[Copyright. 1905, by McClure, Phillips & Co.] I HAVE lodged at a seven dollar per day hotel and I have slept under a haystack, and as near a.? I can make out it's all a matter of conscience. If you've concealed an ace up your sleeve to beat the other feller you'll wake up feeling sort o' mean. Ten years' experience on the road has taught me that there is little inducement for Weary William to speak the truth. On the contrary, the bigger his lie the more generous his meal. It isn't being sent to the county jail that I consider as degrading to a dilapidated gentleman who is padding the Hoof to see me country ana stuay Human nature, but it is the fact that he must associate more or less with a jailer who ought to have been born a dog, but didn't happen to be. If I can provoke a political or a religious argument with the average farmer and let him win out over me [ am sure of a good breakfast. If he feels that I have had the best of it I Have to march on with a piece of stale bread and a slice of fried pork. Since I took to the road I have found out, among other things, that Columbus, Pliny, Diogenes, Plato and the like were only very common clay. When fou want a real tiptopper you must go to the country constable. Even string beans have to ask him if they may ijrow. I seldom strike a house in the rural districts but what I see the Holy Bible prominently displayed on a stand in the parlor, and in most instances Uncle Reuben is engaged in trying to figure ? * _ _ rat how he can make tnree pecss 01 potatoes fill a bushel basket. Three things, if worked right, will always get a tramp a night's shelter and something to eat You must satisfy the man of the hous? that your leaning is toward his church, no matter trliat the faith. You must convince the iired man that he can husk more com than any one else in r_he county, and Fou must say that you heard of the svife's cooking and rag carpet making cvhile still twenty miles away. There is but little inducement for thrift on the part of a tramp. The lirst rear I took the road I saved all the feathers from the hens I stole and :oasted, or set out to, but I hadn't got mlf enough for a pillow when I was lrrested. They were used as evidence to convict me, and I was jailed for linety days. It's a mistake to suppose that the lverage tramp is devoid of sentiment My word for it, he appreciates a line lit of scenery as much as the man in iroadcloth, but at the same time he has jot to study ways and means of getting nto the cornfield and out again without the owner seeing him and raising a jreat row about it. "Look a-here," said Uncle Reuben to lie one day as he straightened up on lis hoe in the cornfield and looked at ^ <r^ '"LOOK A-HEFJv," SAID "UNCLE lCEUBEN. me in a paternal way. "Why don't you have some ambition about you and earn a place for yourself among men?" "How shall I begin?" I asked. "Waal, now, if you'll begin work right away and work hard till sundown I'll be snummed if I don't give "nil nil +lin nnni. mi'lL* TA)1 Mil flrinl* J VU UU U1C OVUl U111U J v/v? VIAU and throw in two turnips to encourage your* "What caused you to take to drink and why don't you stop it?" are two questions always hurled at a tramp before he has had time to get his teeth into his cold meat. As a matter of fact, tramps are the most abstemious class I know of. A tramp's got to have a sober head to pursue the profession. I think most men pity their Aogs and horses and cows, but it ends there. If a tramp comes along on a night when the thermometer stands 4 or 5 degrees below zero he's expected to turn in on the haymow without a blanket and take his chances of becoming an angel before morning or of being able to turn out and cut half a cord of wood ^ X. 1 lux: u tea ceui ureuKiusu I was once arrested and taken sixty miles on suspicion that I had committed a murder. When they figured it out that I couldn't have possibly been on the scene the justice of the peace sentenced me to sixty days in jail. "What for, your honor?" I asked. "For not being the murderer," he blandly replied. M. QUAD. ^ v. | THE DISPATCH F | job Printing Office j; /I 5 * fi w/i N H t: % t 2 ? $ 1 I f* ?j \j I LEXINGTON, S.
