THE BEGGARS' TRUST.
Controls and AllOtS Certain Dis
tricts to the Aims Seekers.

A severe blow was dealt the "beg-
gars' trust" SAID to control street beg.
ging in the downtown district of Chi
cago by Officers Goggin and Short of
the central detail when they brought
into the juvenile court six children
whom they had found begging on the
downtown streets. The officers, who
are detailed to the Visitation and Aid
Society,,made "round>up' last week.
They had been watching children on
the,streets after dark for several MIG hts,
and had collected evidence to show
that they all maintained their stands
regularly, so they captured six of them.
Like others who have been arrested
since the "trust" was first discovered,
each of these children was found 10
have a certain allotted district in
which to beg and was not allowed to
solicit aims on any other corner than
her own.
Lucy Petrini of 200 Polk street held
one OF the corners at State and Madi-
son streets. kunzie George of 100 Pa
cific avenue begged in front of the Co
lumbus Memorial building, State and
Washington streets. The children
lived with their parents and in most
cases, it is said, the families lived
chiefly on the aims secured by the
little ones.
"There's one we missed" said officer
Short in reporting the cases. GA little
girl years old, SO small she cannot
open store doors, has been begging and
selling chewing gum in saloons. We
have found that her father-Or a man
who says he is her father-goes with
her and opens the saloon doors for her.
She begs pennies or sells gum and
comes out and gives him the money
and then they 90 to the next saloon.
He is al able bodied man, and obtains
his living IN that way, but We will
break up the scheme pretty soon."

ADVICE THE FARMERS.
Commissioner Stevens on improving Cotton
land,


Commissioner Stevens monthly talk,
Just issued, urges upon the Georgia
farmers the necessity OF rotating their
crops ard counsel general reduction of
the cotton acreage. He points out the
increased output of cotton, which in the
past thirty years has beed fourfold, leaps
ing from 100000 to 100000 bales,
which has necessarily been deteriorating
to the soil, and offers the following sug~
gesti0ns as to the best means to build up
these run down lands:
Nothing in our experience Will re-
store wasted and thin lands so rapidly
and effectually as the cow pea. After you
cut y, ur grain in the spring sew the land
down IN peas. After the first 1rost turn
under the vines and seed to wheat or
oats Continue this rotation for three
wears and you can increase the fertility
Of your land threefold. The pea vine is
to the south what the clover is to the
west"
In addition to the advice given by
c. mmissioner Stevens the bulletin con-
tains an article by State School Commits
81 ner Glenn Oh the education OF the
farmer and the dignity Of agriculture,
showing the community of interest be-
tween the departments CT education and
agriculture.

CLOTHES AND THE MAN.
The Difference Being Well Dressed Made to
Cabinet Official.

"Yes, the clothes q man wears make
a great deal of difference in this world,
especially in official life." remarked
the private secretary of a cabinet Off
cial, who Is compelled to see many
people and to hold many more people

II was especially struck with the
importance of clothing some time ago."
continued the official, when the as
sistant secretary was absent and 1t
was my duty to stave all the callers
off the secretary. / do that often, but
when the assistant secretaries are here
they help a great deal.
"Well, l noticed on the occasion l
referred to that had no trouble in
keeping people away when wore my
Prince Albert and looked like the real
thing. When told them that the Sec
rotary was too busy to see callers, they
thought l owned the whole place and
walked away without remonstrance or
without saying that their business was
very important and they were sure
they would be seen if | would just take
their names to the secretary.
"When | wore an average looking
business suit, which might look just
little bit shabby, the callers didn't pay
much attention to what said. 1t was
more difficult than you can imagine to
get them to go away. They would find
all kinds of excuses to remain and to
get me to present their names to the
secretary. The difference was so ap-
preciable as to be noticed by others in
the room. found that it paid me to go
well dressed on all occasions and that
was much more useful to my execu-
tive Washington Star.

TWO MEAN TOWNS,
The Stories That the Travelling Men Tell
About Them.

They were talking about bad towns.
1.-THE meanest place | ever was in"
said the man who travels for a Chicago
house, sis down in Massachusetts. Say,
do you know what happened while l
was stopping there Once2 A man had
fallen through hole in sidewalk and
sustained injuries that resulted in the
loss of his right arm. He sued the city
for damages, and the case was tried
before a jury, which, the papers said,
was composed Of representative citi-
zens. Well, what do you suppose they
did to him? Brought in verdict in
favor of the city, holding that mas
much as he was left handed his injury
didn't amount to anything"
EYES," the cigar man said, that's a
pretty mean town, admit, but know
of a worse one. This place is in Penn
sylvania. An acquaintance of mine
down there was injured some time ago
in pretty much the same way the man
you mentioned got hurt. He fell on a
bad sidewalk and lost one Of his legs.
He sued the city, and didn't get any
thing. l never heard just why, but
probably because the jurors didn't be-
lieve he needed more than one leg in
his business, seeing that he was bar
Der and couldn't hone razor or shave
a man with his foot anyway. But
wait, / haven't come to the point at
which the real meanness developed.
Being a poor man, he couldn't afford to
buy a cork leg, so he had to get along
with a wooden peg, and one day while
he was crossing the principal street
this peg in some way got wedged be-
tween a couple Of paving stones right
in the middle of the street car track.
It took them nearly an hour to get him
loose, and what do you suppose hap
pened then? Blamed if they didn't go
and fine him $40 and costs for obstruct-
Ing traffic"-Chicago Times Herald.

And IL is learned that there are really
only eleven Senators who can be APP

considerable number. But only eleven

And OF these there are only four.
