ORIGIN OF PAN-HANDLER.
Its Invention Attributed TO Mink
DusenhoGer, Tough Restaurant
Keeper of San Francisco.

One of those slang words which, at
first frowned upon, become regular and
recognized individuals in the verbal
community because they express some
thing for which there is no other ade-
quate expression, is the noun pan
handler" and its offshoot is the verb
ito panhandle" A number Of letters
have recently been received by the Sun
asking by what authority the word PAN
handler was used, and whence it came.
The answer was that it established it.
self by authority of its being the only
word to express that form Of beggary
which is characterized by the implied
OF actual threat of violence. AS for the
source of the word, the suggestion was
made that a pan-handler is one who
handles Il pan or can or GROWER, some
thing used for carrying drinks.
Other correspondents objected to this
on the ground that in this city, at least,
Il GROWER is frequently called can" or
duck" or pitcher" but never pan"
On shipboard the term pan might be
used in this sense, but panhandle is not
Il marine word. Another suggestion
was that the word came from the west,
where the tough tramps who follow the
line of the Panhandle railroad are
called pan-handlers. From a Culifor-
man who is visiting in town Sun re-
porter got another version of the words
origin.
about ten years ago." said the Cali
fornian, there was chap called Mink
Dusenhoffer in San Francisco who start
ed Il bar and 'caffy,' as he called it, down
near the water front. His place was
pretty tough, but he had good things
to eat, and the 'caffy' did big business.
One night his entire force of walters
struck for higher wages and Mink
turned 'em out. In their places he got
Il gang of scattermouches and multi
grubbers that didn't know bean soup
from charlotte russo, commonly or
dered under the name of Charley Ross.
Dusenhoiler undertook to train 'em by
disciplinarian methods, chiefly enforced
with a beer mallet On the third night
there were five fights in the place be-
tween customers and walters; one man
was shot and the whole gang of recruits
fell on Mink and broke his head. Then
they looted the bar and got drunk.
That night about three dozen people
were held up in that part of the city.
Mink put out placard that read:
The Public is Warned against the Gang
of Slush singers, Dish swabbers and Pan
handlers. that Left my Place yesterday.
They arc Thieves ard Nurderers, and there
IS enough Buckshot waiting for them Here
to Blow them all to Hell, where they Be-
long. MINK DUSENHOFFER.'
That gang made things lively for
awhile, but they didn't tackle the 'caffy.'
Every time there was an arrest for a
hold-up or assault during the next
month word went along the water
front:
"'There's another of Mink's pam

Pretty soon the word became fin

TWO KINDS OF PEOPLE.

There are two kinds OF people on earth to-
day,
Just two kinds of people-no more, say.
Not the sinner and saint. for it's well I'M
derstood
The good are half bad and the bad are half
good.
Not the rich and the poor. for in counting
mans wealth
You must first know the state of his con-
science and health.
Not the humble and proud. for in life's lit
tie span
Who puts on vain airs is not counted man.
Not the happy and sad. for the swift flying
years
Bring each man his laughter and each man
his tears.
No. the two kinds of people on earth
Are the people who lift and the people who
lean.
Wherever you go you will find the worlds
Are always divided in just these two
classes;
And. oddly enough, you will find. too. I
ween,
There is only one litter to twenty who lean.
In which class are you? Are you easing
the load
OF overtaxed nfters who toll down the
road?
Or are you leaner, who let's others bear
Your portion of labor and worry and care?
