Is To Haze a Home
After Sleeping In Alleys

When Felipe Ortez. a waif and an
orphan. entered the court room Of
county judge Adrian Pool Monday af-
ternOon he had little idea that before
the sun went down he would have a.
place in the home Of ]. o. Taylor of
the United States customs service.
Into Felipes IL years have been
crowded experiences that few children
have suffered. Born in Riverside. Cal,
the son Of a naturaiiZed Mexican, Felipe
found himself a few weeks ago in
Torreon an orphan and abandoned. His
father met a violent death at the hands
of another Mexican. Then his mother
ran away with a Carranza soldier.
leaving him to shift for himself. Felipe
Is bright and a very Hkable boy and
he fell in with Carranza soldiers who
brought him to Juarez and he came
to FL PasO.
It was not all sunshine on this side,
however for it was hard to get things
to eat and there was no place to sleep
except in dry good boxes in alleys. In
some manner he got hold of a blanket
and he wrapped himself in this when he
sought his couch among the boxes.
His case came up Monday afternoon.
Mrs Taylor, who had become interested
in the boy offered him home and
judge Pool accepted the offer on behalf
Of Felipe.

Barefoot Gene" Tells How
to Discriminate Between
Bum and Worthy Tramp.

Barefoot Gene" Willard warns Ell
Pasoans to make life so miserable for
the professional hobo that he will give
the city n wide berth at all times Eel
PasO is one Of the best tramp towns of
the southwest" according to Barefoot
Gene" whose permanent place of abode
is up i'm Chelsea. Mass. and who has
acquired national reputation as 4
barefoot hiker, having tramped bare
footed in practically every state from
the St Lawrence river to the Rio
Grande. and thousands of miles beyond.
q heard Of FL Paso long before I
got within a thousand miles of the
city" said Willard. professional buns
who have succeeded in escaping the
city chain gang-and their number is
a considerable One-speak highly of
the hospitality of FL PasO During the
time that 1 have knocked about the
great southwest l have heard El PasO
spoken Of as the buns paradise and
after making a sociological survey of
the city I am led to the conclusion that
the good Teople Of FL Paso pamper pro-
fessional tramps more than is proper
for the best interests of society"
Barefoot Gene" arrived in Ell Paso
in a "sidedoor Pullman" over the Ell
Paso and Southwestern. He boarded
the train near Hachita, New Mexico,
and found II free train riders
there ahead Of him. 1.-THE whole bunch
was FL Paso bound and nearly every
man had visited the city before and
they were praising the town in grand
STYLE" he said.
"The sole ambition of the majority
of the fellows. as far as I was able to
ascertain, was to tank up and take
things easy in Ell Paso for awhile.
There We're but two men in this party
who were really looking for work. One
Of these had been working in the mines
in New Mexico but had been laid off
because of work stacking up
The good people of Ell Paso make
the identical mistake that the people
Of the rest of the country make" points
out Willard. They fail to draw the
line sharply between the want works
and the won't works quite fire.
uuently It is hard to distinguish the diff
ference and In this modern day of
rush, people DO not take the time to
thoroughly investigate the applicant
for assistance. The fellow who calls at
your back door and asks for something
to eat and doesn't offer to give some
thing in return for it, is in nine cases
out Of ten a professional bum and you
do your duty TO society in shooting him
along. The man who calls al your back
door and asks fOr something to eat and
insists upon doing some work about the
premises in payment for the food you
give him is in nine cases out Of ten an
honest man out Of work. The test is
one very easily applied and hope from
now on every Ell Pasoan will apply 1t |
with determination.
