Some excerpts:Of the representative tramp we have all seen numerous specimens prowling about ash barrels and area steps, or dozing in the parks. He sleeps in lumber-yards, vacant lots or any where the police will let him, and refreshes himself in the morning from the lees of lager beer barrels drawn off into old tomato cans. The tramp who sells lead-pencils is usually of the Irish persuasion, and has a superlative manner of either extreme depression or reckless good humor. Ragboard mounting.
