life could be said to be a success, it
is that of a jumper, but after ar
riving in a town diceets himself of
these and appears in a neat suit: is
alway clean shaved and has a very
prosperous appearance, :
He has a memorandum book fnll
of cards and letters given him by
railroad officials Many of these
state that he has prevented the
possible loss of human life and prop
erty by telling train operatorcs‘
when beating his way, of broken
car wheels or other disarrangements
and he has prevented serious wreck
and disasters. He has been in five
wrecks, but luckiiy, has never been
hurt. l
:
Healso has an autograph letter
from Jack London, the author, teil
ing of their companionship on the
road together in 1894.
Dnring hie travels““A No. 1’ has
learned four languages, English,
German, French and Spanish, Hi
parents were of the French and
CGerman nationalities, but he was
born in San Franeisco. |
His toilet is complete, though it
takes a lile roem to carry it, L
~ansists of a toothbrush, soap, comb !
and a few other necessities, Hisl
carving tools are two knives, kcpt‘
very sharp. Blackening and shin-l
ing rags occupy a part of his pock
ets, also a pocket edition of Web-l
ster’s dictionary, a rather strange
ook for a tramp to carry. |
He enartained the office for an
hour and a half with his instructive
stories of the road and the solution
of the tramp problem;
¢ About. 350, 000 "minors ran a
way from home anuually”’ said
* A No. 1” during the course of his
little conversation. Of this num
ber, 35,000 became confirmed ho
boes, 77000 are crippled and 3,500
are killed, and the rest can only
¢tand the hardsoips of tramp life
abont ten years, untill they are in
poor-house. So many mothers, if
they only knew it, are the cause of
many young men living the hobo
life. If a regular grown up tramp
comes to the house and ask for a
mncal she turns him away, and tells
him to go to work for it, but when
a young fellow comes along who is
just starting out to be a tramp, she
takes him in, feeds him on the best
she has, not realizing that within a
few short years the same youngster
will be an exact brototype of the
older burley tramp she had just
turned away.
Now'if she would only get his
name from him-and his address
and talk to him in a nice way about
his home and mother, there, would
be a good chance that be wonld go
‘.,back and it would be a help toward
reforming a large number «f b

The scond “Hobo Camp Fire Tales,
is a true story of the pi:i‘ul hard
ships on the road. Both show the
dark side of tramp I'fe so that any
careless boy will get a gond idea of
its disgusting features, Ther cap
