Sues for an oversleep.

While an Austrian was winning a
small fortune by sleeping on a train,
a 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.

TRAMPS OF MOJAVE
DEATH VALLEY HoBos ARE A.
WORTHLESS LOT.
Will 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. a different
species. more worthless, il 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 ISL
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 his
Ill 11O uOWuH Ou IAC SloOy 0AuO VI CAS
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 laboring.
At night he will sleep in an alfalfa
field, or in a shallow brooklet with his
head resting upon a rock for a pill
low, and he thus can sleep %soundly,
with the. thermometer at ITO or lis.
Arising from his cool bed, he fills
his beer bottles with water, eats his
breakfast, and again resumes his long
tramp, which is never to end. He
follows the trail, having no compass
and knowing little or nothing of the
country beyond, only that it is sc
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 hi:
brutal nature, and his hand is agains'
anyone he meets in this desolate coun
try, where everything in nature is a
war, even the elements. Without thu
|: slightest hesitation he will take thu
! life of a %prospector or tourist in orde,
to obtain food or water which his vic
tim may carry.

Moscow's Many Beggars.

OF the beggars so characteristic of
Russia's ancient capital a 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;
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"

Gives Teeth in Lieu Of Cash

Sioux City, Ia.-Fined five dollars
for i~ntoxication, John Shay could not
find money in his clothes nor could
he prevail upon any friend to bail him
out. Eagerness to escape afforded
him a sudden inspiration. He depos-
tied with Desk Sergeant Pierce his set
of false teeth, worth $25, as security.
Unless Shay returns with FIVE dol
lars Sergeant Pierce fears the man
will starve.

Beautiful surroundings develop the
finer feelings and a conception of
what is beautiful strengthens and
supports the moral natures. One of
the functions of the public school is
to inculcate the spirit Of good citizen
ship and there is no question but that
there will be better citizens twenty

We hope every parent will visit the
school and examine them. Again we
thank you.

WANTS FUTURES"
TRADING INVESTIGATED

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 90
(SpeciaD Representative BurIeson, OF
Texas, received a letter yesterday
from Harvie Jordan, president of the
Southern Cotton Association, urging
him to use his influence toward OBJ
tanning the appointment of a joint
committee of Congress to investigate
the subject Of future" trading in
cotton.
Mr. Jordan anticipates that Presi-
dent Roosevelt, before the session
ends, will transmit to Congress "a
report, covering the Investigations by
the Commissioner of Corporations,
but he doubts if any legislation on
the subject can be had at this time,
in view of the approaching adjourn
ment.
1t is Mr.. Jordan's belief that the
joint committee could gather during
the summer months sufficient data to
enable Congress to act at it's next
session.

COTTON TURNED
UPWARD AT LAST
In Local Market Stagna-

Was it the turning of the tide, or
the excess of the tide water on the
cotton fields which boosted the cot

of the recent floods, and this situation

TOO MANY DOGS,
WANTS DIVORCE
Chicago Woman Objects to
Second Place.

CHICAGO, ILL, April 29-( SpeciaD
Mrs. May NJ. Sharp filed a bill for
divorce yesterday from Harley G.
Sharp, alleging that she is tired of
working for her husband and his
dogs.
When a mistress of the household
must see her cooking utensils used
to prepare spoiled meat for the
dogs, when the animals use her bath
tub and make towels out of her
sofa covers, then, Mrs. Sharp be-
lieves, the limit of human endurance
has been reached.
The complainant AYERS that her
husband has endangered her health
by keeping sick dogs in the house,
in the cellar and in the back yard.
At one time, she complains he had
twenty on the premises, in all con-
ditions and of all ages
Husbands Faults.
She epitomizes her husbands al
legged offenses as follows:
Spends his money on the dogs.
Allowed the grocery bill to run
for ten months without attempting
to pay it.
Used the cooking utensils for
cooking decayed dog meat and filling
the house with a vile Odor.
Had dogs with the mango and
abScesses in the house.
Used the cooking pans to boil in
struments in which had been used in
curing the dogs.
Kept sick dogs around when Mrs.
Sharp was i'll and when her attend
ing physicians said that their pres
ence was dangerous to her
Permitted his wife to work for her
board in 1907 and bought silver
dog cup for SIS.
Went to theaters with other women
and sometimes also went automobile
riding.
Left unpaid grocery bills, tailor
bills and dog and doctor bills.
Gave dogs a bath in her bathtub
and then wrapped them in a spread
used on the lounge.
Went on hunting trips and allow
ed bills to remain unpaid while the
collectors annoyed Mrs. Sharp.
Had trouble with many landlords
because of the dogs.
Mrs. Sharp asks the court to al
low her to resume her maiden name,
which was May M. Smith. They were
married November Is, 1905, and
separated on Feb. 10, of the present
year.
