OriginnIity I'm Rcgging.

An ingenious and original begging
scheme is being prepetrated in
Detroit, according to the Free
Press by q woman.
A little girl playing on Cass
Avenue was approached by a strange
woman, poorly dressed.
What is your name my dear,
and your mothers name, and where
does she live?"
Being informed on these points
the woman next inquired of the
child the name of the church they
attended.
When the child had returned to
her play the woman went to the
house and inquired by name for the
mother. When the lady came she
told her that she was recommended
to her by st. Johns Church; that
she needed a situation and was told
Mrs. - would give her one.
This time the method did not
work. The lady disbelieved her
statement, and told her in q few
words that she did not need her SER
vices.
Then the woman revealed the
true reason of her call.
:" / am in great need" she said,
"and the st. Johns people always
give me a quarter, for they know l
deserve it,"
The lady did not give a quarter.
and when she learned how the
woman had obtained her name she
was confined in the belief that she
was an impostor Chicago Herald.

Clara Belle Mcdonald.

Mrs. Clara Belle Mcdonald bravely
gives her testimony in the divorce
case and stands firmly to the fact that
Swain was her friend. The cross-ex-
animation failed to draw from her any
fact tending to show that her relations
with Swain had been improper. DR..
Mcdonald was the man who intro
duced him to her. She assumes the
personal responsibility for everything
done by Swain. Her testimony is
strong and convincing and places her
in a strong light as a woman OF nerve,
intelligence and truthfulness.

OUR CRUDE CIVILIZATION.
A Brief Sermon Upon One Phase IN
National Developments.

"Get money; honestly il you can,
but get it anyway" is the practical
lesson of the times. This tide has
ever reached that degree where sue
cessful robbery, ON a magnificent
scale, is condoned, courted; the only
requirement Of society being that 1t
shall be great enough and successful
enough to enable its conqueror to APP
pear in a halo of palatial splendor.
The thief who steals small articles Is
locked up; the thief who steals mil
lions is referred to as "a great OPP
orator." The poor woman who steals
articles from the dry goods stores IS
sent to the police station the rich one
is respectfully referred to as a klepto
maniac"
Wealth and poverty wear the rue
with a difference. The woman, who,
be she ever so vulgar, has a palace IN
New York, a villa at Newport, a reti-
nue. OF servants, and who costumes
herself with diamonds to a degree thai
renders necessary the near attendance
OF detectives in plain clothes, will fine
every door of society and art open tC
her; because, indeed, she can enter
tain in splendor, while the woman who
is a university graduate, who is ex
quisitely accomplished and cultivated
and refined, and who is the wife OF {
professional or literary man OF mod
est means, living in an questionable
| side street, may remain in social OBJ
security all her lifetime.
She could bring to society endurini
treasure, but society prefers tn
woman who can bring to it dinner
and balls. All this is the unerring in
dication of a crude phase in our ma
tional development. We shall over
come it; scholarship and statesman
ship, art and letters shall yet come I
their own, but just now we prefer din
ners of Lucullus. America has littl
time to nourish the sense OF beauty

AN OLD COIN.


Its Owner Had - Hard Time Ina
Keeping Track of Et.
A Northerner, who is spending
some. time in Americas, Ga, has an
old foreign silver coin about the
size of u dollar that be values highly,
in that it was given him as a keep.
sake by his father many years ago.
The Americas Republican says that
a few days ago he ~accidently paid it
out to come one, and did not discover
his loss until the next day. Hoping
to regain il he went to every bank in
the city and left q description of his
coin, thinking that the merchant
who had it would deposit it with
others shortly. Sure enough the
coin was presented and was put to
one side by the cashier, who knew
to whom it belonged, but before il
was called for vas again paid out.
In this way it came and went three
different times, until finally it was
paid out with several hundred silver
dollars to a railroad contractor in
Wilcox county. Here it was given
up as lost entirely, but, truth
crushed to earth will rise again." it
came travelling back before the end
of the week. and was finally restored
to the keeping of its delighted
owner. 1t was a rather queer in
cident, in that the coin had been in
two different banks, had circulated
all over the city, took a sixty-one
mile trip in the country, and came
back to the owner within q weeks
time.

The hustle In Court.

The hustle has got into Court.
Bustle is the very thing our courts
generally have lacked, but this
hustle and that hustle are two dis.
tinct affairs. This hustle is one of
those which form the suburbs of
womankind; one of those feminine
annexes which follows our sisters
and our cousins and our aunts at q
respectful distance. A Montreal
woman ordered a cloak, but when it
was made refused to take it because it
did not fit. The tailor took the case
into court and explained that the
cloak would fit if the woman would
wear a smaller hustle. The woman
wear that her hustle is no longer
than the regulation size. The
court has taken the matter under
advisement and we may expect soon
to know whether there are any legal
limits to the size of a hustle, and, if
there are. what those limits may be.

gave them seats together and stood
mutely awaiting an order. There
were but few guests in the room at
that hour, but the attention of all
became fixed upon the interesting
couple.
"What shall we eat, love-" said
George, with an enraptured look at
his divinity.
"Oh, / don't care what; anything
you like best, dear. just want to
