TRAM PS.

There are so many kinds of tramps
that one gets confused at hearing the
word, tramp spoken. For instance,
there is the church tramp, that is one
not only visits every church, but who
actually joins them all and obeys the
rules of none, and when he finds that
here are no more churches for him
to join, he sits down and finds fault
with all of them. Then comes the
secret order tramp. If he is high
flyer the way he can travel as for
his degrees, why he passed through
them like a dose of salts and he, too,
is soon gone. where to nobody knows
The entire country seems to be in
tested with the tramp; there are many
kinds of tramps. however, but few

servation of the public and they would
not be so prominently noticed were
it not for the positions they occupy.
Take the clergicaI, first he storms, but
as soon as he finds out that the task
is a hard one he, too, folds his tent
and glides away, and as for the others
as soon as their stars begin to grow
dim they, too, fade away, and are no
more.
