GIRL TRAVELS AS HOBO
SHE PASSED HERSELF OFF As A
MAN on THE ROAD.
Her Sex Was Only Disclosed When
She Objected to Take Bath at a
Rest Home.

She Objected 70 lake q 6atn at
Rest Home.
Masquerading as a hobo In order
to reach the bedside OF her sick
mother, Miss Edith Pogue, the nine
teen-year-old daughter Of Henry
Pogre, Of Maysville. KY, was taken
into custody by the police at night
when her sex was discovered upon
her refusal to take a bath after she
hal applied at the Wayfarers' Rest
fer shelter at Louisville, KY. Miss
pogue travelled from Cairo, ILL.,, to
St. Youis, and from st. Louis to
Louisville over the Louisville and
Nashville railroad, q 500 mile trip
that it took four days to make.
All of the last day she held to the
rods, standing on the bumpers. with
the rain beating mercilesslly down
upon her until the water literally ran
III streams from her clothing. Frang
C'Brien, 21, accompanied the girl
from Evansville to Louisville, but
thought she was a man. OBrien
was astounded when he heard that
willie Anderson, as he knew Miss
Pogue, was girl.
Don't think hard Of me-" the
young woman said to a reporter, Il
was working in Cairo when heard
that my mother was dangerously Ill
at home in Maysville, Ky. I felt I
ought to go home. I had no money.
Then I decided to 90 home at any
cost.
"I rigged up In an old suit belong
ing to the man in whose home I had
been working as nurse girl, and
had my hair cut of. I left Cairo
and went to St. Louis. I took the
Louisville and Nashville train out
for Louisville. It was cold, and most
of the time it has been raining.
"Mr. O'Brien? He got on the same
train with me at Evansville, and
knew so much about the road that
we decided to travel together. He
didn't know that I am girl. Be-
fore I got to Evansville I rode part
Of the way in an engine cab. The
fireman asked me to help shovel coal,
but / couldn't. He may have guess
ed my secret. He was nice to me
and didn't put me of. I had hard
time getting anything to eat on my
travels. I had little money and l
wouldn't beg"
The identity Of Miss Pogue was
discovered, as stated, at the Way
farers' Rest when( as is customary
with newcomers, the young woman
was asked to take a bath. A half
dozen homeless men were engaged IN
securing themselves in the bath
rooms, and the attendant met with
an absolute refusal from willie An
derson." At the same time he MOTTO
ed the crimson color mounting the
"tramp's" cheeks. Coupling the re-
fusal, blush and the soft musical
voice of the supposed young man
together, the attendant guessed the
strangers sex.
From appearance with her face
covered with CRIME for four days
riding on freight trains, the wayfarer
is a man. But the instant she re.
her cap or speaks suspicion IS
aroused. After the girl had washed
her face all doubt was removed.

A SUBLIME. SPECTACLE.
South Africa's Great Natural Wonder
Victoria Falls.

Just as every visitor to the Unit
ed States heads straight for Mag
ara. so every visitor to South Africa
purchases forthwith ticket to the
Victoria falls of the Zambezi. the
mighty cataract in the heart OF
Rhodesia, which is the greatest nat
ural wonder in the dark continent
and perhaps in the world.
The natives call the falls Mosl-
oa-tunya, which means Thunder
ing Smoke" and you appreciate the
names significance when your tram
halts at daybreak at a wayside sta
ton sixty miles away and you see
above the treetops a cloud OF
smoky vapor and hear a low huff,-
ming like million sewing ma
chimes.
1t is so utterly impossible for the
eve, the mind and the Imagination
to grasp the size, grandeur and
beauty of the Victoria falls that it is
futile to attempt to describe them.
If you can picture an unbroken
sheet OF water forty city blocks in
width hurting over 'precipice
twice as high as the Flatiron build
ing you will have the best idea that
| can give you of what the Victoria
falls are like.
They are unique in that the level
of the land above the falls is the
same as that below, the entire
breadth Of the second greatest river
in Africa falling precipitately into a
deep and narrow chasm, from which
the only outlet is an opening in the
rock less than 100 yards wide
From the Boiling Pot, as this
seething caldron of waters is call
ed, the contents Of the Zambezl
rush with unbridled fury through a
deep and narrow gorge Of basaltlc
cliffs, which, nowhere inferior to
the rapids at Niagara, extends with
many zigzag windings for more than
forty miles.
II y first glimpse of the falls was
in the early morning, and the love
ly, reeking splendor Of the thing,
as the great, placid river, all I'M
conscious of its fate, comes sudden
" to the precipice's brink and
plunges in one mighty torrent into
the obscurity of the cavern below;
the crush as Of unceasing thunder,
the rolling clouds of spray, the
trembling earth, the somber rain
forest on the opposite bank and
rainbow stealing over all, made a
picture which will hang on the walls
of my memory as long as | i've,
