a high school graduate, twenty years
of age and Il finished musician.
In that one night Cupid accomplished
for the roamer what "A No /" had
been trying to do for himself for Il
quarter of Il century.
Love was stronger than wanderlust.
and they We're engaged. The announce
ment caused CONSERVATION among the
ladies of Erie. They whispered about
the outrage of pretty Miss Trohoski
throwing herself away on a hobo
Some Of her friends came to her with
tears in their voices and pleaded with
her to reconsider it. All in vain. Miss
TrohOSki replied that hers was not the
common variety of hobo. She was
right. He is the most remarkable
roamer in trampdom.
"a No. Is" history is too well known
to require any detailed comment He
ran away from home when he was
eleven years Of age and became yegg
man kid. y yeggman tramp doesn't
beg; he robs; he would blackjack a
man for meal. He always has kid
to travel with him. for the child can
stand outside while he is cracking a
safe and give him the signal when a
copper" approaches. Besides. the kid
with the appeal that his tender yearg
makes. can get food for both by beg
ging for it. while a regular old tramp
would be more likely to get Jail.
The yeggman that this hobo travelled
with thirty years ago called him "a
No. 1" kid. The boy got his ''monicker"
from this; tramps never have real
names. They are called "Alkali Ike"
or BOX Car Bennie' or the like. Ask
"a No. u his real name, and he will
reply, "Sh-sh-just a No. l. y
He has picture Of himself and Jack
London taken during their companion
ship on the road in 1894. "a No. 1"

William II. Taft. Anotaer card has this
terse note: 81 know A No. L to be

"a No. I" has prevented twenty rail
road wrecks in as many years. he has
letters from three different railroad
presidents thanking him for his saving
Of property and life.
"a No. l" won a $1,000 wager once
by 'deadbeating" his way from New
York to San Francisco in eleven days
and six hours. With $3.50 Of this he
bought tomb at Cambridge Springs.

Bears Emulsion is the Best rlade.


John D. Bear, Elkton. Va.
Dear Sir: My wife had long. linger-
ing cough all the fall. and.nothing SEEM
ed to do any good, until DR.. Gordon
gave me prescription for Bears
Emulsion. After the first few doses 1
could see that she was much better and
was continuing to improve every day.
l can honestly say it is the best thing
for cough, colds and midtown system |
ever saw. Joe Cook.
Elkton, Va, r. F. D.
Don't let your cough go until it weak
ems your lungs so that it will be easy
for the tuberculosis germs to get hold
of them. Stop and think how awful it
is that 5000 people died last year in the
State of Virginia from consumption.
And do you think you are doing the
right thing by not taking something TO
build up your body so it will withstand
he'action of this awful germ. A weak
rundown system is the one that fur
nishes the best feeding place for the
germ. If your druggist does not have
1t, ask him to get it for you. Or we
will prepay express on it to you until
he does get it. One dollar bottle, or
six bottles for five dollars. John D.

pasted asbestos thickly all over the
outside Of his furnace proper. He had
never seen this done before, yet tried
the experiment, and reports enthusi-
astically that the saving in his coal
bills Of one year made it worth while.
Formerly he had been wasting heat
upon the cellar air. A man who fol-
lowed his example had the asbestos
bound to the furnace cylinder with
wire hoops instead of paste.
Another valuable place to paste as
bestos is over the hot water tank.
Water can thus be kept at higher
temperature. 1t is most serviceable
in seasons of the year when the fur
mace is not needed to warm the house.
A hot fire of kindling wood in the
furnace in the morning will heat a
tank full of water. For the entire day
the water will keep warm, as the thick
asbestos coating will serve to keep
the heat already generated. When one
has a gas heater for water in the
summer the water, once warmed, car
be kept at good temperature with.
out further lighting of the burners
during the day.

Important Test {
Is To Be Made

San Francisco, Jan. 14.-One hun
dred pounds of nitro-gelatine, the
highest explosive known to military
men, will be hurled from a United
States army aeroplane over North
island at San Diego.
The terribly hazardous performance
will constitute the climax to a series
of tests to be conducted by the war
with bomb throwing de-
vice invented by Lieutenant Riley E.
Scott.
The biplane will be piloted by Lieu
tenant Davis, one of the army avi-
ators, and the explosive will be dis
charged from a mile high in the air
by Lieutenant Scott.
Lieutenant Scott is the West Point
er who invented the device, which was
refused by the United States army
three years ago, and which he took
to France, winning all the prizes Of
fered for successful device of this
description. His total winnings in
France amounted to over $4,000.
The test is to be made during the
next month, as soon as the machine
arrives from Paris.

Tent Ownership
Involved in Case

A case involving the right to oc-
cupy tent house on 40-acre tract
southwest of town was up before JUS
tice of the Peace I. Mayfield yesterday
afternoon. William Holtz, who claims
to be the owner of the property, was
arrested and charged by Thomas Lane
with disturbing the peace, it being
alleged that Holtz drove Lane and his
wife from the house.
According to testimony of Holtz he
is the owner of the place and has
never given Lane permission to oc-
cupy the premises. Holtz took up his
40 acres seven years ago, he and his
wife living on the place and improv-
ing it. Two years ago they went to
Seattle to live leaving the place un-
occupied. He came back few days
ago and finding the Lane family set
tied on the farm asked them to va
cate and when they refused drove the
man and woman off.
! A deduction of Lanes story is to the
effect that he and his wife, while
driving through the country came
upon the place, and finding it de-
serted entered and took possession.
They were undisturbed and believing
that the farm had been given up re-
manned and greatly improved the
place.
Justice Mayfield took the matter
under advisement and will render
judgment the latter part of the week.
