ENRAGED REAL ESTATE AGENT.

Acorpulent real estate agent came into his
office Yesterday looking like he had inst re-
turned from trip to the tropics, where he
had beed subjected to sweat bath. ana In
addition to that he had not enjoyed the same
to any great extent Looks OF disgust ana
anger played about his countenance anu
seemed to vie with each other for possession
For some minutes all attempts to lnduce
him to disclose the latest news from the seat
of war were futile and met prompt ana I'M
pleasant rebuke that had a tendency to make
the one seeking information feel as though he
were barking up the wrong tree.
Finally the color partially vanished from
his face and left him nearer his normal con-
dition and better able to crafty the anxious
spectators with a story saturated with every
thing that had tendency to produce any
thing but pleasant emotions in himself.
''Well, will tell you,' he said, in tone
indicating that he entertained doubts on the
subject, and was not SO certain after all
whether he would favor the crowd with the
narrative or not. 81 am all broke up over
that skin-iiint curbstone broker that was i'll
here. You know he seemed very anxious,
over anxious to buy those lots up north.
His partner replied in the affirmative, and
asked confidentially if he had not succeeded
in making the sale This almost set the cen
trail figure of the occasion in commissions, and
by the time the inquiry was fully
made was over anxious to tell
him to the contrary and the remain
der of his experience.

myself He is one of that painfully large
number that wear out the curbstOnes, but l

BEGGING FRAUDS.

Wichita is becoming great resort for all
manner of frauds and just new begging
frauds are to be Inct on almost every street.
Day before Yesterday as the scribe was pass
ing by the Presbyterian church healthy
active young fellow, who had been sitting
on the steps whiting stick, stepped ont on
the sidewalk and said he had been out of a
job for long time and had got one in King
man and wanted money tc go there. Another
fellow who pretends to be deaf and dumb has
been begging and collected enough to get full
of forty-rod mechanical stuff, when he was
pulled in by the cops. While at the heater
he demonstrated his ability to hear and talk,
and when he was brought into the police
court tire policeman made him talk.
Yesterday while the reporter was at his
room en- North EmpOria avenue, stout.
healthy young fellow, who pretended to be
foreigner, came boldly into the room and
presented small account book, on which
was written in very neat hand statement
to the effect that this fellow and another had
been brought from Alexandria, in Alex
andria-wherever that is-by company and
wanted to get assistance to get back. The
fellows go about among the residences and
probably manage to get small sums from
sympathetic women. The note in the book
appeals to good Christians, but no name Is
signed to it. 1t may be these fellows are
thieves and take this method of finding out
ahe lay of things about the houses. They
sre 70 say the least. frauds and ought to be
| run out of town. All these pests should be
arrested and gangs of them put to work
cleaning up the alleys and cutters Let an
officer stand over them and pop them
through one day, then if turned loose there
is but little doubt that they would seek new
hunting grounds.
