punctuation perfect, the patrolmen
found one of the prettiest little po-
ems that they had ever read. 1t was
a parody on Riley's verses, written
by one who was in sympathy with
his own condition. The poem fol-
lows:
When man has been imbibing stuff
that brings the snakes to view,
When the sidewalks seem to wabble
and the full moon looks like two;
It's an awful thing, my brethren,
for a copper just to lay
His hand upon your shoulder
in an earnest sort Of way,
1t makes a chap feel curious,
and it sobers him real quick,
To see that cops grim visage,
or to see his hard wood stick.
You have to go along with him
There's no chance to get away,
With that hand upon your shoulder
in an earnest sort of way.
Oh, the calaboose's an awful place
in which to spend the night,
The mattresses are made OF planks,
and how the bed-bugs bite.
And then you know that in the morn
ing, you will have a fine to pay,
When a hand is on your shoulder
in an earnest sort of way.
The author of the poem is running
at large and although the police
have often seen him in the streets,
they have been unable to trace his
identity. And it is such a shame,
too, that this unknown poet has not

RAILROAD Votes

The Pennsylvania railroad COM
pany is engaged at the present time
in making a strong campaign
against the tramps. 1t Is stated
that within the past two or three
weeks a number of engineers, con-
ductors and other railroad employ
es have been held up along the
line and their watches and money
taken. The ''Pennsy" doesn't want
any tramps on its right of way
from now on and the company's
officers are especially active be-
tween here and Pittsburg. The rail
road detectives say that the other
day they arrested big able bodied
tramp near Leetonia, who had his
arm strapped to his side under his
shirt and a cork arm fitted into
coat sleeve. The tramps are the
thickest between Alliance and
Phttsburg and at l4eetonia 20 were
arrested on the railroad in one
bunch. Owingli to the presence Of
SO many tramps the railroad men
are not safe any more and want

TRIBAL AFFAIRS

Guthrie, Okla, Nov. Congress-
man Charles Carter will introduce a
bin during the short session of con

fairs of the five civilized Indian tribes
within the next three or five years.
The Legislation will also involve the
sale Of the segregated coal and asphalt
lands of the Chickasaw-C -Choctaw ma
tion, but its details have not been
determined. Sale would be either in
bulk or piecemeal, as would be the
most advantageous, in any event un-
der the direction of the interior de-
partment. The bill is based upon
the fact that Indians are now citizens
of the state as well as upon the various
treaty stipulations that such an end
shall he reached as soon as possible.
The last Curtis act, it is said, pre-
vented the desired chance.
In case the government grants au-

asphalt lands it is probable the state
