Routed by the Word Police.

Ono of the Broadway beggars, the old
woman who pretends to be selling match.
es, was standing In front Of q restaurant
late last night as q cab drove up. She
hurried toward the vehicle. Three men In
evening dress jumped out, and the old wo-
man held out her right hand with box Of
matches, while her left hand was extended
for aims. She said never a word, and the
two men who alighted first passed on with
out noticing her. The third man stopped
TO settle with the cabman and then start
cd to follow his companions, who had en-
tered the restaurant
The old woman still had both hands ex-
tended, and the man put up his right hand
to wave her aside. He didn't touch her,
but tho old woman saw her chance to make
q strike. She fell on her back with groan
and began to moan.
"Oh, shame TO push poor old womanl"
she cried, none too softly, pointing at the
man in evening clothes.
He stammered an apology, forgetting for
the moment that he had not touched her.
Tho old woman kept on groaning as she
slowly got ON her feet. Several people had
collected and had begun to sympathize
with her before the man In evening clothes
recovered his presence of mind. Then he
remembered that he had not touched the
begQar and promptly denounced her as n
swindler and said that he would have her
arrested the moment policeman appeared.
The effect on the old woman was magical.
She stopped groaning, darted around the
corner and hurried toward Sixth sycpue.

THE PoaTeR's NAME.
He Got 1t Through One Of Eugene Fields
little Jokes.

Mr. Alfred Luddington, colored porter
mt the Hotel Victoria, derives this name
from the fact that be was raised by Colonel
Luddington of the Luddington House in
Lawrence, Kan. BY virtue of this fact
and the grace of Eugene Field he Is
known as Alfred Luddington, but his
right name is Alfred Mcmillan. Alfred
was porter at the Coates House when that
hostelry was peryaded by Field in 1881.
Next to Colonel Coates himself and a very
pompous night clerk whom Field had on
his staff the man who most enjoyed the
poets favor was Tom Griffin, the night
bartender. Alfred, the night porter, also
came in for share of Fields attentions.
The paper on which Field worked con-
tanned frequent editorial illusions to Colo
mel Coates, the clerk and Tom Griffin, all
of which were duly and suitably recipro-
Gated, but Alfred was left out in the cold.
One night Field said to Mr.. Griffin:
"1om, we must give Alfred personal
In the paper. what's his name?"
"Darnfno," said Griffin. "He used to
work for old Colonel Luddington up to
Lawrence
"Nery well,' said Field gravely, "we
will call him Alfred Luddington, then"
And he solemnly entered tho item in a
book he hshed out of one Of his pockets
for that purpose.
The negro stood by with staring eyes,
and an occasional "haw, haw" not vouch.
safing any further information. The next
day Fields paper contained an editorial
paragraph:
"The many friends of Mr.. Alfred Lud
dington of .he Coates House will be sorry
to learn t5at he is slowly wasting away
from the effects of early piety."
That is how Alfred got his name. And,
although he cannot read, he still carries
q clipping of this notice in an old worn
,pocketbook.
"Tom Griffin done put up dat job on
me and Mr.. Fields wrote him up" he
said to reporter. can hyar / is alibe

away with suspicious moisture in his
eye, solemnly shaking his head.-kansas
