 Curiosity, not anxiety for the society of tramps. led the reporter afield and he fpund that tho scarcity of tramps was more seeming than real for all about the borough there are bowers in which the knights of the roads are spending their days. This is the vacation time for these gentlemen, and most of them lie in the cool, shady hooks by the way side within easy access to fields of grow ing vegetables or to barns wherein red combed hens announce by joyous cackles the laying of ''strickly fresh" eggs.
 While the busy worker in the mills of the city is toiling before the fires and amid the dust and noise of the factory and spending all his leisure moments in complaining of the high cost of living the tramp is whiling away his days in a realm of glorious and sumptuous idle ness, with no thought of what the next day will bring forth ; for he knows that so long as others work and struggle all is well with him. Prosperous people are always liberal, fact well known to the tramp who is keen and unerring stu dent of human nature. This is one of the reasons that a prosperous town or village is sure to have at all periods of the year it's full, or over-fowing quota, of tramps. These human drones always make it point to tarry by a we'll l-stockCu hive.

Liquor Question Up Again.


At the meeting Of the town council in
this place last Monday evening the liquor
question was brought up again, when
John r. Thompson made application for
recommendation to the County Court for
license to open bar-room in the Entler
Hotel Upon the vote being taken on the
question, Councimen 7. A. Carter, J. l.
WelShans and F. L. Weltzheimer voted
for the application, while Recorder J. D..
Blllmyer and Councilmen H. M. Shell and
M. E. Spohn voted against it. This left
the deciding vote with Mayor U. S. Mar
tin, who voted in favor Of the saloon, and
the recommendation was ordered to be
issued. Mr.. Thompson, the applicant,
is a native OF this county, and was former
ly one of the proprietors OF the Entler Ho
tel. He has been living in Nebraska for
several years past, and returned to this
neighborhood only month or so ago.
TIE matter will come up before the
County Court at future time. II is
thought unlikely that the court will grant
a license, as it acted upon the applications
of two other persons on June 9th and
unanimously declined to permit license for
this town. The courts action was based
then upon one of the strongest petitions
ever placed before it, over four hundred
of the leading taxpayers and property
owners of this community praying ii not
to issue such license, and upon the strong
plea of Principal ThoS. c. Miller to keep
saloons out of the town for the welfare OF
Shepherd College 1t is believed that
the court will stand on its record.
