fellow comes along just starting out

realizing that within few short
years the same youngster will be an
exact prototype Of the bully tramp
she had Just turned away"
Now if she would only get his
name from him and his address,
and talk to him in a nice way about
his home and mother, and If she
would tell him about the fearful
shame and disgrace of leading the
disgusting life Of a worthless tramp
all his days, Stunned. despised and
bounded by humanity, there would
be good chance that he would go
back and it would be a help toward
reforming large number of the
boys"
A No. l" makes his transient
expenses by the sale of two books
the first being Life and Adventures
of A No. L." tells of his travels
among tramps all over the world.
The second Hobo Camp Fire Tales"
is a true story of the pitiful hard
ships of the road. Both show the
dark side of tramp life so that any
restless boy will get good idea of
its disgusting features. They can
be purchased in any bookstore and
on every train for Is cents and are
worth every cent of it in keeping
boys at home.
"A No. u has proofs in the
shape of manv lctters Of gratitude
and numerous newspaper clippings
mentioning names of men in all
walks of life whom he has sent
home in the past. He devotes nearly
every cent of his revenue in sending
boys back to their homes and future
usefulness.
He was asked why he had not
written his books sooner as they are
illustrated and highly interesting
stories and he stated, that lately

after Twenty-Five years Of rowing, he
had come to the conclusion that the
dangerous, senseless and pitiful life
he had led all these years have been
wasted. and that perhaps by telling
his own pitifnl experiences he
might possibly prevent others from
following, his footsteps. He said
that to force a boy to stay at home
after he has once started to wander,
is almost impossible, as the maxi
mum, once a tramp, always a
tramp" has been many times pro-
ven to him by actual experience. as
he has met many boy of fine fam
lily and home who never knew of
the filth, misery and dangers. a
tramp comes constantly in contact
with yet cannot resist the call to
wander.
In 1894 he received $1,000 cash
and a beautiful medal from the Po-
lice Gazette for tramping from
New York to San Francisco in
eleven days and six hours, and with
$3.50 of this prize he bought a tomb
in cemetery in Cambridge Springs
Pa. The epitaph will be a silent
everlasting warning to others who
seem afflicted with this strange
longing to roam, very aptly called
Wanderlust" and is simply:

A NO. |" TRAMP
STOPS IN MARIETTA
Is Well Informed and Talks
Interestingly of His
Wanderings.

Have you ever seen queer caba.
listic sign painted on depots, fences
and barns along the railroad rights
Of way or carved artistically into
shanties, water tanks, etc. "A No.
l." with the date and arrow beneath
it?
II you have never seen it. watch
for it and you will be surprised to
notice for how many years some of
these marks have been decorating
those above mentioned places. It
is a queer sign, yet it means that
A No. l." the worlds most famous
tramp, has passed through and left
his mark showing the date and d.
rection that he was journeying.
This man, whose only known name
is this sobriquet, "A No. l." visited
Marietta last week and made a per-
sonal call on The Journal and gave
some very interesting experiences of
his rowing life.
He is well known to all the local
railroad men, yet no one ever heard
his story, nor that his fame rests
upon actual facts. 1t will, no doubt
be interesting to repeat the same
here:
He has hoboed since 1883, 500,
275 miles and has spent only 1851
on railroad fare.
He has been around the world
three times.
He has prevented more than
twenty wrecks, wears $40 suit of
clothes and gold watch, keeps his
name a secret, does not chew, smoke
drink or gamble.
A tramp gave him his name in
1883.
Kid, you are all right" declared
the older one, at the end of a par
ticularly hard journey. You are
A No. II The title has stuck and
the wanderer has more than lived
up to it, for if ever a hobo's life
could be said to be a success, it is
that of this man. He travels in
overalls and jumper, but after
arriving in town divests himself of
these and appears in a neat suit;
is always clean shaved and has a
very prosperous appearance.
He has memorandum book full
of cards and letters given him by
railroad officials. Many of these
state that he has prevented the
possible loss of human life and pro-
perry by telling train operators,
when beating his way, of broken
car wheels or other Heterogeneous
and thus has prevented serious
wrecks and disasters. He has been
in five wrecks, but luckily, has
never been hurt.
He has autographs and endorse

,ments given him by President Taft;
Ex-president Roosevelt; Thomas A.
Edison, the inventor; Luther Bur-
bank, the plant wizard, and many
ether eminent Americans.
He also has an autograph letter
from Jack London, the author,
telling of their companionship on
the road together in 1894.
During his travels, "A No. /"
has learned four languages Eng
lish, German, French and Spanish.
His parents were of the French and
German Municipalities, but he was
born in San Francisco.
There is something about the
man, aside from the distinction
which his remarkable career carries,
that is strangely appealing. 1t is
perhaps the humanity Of the man,
or the pathos that lies mutely con-
cealed in his life, that makes him
so strangely attractive. Endowed
with all the necessary qualities fol
success in life, he is yet homeless,
friendless, nameless, by an element
in his make up which has gained
mastery over all other impulses
and motives, namely, the Wander
lust"
Gripped in its subtle power i'm
pressed by its resistless influence,
he is forced to lead a life, the bar
renness of which he realizes and is
condemned to roam ceaselessly all
over the world without a destina-
ton in view, to be a nomad of civili-
cation. He knows the yearnings of
other men for home and friends,
but the master yearning of all is to
move on and by this he must be
governed.
Whenever A No. /" meets a
runaway boy upon his journeys he
gives him a talking to that is al
most certain to make the lad home
sick, and glad when "A No. -
purchases a ticket sending him
home to his parents.
If the boy is already confirmed
wanderer "A No. l" teaches him
his own motto; Never associate
with anyone in whose company you
would be ashamed in broad open
daylight to pass your mothers
home"
He entertained the office for ar
hour and a half with his instructive
stories of the road and the solution
of the tramp problem.
About 100000 minors run away
from home annually" said "A No. T.
Of this number over $4,000 become
confirmed hoboes 1000 are crippled
$500 are killed and the rest can
only stand the hardships of tramp
life about 10 years, until they are
in poor house.
80 per cent of all tramps started
their aimless rowing as runaway
boys. By sending boys home when
first they runaway, there is no need
to send later on old hoboes to jaiIs.
So many mothers, if they only
knew it, are the cause of many
young men living the hobo life. II
