A BEGGAR WHO RIDES.
4 Woman Soliciting Aims and Carrying
Away Wagon Loads of Provisions.

a Woman Soliciting Aims and Carrying
Away wagon-Loads of Provisions.
Detroit Free Press.I
A poor woman, wretchedly dressed, went
into the Office of Woodward avenue busi-
ness man about dusk yesterday evening and
solicited aims. The business man was busy,
however, and little out of humor. and he
told her curtly that he had nothing TO give.
The woman dropped her head more in sor-
row than in anger, and walked dejectedly
out, gloomily silhouetted against the even
ing sky. :.
The business man went on arranging his
desk and trying to forget the despairing
look of the woman whom he had refused to
aid. but his conscience was aroused; texts
began to multiply in his mind about giving
to the poor and lending to the Lord, and at
last he started up and rushed out to the side
walk in time to see the retreating form OF the
woman as it vanished round the corner. he
hurried on and reached her just as she
stenped into democrat wagon that stood at
the curbstone. loaded with every sort Of pro-
vision and utensil from a wash boiler to
length CT stove pipe. A little girl who was
holding the lines over a very respectable
looking horse asked:
'Are YOU going home now, mother"
"Yes, Susy; I've had a fust-rate day. Get
up, Rats.
The business man sneaked back to his
Office. unwilling to let anyone know how
near he came to being victimized by pre-
tense OF poverty.

instantly killing girl. Three days later
the Governor of Louisiana offered reward
of $500 for his capture. That was seven
months ago. The reward is still open.
Everybody in the parish knows the man
he is big Jim Callahan-but nobody has
brought him into court and claimed the
$500. The offering of rewards after crime
has been committed seems to be the South
ern Governors idea of his whole duty. 1t
looks we'll, is not very troublesome and
never occasions any expense to the State. be-
cause the men with rewards upon their
heads don't come to trial.
"In November and December there is al
ways lots of money in the Bayou country.
The big planters begin to grind their cane
in October, and, as they hire every hand at
that time who asks for work, and pay wages
in cash, the last two months in the year are
the Southern negro's flush times. But
