SIMPLE AND EASIER TO DO
Tramp's Method Not Altogether IN
like That Followed by Too
Many Others.


Hoboes came up for discussion in
Washington club the other night, and
Senator Nathan P. Bryan of Florida
told this anecdote along the Weary
Willie line:
Some time ago hobo meekly tap
ped on the back door of a suburban
home and asked for something to eat.
The good housewife responded that
she would feed him on the back step
along with Fido, providing he was
willing to earn the meal by cleaning
out the gutter
The tramp agreed, and when he had
eaten his way through several sand
wiches to feeling of happiness, the
housewife came out with a reliable
looking hoe.
you needn't have gone to that trou.
BILE, madam said the hobo, sizing up
the farm implement. Il never use a
hoe in cleaning out gutter"
Never use a hoe!" said the woman
with wondering expression. What
do you use, then, shovel?"
mo. madam" replied the hobo
starting for the back gate, my meth
cd is to pray for rain"

that they would be quarreling before
the ship was in the clips. It's that
kind of crowd"
"And what might the cause of the
row be?" asked MacManus.
The most serious thing in the
world" said Miss Sky. "One dele
gate said that another delegate was
old enough to have been one Of the
old-time suffragettes. Here! What
are you laughing at, Captain Mac
Manus?"
Il was thinking" chuckled the old
man; Il was just thinking what a
funny world this persists in being in
spite Of the efforts of science to the
contrary. You women never will be
anything but women. Now, look at
me; when anybody says to me, Cap
tain MacManus, you're old enough to
remember the days of the suffra-

she said. But for your benefit will
explain that the thoroughly modern
woman does not get angry when re-
minded of her age. On the contrary
she considers it compliment. There
are few women left, however, who
persist in allowing the old influence
and prejudices of sex influence them.
1t happened to be one of these that
started the trouble aboard the special.
AS for us-the modern women-you're
ridiculous, Captain MacManus."
Then you admit, Captain Nellie,
that you yourself are old enough to
remember the days of the suffra-
gettes?" asked MacManus.
What! Sir, how dare you'll" cried

THE RULING PASSION STRONG IN
SUFFRAGISM.

Captain MacManus, master airiga-
tor, retired, glanced carelessly at the
universal sun clock and calendar en-
oedded in the glass roof of the dis
patcher's room Of the F. C. & A. Aerial
INES New York float. The instrument
indicated that it was five minutes to
midnight of August /, 1862.
Hum" said the captain. Thine for
the Western Woman's special to be
signaling for cliproom. What's she
carrying tonight, Timothy?"
Wait until you see!" said the dis
patcher. Captain Nellie Sky certain
~ is bringing home the rare passen-
ger list tonight, Ha! There's her ray
working now. What! What's that
She's using her wireless phone for a
long message. Something wrong, l
guess"
The dispatcher sprang to the glass
cabinet, where the leaping signal rays
had spelled out the news of the COM
ing of the Western Womans special,
and thrust his head into the rubber
protected glass receiving hood. Two
minutes later he stepped out and
shook his head.
Those western girls certainly do
cut up when they come east on a
junket," he said. Rafferty," he said
to an assistant, notify our woman
chief of police to have two officers
here to meet the Woman's special.
Two passengers are under arrest, and

What's been happening on board the

"Oh, the same old stuff. Always
disorder on these woman iunkets. Row

of them locked in their cabins and

Population Of Earth.

The population of the entire earth
is around 1000, 000, 000-one thousand
six hundred millions. OF this number
Asia has over half. S5o.ooo.0O0; Africa.
127,000,000; North America, 100000
600; South America, 100000; Aus
tralia, 100000; Europe, $4,000. 900;
polar regions. 100000. There are no
means of estimating the increase of
the earth's population, owing to the
paucity of statistics and the compare
lively recent date at which any sort
of statistics were possible. But it is
safe to say that from now on, owing
to the spread of science, the human
increase will be greater than ever be-
fore. :

TWO KEEPERS SUSPENDED
FOR GRAFT IN THE TOMBs
Investigators Serving Voluntary
Terms Report Petty Ex-
tortions Practiced.

NEW YORK. February a6-As the re-
suit of affidavits by Investigators who
served voluntary terms of twenty-one
days eacf in the Tombs prison, Kath-
erine q. Davis. commissioner of correc-
uon. has suspended two keepers They
VIII be examined before the commission
er March l.
Reports of the findings of the investi-
gators were verified today by Burdette
G. Lewis, deputy commissioner In a
motor car borrowed for them by the
commissioner they were on a pretended
JOY ride for which they We're arrested.
They pleaded guilty to a charge of dis
orderly conduct and We're sent to the
Tonlbs January 81
The reports show the petty eAtortions
rracticed on prisoners known to have
money and the difficulties encountered
by prisoners with no funds pn their
arrival at the prison they said they
were told they might be put in the negro
tier because of lack of ROOM They
got the best rooms in the house on
payment of small sum to a keeper.
Deputy Commissioner Lewis said last
night that the two investigators had
forwarded to the district attorney.
The improper treatment of prisoners
suffering from drug addictions. they de-
clared in their affidavits, made the prison
noisy at night All sorts of special priv
ileges, including the granting of special
articles of diet, they sad. could be OBJ
tained by paving a regular scale of fees.
