HOBO BUSINESS
LOG KEPT BY HUMAN DERELICT
SHOWS A PROFITABLE
INCOME.

Minneapolis, Sept. 15.-When FL
mer Norton. who had been on the
road since July %, saw the great
white lights of Minneapolis, a sys-
tematized business as a hobo" that
was paying him $1,000 a year above
travelling expenses came to an end.
On the person of Norton, who is now
in the workhouse, Detective Thomas
j.. Kelly of the Great Northern sta
ton detail found a notebook contain
ing, in ledger form, the expense ac-
count and profit and loss account of
the hobo" business.
In tw~enty-nine days of travel in
which a bookkeeping process that a
professional expert accountant scarce
ly could criticize was followed, all
that came in and all that went out of
the pocket of Norton was set down.
The figures afford the first evidence
the Minneapolis police department
ever has seen of the cost of conduct
ing a personal tour, in boxcars, on
latcars, on truck or blind baggage,
and occasionally paying fare. 1t
shows that If carefully conducted,
such a business pays good dividends.
Elmer Norton, 35 years of age,
with only one leg, a winning way, an
aptitude for figures and a written
card of appeals for help, left Parker,
S. D., July 27. In thirty-nine days.
until he came into Minneapolis in the
state fair week crowd, he was in sixty
towns or cities. Faithfully he put
down income and expense as he vent
along.
Norton carried a small pocket led
ger ruled off into columns for towns
reached, distance travelled, fare paid,
when he paid any, total amount re-
ceived in each town and balance on
hand when leaving the town. When
Norton struck Minneapolis he must
have had nearly 500. Business was
best at Window, where he took in So.
He averaged not less than SO in every
town visited. Expenses were light.
Norton told Detective Kelly that
he only intended to pass through
Minneapolis and to continue carrying
on his business in the small towns.
But the great white way of the city
after nightfall tempted him, and
when taken into custody by the de-
tective, after he had been several
laws in town, nothing remained OF
the accumulated profits of the bust
ness.

DAMAGE SUIT
AGAINST RAILROAD COMPANY
BY PASSENGER FAILED.

Yankton, Sept. 15.-In the circuit
court at Yankton a case was just
tried in which there is more than
passing interest as 1T is far reaching
in railroad travel. A man named A..
b. Hills purchased a ticket at Sioux
Falls for Violin. When the tickets
were taken up by Conductor Geelan,
Hills was given the usual check,
which the law has already determin-
ed was in the nature of a receipt, and
to be preserved by the patron of the
road. Mr.. Hills changed his seat and
when asked for his ticket later said
he had given up his ticket, which
was to Yankton, and had lost his
check. Conductor Geelan was not
satisfied with the explanation, as it
happened he had only n passenger
for Yankton and he was a we'll known
citizen travelling on mileage. The
conductor checked up his tickets and
decided Mr.. Hills was not telling the
truth and he was told he must pay
his fare to be put off at the next sta
ton, !. which was Davis. There was
some trouble, but Hills. which the
evidence showed made no effort to
find his check in his clothes, got off
at Davis as ordered. He brought suit
to recover damages. 1t was salts
factorily proved to the jury hat the
railroad was in the right, and a ver-
dict was returned In accordance with
that belief, even IL the verdict was in
favor of q railroad corporation. which

 RELIEF FOR BE[G|ANS
Million of People Said to Be Utterly Des-
 titute

London, September 23.-The lord mayor of London today appealed to the British people to come to the aid of the starving people in Belgium, of whom, he says, a million and half are utterly destitute.
 "We are not yet half awake to the tragedy of Belgium says the appeal Even MT. Hoovers wonderfully effi- cient neutral committee cannot feed one and a half million destitute peo- pie on less than pence per head per day, which amounts to no less sum than a21s,570 ($1,o .s5o) a week.
 T am convinced that the city of London will not rest content until fl has taken the place it usually occupies in every really great benevolent move ment"
 The lord mayor then announced the formation of a strong committed, in- cluding Viscount Bryce and host of other prominent men to manage the fund and appeals to people of every class to subscribe.
 There is no doubt if food is not sent" the lord mayor adds, "the Ger mans will allow the Belgians to starve or will shoot them down if hunger riots occur"

Tortoise Outlives the Hare

From the Kansas City Star.
 The ages of living things vary from a moment to hundreds of years. The tor toise is said to take the prize among ali land animals for length of years. This animal lives under favorable conditions, 300 or 400 years. One died in London ill 1906 which was said to be at least $50 years old The crocodile. too, sometimes lives to be 300
 The tortoise has to give up to the whale. however for the latter often lives to tho age of 800. That is probably the oldest age reached by any creature which exists upon the earth today.
 The common little English sparrow lives longer than most of us imagine. Scien- lists tell HIS that some of them get to be 40 years old. This is ripe old age for so small bird. The robin, which is much larger. lives only 10 or 12 years The eagle holds the record for age among the birds It may live to be 100.
 The elephant lives, on the average. about as long as the eagle. The oldest age among our common domestic animals is reached by the horse which often reaches 30 or more This is practically the same as the age of lions and cameis The COW may live to be 25, the dog 15. the rabbit about 5. Most of us know, how ever, of cases in which common beasts or birds have lived to much greater ages than are allotted them ordinarily.

Washington, September 23.-Louis N. Hammerlin of New York, president of the American Association of Foreign Language Newspapers, called at the White House offices today to assure President Wilson that his organization has nothing to do with representations of Dr. William Forgo of Brooklyn, who claimed foreign newspaper editors in this country wanted William J. Bryan to go abroad to work for peace. pr. Forgo saw MT. Bryan recently to ex- tend such an invitation.
 MT. Hammerlin declared that pr. Association of Foreign Language Newspa pers which MT. Hammerlin said included in it's membership practical ly all newspapers in the United States published in foreign languages.
 Our association" said MT. Hammer lin. stands behind the President and will do nothing to embarrass him. We have nothing to do with MT. Bryan s going and do not want him to go abroad
 MT. Hammerlin added that an inves- tigation is being conducted to learn whether any members of his associa- tion have accepted subsidies from for eign governments during the present war. If any were discovered, he said they would be expelled.

SMITH FREED AFTER
 YEARS IN ASYLUM
Slayer of Eugene Laurent of Nashville Adjudged
 Sane and Released

Meridian, Miss, September 23.-Charles R smith, who several years ago at Ar tesla, Miss, shot and killed Eugene Lau- rent, a widely known Nashville, Tenn, travelling man, and whose trial on a charge of murder attracted attention throughout the country because of the part national organizations of travelling men are said to have taken in the prose- cution was adjudged sane here today and ordered released from the East Missssip- pi insane asylum. Smith killed Laurent while laboring under delusion that Lau- rent had wronged a member of his family During the trial the innocence of Laurent was established and Smith was given a life sentence, but the governor of Mis- sissippi later pardoned the prisoner upon condition that he be committed to an insane asylum. Smith lately sued out a writ of habeas corpus and Judge Venable
 in circuit court today, in adjudging the plaintiff sane, ordered his release. declar- ing that the governors pardon had re- moved all charges of the crime. Testi- mony was offered to prove that Smith was an alcoholic paranoic at the time of the tragedy but that during his confinement in the penitentiary and later in the asy- lum he had recovered his sanity.
