 Types we meet: "The Hobo.' Il has been oft times stated by those who are taken as authorities that the hoboes are recruited, as general thing, in two ways: Some times they become inooulated with a lust to roam, they want to see the scenery some times it is case of the man with the instincts of the rabbit being bounded in the life of the road. It so came to pass that along about 2 o'clock Sunday afternoon the rain began to come down something after the manner of water over spillway. We took shelter in barn. Soon after we were stretched out on the hay, a Weary Will rambled in, very wet Whether he threw the "bull' or not, we can not accurately ascertain, but his talk was interesting and seemingly not the product of imagina- tion. His was an instance where the life in the U. S. navy, set forth in series of pictures, lured. After the navy the broad highway and the iron trail called. He had followed. His record, he said, was 3S states and ''God only knows how many cities, town and villages. ' He looked some seedy. He said the life was some hard. And as he went his way, after the cessation of the storm, his last words were "Hang on, buddies, ," which we interpreted as meaning "stick to what you re at: keep from the hobo life.' Not long ago we met another type-he was, in the parlance of hobodom, a ''musher. l" He didn't have sand. He was kicked about when he had been higher, and he was kicked about by his friends of lower levels.
