would be obliged to collar them and repre-
sent them in the morning as Migrants.
They call them vags III the police court
for the want OF time to do justice to the
English language, and besides, it is more
humiliating ''Vags'' has been foreshort-
ened TO go with rags, and jags and dogs
and hogs.
The nfteen or twenty Of the excess who
could not be accommodated on the Euro
pean plan were very happy in the cellar
hall with the steaming pipes, the thick
walls, and especially the consciousness
that they were not to answer the police
court roll-caH today. All of these will be
given a chance TO work today at the mis-
sion. The cclored unfortunates were also
evidently honest people, who would rather
work than beg on the streets. This kind OF
poverty, or rather this phase of this kind
Of pauperism, has its humor. The fact that
these fellows were well housed made this
vintage Of 1897 effervesce in the cellar.
They were paradoXically enough quite
happy, told each other funny stories, and
philosophical about the poor people OF
Chicago ana New York or the dozens OF
places they have lately visited
