A gentleman living in a metropolitan

agreeable nature, for he lost no ume III

present moment in custody at the uePoe
OF the Prefecture of Police. the taie
which he unfolded to the Police Commls-

The steamer had hardly left the tnglsh

when he and about fifty other companions

who seemed exempt from suffering was
the man who had been arrested. He paced
the deck with the utmost complacehcy,

apparent satisfaction The woman IN
whose company he was met In Paris,
acted on the steamer as II she was a
perfect stranger TO him, and she seemed.
indeed to be the greatest victim OF them
all. So intense were her suferings that
the man walked up TO her and offered
her one Of the lozenges, declaring that
they were a sovereign remedy against
seasickness. She took one and in the
course of few minutes said that she was
completely cured. and soon her fellow
passengers beheld her discussing with
considerable relish plate of sandwiches,
washed down by bottle of stout

lucky passengers whose misery had in
the mean time rather increased than
otherwise, enthusiastically welcomes the
offer, and soon all the boxes were sold,
the gentleman from the suburbs being
the purchaser of one.
But somehow the lozenges had no effect.
Not one OF the buyers was to be seen
calling for stout and sandwiches. and the
whole party did not get TO the end OF
their troubles until they were once more
safely on terra firma- The suburban gtn-
tleman had the lOZenges analysed, and
they were found to be ordinary jLjubes

and he told the Police Commissacy that
he was quite sure that they had acted
this comedy for the purpose of letting
money out OF their fellow-passengers.
The man and the woman both declared at
first that the suburban one must have
mistaken them for another couple but
afterward they made a full confession.
Oddly enough they had gone to the suburb
to Inspect house which they had thought
OF buying with the proceeds OF the sales

The Need of Organized Charity.

The room beggar is the brainy man Of
the city tramps. and the other beggars

exception of the clever street beggar.
who considers himself his equal and
think really is.
No tramp, for instance. Is so clever at
the begging-letter racket" and this
means a good deal TO be able to write
"a letter TO a perfect stranger and make
money out OF it requires a skilled hand,
and q man educated in many lines The
public has become somewhat used to this
trick, and will not be deceived every
time: only men OF fairly original turn
OF mind can do much with II. 1t Is this
originality that is the main talent of the
room beggar. He concocts stories which
would 20 credit TO literary man. and
sometimes makes nearly as much money
as the daring thief.
Women are also found In this class. and
do very we'll at times. In the city of Ber-
lin, Germany, there lived a lady OF this
sort. She had two homes. one was a
cellar in a poor quarter of the town, and
the other was a rather artStocratic etage
In the West End. She sent letters TO we'll
to-do people OF all sorts, in which she
claimed TO be "eine acknowledgements
dame" in distress. She invited likely phil
lanthropists 10 visit her in her cellar In
order that they might see how unfortu-
nate her position really was. People went.
and were shocked, and, as result. she
had her apartment In the West End.
For about ten months this woman and her
two daughters lived in real luxury. and
one OF the young ladies' was to marry
In high society" about the time that the
ruse was made public.
This L. by no means q new trick. and
vet people are being continually swindled.
Why? Simply because the beggars who
undertake It are cleverer than the people
fooled by IT, That Is the only reason.
II charitable people would only commit
charltykto skilled hands 1t would be much
easier 10 handle beggars. The tramp Is
q specialist: so why not leave specialists
10 deal with him? The whole trouble
comes OF our greater willingness TO be
impractical in our philanthropy than in
our business
