The following inscription, neatly writ
ten, was found yesterday at an aban-
doned camp, seemingly just vacated:
"St. Louis Shorty, wire worker, and
New York Shorty. Southbound. Feb
ruary Z, 1915" On another sheet Of
paper was a neat drawing of the camp,
showing the surrounding scenery, and
worded as follows: "Hobo camping in
the pine woods of louisiana" These
two shorties are evidently artists in their
line and deserve better fate.
