HAD $1,000 BUT WAS HUNGRY.
How ■ I.nokr Tramp in Chicago Got
the Name of Being an Hon
est Man.
“I’ve slept under a shed with the
thermometer ’way below zero,” said
th« tramp, “and I’ve gone two long
days with nothing to eat, but I’m tell
ing you straight that when I once had
$1,000 in my pocket I was worse off
than at any other time I can remem
ber. I had just been let out of the
bridewell in Chicago, and was begging
on the streets and being turned down
on every hand, when l picked up a
$1,000 bill on the sidewalk. I thought
it was a dollar, and you bet I made a
hustle to get down a side street. When
I dodged into a doorway and made out
that I was a thousand dollars ahead
of the game the sweat started from
every pore and my knees knocked to
gether. I was regularly seasick for
ten minutes, and my heart thumped
away until I thought it would break
out.
“That $1,000 meant a heap for me,
you understand, but I was so excited
that it was two hours before I could
do any planning. The first thing was
to buy a new suit of clothes, and I en
tered a store and picked them out.
When I exhibited that $1,000 bill the
clothier ran to the door to call a po
liceman. I got away by a close squeeze,
and then realized the situation. Tramp
as I was, I couldn’t get It changed at
a bank nor use it to make me more
comfortable. If it had been a ten I
could have had lodgings and a bed,
but I’m telling you that I walked the
streets as hungry as a shark, and slept
at a police station and in lumber
yards.
“Under the circumstances the bill
might as well have been a piece of
brown paper. I tried all sorts of
dodges to get it busted, but it was n6
go. Every time I showed it I ran the
risk of arrest. I offered a butcher $100
4^_4 14 k„4 U 4/%
have anything to do with it. I’d have
sold it for half price and been glad to,
but there was no such thing as mak
ing a deal. Finally, in despair, I went
to one of the newspaper offices and
looked up the advertisements for the
week past. The loser had advertised,
and I went to his office iu a big build
ing and gave up the bill. The reward
was $50, but he counted out ten dol
lars on top of that and said:
“ ‘I wouldn’t have believed there was
such honesty in the world. You could
have kept the bill as well as not.’*
“He took down my name and all that,
and gave the affair away to the report
ers. They wrote me up as the ‘Honest
Tramp,’ and had my picture in the
papers, but you may guess I didn’t en
joy it over much. I had $60 in place of
$1,000, and as for honesty, it was all
bosh. I returned the bill because i had
to, and though I’m hungry and dead
broke and don’t know where to turn
in for the night, I’m not looking for
any more big finds. Something with
a figure ‘2’ on the corner will ju»S
about fit my vest pocket.”—Chicago

COULD NOT KILL THE H9B(X
Rusty Rufus Was on the Pilot Milk*
Ins a Cow After Runalns Into
a Herd.
“It was way back In the ’70s,” said
an old engineer. “I was pulling the
‘limited’ east from Council Bluffs to
Chicago over the Rock Island. The
night was bitterly cold. We had gone
about 20 miles out, and had stopped
at a night office for orders, and had
started up again, when the fireman
reached over and said: ‘There is a
hobo on the pilot; saw him get on at
the depot.’ ‘Sure?’ I asked. ‘Go out
on the running board and see if he’s
there yet.’ The fireman did as he was
ordered to do, and returned with the
information that the hobo was still
there.
“ ‘Well,’ said I, ‘it’s a bitter cold
night, and if he can stand it out there'
1 am willing he should ride with me.'
And on we went toward Chicago, with
old ‘211’ barking like sixty at the low
joints ahead and forgetful of our ‘head
end’ passenger on the pilot.
“By and by, by the faint glimmering
of the headlight, I thought I saw ahead
what seemed to be a bunch of cattle on
the track. As we approached It the
bunch seemed to grow larger. It was
now too late to do anything, so I just
pulled her wide open and old 211 hit
that bunch of cattle *ka-bif.’ To para
phrase the language of Tennyson, who
glides into raptures of admiration over
(be charge of the Light brigade at Ilala
klava, there was just simply cattle to
(lie right of us, cattle to the
left of us, but none any more in
front of us. After it was over' our
thoughts reverted to the hobo on the
pilot. ‘Go out and see if he is still
there.’ I said.”
“Well,” said an old brakeman, under
whose feet the frosts of many winters
had crackled as he wended his way in
tlw dark over many a long train of box
cars, and who had been listening to
the story. “Well,” said he, “was he
killed?” *
"No,” replied the engineer. “There
he sat, as large as any hobo could sit,
on tin' pilot with an oyster can milking
one of those dtirned cpws."—Topeka

Samoans Inveterate Urmian.
An American who visited the Steven
sons in Samoa relates that the Samoans
have a practice of begging. They bold
ly ask for whatever they may covet
wherever it may be found. The novelist
became tired of tliis practice and there
fore said one day to a Sacuoan friend
who had acquired from him necktie,
handkerchief and some other trinket:
"Is there anything else you want?
There is the piano," suggested Mr.
Stevenson, ironically. “Yes,” replied
the native. “1 know, but,” he added,
apologetically, “I don’t know how to
play it.”—Chicago Chronicle.
