Show TRAMP NUISANCE. All corporations are more or less troubled in the fall of the year with the tramp nuisance, young men in prime health, as well as old ones, are continually moving from town to town without a definite object of a thought of making a home in any place. Even when good opportunities to work for a living are presented to them, they have a restless desire to see the world-to lead a nomadic life. They procure pocket funds oftimes by taking what belongs to another. They beat their way and beg their food. When the winter sets, they look out their winter quarters. If an easy job is not forthcoming, they commit some crime and are sent to prison quarters for three or four months, and then they are at ease awaiting spring. As a rule, they manage to have a pretty good time-in their estimation; but if all corporations would see to it that these rovers receive more exercise in wood-sawing, or other work, then we should be less troubled with them, and it would relieve tax-payers' pockets. Happily, our citizens have little of this nuisance to contend with. |
