SEAS REAL HOB0ES
Wander from One End to Other

Shippers Of These Vessels Do Not
Care What Cargo May Be-WiII
Carry Anything from Fruit to
Arms for RevoIutionists.

New York.-The "hobo" of the sea
is no relation to the Weary Willie Of
the land, and although the old song
of wherever there's freight, that's
where the tramp goes" applies, in a
measure, to the pilgrim who steals his
way on the cargo carriers of the steel
rail, it was penned by some one who
had in mind the thousands Of sturdy
steam craft that are known on the
seven seas as tramps.
All vessels that do not ply on regu-
lar routes may be said to be tramps,
and, while tramping may be looked
upon with disfavor by those who live
ashore, those afloat and the shipping
interests hold the tramp ship in high
favor A manufacturer gets large
order to deliver, say, at Tampico,
Mexico. There are no regular freight
ships plying from his nearest coast
port. Whta does he do? He tele-
graphs or telephones to a ship broker
at that port, and the agent charters
tramp steamer of the required cargo
capacity.
The skipper Of the tramp is the
man with whom to talk. He does not
care what the cargo may be-fruit,
oil in case, wheat, lumber, ties, dyna-
mite or sinews CT war for revolu-
tionary party in any part Of the world
just SO the price is in keeping with
the risk and the time required.
Among the calculations of the pro-
posed revolution that certain dissatis-
fed patriots may be contemplating the
question of transportation of their
army" and stores is a minor one, for
the members of the junta know that
for the price a tramp steamer may be
chartered. The risk to the owner?
Oh, that's nothing if the price is right.
During the Russo-Japanese war it
was common to read of both the Japs
and Russians destroying steamers
found to be carrying contraband. The
owners Of the steamers were satisfied,
for the men who chartered the ves-
sells had paid enough freight money
to Justify the loss. AS for the skip

their lives to enjoy their portion Of
the money paid, we'll and good. If
they went down, we'll, is it not all in

What tine Copy Boy Wrote.

Representative Dan Anthony Of
Kansas, publisher of the Leavenworth
Times, once had an office boy who
yeaIned to know how to use a type
writer-which accomplishment, the
boy figured, would make him regular
reporter.
Anthony turned an old broken-down
machine over to him, says the Wash
ington Herald, and babe him learn to
run it.
'Whatll writer" the boy asked.
"Oh, just take some sentence, any
sentence at ALL" Anthony told him.
and see how long it will take you to
fill page with it,
The boy set to work An hour or
two later Anthony CHANGED to notice
the page on which the lad had been
working. From top to bottom OF the
sheet, and from margin to margin, the
boy had written one sentence over and
over again until there was scarcely a
white spot visible on the paper. The
sentence the boy had selected to prac-
tice with was: "Who the - invent

a Tramp Steamer.

degree by the Yankee shippers of the
early days of this country. In those
days a young man returned from a
voyage with rating of second or first
mate and knowledge of navigation.
He wanted a vessel of his own; so he
organized company on a stock basis.
With the ship in commission the
captains real work began, and when
he slipped his mornings for voyage
he was going tramping, although he
called it trading" In his quest for
cargoes he did not bother where he
might have to go, his only stipulation
being that he should have a return
freight or monetary consideration.
Those were the days when trading
was not SO prosaic as today, for the
doughty shippers of sailing craft took
all kinds Of chances, especially those
who went over on the African coast,
swapping beads, mirrors, calico,
knives and other gimcracks for ivory.
Many Of those shippers were not
averse to ''blackbirding," as running
slaves was called, and many cargo
Of blacks was run to the states, even
after the British government started
in to break up slave trading.
It is to the tramp steamer that Eng
land owes her position as the foremost
maritime power. The crown has en-
couraged the building of liners and
tramps by the giving of subsidy. In
other words, the crown is a part own
er, but only in time of war does the
crown assert Its rights. Then these
tramps must respond, to be used as
troop transports, as many were dur
ing the Boer war.
