    A MUCH-TBAVELHD NEWSBOY.
Jce Sepp'a Lost a rm Was as Good as a
Ticket on Most Railroads.
from the New York Sun.
Little Joe Sepp, a lively newsboy of 13,
■who sells the Sun every Sunday on the
streets of Reading, Penn., is probably the
most experienced boy traveler in the coun
try. In twelve months he traveled 6,000
miles by rail, across the continent and all
through Mexico, and never paid a cent for
all that riding, although he journeyed
alone and was entirely dependent on his
own resources. He covered the whole dis
tance, as he says, by “bumming it,” always
on through freight trains, except on one
occasion, when he struck a lucky lift on a
passenger coach. He has only one hand
and arm, the left, but his empty right
sleeve has been rather a help than a draw
back to him, for the watchful brakemen
whom he encountered on his travels never
had the heart to put him off when they
sized up his age and hight and noticed that
little sleeve dangling empty at his side.
Little Joe s face and general appearance,
too. are always prepossessing, and his big
brown eyes, shaded with long, drooping
lashes, and his healthy, jovial, round
cheeks win him friends at sight wherever
he goes. He is the brightest and liveliest
sort of a boy, and is a regular wonder of
pluck and self-reliance.
Little Joe formerly lived in Sodalia, Mo.,
■with his parents, who originally went from
this city. When he was 10 years old be lost
his right arm below the shoulder by fooling
around a passenger engine with some other
boys, as boys will do. Two years ago the
family removed to Kansas City. He grew
restless at school and wauted to travel, so
in July of last year, unknown to his father
and mother, he left home and struck out
for the great southwest. It was night when
be crawled over the back gate and slipped
off to the suburbs of the town where the
big freight trains are side-tracked. He got
on one of the outward-bound trains lying
in the yard and hid himself in an" im
mense boiler inside a box car on the Atchi
*on, Topeka and Sante Fe road. A brake*
man discovered him the next day, but,
instead of shoving aim off the train, gave
him something to eat then, and each day
afterward during the trip. The train went
straight througn to Santa Fe, N. M., a
distance of 675 miles. Joe immediately de
termined to make himself useful, and to
earn enough money to keep him in food and
clothing, so ho did odd jobs here and there,
carried baggage to hotels from the trains,
and ran errauds. He knocked about in
Santa Fe awhile, and then visited Fort
Stanton, Albuquerque, Las Vegas, San
Michael and other towns in New Mexico.
Afterward he went successively to El Paso,
Chihuahua, Jubmes, Zacatecas, San Luis
Pc tom, nnd Sau Juan del Rfr, remaining at
each city a few weeks, and finally reached
tfb City of Mexico Dec. 1.
liy that time Joe hod picked up a very
serviceable smattering of Spanish. He
frequented the passenger depots in the
capital city, and noticed that a great many
American travelers got off the cars every
day. A bright idea came to him. He won
dered if he couldn’t make money by inter
preting for these Americans when they
struck the town. He went into the pas
senger depot and offered his services to the
station master. That official laughed when
he saw the one-armed boy and heard him
make the offer to serve as interpreter, but
finally engaged him. Then Joe had all the
work he could do, and the American tourists
whose sachela ho carried, and for whom he
gave directions at the hotels in Spanish,
paid him handsomely. Some days he
netted as much as $9 and $lO.
Joe, however, spent his money freelv. The
Mexican circus captured hia fancy, and he
attended the performances every night.
The best seat on the top row cost sl, while
the cheapest seats were to be had for 25
cents. Joe always chose the top row. He
greatly enjoyed the bull fights, too, and
other vigorous outdoor exercises in the city,
and never missed any sporting event that
was considered worth witnessing. Besides
the fun of seeing these things, Joe found
tnat wherever the biggest crowd was there
was the best chance tor him to make money
by interpreting. He acquired a great fond
ness for Mexican pancakes and peppered
beans and highly" flavored hodge-podge,
which he habitually bought from Mexican
street peddlers. He remained in the beau
tiful city until the lattor part of March,
when, with some regret, he struck out to
return to the states, having a strong desire
to see life in Texas. Ho entered Texan
territory through the eagle pass, and made
Ins way at once to San Antonio. There
after a time he boarded a fast freight on
the Missouri, Kaunas and Texas road, and
went Hying northeasterly through Texas,
and up through Arkansas and Kansas to
Topeka. Thence he boarded another train,
and reached Kansas City, but as he himself
expresses it, “went humming through it,
aud didn’t stop, having no use for that town
then.” From" Kansas City he went to
Joliet, 111., and saw the big penitentiary
there; then on to Chicago, then back to
Xt. Louis, to Louisville, then Indianapolis,
then again to Chicago. On the trip
from Indianapolis to Chicago he rode
on the platform next to the tank of the en
gine on a passenger train. It was a cold
night in April, and he pulled his jacket
over his eat s. The engineer saw him and
was about to put him off when lie saw that
Joe had only one arm. That circumstauce
touched the engineer’s heart, aud he helped
the waif up on the engine. As sonatas the
train made the first stop the engineer said
to the conductor, “Put that boy iu a car,”
and the conductor did so. A month later
Joe turned up in Pittsburg, where he heard
people talking about the great Conemaugh
disaster. He hurried to Johnstown, and
spent a week there looking at men digging
up drowned bodies. After that he went to
Altoona, then to Harrisburg, and finally
reached Reading the latter part of July.
Relatives of his mother reside here, at 145
Maple street, so he hunted them up and
went to live with them. Here he is happy.
£ Speaking to-day of his experiences, Joe
said: “I enjoyed myself everywhere on my
travels. Of all the states and territories I
have been in Texas is the toughest. It iB
better to ride on fast freight trains than on
passengers, because there is less danger of
being put off. I never rode on a truck un
uer a car. That’s too much for me. I
never trained with stiffs, or bums or
tramps. £ used to see them put fly blisters
on their hands to make people believe they
were burned, aud then they’d go off and
beg.”
Joe’s father had written repeatedly from
Ransas City to relatives here concerning
Joes whereabouts when he was on his
travels, and Joe wrote back when he
reached here that he was all right. Now
jus father writes that he will send him a
ticket to come home, and Joe says, with a
bright smile, "I guess I’ll go when I get the
ticket.” Meanwhile, he earns lots of money
filing the Sun.
