burning oil.
The tramp forgot the dogs and
breaking in the kitchen door. rushed
to the girls rescue. He tore off his
ragged old coat and wrapped her
in it. Then he seized rug and
rolled her ingtt, putting out the
flames. The girl was severelyohprUgd
but the tramp more so4tioThey
didn't think he would get over i as
he inhaled the flames. ,ou ys
The girls family were grateful,
and paid for the care OF the two
victims OF the. accident in hospital.
The volunteer fire department OF the
little town has elected the tramp to
honorary membership In It's, organ
ization,, and the. tramp provided with
new suit of clothes, will be given
position as clerk i'm a grocery
store as soon as he RECEIVERS.
This is a human interest story that
deserves consideration. Tramps are
not always .tramps because they
want to be, Communities which en-
force harsh, laws against tramps, as
II every tramp were wild beast III
only to be taken and destroyed, are
unduly. harsh. A tramp, after all, Is
only a man out OF work, and It often
happens that men find themselves
out OF work for no fault of their
own. ...
Criminals deserve short shift So
ciety has a right to deal harshly with
criminals, but society has no right
to treat every man out Of work as a
criminal. The best thing to do with
the tramp is to give him a chance
to do something better.
