An eighteen year old Chicago girl y enjoys the distinction of being the frst of her sex to make a long jour 1 ney by stealing a ride on a freight t train. It is not strictly true to say that she enjoys this distinCtion. When her experience was over she declared emphatically that a life on the roll ing freight did not appeal to her. "No more hobo life for mel'' ex claimed Miss Sarah Hansen, as she crawled out of a box ear. Miss Hansen is a stenographer. Her parents live in Chicago, but she had a job in St. Louis. Thrown out of this by the firm's failure, she tried in vain to find a.nother job. First her slender savings melted away. Then she pawned her clothing, e piece by piece, till she had only one s suit left. Her parents were poor, so s that. she could not appeal to them for help. She did appeal to one of the firm for whom she had worked, asking him to lend her the money for a ticket back to Chicago. The reply she re eceived made her decide that anything would be better than to trust to ap v Aeals for help. She was at the e.nd of her resources, when it suddenly occurred to her that she had heard of people travelling without. railroad tickets and that what other folks had done Sarah Hansen could do too. On the spur of that inspiration she enade for me freight yards of the Chi eago and Alton railroad. There she 0 found an embarrassment of riches in the line of freight trains. s They were scooting up and down and switching back and 'forth in the most diseoneerting manner, for it was i imnpssible to this new recruit to the hobo profession to decide in which direction any one train would ulti nmately decide to depart. But an an a gel in the very unusual disguise of a small boy appeared and told her that . No. 6 on thue third track was the Clhi *1 eago freight. That was welcome in formation. a Slipping away from thme small boy s ang~e, Miss Hansen stole along in the t shadow of No. 6 until she came to thie s open door' of a box car half full of -tiles. She climbed in and craw~led inito the corner to await developments. These promised to take the unwel come shmape of two other hobos, who w ere not pretty girls, or even girls ait all. One of thenm had actually climbed into the car and had turned to assist his brother knight of the road, whelin an ap)proachuing brakeman caused them both to take a hurried depart M\iss Ha.nsen r'ode all night Oil her n.ione too soft bed of tiles. Morning caine andi hour after hourW went by without her' leing molested. But at Joliet she crawled to the door for the .purpose of spying out the land and d (iscoveiing her~~'hereabouts. Instecad of (discovering, however, e she was herself discovered,- for at thle door she caime face to face with the braikemnan. It was a toss-lip which of' them was thle more dist urb~led by thle - When the amazed brakeman man t aged to demand the whly and where e fore of her pr.esence in his car Miss . Hansen burst into tears and told him all about it. ''Well !'' said the brakeman: ''I e thouht I 'd seen every kind o' hobo , that ever heat a freight train, but you 're the first lady hobo that ever caine my wayt" W Xhereupon, like a gentleman and a a philanthropist, lie emptied his pockets a of their contents, which were 60 cen t., r and advice to complete her journey ,via the trolley line. The girl took both the money and the advice, got herself a the first food she had tasted in twven ty-four' hours and departed forever so she vowved, from the ranks of the r hobos.

Agent, I Introducing A Lecturer. Carl Schurz in campaigning a doz- f< ell years ago, was making speeches in t< the west and Eugene Field was de- h< tailed by a Chicago paper to accompa ny him. In a small town in Michigan, says the New York Sun, no one had had been selected to introduce the n: speaker. Schurz and Field walked up f, on the platform, and were greeted tj with a lond cheer. Schurz asked the newspaper man to introduce him, and Field, ambling to the front of the platform, saift in a very husky voice: "Ladies and shentlemens, I regred i (lot I liaf such a sore throat dot I can C not, address dis evening. I am very 2 sorry alretty for dis disappointment. t] Howefer, I am more dan bleased to il tell you dot I haf with he my young e yournalistic frienidt, Mr. Eugene n Field, of Chicago, und he vill now speatk to you about steel rails.'' When Field began this introduction * Seburrz was puzzled, and when he con cluded it the speaker of the evening looked angry. Despite Mr. Schurz's preliminary explanation that lie real Iy was Mr. Sehurz, the people who heard him on that occasion have been divided iii opiiion as to whether the speliker was Schlrz or Field. The Farmer and the Auto. Some years ago soon aifter the an tomobiles begap to be used throughout ?, .)lC the United States, an agent of a New C York house turned up at a village in central New York. le explained to an old farmer the virtues of the new tj machine, dwelling upon what a time saver it was, and withal how fashion able it would be for the farmer to be able to ride down to the village in one of the new fangled machines whenever lie wanted to. 'Why,' said tlie salesman, '' when- - ever YoU go to tihe postolee, bank or store, everybody will stop and stare at Farmer Wilson, aid pretty sOOII yOU 4 will be tlie most talked of man inl the whole country.'' The farier thought he needed a cow1 more thain an auto, but, fin1ally agree'd to let tihe agent .liring one of lie machines over. When the agent re,'turnedl with it some days later the farmer took him in chlar'ge and car riedd him dut to the lot and showed him a tine .Jer'sey cow. '' That' s what T bought, with the money I savedl upl for you,'' said the farmer. A nd without wvait ing for the agent to recover from his surprise he wvent on: ''I 'lowed I needed the cow mor'n I did the miachiine, and there ain't she a beaut ?' When the agent recovered his bireath lie said:q 'You'll look funny ridling that cow to t.own, won 't you?'' 'Ya-as,'' diawled the old farmer;( 'but I 'd look a darned sight funnier ( tr'ying to milk an automobile.'' Had rirst Ohance. Trho IHon. .John C. Rlay, a prominent ('it izen of Manchmester', N.

'Well, 1I(don 't know,'' r'eplied the father. ''I could have bought them first if I'd been a mind1 to.'' He had met the farmer first. Too Busy To Grow. A small ornee boy, who had worked in the same position for two years on a salary of $3 a week, finally plucked up enough courage to ask for an in crease of wages. . ''How much more would you like to have?'' inquirecd his employer. ''Well,'' answered thme lad, ''I dlonl't think $2 mnore a week would lhe too much.''
