Adver- tised an Open House For Them. “I think I have solved the tramp. problem in a perfectly satisfactory way," said the New Jersey farmer as the subject was under discussion. “It‘ did no good whatever to put up signs warning them off or to keep a bulldog“ at the gate. I tried all that. and last spring I made a change. I put up signs '-' for three miles around reading, ‘Tramps Please Call at the Baker Farm,’ and ‘All ' Tramps Welcomed at Baker’s,’ and the result is that not over three of ithem have called.

You come right in, ‘ and I will give you a square meal for nothing. and if you want to stay all night I’ll give you the best bed in the house.’ ' “He looked at me in a puzzled way for about a minute," continued the farmer, “and then indulged in a wink and said: - “ ‘You can't play that little game on me, old man.

During the worst of the storm a young man came into the hotel,. ,which was telephone headquarters, and, as he had never used a phone, he asked me to communicate with a jus-l ‘ tice of the peace and tell him that he wanted to get married that evening. “ ‘But think of the stormi’ replied the official when I had delivered my message over the wire. “ ‘Yes, but he’ll make that all right,’ ‘I replied. . “ ‘I don’t believe ‘I can get there.’ “ ‘But you must.’ “ ‘Well, if I must, then I must, but ' I want John Peabody to understand that if I driveten miles and marry him in this sort of weather he’s got to come down with at least 75 centsl’ ” He Was a. Dead One. "I see that a law has been passed which requires the railways to carry baggage for a corpse,” remarked thi gentleman who had lapsed into a deci- reverie each time the round of drinks .Was up to him. “That’s good,” said one of the party “Now you can take your trunk with you whenever you go anywhere.”â€"Bal. iimore American. A Profitable Business. “Don’t you find it very trying,” she .asked the great man, “to have to fur- nish your autograph to so many per- sistent people?” “Oh. no!” he answered. “Most of them send stamps, and I return the autograph on a postal card.”-â€"Balti- more News.
