Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from These Shifting Scenes On my way home in the summer dawns from my father´s newspaper office, I was some times aware at the railroad crossing of strange figures clambering down from passing freight cars, or maybe dodging furtively along the tracks. These, with a reluctance I suppose to spring in part from the cheerful memories of youth, I concede to have been of the order of tramps. In one corner of my mind I knew even then that they were tramps; but after a time they seemed far otherwise to me. Dirty, unkempt, always vagabonds, sometimes in sorry rags of raiment and sometimes too plainly marred and scored by drink and wild living, they were the most picturesque, and, on the whole, the most interesting tatterdemalions that have moved across my range of vision. Long ago the old race of journeyman newspaper printers perished from the earth: regrettably, I must think, for to life In small towns their comings and goings gave a peculiar relish not to be supplied, certainly, by the type-setting machine before which they vanished. Of their own kind they were; most restless of the birds of passage, driven from town to town by what seemed a goading frenzy for travel; and yet the able masters of a noble art, the very kings of their handicraft.
