SENSE OF HONOR IN TRAMPS
Storekeeper Who Trusts "Gentlemen
of the Road" Declares They
Pay Debts Promptly.

In the north part of New York there
is a postmaster, who is also owner of
a small general store, who has ideas
about the tramp that are different
from the ideas entertained by the av-
erage citizen. The owner of the store
land the representative of Uncle Sam
is stationed at a junction of three or
four railroads, and nearby is a wood,
an ideal place for a tramps' camp,
which has been a rendezvous for
years.
Several years ago the storekeeper
began selling goods to the hoboes for
cash. He observed that the same
faces came in regularly, at intervals
of a month or more. Soon the tramps
began to ask for credit, and the store
keeper extended it. He found that in
variably the tramp came in and paid
his bill on his next return to the rem
devious, or if he were out on a long
trip, a money order would be sent for
the amount. He has dealt with the
shifting population for nearly 20
years, and declares he has never lost
a cent from a bad account with one.
He does not know the names Of his
customers, except as they are &C
costed by their fellows by the road
names they bear, and most OF the &C
counts are kept in the storekeeper's
mind.

Time Signals by Telephone.

A mechanism has been attached to
the time-clock at the Hamburg obser-
vatory by which the exact official time
is transmitted to the telephone sys-
tenn of the city. From the ffty-fifth
to sixtieth second of each minute the
apparatus transmits a musical signal,
which is followed by a photographic
announcement of the exact minute.
The signals are transmitted by spe-
'cial wire to the headquarters of the
telephone system, and thence to each
local exchange. Any telephone sub
scriber who wishes to get the exact
time has only to ask for the time con-
nection at his exchange and to listen
for the Photographic announcement.
This is an improvement upon the
American method by which time sig
mails are transmitted by telegraph only
once a day.-Youth's Companion.

Troublesome Moose of Maine.

Hancock county, which is in south
eastern Maine, is suffering a plague
of moose and up around the head
waters of Union river and in the. re-
gion of Saponic and Nickalous lakes
the people who stay on farms the year
around, are calling for help.
Last summer the animals did seri-
Gus injury to farm crops. This winter,
it appears, they have yarded in and
fed upon varieties of slash that seem
ed to be the honest pioneers last re-
source. One farmer writes the state
commissioners of inland fisheries and
game to the effect that several years
ago he bought tract of 200 acres OF
wild land with the intent to go over
it annually and cut out hoop poles.
He did that once.
Then, as he expresses it, about the
time that thousands of sprouts came
up "the moose came in" destroyed
the sprouts land continue annually to
destroy at least 5000 of poles besides
the growth" And this man and his
neighbors have no redress short of the
ultimate gun, since, though a state
law provides reimbursement for crop
damages inflicted by deer, moose do
not figure in this way in any statute

UP IN ARMS AGAINST CRITICS.
"Roasts" and Newspaper Makes
Plain Talk.

One can easily sympathize with an
actor manager, and not less, as in a
recent instance, with an actress-man-
agrees, who finds that personal esti-
mates of the merits of a play are not
Endorsed either by the critics or by
that far more important section of the
community, the playgoing public. But
the growing practice on the part of
those who control our theaters of
showing something like petulance, or
worse, when they find they have made
a mistake Is full of awkward posi-
bilities. Gerald du Maurier's outburst
is the latest instance in point. Be-
cause those whom he invited to ex-
press opinions on his new venture,
"The Dust of Egypt" told the truth
about it and failed to indulge in
paeans of'praise he writes a porten-
tOus letter to ask What Is critic ?"
The best answer we have seen comes
from A. G. Benson: Il suppose that
an expert critic is man with a natu-
raj faculty of discrimination which
has been trained by experience" One
is disposed to believe, after witnessing
the sorry stuff so often put upon the
stage, that little more exercise Of
a faculty for discrimination trained
by experience would be to the gen.
eral advantage in the enterprise of the
theater. 1t would spare the critics
many dull hours, the managers much
loss of money, and-where they can
not take their losses in a sporting
spirit-of temper, while the public
opinion of the stage and all it's works
would be immensely jmproved.-The

that that requirement might be easily en-

The police are required to report on Mon
