Y ‘ Pi Den HOBO CAN nO ON BROAD {Being the Story Told by a Man -« Who Disguised Himself as\a \Tramp and Begged from a Theatre Crowd. - {HE PICKED UP 63 CENTS. —— ‘Men Seemed More Charitable than the Women—He Fooled the Po- ficeman and a Detective Who Started to Run Him In. BY A “MADE-UP” TRAMP. Oh, Broafway ts a fine place Pov Semthat’s rich and high, But Broadway cruel place For poor folke—sich as I. ‘ —With Apologies to Kingsley. “$elp a poor ole man! Got no home! Got no nothin'! Help a poor ole hobo!" . Such was the burden of my wall as \™ stood, the picture of a hopeless tat- terdemalion, before the doors of the tOriterion Theatre. * Once upon a time I had seen “A Mes- jmage from Mars,” wherein was @ rwealthy man who didn’t like tramps or lenything else that caused him worry jmnd expense. But one night he dreamed ‘that he was attached to a red-hot ghost }in the shape of a messenger from Mare ‘who had come to show him the error lof nis ways, and discovered that tramps jStndividually and collectively—were {wetter than he was, even when dressed ‘im a fur-lined coat. When this fellow ‘woke up he felt so ashamed of his lown littleness that he did all sorts of igenerous stunts. Standing at the door of the Criterion lemheatre T wondered if the powerful moral of “A Message from Mars" had jmelted the gold that Is sald to encase jend harden the heart of the average {New Yorker. I wondered, too, if I held out my battered hat for alms would ‘the memory of the play induce the au- id@ience to be generous to a “poor ole “hobo” begging at the door. A “Made Up? Tramp. Y was ‘made up" by Mr. Playfair, mho acts the policeman tn the produc- I¢lon. Then T made a preliminary tour tot Forty-fourth street by way of ex- jperiment. A cabman who was waiting Jor a possible fare presented me with }the munificent sum of three cents, which I returned to him with thanks. I left ‘him staring. Satisfled that my disguise iwras complete I approached the main jexit of the Criterion just as the lights Vananea the signal for carriages. , When I first took up my stand the epirit of the genuine hobo was upon. me. With all the laughter and gayety the passing crowd and all the glitter ‘and blaze, Broadway was—to the out- cast tramp—about as cheerful as the Morgue on East Twenty-sixth street. It was to the hobo as if his Ironic Fatanic Maesty played the fiddle while ‘the corpses jumped out of their boxes tend danced with each other. Perhaps if I had been richer it would ‘have seemed different, but—I was only j@ tramp, a battered, tattered, torn and Mforlorn object. | It was a strange feeling, one moment yetrangely unreal, the next horzibly real. 1 was only a miserable face beneath an lelectric arc light. There were thousands of other faces, all happler than mine. ‘Begeing from a Theatre Crowd. Mhen the people began to pour out of }the Criterion, and the voice of the min ‘with the megaphone was loud In the \tend, shouting the, carriage numbers. {It was up to me to do something—to put forward my claims to recognition fas un object worthy of sympathy. | I shuffied up to the advancing~ crowd fend, standing on one leg, muttered ‘hoarsely: Help a poor ole man! Got no home— got no nothin’! Help a paor ole hobo— eon botter dhys.’” ‘The first half dozen passed without moticing me. ‘Then one gentleman Stepped out from the crowd amd looked @riendly at me. “That was a —— fine play,” he said aloud, “and there's a little something |that will keep the messenger from Mars -j@way from me.” . “Say, you,” said the special police- man, “you'd better get three blocks away—quick!”* I whuffied off,, but came back in a moment, A woman who was not over Hwell dressed gave me a nickel with a whisper, “Poor man!" She was the only on¢ ip the hundreds of women mho deigned to favor me with a glance.
