GET THE HOOKS.

Far more than for the movies, the
speaking stage or the bizarre dance
halls is there a need for a censor OF
those newspaper stories exploiting
the super-tramp who is travelling on
a wager from Jackville to Jerusalem,
or some other specified points, with
no means save those of his own
mooching.
This miserable species of the
hombre happens into Kokomo at
more or less frequent intervals and
hogs a column or so of space that
might more proftably be given over
to liver-pill propaganda. Why in
spire the youth of the land, already
prone to the dissipation of wander
lust, to emulate this peripatetic pan
handler.
Is it a particularly proud achieve
ment to break the laws of the land
by cheating the railway conductor or
by laying on the sympathetic land
lord for an uneamed meal? Let the
newspaper lads give the hooks to this
sublimated hobo.
Why, the typical tramp with pro-
truding toes, rent shirt and the
badge of tomato can strung over his
shoulder is far and away the more
picturesque figure. His rags are
loyal raiment to borrow from the
melodramatic Hal Reed, compared
whit the more reputable castaways
which foolish folk bestow upon this
ingratiating beggar and usually
four-ply liar.
There! That's off me chest. 1t
may not be funny; but there's
more sound hoss-sense in it than in
anything that is at all likely to fol-
low it.

MICE DRIVING RANCH
Frs TO DESPERATION

Ranchers living up Bear River in
the Knight district state that never
in the memory of man has there been
so many mice as may be found there
this spring, and hat the pesky crea-
lures are taking all of the food in the
fields, They report hat there are
millions of them, and h~ouseholders
have resorted to the expedient of
placing the table legs in pan of wa
ter to keep the creatures off the ta-
bles.
The great natural enemies of mice
are the hawks, and it is suggested
that hunters refrain from killing these
birds.
A half dozen setool children dur
ing one noon hour killed 236 mice,
which is evidence hat the menace is
not an imaginary one.

A WHAT is 1T"
ON THE UPPER NIAGARA

biologists are trying to classify a
peculiar form OF animal life found by
Edward Briggs in an intake on the
upper Niagara River. The freak is
twelve inches long. The fore part of
the body resembles a lizard, while the
hind part looks like a fish. The eyes
are very small and the mouth is like
that of a catfish.
The animal, or whatever it is. is of
spotted brown color and has a smooth
skin, no scales being found anywhere
on the body. 1t has four legs, the feet
being formed like human hands but
with only four fingers. The ears have
four lobes with a tuft of hair on each
lobe. The freak is alive and now in
Briggs possession.
