THE BEGGING HABIT.
Various Ways in Which IL Makes the
Existence of Busy Men q Burden.

Various Ways I'm Which IL Makes the
Existence of Busy Men Burden,
Two schoolgirls OF sixteen, passing
through q crowded street the other
day, were accosted by stout boy OF
twelve, who begged loudly for money
to buy pair of shoes.
why should | give you moneys"
said one OF them. why do you not
work and earn ite"
The girls hurried home, and sat
down eagerly to write a letter to a
man holding high official position in
the country, soliciting his autograph
and "a sentiment They inclosed
two-cent stamp for a reply. This mans
time was given to his work so entirely
that he scarcely reserved the hours
necessary for rest or sleep He re-
ceived numberless such appeals for
autographs, which, IL he answered
them. would cost both labor and time.
What right had any stranger to beg
either from him, simply to crafty
their own whim?
The habit Of begging is not confined
TO professional mendicants. A mer-
chant, puzzled about legal point in
his business, puts the case at dinner to
friend who is a lawyer, and receives
the advice for nothing for which he is
able to pay.
The uncles, aunts and cousins OF a
young physician consult John" on all
their minor ailments, but would never
think of rendering John fee.
All classes and ages Of men and
women write to the editor Of the morn
ing newspaper for information upon
every imaginable subiect-informatio
which they could readily find for them
selves in the nearest library. The man
who answers them takes from his own
work the time TO find it. What right
have they to beg from him?
Americans are an exceptionally good
humored race. and ready to give to
each other both in money and aid. II
is an admirable trait TO be willing TO
give, but it is contemplate to ask that
which little exertion or money would
bring to us.
Very few of our readers would prob
ably beg for money. Let them then re-
member that the knowledge, strength
and time Of busy man are worth more
to him than dollars. Youths Com
panion.

Dodgcvillo Chronicle: Sheriff Estes
| delivered John kuhni, the suspected
murderer of William Christen, whom
he brought from England on extradi-
ton papers, into the county Jail just
before O'Clock Monday morning. The
sheriff left Madison Christmas morning
and arrived in New York three days
ago on the steamer Britannia. He ex-
pressed himself rs much relieved to
have finally placed his prisoner in safe
keeping. During the last three days,
he said, be had hardly any sleep. rs he
did not care TO take any chances of
Euhni's giving him tho slip, though he
didn't think the latter was aontemplat-
ing anything Of the SORT

little trouble with him. Since arriving
in this country he has seemed to fear

him about the crime of which he Is

Kuhni occupies cell in the county
jail and is kept apart from the other
prisoners. He is not allowed to be
interv iewed and as he refuses to talk
even to the sheriff on the orime there is
probably little lost by this seolusion.
He was arraigned before Judge Keys
this morning and Robert Siebecker. of
the law firm of La Toilette, Siebeckcr
and Harper, was assigned him as couu-
sci. The case was postponed till next
Saturday when be will be given an
opportunity to plead guilty or net
guilty. AS the next criminal term does

femain in his present quarters until

i is said that the newspaper trust is
the most extensive and universal trust
in this country, and instead of making
monopolist millionaires of publishers, it
makes them indepeat paupers. To
trust thousand subscribers flom one
TO five years each, is virtually lending a
thousand dollars year to Tom, Dick
apd Harry, without security and with
no prospect OF getting it back again.
Yes, trusts are bad things.
