STORY ABOUT
I! TRAMPS
Columbus, o.,—Fifteen years ago,
two trampg became fast friends ia
a Memphis, Tennessee, saloon.
One of ihem wag Jacks London,
Uie autfcor, and the other—Jerry
Hogan, Sandusky horsethief and
editorial writer for the Ohio peni
tentiary weekly newspaper, Jerry
talked about it today:
"We were eals—Jack and I. For
15 years we hol>oed together thru
the south. But he had ambition
and I didn't—that's the whole story,
"The tramp life we led didn't kill
his ambition. We both1 wrote ar
ticles and sold 'em fifty-fifty. Some
times Jack signed bis name to my
articles and sometimes I signed
my name to his—it didn't make any
difference.
"Bu* ambition for an education
carried Jack to Southl America and
we parted as he was climbing- on t'W
boat at Penascola, Fla. I never
saw him agin.
'"Wish you were gain' along
Jerry,' be wared goot-bye at me,
'I fc-el I'm going to make good from
aPK on.'
"And his dre.ams have come true.
He went up the ladder while I
went down. Today his name is
famous. The only name I've got
now is a number and I write
for a poor hundred or sq convicts
in the pen paper .here."
SHOW DEEP IH
HIES VALLEY
R. A. Virch, of Haines, arrived
'n Juneau last night. In speaking
to a Daily ilmpira man fag reports
'hat 'u Haines proper, the enow is
three feet deep. on. the level, and
♦hat back towards the mountains
where it has drifted, it is live and
6ix feet in, depth. According to Mr.
Virch, the old timers -at Haines say
it's the most snow ever sejn there
at this time of the year.
At Skagway the ground is practi
cally free from snow, there being
onl" about three indhes, but fhe
his1' wind which is blowing there
is sweeping wen that out into the
bay.
Mi". Virch is in Juneau to dis
dosg of several tons of potatoes,
cabbages, and other vegetables
which were raised on his place dur
ing the past summer. The present
high price of potatoes is a good
thin: for the Haines farmers who
olau'ed their ground withj mirrphys
this year, as the price is better
than ever before, and there is a
pood oiofit, according to Virch.

MADE A POOR GUESS.
The Chinese General Knew More Than
Did tho Tibetan Buddha.
At the cntranco of tho iamaserj at
Kumbum are eight large monuments,
■which contain tlie ashes of eight
Buddhas. Long years ago, at the be
ginning of the Ming dynasty, after
hard fighting tho Tibetans were driven
back from Chinese territory, which
they had overrun for hundreds of
miles. When the viet >rious Chi; es?
general reached Kumbum he sent for
these eight Buddhas and said to tfrrj.
"You can read the future. Can you
tell me when you are roing to dla?"
One of them, shrewd emugb to under
stand the general's mind. said. '-To

will be today." And it vvaj.

Miseries of the Red Sea.
In the waters of the Red sea the
cessation of the engines on a steamer
for an hour means extreme physical
suffering for passengers; for a day It
would Involve absolute torture. The
wind which prevails every day Is a
hot, asphyxiating blast, and Its contin
uous directions are from north and
south toward the center. As a result
every passing vessel is subjected to
two days cf almost Intolerable heat,
followed by two days of compara
tive comfort, but Instances have been
known of crowded, liners being com
pelled when traveling with the wind
to turn rouuJ and stem back for an
hour or so in order to give the pas
sengers even a brief respite from the
sufferings Induced by the dull, dead,
unbearable atmosphere.

"Recipes will be sandwiched between

"That won't work. They won't read
the recipes. Next to looking at the
back of a book to see how a story
ends the favorite oecuiuition of the
average feminine reader is skipping."
