Jaoquin and the Tramps.

Argonaut. The venerable Joaquin Miller used to hive a warm spot in his heart for tramDS. He went so far as to build a house on his California farm for the accommodation of tramp; and furnished it with plain but substan* tial comforts, free use of which was given any tramp who came that way. The outcome he relates in an article in a California magazine: “Results? In less than a year the last sheet, pillowslip, bedspread, frying-pan and coffee pot were gone. Not only that, but the windows were broken and the sashes burned. Too worthless to go out and carry wood, on* crowd broke up and burned my tables and chairs, and when I put in my head to protest they threatened to ‘cremate the old crank in his own fireplace.’"
