EARLY CITY
HISTORY
Contributions on the pioneer
days of Richmond will ap-
pear in this column daily.

From six to twelve Independent
stage lines ran on the National road.
and a score of companies were in
the transportation business. The
schedule of the stage was thirty hours
from Washington to Wheeling, forty
Ave hours to Columbus, sixty hours to
indianapolis, and seventy hours to
Vandalia. Only thoroughbred Virginia
horses were used on the best line, and
the sound of the bugle was as certain
an indication of the time of day as
the passing of passenger trains on
the railroads at the present time. The
coachman was a man Of consequence
along the route, almost an idol for the
boys To see him dash up to post,
throw the lines to the stable boys.

team we're changing, then break away
at fifteen mile clip, was enough to
attract all the youngsters for mile
or two. The driver usually courted
this admiration, and never missed a
chance to take boy on the seat with
him-a favor the boy paid for with
apples and cider, and remembered with
pride during the rest of his life. These
men were we'll known from Baltimore
to Indianapolis, and thoroughly reli'
able.

Oil for Tranps.

Tramps hitherto have had holy horror for
water. A nights lodging preceded by visit to
the shower rooms of a municipal lodging house
was dreaded more than sentence to the stone
pile. The application of natures cleanser to his
anatomy was shock which the tramp spared
his constitution so long as he possibly could do
so. He feared it would open the pores of the skin
and expose him to the danger of catching cold
Chicago is trying experiment at it's munich
pal lodging house. It is substituting oil for
water. Instead of hurrying the man who has
worked two hours on the wood pile and gained a
ticket for a nights lodging to the bath room, it
now introduces him to the oil bath. His body re-
ceives what the Roman noble received the
final touch of his bath, amendment with OIL The
application of the lubricant in Chicago, however,
does not follow long visit to the bath room, but
takes its place. The medical superintendent of
the institution believes oil is better than water
when applied to hoboes. Whether cotton seed oil
applied to tramp can kill the body odor of that
species of citizenship is problematic.

his sweet fancy carries him. He plays on the
city dump and the city parks with equal abandon.
He haunts wicked places, talks filthy slang, sings
nasty songs, tells vicious stories, steals like q
magpie, swears like trooper. BY chance he en-
tiers church and sings the gospel hymns like a
cherub and listens to the sermon like an altar
boy.
There dwells in him a spark Of the same di-
vine spirit that animates your soul and mine.
Lift him across the dead line, or let his own ef-
forts boost him across, and your alley rat of yes
terday is the evangelist, banker, merchant fac
tory owner of today. Hundreds of alley rats
have become pillars of society," 'men of sub
stance and of parts" leaders and examples. They
disprove the theory of heredity and proclaim that
will power is stronger than parental defects and
sQualid environment.

ARE OUR SCHOOLS oEMocRArIc7

ARE OUR SCHOOLS DEMocRATIc7
While the average taxpayer is not an
educational expert he may at least be
permitted to question some OF the
practices of our schools. We hear
much about the adaptation OF the
course Of study to the children these
days, but the parents of pupils enter
ing high school may find 1t difficult
to understand why boy whose every
interest is in some line of hand work
is required to plunge into the study
of foreign language. To be told that
this Is required for college entrance
is poor satisfaction to father whose
son has quit school before the close
of the first month because he could
get no start in his German. The girl
who has no interest or ability except
in some line of house keeping arts is
not apt to be kept in school by COM
pulsory course in Latin.
And then the social life is an i'm
portant part of our schools, especially
of the high school, Text books and
necessary clothing tax the incomes of
many Of us, but why are we asked to
foot bills for official class pins, auto.
mobile parties to neighboring cities,
and other pleasant but expensive lux.
uries? A reply that no pupil need in
cur those expenses unless he desires
and can afford to do SO is of little
weight to parent whose children re-
fuse to continue in school unless al.
lowed to keep up with the pace set.
Is an automobile taste desirable
asset for a boy whose father has but
a wheelbarrow income? Or is the boy
who is kept in school from the wheel
barrow income supposed to stand aside
when his class is thus recuperating

Types In The Crowd.

ALLEY RATS-Every city has dead line
Below it is the region where walls cave in, roofs
leak plaster falls off, windows stay unmended,
doors hang askew, floors are uncarpeted, plumb
ing is neglected, fences lack pickets dirty wash
ings hang on sagging lines, men are slovenly,
women slatternly, children unkempt-it is the
loathsome region into which the scum and sedi-
ment Of the city collects in cesspool of deprav-
ity and shame Here lives the alley rat.
Sometimes he eats three times day; oftener
he scurries to school without breakfast; gets a
crust at noon, and at night is served such tan
talizingly small portion that it only accentuates
the pangs of hunger. BY day he shivers before
the icy blasts of winter in castoff clothing, and
by night vainly fights to keep warm under COW
ering of old rags and thin blankets.
He prefers the bleak alley to the dank howell
that is his home. He has parents. However, the
company of toughs and vagabonds is more en-
PERTAINING to him than the surly attention of
mother and the brutal tyranny of scamp called
