In Camden county, nut far from Delair, at Morrisville, lives a plain old German fanner, blessed with a big farm and abundance of this world's goods. His hospitality to the houselew and homeless wanderers the world calls tramps is known from Maine to New Orleans and frotii ocean to ocean. On the Bcckenbach place is • big barn. In this barn, in winter and in summer and on any day in the year, whether it be Christmas, New Year or the Fourth of July, can be found women with children in their arms, a shiftless fisherman ragged suit on him and ashillelali in hi* hand, or some sturdy and German outcast, perhaps, with a trank on his shoulder, trudging over from the railway station to the Beckenbach bora, which by some fine freemasonry among the tramps of America is known ms a "Saint's Beat" for the homeluM wanderer a thousand mile* away seeking rest or idleness, or, it may be, a day'* work with "Pilgrim school! and scallop shelL" If the stranger sits on the porch of iy one of the farm houses on the main road leading to M orris rille he will be greeted at any hour of the da)- with the inquiry: "Is this the way to Beckenbach's

barn?'

And >-ou can tell with your eyee shut that the inquirer, be he a man or a woseeking a temporary refuge un-"' caves of Beckenbacii's bam. it will be a frowsy looking woman. with draggled skirts, half a bonnet nd an old shawl, inoae comer of which i wrapped a Iwby not old enough to ralk or talk. If it is a warm day she may sit down on tin- grass, after getting her Ix-aring* and distances to the bam, with her back up against a tree, and she e long enough to take a nap. * with her head hanging over one shoulder, while her prattling babe, unconscious of its shabby surroundings, crawls through the high gram and plucks with tiny fingers, the daffy-down-diUies which dot the greensward like day stars. Next it may be a great hoiking Gerum, witha military air, as if be had fought^Xub Yon Moltke, or in better days taken a "schooner” with Bismarck. Tliis man wears high topped boots, with great box like a sailor's chest, which is strapped on his shoulders, and the Teutonic traveler with a big pipe In his mouth pauses long enough to say, "V«re dot Beckenbach's base.." There will i score or more along today, looking like FalstaiTs ragged regiment, all kings and qncens in shreds, tatters and patches. And it is s substantive fact that a ts^kp in Texas made an engagement in midwinter with a fellow nomad <t El Pa«u, saying: “Yah. Jacob I meets yon again when dose peosjABlst be pick't down by dot Beckenba^nBrnin Jersey.” And when the voice of^he turtle dO+e was beard in the land the two tramps met at Beckenlnch's bam after an honest daj-’s toil in the generous German's pua patch at Morrisville. Most of these picturesque tramp* allege that they are seeking work. Some of them are, and none of them goes away empty handed from the honest German's plantation who ia wilffhg to do a fair day's work for good wage*. They liegin by picking peas. Dcckenbach's bam is a tort of agricultural exchange, where the Delair farmers come to get field hands, male and female, fur the busy season. After the pea season is over they straggle through the strawberry flurry only to tackle the tomato vines, which yield the nomad workers a financial harvest of no mean measure. Then come the red raspberry, the cultivated blackberry, cherries and currants down to peach season, citrons, canteloupes and watermelons, and when Jack Frost comes the colony of tramps thin out and seek a softer climate and milder

skies.

There is a boss even among tramps. Spanish Dick is bom of the Bcckenbach bam. Dr. Dunbar Hylton says that Spanish Dick is descended from a Spanish hidalgo with a bar sinister. He speaks six languages, and was once an impreetario in Jenny Lind's time at Castle Garden. but lias now descended to be a bom among the pea pickers on thc old German's farm. There are traces of dignity and erudition in the way Hidalgo Dick issues bis order* in a strawberry patch. —Cor. Philadelphia Times.

At thc present day it yields 8.000,000 and disputes the markets of Europe against the products of Kentucky and Pennsylvania. The yield might be increased tenfold, for the existing wells give on an average 40,000 kilogramme* a day, and in order to find new ones it suffices to bore the ground, so saturated is the whole soil with petroleum.
