All Have the Tramp Instinct


THIS desire for variety and the instinct for trav
l. cling about are nothing morbid. They are found
in every normal breast; though stronger in some,
Of course. than in others. II poor, commonplace
lad hauprrs to have it strongly he becomes plain,
every dav tramp; if a talented or wealthy lad has
It in the same degree, he becomes an explorer like
STANLEY and Livingstone and Peary, or a globe
trotter like Walt Whitman, Mark Twain, Rudyard
kDling. and a host of others. DARWIN was Il ScIen-
titic tramp. and 50 was Huxley. The voyages they
made round the world in the interest OF natural
science were also voyages for the satisfaction OF
strong tramping instincts The late Josiah Flynt,
himself a victim of this instinct tells us that ne has
known men on the road who were tramplng purely
and simply because they loved to tramp They
had no criminal tendencies, no vicious habits, no
marked taste for liquor or tobacco; but somehow
or other they could not conquer that passion for
rowing" They were tramps because they
lacking in normal self respect, and were too much
afraid of work little higher up the scale of human
ity and have the rovcrs IN whom ambition and
self respect are not yet completely dead, such Tor
example, as the takers and quaCk doctors; higher
still and have the hard toling seamen and brake
men, who stick to their hazardous and poorly paid
Callings because they best satisfy the rowing IN
stinct; and 50 up the line through the drummer,
the actor the lecturer the scientist and to some
extent, perhaps the missionary.
Man rowing animal, and IN that respect
brother the fishes of the the birds OF the air,
and the beasts of the earth. Civilized man does
not roam about like the Tartars, the Huns, the
Bedouins, Lapps Gipsies, Wandering Herdsmen,
Indians or even like the medieval knights errant;
but he runs away from home and business and goes
on an excursion, or - crosses the pond at every
opportunity he gets, covering more territory III

Tourist and Runaway

NOV the point l wish to emphasize is this; when
~ Johnny father packs his grip and purchases
ticket he calls himself tourist" and in SO doing
experiences a considerable expansion OF the chest;
but when Johnny bravely fOots it without these
pensive accessories which he could enjoy much
as his father if he had them, he is branded loafer
and a runaway. And yet Johnny IS his father
own son and of the two he should do the touring,
for the blood is rushing through his veins like
mountain stream in early spring and his blooming
young soul is hungering for freedom and adventure,
for new sensations and varied experiences. And
this is true even though Johnny has been reared
IN the most punctilious of homes and trained from
infancy to walk the straight and narrow path.
Listen to the testimony of just such young man:
Il cannot recall having ever gone from home with
pleasure; but during my early teens | began to
feel sense of oppression from remaining at home:
which became highly accumulated by the age OF
fifteen | was then allowed to leave home to teach

The Call of the World

IMPORTANT as is the role of instinct in impellng
children to run away, 1t should be remembered
that there secondary causes which stimulate
this instinct excessive activity The majority OF
children do not away, not because they lack
the instinct, but because the wholesome conditions
of their home lives do furnish the instinct with
anything feed upon, and so 1t slowly starves TO
death. But when a parent dies, tor example, and
the other remarries then the instinct has the nch
est possible food 70 stimulate it to hyperaCtvIty
know old Austrian who away at the age OF
SIX because his mother died and his father rearred
His stepmother treated him kindly enough, but,
being a preCOciOus, sensitive child, he could not
bear to address her mother to her take his
mother place. For several weeks he would wander
off every day the outskirts OF the city and try to
muster up sufficient courage to run away; but ms
energy would spend itself in tears and compel hlm
trudge back disConsolately to what he could no
longer feel was home.
But Just as an acrobat suddenly finds, after weeks
of unsuccessful attempts to perform difficult feat,
that he do 1t with ease, one day he found
that his fears had melted away, the heavIneSS on
his heart was gone and it seemed the easiest thing
in the world do what he had been trying to
make up his mind to do all the time Taking
last look at his native town, and praying the Lord
TO take him He had taken his mother, he
marched off as fast his little legs would carry
him. For twenty years he tramped all over Europe,

ENIBEZZLER SURRENDERS
TO RELIEVE CONSCIENCE

Los Angeles, July 1e.-After wrest.
ling with his conscience for more
than a year, w. T.. Crockett surren-
dered to right impulse and is in the
city prison, while the police are pre-
pairing to notify the Pocatello, Idaho,
authorities of his detention.
According to Detective Flammer. to
whom he surrendered, Crockett de-
clared he had begun life anew, but
that his mental anguish over an al
legged embezzlement was such that
he could make no progress and the
result was a visit to the chief of po-
lice here.
Crockett admitted selling a piano
belonging TO n firm for which he was
salesman. The sum of $265 was
realized and with this Crockett de-
clares he went to Salt Lake city. There
he worked for Christensen and Han
sen and further embezzlements are
alleged to have occurred there.
