BEGGING E%AsIERTHAN MORN

At Least That's Why Ons Man Sold out Q
Street Stand.
! once got q rather curious confession
from a professional beggar, which il
true, and ] believe it was, opened my
eyes to the reckless ways in which
American beggars are made. II had
been keeping q sidewalk stand for
years." said ha. 81 worked hard and
earned from IS to 81 a week. On that I
lived. One night when / started to 70
home by the Mission street cars I found
that my pocket had been picked. It was
too far to walk, so I decided to borrow
q nickel. The first man to whom I told
my story gave me a quarter without
hesitation. All the way home I thought
1t over. A quarter was as much as I
made clear at my stand many a day. It
all ended by my selling out and going
to begging. always telling my first
story. / have done pretty we'll since
then and like the business
One day I met him in Union square.
CLOVIS business2" I asked. He was
leaning against a tree, deeply intent on
some figures in q book. He slipped the
book into his pocket and began to whine.
"Never mind your regular story
said, II know It. Answer my question
like a man, and you may add q dollar
to your bank account"
After a little preliminary skirmish-
ing he waxed confidential.
81 make it q rule" he said, "never
to walk less than 100 blocks each day.
It is a very poor block that doesn' t aver.

often net me 10 cents" He consulted
the book. eyes, the average Of the last
six months is IS a day-that is, just s
cents a block. I have been on this beat
nearly a year now, and I have my regu-
lar customers. Excuse me q minute"
He passed through the fog to the other
side Of the street and touched his hat
to an elderly acquaintance of mine who
was coming down the broad steps of
the Pacific Union club. In q moment he
returned with q bright new quarter in
his hand.
II told him my wife was better to-
day." he said. smiling pleasantly, "and
that she prayed for him night and day.
Well, E o long! Your dollar passes the
limit today-and business is over"
Can you blame him? Five dollars a
day is the wages Of q first class mechan-

profession when people are such easy
game?-Overland Monthly.

An English newspaper, in an article
on the Siamese army, says: "In II re
spect the Siamese army is superior to
every other, and that is in its elephant

which are stronger, though smaller,
than those of India, are organized into
a special corps, commanded by a retired
Anglo Indian officer, and their heads,
trunks and other vulnerable parts are
protected against bullets by india rub.

Disraeli's Manner.

have no doubt Disraeli loses friends

arises from nearsightedness. I perceive
that he cannot tell what O'Clock it is
without using his glass. and somebody
told me lately that he saw him mailing

bus. His face ia often haggard aud his
dir weary and disappointed, but he has
the brow and eyes Of q poet, which are
always pleasant to look upon.
He generally says the right thing at
the right minute and in the right way,
and he is Justify cheered, but sitting
among the opposition I have abundant
reason to note that he is not completely
trusted. 1t is said that young Stanley
and other youngsters of his class believe
In him and that the man who is SO tact
