A Hint Which Is Quits Effective.

The night clerk in any big newspaper office has his hands full of work, but time and time again is bothered by the tramp who wanders in to get a warming. Ostensibly the visitors looks over the file to search with advertisements, but with bowed heads soon fall to sleep, The truo tramp can go to sleep standing as long as the surroundings are warm. A night clerk in a newspaper office has discovered a sure way of ousting these undesirable denizens without force. He keeps a small collection of t|he electric light lamps that have become useless. He waits until the tramp is dreaming his soundest, and then throws one of these innocentlooking globes at his feet. There is an awful explosion. The tramp looks around in wonderment and fright. The imperturbable clerk is hard at his books entering the last “ads” sent in, and the tramp “scoots,” thankful to hare escaped some greater danger.
