A TRAMP AND HIS PAI
THE TRAIL THAT ONE MADE TO GUIDE
THE OTHER.
It Enabled "Appetite Bill," After His
Term In Jail Was Done. to Unerr
ingly Follow Hi Partner From
Cincinnati to Houston.
"We have a good many tramps up in
our part of the country," said a sugar
planter, "and l've made something of a
study of their peculiarities. The old
idea that they carve miarks and signs
on fences that can be read by all other
members of the fraternity Is pure non
sense, of course. but I have known sev
eral instances in which one tramp
would leave a trail. so to speak, fur the
guidance of a partner who might not
put in an appearance for months.
"The first case of that kind I ever
encountered was rather amusing. I
was riding, one spring day, down a
road that passes through my place,
when I noticed a typical hobo indus
triously carving a sort of hieroglyphic
on a big post standing near the fence.
The mark consisted of a square and
triangle side by side, and he was just
putting on the finishing touches as I
arrived.
"My curiosity was at once aroused,
and I determined to find out if possible
exactly what the thing meant, so I pro
ceeded to collar the fellow, and after a
little vigorous bluffing he told me he
was putting up directions for his part
ner, who.would be along some time in
the fall. He assured me that the marks
meant nothing in particular, except
that he had passed and was going in
the direction of the point of the trian
gle.
"His partner, according to the story
which I dragged out of him piecemeal,
was doing a six months' jail sentence
for slugging a policeman in Cincinnati
and when lie got out on Sept. 1 would
strike south, following a trail of carv
ings on water tanks, depots, barns and
fenceposts. When the first tramp
struck a good place to loaf, he proposed
to stop and wait for the other to catch
up.
"'What's your partner's name? I
asked.
"'It's by rights William Sparks,' said
the hobo, 'but everybody calls him
"Appetite Bill" on account of his al
ways being hungry. He carries a sack
to pack grub in and has red whiskers
and a funny looking wart on one side
of his nose.'
"I was satisfied from my prisoner's
manner that he was telling me the
truth, so I took him up to the house,
gave him a good dinner and sent him
on his way rejoicing.
"Now for the sequel." continued the
planter. "One afternoon in the fall I
was driving home from the station
when I passed a very dilapidated hobo
with red stubble on his chin and a gun
ny sack under his arm, and some in
stinct told me that Mr. Sparks, alias
'Appetite Bill,' had at last arrived.
He seemed to be looking for land
marks, and when he reached the big
post I saw him stop, scrutinize the
carving and then start off with a new
and confident step. That settled it,
and I drove ahead and intercepted him
at the house, half a mile farther on.
"'Hello, Bill!' I said. 'How's your
appetite this evening?'
"'Appetite?' he stammered and gave
such a violent start that he dropped
his gunny sack.
"'Why, yes,' said I. 'Perhaps they
didn't feed you very well at Cincin
nati.'
"At the word Cincinnati he turned
livid and glared around with such evi
dent intention of bolting that I made
haste to explain.
"'Don't be alarmed,' I said. 'I met
your side partner a few months ago,
and he told me to look out for you.' It
took me some time to dissipate Bill's
suspicions, but when I finally succeed
ed in convincing him that it was all
right he told me a most interesting
story of his journey across the coun
try.
"A professional hobo will follow the
track of another hobo with an accura
cy that Is curiously suggestive of wood
raft. All the way down from Cincin
nati Bill had never once lost the trail,
and before he left I gave him an ad
dressed postal card and got him to
promise me he would put it in the mail
at whatever point he caught up with
his partner. Less than a month later I
received the card, bearing a Houston
(Tex.) date mark; so I presume it was
there they met.
"Both of these tramps could read and
write, and I asked Sparks particularly
why his, friend didn't use some brief
message in place of the hieroglyph.
He replied that it would attract too
much attention, and other hoboes
would be likely to add misleading
words, while the little square and tri
angle passed unnoticed.
"Since then I have encountered two
ther nearly similar cases, in each of
which a tramp was leaving a cipher
trail for a crony to follow when he got
out of jail, and I infer that the prac
tice is tolerably common. At any rate
It is a curious feature of tramp life
which I have never seen mentioned In
any of the numerous papers and maga
ine articles that have appeared on the
subject during recent years."-New Or
leans Times-Democrat
Easily Fixed.
"Awful affair at our hotel this after
noon. Cook got angry and cut the end
f a waiter's nose off with a carving
knife. But one of the guests fixed It
up all right"
"How?'
"He gave the waiter another tip."

Cheese la Swiss Families.
The social rank of a family In' Swit
zerland Is estimated by the age of its
cheese, and the greater the respect dpe
to or the affection for a guest the 9Idq.r
is the cheese set before him. Thea
are in each pantry at least as may
cheeses as there are boys and girls in
the family, for at the birth of every
child a cheese is made.
It Is first cut Into on his or Aer wed
ding day, on which festive occasion all
the guests partake of a piece of the
groom's and.the bride's cheese In order
to. secure for them all earthly thrift
and happiness. The rest is served as
a token of friendly souvenir and heart
felt mourning after the tomb lin clos
ed over his or her earthly career.
Moreover, when a Swiss youth falls
in love and wishes to pay court to the
girl of his heart he goes to her father
and asks permission to share the fami
ly dinner next Sunday. This is al
ways granted if lie Is respectable, for
it would be considered a deadly insult
to refuse. The anxious question in his
mind is, "Will papa bring out the
cheese?"
Papa does not usually hurry to re
lieve his fears, having the family dig
nity in mind and wishing to proceed
with due deliberation. If he is indeed
satisfied with the suitor, he at length
rises from his seat, goes. solemnly to
the cupboard, takes down the oldest
piece of cheese, splits it and hands a
piece to the youth and one to the maid
en, and from the moment they have
tasted it they are betrothed.
Both Had Been Out.
"The revenue cutters of the United
States, as you may know," said an offi
cer of one of them who likes his little
joke, "confine their services, which are
really invaluable to the government, to
thre coast, and it Is a rare thing indeed
for any one of them except those of the
Bering sea patrol to venture any dis
tance out to sea. Nor is this rule an
unsatisfactory one, for, say what you
please about it, sea service is not as
pleasant as the novelists and other ro
mancers would have you believe.
"But I am getting off of my story,
which applies to the cutter Grant when
she was doing duty In New York bay
and vicinity. Something had happened
to call her down the shore somewhere,
and she left the bay one afternoon, and
early the next morning, while she was
bowling along at about seven knots an
hour, she Lailed a big four master.
"'What ship is that?' came the cry
from the Grant.
"'The Royal Bengal Tiger, 243 days
out from Calcutta,' came the reply.
'What ship is that?'
"'Revenue cutter Grant,' was the
plaintive answer, 'and we've been out
all night.' "-Washington Star.
A Bold Little Bird.
The honeybird is a well known deni
zen of many parts of the TransvaaL
It has the unique peculiarity that it
does not fear men and women, but
actually flies up to them, uttering a
plaintive low note and, flying about
their heads, tries to lead them on to
the nearest clump of rocks or kopje.
The bird knows full well that under a
certain rock lies a store of honey, con
cealed by the cunning bees, and, rock
honey being as much esteemed by
birds as by human beings, the clever
little fellow tries to induce a friendly
being with two strong hands to push
aside the rock, so that It may get to
the honey.
If it succeeds In its object and the
traveler on the veldt, attracted by the
bird's flutterings to and fro between
imself and the rocks, finds the honey,
the bird changes its plaintive tone to
one of joy and pleasure, as much as to
say, "Thank you very much."
Epitaphs In a Tyrolean Churchyard.
A German traveler has discovered
some quaint epitaghs in a Tyrolean
emetery.
On a tombstone In the valley of Tux
was this inscription, "In pious remem
brance of the honest widow Anna
Eriedl, 40 years long." A miller is
thus remembered, "In Christian mem
ry of--, who departed this life with
ut human assistance."
A farmer whose Initials only are
given and appears to have been the
author of his own epitaph has this
memorial: "Here rests in God F. K.
EHe lived 20 years as man and 37 years
s husband-"
On the tomb of a man who fell from
a roof and was killed are these words,
"Here fell ,Tacob Hosenknopf from the
oof Into eternity."
This wail of a desolate husband caps
he clmarx, "Tears cannot bring thee
ack to life, therefore I .weep."
A Good Exouse.
"You wish to be relieved from jury
uty, but you haven't given a good rea
son," said the judge.
"It's public spirit," said the unwill
ng juryman, "on the score of economy.
[ have dyspepsia, your honor, and I
ever agree with anybody. If I go on
this jury, there'll be a disagreement,
and the court will have to go to the ex
ense of a new trial."
"Excused," said the judge.-Tit-Bits,
He Knows Her.
She was a Washington woman well
aquainted in diplomatic circles. Talk
ng about Washington people one day,
some one asked her:
"Do you know Senator Blank?2"
"Do I know Senator Blank?" she re
peated. "Yes, I do know him, and he
knows me. He will never forget me.

Efficient Cavalrymen.
"Speaking of cavalry," said a veteran;
fficer, "probably the hardiest andl

ever saw were some of the Confederate
squadrons in the civil war. Why, For

THE JUDGE'S ADVICE.
Given to a Man Who Wavered Be
tween Religion and Politics.
A well known western representa
tive in congress. Pleading an engage
ment, left a small group of talkers in
an up town hotel lobby. and an elderly
man, whom he had introduced to the
party, made bold to tell a story about
the departed.
"I have known him." he said, "ever
since he was a boy, and when he came
out of college he was undecided wheth
er to become a lawyer and politician or
go to a theological seminary and be
come a clergyman. lIe was fond of
politics and thought that with a little
law and more religion on the side he
might become a great moral reformer.
You know that's the way most all very
young men feel when they undertake
politics for the first time.
"However, before he had had time to
determine finally what he would do,
his friends came after him to run for
the legislature, as he had the availa
bility and a pretty fair amount of cash.
This brought him face to face with
the question he had been much dis
turbed over, and he went to Judge
Blank, a veteran in politics and a maln
of the hig- -st character, for assistance
in solving the problem. He stated his
case in full to the judge, and the grand
old man put his hand on the young
man's shoulder.
"'My boy,' he said, as only he could
say it, 'it can't be politics and religion.
It must be one or the other. You can't
fit yourself for heaven and for the leg
islature at the same time, and there's
no use trying. That is all I can say,
and you will have to make your own
choice.' "-Washington Star.
A KAFFIR SMOKER.
The Native Women Are Enthusiastic
Devotees of the Weed.
In South Africa the native women
smoke incessantly. Your native serv
ant smokes as she cooks and as she
washes. The tobacco she likes is rank.
The dainty cigarette an English or
Russian lady of fashion enjoys, smoked
through a quill so that no nicotine can
stain either teeth or fingers, would be
sneered at by a Kaffir. "Give me a
pipe and something in it I can taste,"
is in effect what she says.
The men Kaffirs are beyond tobacco.
They smoke something so vehement
that it makes them cough and splutter,
lose their breath, choke and sneeze to
an alarming degree. They like snuff,
too, and are fond of offering and taking
pinches of it ("schniff" they call it)
when they meet and visit one another.
Regarding tobacco as too mild for
their taste, the Kaffirs take another
weed and smoke that. They proceed
to arrange a smoking party by squat
ting on the ground and getting ready
their "pipe," a cow horn with a thin
tube in it inserted half way down at
right angles to the horn. The end of
the tube is in a basin, and it is from it
that the smoker sucks the strong stuff
that makes him incapable of anything
but a series of coughs and chokes for
some time after he has had his turn at
the pipe, which is passed round from
man to man until a perfect chorus of
coughs rends the air.
The tobacco the Boers smoke looks
like poor tea and is peculiar in flavor,
yet Englishmen who have become used
to it acquire such a taste for it that
they never ask for any other kind.

Fasting.
Personal experience is the best teach-.
er. I have fasted 48 hours at a time
without the slightest discomfort, but
drank in that period many gallons of
water, of the plainest, most Croton
kind. I once had acquaintance of a
pig that fasted 160 days. A dog can
fast two months without being much
the worse. Rabbits live three weeks
without food, while cold blooded ani
mals can go for years without eating.
The bear in a state of hibernation
passes into a kind of trance; so we
shall not count him. The alligator like
wise "dies" in the long months of win
ter, craving no food. There is a fish
alled the father lasher that can live
a month out of water. That is fasting.
We have heard the tradition about the
toad that was sealed in a rock for
5,000 years and hopped about in lively
fashion when released from his archm
nomous prison. A horse has been
known to fast for a month.-Exchange.
Iii Alaska Growing Warmer?
Prospective visitors and gold seekers
in the Klondike region may extract
some comfort from the discovery, made
by the Harriman Alaska expedition,
that most of the glaciers which abound
in that territory are receding. The
fact is an indication that the average
weather there is growing warmer. If
it were growing colder the glaciers
would be advancing, while if it were
about the same one year with another
they would maintain the same general
position, neither creeping nearer to the
sea nor melting away from their termi
nal moraines. The rate of glacial re
ession is so slow, however, that fur
overcoats and warm sleeping bags are
likely to remain as a part of the neces
sary equipment of Alaskan travel for
some years to come.-Leslie's Weekly.
Wonders of New Hampshire.
The average reader will be amazed
to learn that little New Hampshire,
ith less than 10,000 square miles, has
o less than 400 lakes and ponds, 154
brooks, 58 rivers and 294 mountains.
This makes Iowa look small. Colora
o, a big state, has 556 creeks. Texas
as comparatively few rivers, lakes
and creeks. Alabama has 003 creeks
and 87 rivers. Iowa cannot approach
that record. Minnesota has 222 lakes
nd 140) rivers.-New York Press.

A STORY OF DAN RICE.
The Great Clown Did Not Forget the
Tent Man's Bill.
One story of Dan Rice, the veteran
circus clown, illustrates his strict sense
of honesty and gratitude for favors.
Once he was stranded in Cincinnati,
the story goes, and was unable to start
a show on the road because he had no
tent and could not raise money to buy
One. The tent Rice needed would be
worth $2,5010. The manager of a tent
concern sent for the clown one morn
ing and, taking him to his factory,
showed a big tent that was just finish
ed. Rice looked at it with hungry eyes.
He turned away, with a sigh.
"Fine tent. don't you think'' asked
the canvas maker.
Rice looked back at it over his shoul
der, with another deep sigh.
"It's yours," said the tent man.
Rice was like a playful kitten in an
Instant.
"I believe there is a lot of money in
you yet." said the canvas man. "You
take that tent and start your show,
and if you ever get money enough to
pay me for It the price is $2,500."
Within two weeks Rice was on the
road with a show and began a success
ful career. For 15 years he never re
ferred to the tent, although lie often
met the man who made it. One after
noon he asked the tent man to be his
guest at one of his shows, then in Cin
cinnati. The two sat looking on. and
Rice remarked:
"Fine show, don't you think,"
The canvas man declared that it cer
tainly was.
"By the way," added Rice, "here's
that $2,500 I owe you." He took a roll
of bills out of his pocket and handed it
to the tentmaker, who pocketed it with
out unrolling it. The old tent man lov
ed to relate this story and always de
clared that the great men of this coun
try were P. T. Barnum, John Robinson
and Dan Rice.-New York Mall and
Express.
THE BABY'S LITTLE JOKE.
It Worried the Fat Man, but He Tried
to Enjoy It.
It happened In one of the late trains.
Everybody was trying to get to sleep,
and when the voice of a baby was sud
denly lifted up in a robust wail it was
not met with expressions of joy. It
cried steadily from Spring Garden
street to Columbia avenue. Then it
accidentally dropped a pasteboard box
it had. A very stout and, like his kind,
very affable man across the aisle
stooped heavily and picked it up.
The child stopped crying as it took
It and promptly dropped It again. The
man, thinking it an accident, picked
it up once more. This time the baby
actually smiled, and as he threw it
down audibly cooed with delight. The
man looked distinctly uncomfortable
and became interested in something
outside the window. The child looked
at the box a moment, then at the man,
and, seeing nothing else, resumed his
wail, with much added wind. The
look of despair resettled on the face of
the woman with the headache, and she
gave a convulsive shudder as she felt
her head beginning to jump.
She gave one awful glance at the
baby and then leaned over to the stout
man, back of whom she was sitting.
"My dear sir," said she, "I have a vio
lent headache, and I am in misery.,
Won't you please pick up that box
again?" And with a highly artificial
smile he complied. Out of pure cour
tesy he became a box lifting autom
aton, his piles of adipose making each
stoop come harder. But when he wip
ed the perspiration from his brow and
staggered out of the car at German
town he got a grateful smile from the
afhicted woman, as well as every other
passenger, that he felt paid him.

Snow Fleas.
One of the strangest of all specks on
snow is the snow flea-no mimic flea,
but an actual living and very lively
midget, whose swarms sometimes cov
er the snow in patches as black as ink
or convert large spaces of its surface
to a dark gray color. They are crea
tures of the thaw. I have seen patches,
says Wiliiam Hamilton Gibson, two
feet in diameter moving like a dark
shadow across the meadow, and I re
member once when a boy walking on
the snow crust over a field of several
acres that was everywhere peppered
with their millions.
The books tell us that the insects live
in moss and lichens and the rocks and
bark of trees, from which they emerge
for exercise in mild weather. This
theory is probably warranted by the
facts, but it will be no easy task so to
convince many a rustic philosopher
whom I know and to whom these fleas
are as much a celestial shower as the
snow i tself.-Boston Transcript
Limits to His Gratitude.
"I feel that I ought to make some ac
knowledgment to the people who were
so kind to us during my late wife's last
sickness," said Mr. Phiroogle, "and I
would like to have you insert this card
of thanks in a prominent place in this
week's paper."
"We are obliged to make a charge
for these notices," replied the editor of
he Weekly Blizzard, looking over the
manuscript, "and this wvill cost you
$1"
"Then you needn't publish it," re
oined Mr. Phroogle. "I am not quite
s grateful as all that comes to."'-Chi
:ago Tribune.
Her Reason.
"Why did Mrs. Frizzington, the rich
widow who furnished all the money
for the business she and you have
started, want the name of the firm to
be 'Rootle & Frizzington' instead of
Trizzington & Rootle,' as it ought to
be, seeing that she is much more heav
ly interested than you?"
"She didn't want to be referred to as
'the senior partner.' "-Chicago Times
