MAKING BEGGARS.

The Society for the Prevention OF Cruelty 10
Children has undertaken gooc work ih AZ
tempting to stop street solicitation for chari'ies
nv children. 1t IS n favorie device OF worthy
but overearnest reform and missionary laporers
and of schemers who work the charltaDie lor
their own profit TO send ont children 10 Deg.
They think thus to get enthusiastic service lro"
\ larger number Of persons than their adult con-
stItuency would furnish and TO reap Deheh,
from the Indulgence allowed to the appeals OF
hoys and girls The honest promoters or this
sort of activity probably fatter themselves that
they are training the youngsters in good WORKS.
while they are i'm reality teaching them to he
hold and often dishonest. Unscrupulous con-
Germs who use them, as n padrOne does MS III
fant beggars and cripples, merely to serve thelr
own purposes naturally care nothing Tor the
effect of the demoralizing business on the chl
dren or on the community.
The cases related in the police court amply
justified interference. 1t was shown that llttle
girls made habit of stopping passers III the
street TO ask for pennies in the name of charity
funds. and then used the product OF their beg
ging TO buy candy and other things for them
selves This evil has before been brought 10
attention, and children thus carrying on fraud
nave been warned. but the same ones are found
nractising il again. The real responsibility
rests with those who encourage them ana put
in their way the temptation to lie ana Steal
II IS unreasonable to expect that children WIN
large appetites for sweets and toys will resist
the temptation TO spend money which they OBJ
tain by begging and do not have to account FOR
Even if a child does honestly turn over TO
fund what he raises fy Lis "lark"-f0r rarely
are such undertakings anything but a search
for good time-he has learned how to stand
in the street and poster people and get things
not because he ought to have them. but because
he Is amusing or makes himself nuisance
This is one of the worst lessons a child can
learn. The whole course of education Is meant
TO teach him TO expect TO win by merit and not
by favor TO undermine that teaching Is to do
injury which far outweghs any possible good
from the proceeds of his begging.
We hope the police will stop this nuisance in
our streets. And we hope also that philan-
thropic societies will some day conclude that to
make children either bcggars or prgs. who con-
slider it their duty to lecture the elders Of their
own and other families on morals, Is TO weaken
rather than upbuild the character Of the COM
Ing generation. There is generosity and philan-
thropy enough to support worthy enterprises
properly presented without spelling the children,
and unworthy ones which must rely on them
ought to fail Let us cultivate sef-respcct and
modesty among our young folks

ELEPHANT ON PLEASURE BENT.
Intects Little Life Iato the Dull. wintry
Days.

Raiah, the big elephant which be-
longs to a circus wintering at Kansas
City, Mo-, has been trying 10 liyen ur
the long dull days at the quarters oc-
cupied by the animals. The interior OF
the building has been fitted up with an
eye to the warmth and comfort OF the
beasts. This fall hundreds OF bales OF
hay were stacked up around the walls
and against the cages to keep out the
cold. A big stove in the center of the
room is kept glowing, night and day.
Tho monotony of his existence be-
coming intolerable, Rajah snapped his
chain and started out for little diver
sion. He seemed TO think the stove
needed some attention, and toward il
he was making with a rush when he
was headed of by his keeper. The bales
of hay were the next object Of the ell
ephant's playfulness. and these he
hurled about like so many chips. Sev-
eral cages containing small animals
next received attention from him, and
these were toppled over. The screams
of the occupants were taken up by the
other animals, and, what with shrek

The keeper boldly attacked his
charge, but as he approached Rajah
with a heated poker the beast caught
him with his trunk and hurled him SCI.
eral feet in the air. By this time other
attaches of the show, who had been at
tracted by the disturbance. arrived on
the scene, and with the aid OF heated
pokers, hooks and iron bars succeeded
in driving Rajah TO his corner, where
he showed the white flag and begged
for mercy under the blows and punish

II was with difficulty that the rest Of
the beasts were consoled, nnd peace and

ONE NOT EASILY MOVED.
True Story of What Was Needed to Get
Move on Mr.. Blank.


Move on Mr.. Blank.
A pretty girl living near New York
is affected with q large number OF
would-be beaux. but has no use for
any of them. For one, in particular,
she had less than no use.
He showed up one evening in . BIZ
cycle suit and while he sat in the par
lor with the pretty girl, the pretty
girls little brother seyved the bicycle
cap firmly down to the corner of the
hall table and then dumped all the
oil from the caller's bicycle lamp. But
Mr.. Blank never murmured while he
picked the stitches from his cap as he
said good night, and walked the 2H
miles home without complaint.
OF course, the pretty girl thought
that Mr.. Blank would never show up
again and gave little brother half .
dozen bear hugs as a reward for bounc-
ing him But ten days later Mr.. Blank
appeared again as if nothing had hap
pened; this time in evening dress, with
q silk hat. 1t was an awful hot night,
but little brother was on deck just the
same, and a thin slice OF limburger
cheese went under the lining Of that
hat before the evening was over.
Mr.. Blank did not depart until 1880
that evening, but nothing was ever
heard of the cheese. This time the
pretty girl and little brother made bets
that Mr.. Blank would never call again.
But Mr.. Blank did call again. and with
q smile on his inocent round face. At
about $50 little brother strolled into
the parlor, and walking up to the clock
pushed the hands around a couple Of
hours ahead and strolled out again.
silently. Mr.. Blank went early that
evening and has not been back since.
