Come by Chance, and then he wanted to know
about the chances of obtaining some rations.
He said:
Il believe this is old Jimmy Tyson's station
and I understand he is very mean man
said did not know anything about him
Anyhow said Jimmy. well 20 up and see
the storekeeper and find out if we can get some
rations."
Jimmy knocked at the door and out came
the storekeeper, and before Jimmy had time to
ask for rations he said that he did not feed
tramps. Jimmy asked the storekeeper how
long he had been at the station and the man
said it was two years.
We'll, that's two years too long replied
Jimmy, "ano tomorrow you can go to the man
ager and get your money that is coming to
you, for am Jimmy Tyson, and have always
made it practice to give plenty to all tramps
to take them to the next station. So you are
fired, and will get one Of the tramps at the
station to take your place
Jimmy Tyson was known for his charities in
other lines, but he was not man to be pushed
into any enterprise. He had given check to
e parson for charity, and the parson, looking
at 1t and seeing it was for $40, remarked on
the smallness Of the amount. Jimmy asked for
the check, and the parson, thinking he was
going TO write larger one, handed it over but
Jimmy tore it to pieces and walked away To

friends. The saloonkeeper hinted that he
would like to have payment, but Jackie put him
off by saying that he did not dare bring
check to light among SO many "cutthroats' and
that he would settle up in the morning. Finally
the next day he threw over piece Of paper
without scrap of writing on it. The saloon
keeper was furious, but could do nothing. A
little while later Jackie discovered another reef
and made good his debts. He discovered rich
black opal mine, but on going home the worse
for liquor one night he fell down a shaft III this
mine and ended his career.
Jackie Dent was another we'll known
character. He had made his pile in Cali
fornia in the rush Of 40, but liked to try
the road with the sundowners He dear
ly loved joke, and when two tramps called
New-York tribune., 1921-06-19

at his ranch in Australia, Jackie said: III
give you job You see that big gate near
the roadway? Well, you big fellow, you
swing your mate on the gate and I'll pay you
ten shillings day"
Both agreed and they were on the job
about three hours, when the smaller fel-
low told the big one to change places with
him, to which he readily agreed. Jackie
came along and, seeing the little fellow
swinging the big one, he roared out:
Who's bossing this job around here? Who
told you to swing that big hulking loafer,
anyway? Both of you are firedr'
tramp called at Jackie's house and
asked him for job, and Jackie set him at
work on big iron-bark tree in the ranch
yard. The tramp was expert and he
had not been working very long before he
brought the big tree down with crash,
whereupon Jackie came out in rage and
said that the fellow had spoiled his chief
anusement-tAst over 500 tramps had
hacked at that tree and never had been able
to make any impression on it.
Jackie Dent used to travel good deal
on the open road, living as a tramp, and
he once showed up at cattle auction in far
off part of the country. He bid against the
richest men in that part of Australia, and
when he brought out his check book and they

SO much money Jimmy replied: by minding
my own business"
Another rich Australian who was endowed
with peculiar rowing propensities was Jackie
Dow who went sometimes horseback and some
times by boot, which latter suited him better
He was a graduate Of Edinburgh University
He discovered some Of the greatest gold and
copper reefs in Australia, also one of the
largest silver mines in the world. the Broken
Hill mine, in New South Wales. His favorite
trick was to hunt up a lot of hoboes and then
buy couple of dozen bottles of champagne for
the crowd.

Persistent RumOrs Are Widespread
in Seattle and Tacoma That
Petition Will BE Filed

The secretary Of states Office was
kept busy yesterday and Is being
kept busy this morning answering
telephone calls and kilograms in re-
gard to the persistent rumors which
are widespread in Tacoma and Seat
tie that petitions are being circulated
in both cities for the recall of Gov
ernor Louis F. Hart. 1t was ru-
mored that a committee was to be
sent to Olympia to find out the legal
procedure necessary in such action
or to file a petition for recall. So
far the committee has not appeared
at the secretary Of states Office to
secure information on the matter or
to petition for a recall.
The Seattle rumors were to the
effect that Joseph Manning and Mrs
Joseph Mclaughlin, both whom have
been active in the Seattle agitation
of rcall Of the governor, were COM
ing to Olympia to file the petition
calling for recall of the governor,
based chiefly on the claim that the
signature Of the poll tax bill was
Washington standard. [volume] (Olympia, Wash. Territory) 1860-1921, 1921-04-01

In the event that such a petition
is filed, and the secretary Of state
accepts 1t. it will then be necessary
for the filer Of the petition to get
one-fourth of the total vote at the
last election cast for candidates for
governor to sign the petition asking
for the recall.
After the county auditors have
checked the names as to the legality
of residence and eligibility to sign
the petition it would then be trans
ferreu to the secretary of state and
he would count the names and If
the petition had 100000 signatures,
he would set the date for a special
election to take place not less than
10 days and not more than Is days
after the final check. In case the
majority voted for recall the lieu
tenant governor would take the place
of governor.
There is being very little stock
taken of the whole affair about the
state house and members OF Repub-
lican political circles consider the
whole affair great joke. 1t is
stated that the grounds are INSULT
cient to recall the governor on,
therefore the secretary of state
would refuse to accept the petition.
