"WHAT STREET is THlS?"
The Above Question Is Asked Daily
BY Strangers Here.

It is not an unusual sight here in Ell
Paso and Is of almost daily occurrence
to observe visitors, and in fact some
times residents of the city, gaping and
staring unconsciously into space and
wondering "where they are At The
streets of FL Psso, q city of some 5000
Inhabitants, have no signs or placards
announcing the street names, the re-
suit being that people are obliged to
undergo much Inconvenience and an
noyauce, ADD perhaps lose valuable
time.
This is radically wrong and the
difficulty could easily be overcome and
remedied by little careful attention
and incidentally a small outlay of
funds.
Tucson, for instance, or in fact any of
the towns half the population of El
Paso, sees to it that public streets aud
highways are properly signalled out
by board sign OR poster uck up in Il
conspicuous, place announcing the
name of the said street.
Here in Ell Paso, a thriving city, the
gateway to old Mexico, a mecca for the
tourist and the traveller, it is neces
sary to grope about, enquiring OF
strangers and passers-by the street
desired.

A NOVEL SCHEME
For Beating The UnwAry Stranger.

With the influx of hoboes and sure
thing men that infest Ell PAso this
time of the season, there are many OF
that craft who exist merely upon the
ingenuity OF various ways and means
known to the profession is "graft-
ing.'
To attempt the definition of the
word "work"d would be almost q crime
to these professional knock abouts.
Every conceivable kind of graft" has
been perpetrsted here frcm time to
time upon the unwary, but the latest
fad of the "grafters' to obtain three
meals a day without the necessary
piece of professional cunning.
A fairly well dressed parsonage will
approach some individual, usually
standing on the street Or;t''holding
down" the front end OF q gambling re-
sort, and wearing look OF woe
begone 6ejectedness. OplaccostinR the
object of his pity the stranger without
the formality of an Introduction wi

the man will invite his newly made
friend to near by restaurant and the
two sit down to sumptuous repast,
chatting pleasantly, but the fairly
dressed party always maintaining an
air of DIGNITY land independence and
incid entally making it q. special point
to finish the meal in advance of the
invited one.
After partaking of the various dishes
of his choice land there are many the
CRATER will offer an excuse that he is
obliged to see party down the street
and must be on his way. "Don't hur-
ry yourself, my friend'', he will say to
the man gulping down his meal. II

you hand and nod your head SO that the
clerk will know you are the person

The unsuspecting victim, thinking
himself "what q good fellow the graft
err Isl, does as directed. AS the man
at. the counter is whispering sopfly to
the cashier he is merely reversing
| things. saying. "That young fellow, -
indicating the table, will pay for both
of us''. The cashier casting his optics
in the direction of the person indicat-
ed recognizes the nod of approval and
being assured everything Is o. x. the
CRATER quietly darts out the door to

What effect the diplomacy that Is
brought to play by the victim, coupled
with all sorts of explanations and
astounding surprises, has on the inn
keeper remains to be seen. The scheme
is now fully understood by both. At

plantations, they finally agree to srbi-
