That's IT,. shouted Mr. Bowser as
he bobbed up and began to walk
around. ''Kill the tramp! That's the
way 1t has gone. and that's the reason
we have the tramp with us. He will
always be with and grow more vicious
all the time as long as people have
that murderous feeling toward him."
"But you threw him over the fence
only few days ago without stopping
to study him for minute."
Mr.. Bowser couldn't deny the fact,
and 1t angered him, and after fierce
scowl at the cat he said: ~

organize society to study the tramp.
Very well; consider the society formed
right here and now: ! am going out TO
find tramp and bring. him back with
me. shall take him into the dining
room and study and observe and make
notes."
Successful Search For Tramps.
Mrs. Bowser made no protest, and a
minute later MIR. Bowser was on the
street. He did not have far 10 go to
find the object OF his search. A tramp
stood leaning up against the wall of a
shoe store. and he received an invita-
tion to come along and I'll up and talk.
He evinced surprise and dlstrust for
awhile. hut finally said:
''All right. old rooster, lead on"
He was taken into the dining room
and food ana a bottle OF beer set be-
fore him. and then Mr.. Bowser took
out his memorandum book and began
20 take notes, as follows:

At this juncture Mrs. Bowser, who

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2O.-The su
preme court of the United States to-
day began the second week of the
term by hearing large number of
motions, receiving petitions for var
ious writs of certiorari, and acting
upon several such petitions.
OF the petitions heretofore pre-
sented, seven were granted and II
denied, the effect being to bring TO
this court for review the cases ir
which the writ was granted and 10
practically affirm the decisions of
the courts in which the writs were
denied.
Among the cases favorably acted
upon was that of Waskry VS.. Ha-

territory of Alaska and involving
the question of the right of dep
uty mineral surveyor to locate a
mine under the law.
