 One day I met him in Union Square. "How's business 2 I asked. He was lean ing against tree, deeply intent on some figures in book. He slipped the book into his pocket and began to whine.
 "Never mind your regular story. said, TT know it. Answer my question like a man and you may add a dollar to your bank account"
 After little preliminary slxirmishing he waxed confidential.
 'I make 1t a rule,, he said5- "never to walk less than 100 blocks each day. It is very poor block that doesn't average two and one-half cents. Two blocks will more often net me ten cents" He con- suited the book. "Yes. the average of the last six months Is s5 a day, that is just i've cents a block. I have been on this beat nearly year now, and have my regular customers. Excuse me a 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 Pacihc Union Club In moment he returned with a bright new quarter in his hand.
 'I told him my wife was better today, he said, smiling pleasantly, and that sne prayed for him night and day. Well, so long, your dollar passes the limit today and business Is over"
 Can you blame him? Five dollars day Is the wages of first-class mechanic. Why should not begging become a profession when people are such easy game?

BEGGING EASIER THAN WORK.
At Least That's Why One Man Sold Out a
 Street Stand
From the Overland Monthly.

From the Overland Monthly.
 once got a rather curious confession from professional beggar. which, if true, and believe it was, opened my eyes to the reckless ways in which American beggars are made. 'T had been keeping a sidewalk stand for years" said he. T worked hard and earned from 8 to A a week. On that I lived. One night when I started to go home by the Mission street cars I found that my pocket had been picked. It was too far to walk, so decided to borrow a nickel. The first man to whom told my story gave me quarter without hesitation.

A NECKLACE OF PEARLS.

Is beautiful possession. If woman owns one, and if a single pearl drops off the string, she makes haste to find and restore it.
 Good health is more valuable possession than a necklace of the most beautiful pearls, yet one by one the jewels of health slip away, and women seem indifferent until tis almost too late, and they cannot be restored.
 To die before you are really old is to suffer premature death, and that is sin. Itis sin because it is the result of repeated violations of natures laws.
 Pain, lassitude and weariness, inability to sleep, dreadful dreams, starting violently from sleep, are all symptoms of nerve trouble.
 You cannot have nerve trouble and keep your health. In ninety-nine cases out of a hundred the womb, the ovaries and the bladder are affected. They are not vital organs, hence they give out soonest.

slowly But Surely Plans Are Being Carried
Out for Landing tho American
Forces in Cuba

TAMPA, Fla, May g. -Slowly but
surely arrangements are being made
Tor the landing of American forces In
Cuba. By Friday the following fleet
OF vessels is expected to be in waiting
at the wharves at Tampa for the re-
ception of the United States troops:
The Florida, Olivette and Mascotte, of
the Plant line; the Alamo and Comal,
of the Mallory line; the Arkansas and
possibly the Lampasas, of the Oregon
line, and the Allegheny and
Burkshire, of the Merchants &
Miners line. These boats all have
been contracted for and have a
carrying capacity of about 6, 900 troops.
1t is not believed, however, that the
embarkation will take place before
Sunday. Much remains to be done in
the way of gathering ammunition and
supplies, and several days must elapse
before all Is in readiness. 1t is be-
lieved that the force will be made up
OF 5000 infantry, 1000 cavalry and ten
batteries of artillery, in all close to
5000 men. Only one regiment of cav
airy, the Ninth, is now in camp at
Tampa, but the Tenth, now at Chicka-
manga, will, it is believed, be brougf. t

Expected Naval Battle Between Adm.
Dewey and spanish Fleet.

Madrid, April 80. 1T was a glori-
Gus day for Spanish arms" remarked
Gen. Correa in the chamber of deputies,
commenting on the engagement be-
tween the American fleet and the
Spanish land force at Matanzas. Gen.
Correa aroused much laughter among
the members when he detailed how
the casualties resulting from the
bombardment were on the Spanish
side but one mule, killed, while
the three bombarding vessels were
damaged very considerably and COM
PEELED to retire in fact, were "com-
pletely routed" 1t is deemed impossi-
BILE here for the Americans to effect a
landing on the shores of Matanzas
harbor, as the bay has been thoroughly
fortified with torpedoes and subma-
rine mines. The entire Spanish ma
ton awaits with much confidence the
conflict between the two fleets now in
the vicinity of the Philippine islands.
No one doubts for a moment the
triumph of Spain.

has broken the backbone of the Mis-
souri, mule trust by refusing to accept
the bids recently sent in for furnish
ing these animals for the army. The
big dealers in mules in st. Louis and
Kansas City formed a trust of their
own when the demand for the animals
became so brisk and advanced the
price about SIS head. When the bids
were opened it was discovered that
there was scarcely 20 cents difference
in the highest and lowest bids.
