TEARS SHED FOR MONEY.
THE PECULIAR BEGGING QUAIL
TIES OF A LITTLE BOY.
Hugo Rideger Works Upon tho Hearts
of Sympathetic Women by
Crying and
Lying.

Complaint has been made to the Off
GERS OF boy who employs q most Pc
culiar but successful way Of begging ON
the street. A scene witnessed on Spring
street Saturday will illustrate the trick.
A small boy, apparently 8 or 9 years
old, WAC found crying. He had basket
OF flowers, and said that another boy
had stolen all the money he had mads
selling them. Great tears were trickling
down his cheeks, and apparently his
heart WAS breaking.
A number of ladies came along.
Struck by the deep grief of the little
fellow, they aeked him the cause. He
told them, between sobs, that his money
had been stolen by boy who ran away,
and he had no chance OF getting it back.
The ladies lowered around the grief.
stricken child, saying kind words and
otherwise cheering him, when one of
them gave him enough money to make
rp for his loss. Another placed dime
in his outstretched hand, and another
gave him nickel, and the other pur-
chased bouquet of him.
They bade him stop crying and walked
away, happy in the thought that they
had done good to poor unfortunate
child. Their mothers hearts were
touched and they felt sorry for the little
fellow.
The lad hushed his sobbing at the de-
parture OF the ladies, and upon turning
around, saw another crowd. this time
elderly women, approaching. When
they were near him he set up another
cry, more pitiful than the first. They
gave him money upon hearing his story,
and shortly passed on.
A bystander, seeing the affair, won
dered at the boys remarkable aptitude
for crying just about the time tender
hearted women were passing. Tho cry
ing was 40 natural, 80 convincing, the
tears 30 copiouu, that his sorrow seemed
genuine. The bystander soon caught on
and took the lad to the police station.
He was ushered into Captain Roberta
office, whore he said his name was Hugo
Rideger and that he lived with his par
ents at Mitchell place, Boyle Heights.
He said that his parents instructed him
to cry for money, and when he didn't
make money that way his mamma would
whip him. He said he could cry with.
out the slightest trouble, in fact, was
born crying.
The cheeky little youth was sent home
with the warning that the next time he
is caught begging money he would be
arrested.

sense not only of prevalent religious
errors, but Of the terrible wrongs exist
ing in our social and political systems.
did not stop preaching, for have always
felt that had call to preach, and
when found myself obliged to take
what considered progressive stand in
religion and politics, considered it all
the moro my duty to lift my voice in the
cause of truth es saw it.
To my mind the old theological idea
that the church should only concern
itself with the affairs of another world
is all wrong, as is the notion that the
state should have no concern with the
moral interests of man. / believe in
the unity, not the union, of church and
state. believe they should work
through different organizations with one
purpose in view-the best interests Of
man, the entire interests Of man.
The Church of the Now Era, unlike
the church of the old era, will concern
itself with the physical ss we'll as the
moral and spiritual interests of man
kind, and the state, unlike the old state,
will legislate in the interests OF the
masses instead of the classes, and its
Legislators will think of making laws
prohibiting what ia wrong and enforcing
what is right. instead OF simply schem-
ing to get Office.

A BLooDLEss DUEL.


Two Mon Said TO Have Exchanged
Shots at Santa Monica.
A duel on the beach at Santa Monica
in which five shots wero fred is said to
have taken place late one afternoon last
week.
In results it was according to the pro-
verbal French method, no one being
hurt, although one of the combatsnts 10
said to have been go accurately aimed
at as to take OF q lock of his hair near
the parietal bone.
The exchange Of shots, as the story
goes, was the result Of q Enlargement
between a gentleman resident at the
beach and an fastener passing the cum
mer at Santal Monica.
According to those who claim to know
the inside of the trouble the subject OF
the A. P. A. drifted into the CONVERSE
tion in which the gentlemen were in
dulging, and each one accused the other
OF being a member of the organization.
A general denial was made by both in
language more or less excited, and the
lie was passed. A blow was struck and,
although no great physical damage was
done, the feelings Of both men were so
badly wrenched that nothing but the
satisfaction Of the code was left to wipe
out the mutual grievance.
A meeting was arranged then and
there to take place on the beach, within
sound of the breaking billows, and 1t
was decided that there should be no Sec
onds or witnesses.
Shortly before dark the principals
promptly showed up on the beach. and
after removing the sand from their shoes
stood up at an agreed distance and at
signal began to FIRE from their revolv-
ers. Two shots were fred by one and
three by the other, and then truce was
declared. The details of tine encounter
were whispered about among the friends
OF the principals, and it was said that.
not satisfied with the bloodless nature
of the battle, another encounter would
be arranged. this time In the presence OF
a referee. For some reason tho second
duel did not come off, but the difficulty
is not yet regarded as settled and war is
liable to break out at any moment.
