Getting a Living.

There are n great msny ways of
getting--I don't say earning, you
will observe-a living. The follow
ing incident was related to me the
other day by friend, who vouched
for it being strictly true. 1t is as
follows:
One day last summer poorly
dressed woman made her appear
ance at one of the swellest boarding
houses on Wabash avenue. and, tell
ing a pitiful story of destitution and
need, asked for the food scraps,
the daily leavings of the table. As
the boarding-hous vas one where
the boarders did not tolerate warm
ed over grub, and as the lady who
kept it was n kind-hearted person,
she told the woman to come each
day and she would giveIher what
she asked for. The womanHmum-
bled her thanks and departed. HOn
the following day she made her ap-
pearance and was givenfa large
basketful of food and so for
months she continued to come daily
and always went away full-handed.
But one day it so happened that
when the kind hearted landlady was
filling her basket for her, the agent
from whom she rented the house
happened to call for the rent. He
eyed the begger woman keenly as
she stood waiting for her basket to
be filed, but said nothing until she
had taken her departure. Then he
turned to the lady of the house and
said:
do you know that woman ?"
NO" replied:the landlady, Il do
not know her name. But she is
very poor and l have been giving
her the leavings of my table for
long time. She seems to be very
glad to.get even that
Well" replied the agent, "T1
tell you something that, evidently,
you don't know. That poor begger
woman is your landlady."
MY landlady T. echoed the wo-
man in astonishment. "What do
you mean 2
Just what / say cody replied
the agent. ''She is your landlady
to put it plainly, she owns this
property, and /, as her agent, turn
over to her each month the rent
which you pay to me for this house.
She has two other pieces of prop
erty besides this, that / know of,
and she and her husband are worth
not less than thirty Thousand dol
lars"
Her husband /" exclaimed the
now Mortified clearinghouse keep
er. II did not know she had hus-
band she told me she had none
Quite likely" responded the
agent, but / happened to know that
she has husband, and n big, strap
ping fellow he is, too. He is sec
tion boss on the Altoona road and is
good wages. They, I.mean
this woman and her husband, keep
n clearinghouse themselves, and
this grub that you have so kindly
been giving to her has gone II long
ways toward feeding her own board
ers, who, being only section hands
on the railroad, are not, perhaps, so
hard to please as are yours. But,
the agent, laughing,
having seen me here, | don't think
she will trouble you any more.
And he was right. She never show
ed up at that clearinghouse again.

IN THE PORTUGUESE TONGUE
Over an Empty coilin-A Service In
Memory of tho Late King Luis
An Eulogy Upon the Life Of
Their beloved Monarch,

PRovIpENCR, R, l., Oct, 27,-In little
wooden church, heavily hung with
black, and relieved only by the colors oI
the ensigns OF the United States and
Portugal, a curious ceremonial was per-
formed to-day in foreign tongue over
an empty coffin, 1t was a service in
memory Of King Louis, OF Portugal in
serepa's church Of our Lady OF the Ro'
sary, and the chief observers were the
Portuguese beneficial society Of this
city. The brethren had assembled at
their hall, nearly mile from the church,
aud marched thither escOrting a hearse
drawn by six led horses and preceded
and followed by outsiders. The coffin
was a costly wooden Cssket, covered with
broadCloth. No portrait OF King Louis
and no suitable uniform could be pro-
cured asdesired, so the bier was without
the insignia OF royalty. Otherwise the
appointments were complete.
A band playing dirge led the line to
the church, but the casket was not taken
inside until alter mass. The bier was
then carried forward to place before
the altar, and was there raised high
above the heads Of the audience. Six
great candles were placed about 1t, while
altar boys held two more at the head
aud another boy between these two held
aloft a cross. The funeral services fol-
lowed. twas introduced by prayerand
then Rev. Serepa pronounced an eulogy
upon the life Of Luis. Prayers for the
dead, the swinging Of the censor and
responsive singing by the choir fol-
lowed. After the ceremony tho hearse
and bier were escorted back to the sOCie.

for some West Virginian a government
