Sues for an OversIeep.

While an Austrian vas winning a
small fortune by sleeping on a train,
O Frenchman was taking action
against the Observation-Disclosures
can railway because he slept too
much. This was a man who bought a
ticket from Marseilles to Lyons, fell
asleep, and was carried past his sta
ton to Trevoux. He straightway sued
the company, alleging that his bust
ness was damaged because he did
not get off at Lyons, and that it 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 a 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.

MoscoW's Many Beggars.

Of the beggars so characteristic OF
Russia's ancient capital a writer
says: THE old city of Moscow could
not easily be disassociated from the
so. 900 beggars who haunt its snowy
streets. The city belongs to them;
if 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"

TRAMPS OF MOJAVE
DEATH VALLEY HOBOS ARE A
WORTHLESS LOT.
Will Endure Terrible Hardships I'm
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 dcsert-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 a different
species, more worthless, If 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 tramp's 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 a
few empty beer bottles.
On reaching a ranch he will make
for the spring, and after drinking MS
fill lie down on the shady side OF the
house and sleep for hours, or until
he smells the odor Of the coming
meal. Then he patiently waits for a
hand out" and is off 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 laborlng.
At night he will sleep in an alfalfa
field, or in a shallow brooiilet with his
head resting upon a rock for a pill
low, and he thus can sleep soundly,
with the thermometer at 10 or lib.
Arising from his cool bed, he fills
his beer bottles with water, eats his
breakfast, and again esumes his long
tramp, which is eve to end. He
follows the trail, having no compass
and knowing little or nothing of the
country beyond, only that it 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 a 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 is against
anyone he meets in this desolate cOun-
try, where everything in nature Is at
war, even the elements. Without the
slightest hesitation he will take the
fife of a prospector or tourist in order
to obtain food or water which his vic
tim may carry.

HOW TO TEST -EiNsEEp~oiL

There is nothing that will make
paint go wrong on the house more
quickly than poor oil. 1t is as bad In
its way as authorizations in the white
lead. Petroleum oil cheapeners may
be detected by placing a drop of the oil
on a black painted surface. If one sees
the characteristic i%ridescence or play
of colors which kerosene exhibits, it
is evidence of adulteration. Corn and
fish oil can be detected blythe smell.
Adulteration in white lead can best
be discovered by the use Of a blow
pipe, which National Lead Company
will send with instructions free to
anyone interested in paint. Address.
