saw there about II knights OF the
road OF various descriptions, size and
colors. All OF them were picked up

and enough money to buy some
liquor.
They succeeded well on the first

rather good and they became bois-

men had $3.50 in his pockets and
two of the larger hoboes stole it
from him. He summoned the police

Joe Jones, who was robbed, claims
Iowa City as his home. He "queered"
himself with his tramp friends when
he summoned the police. 1t was
necessary to lock him up in a sep

would result. During the night the
bunch begged the officers to just put
him in with them for few minutes.

My dad and me are partners. all the

He likes to climb the hills like to
climb.
He likes to go along with me to swim
And likes to have me talk of things
with him;
He likes to have me tell him all the
things
| think of and do. When bird sings
He tells me what it is, just from its
call
There's nothing that my dad don't
know at all.
And when there's things that l don't
understand
l ask my daddy all about them, and
He tells me all about them. 1 had
heard
About men "switchin' trains, and
that there word
Was a big puzzle TO me; knew how
Sometimes a Teller had to switch a
COW
To make her hustle up along the lane,
And so / wondered how men switched
a train.
And dad explained IT to me; am glad
That I am such good pardners with
my dad.
He tells me all about most every
place,
And sometimes, with his face against
my face,
He tells me what good times is like
and then
He squeezes me and says: But we are
men
And we can wait" And then he wants
to know
If there amt any place 1 want to go.
And then we talk of something else
awhile,
And / am glad then when 1 see him
smile.
He talks it over with me when l fight,
And tells me if I'm wrong. And when
I'm right
He strokes my hair and says life's

Will Give Institution S25, 600 if
others Give $4,000.

In recognition Of the work done by the
Sailors Home and Institute. at No. O7
West street this city. Mrs Russell Sage
has agreed TO give $4,000 for its extension,
providing an additional $4,000 is raised.
The trustees Of the institution will use
large part of the 10000. when It is finally
obtained in building two additional stories
10 the West street structure. These new
stories will give the home one hundred
more rooms and provide accommodations
for the large number Of unfortunates who
apply there for lodgings.
The institute was opened In 1905 and In q
short space of time became the rendezvous
oC sailors from all parts OF the world. The
mere lodging Of seamen. however. Is only
part Of the work the institution is doing.
It aims - employ all legitimate means to
safeguard the sailors against the usual
temptations which greet them on every
hand In this city.
Representatives OF the organization patrol
the waterfront every day in order 10 meet
stray seamen who may be wandering
about and point out 70 them the adj
vantages OF making the home their head
quarters whenever they happen TO he in
the city.
The average number or visitors I'm 1910
was more than thirty-five thousand each
month. The organization depends entirely
upon voluntary contributions. and il Is the
hope OF those in charge that sufficient re-
Spouse IN the way Of funds will he made
to enable them to take advantage Of the
offer Of Mrs. Sage.

the Newer Playhouse.

was being made to keep intact the roper
tory company and that 10 the best of his
knowledge the company would 60 on tour
in short time. Mr. Ames said that this
was a project in the successful carrying
out of which he was interested deeply.
Booking engagements and planning the
itinerary for such a company could not be
done in a day or week rut he believed
the probabilities were all tor such arrange
ments being made in time. Mr. Ames also
denied the report that The New Theatre
would be conducted by few only Of the
original founders.
This is not true" ne said. The original
founders, made up Of thirty men. arc going
ahead with the plan. as outlined yester-
day, 10 erect upon another site theatre Of
moderate size for the purposes already
stated. Tho published statement was drawn
up with their approval and upon the IN
struction OF these men who are conse-
quently in thorough sympathy with the
new undertaking."
Asked concerning his idea as 10 the most
important innovations tina, the new build
ing should possess. Mr. Ames said the sub
ject naturally was occupying a great deal
OF his time and would be treated in a
formal statement when II was ripe.
