Medieval French Dca..,r.

The rank and file of the berrars
were divided into distinct classes. each
following some particular form of
mendicity to which strict attention
was demanded. One had to be a spe-
cialist and stick to his own line of bust
ness; the general practitioner was ac-
corded no recognition. The subjects
of the king of Argot kept no chronicles;
consequently our knowledge of the
beggar dynasty is somewhat limited.
Three kings, however, managed 40
make names for themselves in history.
Ragot, Solon in Rags, who founded
the monarchy and drew up a system OF
laws for its government; Anacreon,
who, wrapped in mantle of a thousand
pieces, collected aims while riding an
ass through the streets of Paris. and a
monarch who is known to us as the
king of Tunis. The latter reicned for
three years only, and was broken on
the wheel at Bordeaux because his ideas
of personal liberty differed from those
of the French government, whose min
ions happened to be stronger than his
own. AT stated periods the French
beggars held a general parliament at
Sainte Anne d'Auray, in Brittany.
where means were discussed for the
advancement of mendicity in all its
branches. What gathering it must

Talking about the queer ways some peo.

for job, said a resident of Paterson, n
j., to a Washington Star reporter the other
day, there recently died In my town a
boss carpenter named Hobart, who had one
question which he always asked of journey
men who applied to him for employment.
If the applicant was found to possess all
the other necessary qualifications Hobart
would ask:
What are your favorte tunes?"
"Why, what do you want to know that
for?"
"You whistle and sing some at your work,

"You won't do for me. These tunes are
too slow for me. Good day"
On the contrary, if the applicant answered
ooh, l generally whistle Yankee Doodle,
or The Fishers Hornpipe,' or something of
that sort, the carpenter would say at once:

JOKE GAINED HIS POINT.
Michigan Statesman's Clever Ruse
Worked on Committee
on Pensions.

Not long ago Congressman Hank" Smith,
Of the Second Michigan district, worked joke
on on the house committee on pensions. 1t
should be explained, says the Chicago Chron-
tcle, that this committee ia not the one
which has charge of the pensions which
grew out of the civil war, says correspond
ent. Its functions appertain to the granting
of pensions to the widows and veterans OF
the Mexican and Black Hawk wars and
other ancient unpleasantnesses. 1t should
also be pointed out that one of their rules is
that no widows pension shall be larger than
% month. This proceeds upon the theory
that any widow who survives a veteran of
these wars must be a comparatively young
woman and that she must have married the
veteran in his dotage to get his pension.
The new member from Michigan appeared
before the committee at it's last meeting and
IN an incidental and smiling way alluded to
the rule.
"That is fine rule" said he in guileless
sort of way. Il sympathize with it's purpose
and believe it should stand. But Just to show
good faith am going to propose an amend
ment. | move that it be amended so as to
read except in the case of widows over 100
years of age"
The members of the committee are always
in favor of joke and the proposition was
adopted with unanimous laugh.
And thereupon Hank" produced from his
pocket bill to grant pension of So a

Mattar Of Temperament.

= In English journalism, shorthand
reports of political meetings are much
more important than in America.
The Liverpool Post once sent a re-
porter, not strict teetotaler, to re-
port campaign rally at Dublin. The
programme was carried out up to the
point of the return of the reporter to
the Office, where he arrived in most
businesslike condition and sober as a
Judge. But when he sat down to his
work and attempted to write out, not
a line could he make sense of. The
editor was in despair. One of his
sons came to his assistance, but it was
of no avail. At last this young man
had a brilliant idea, and broached it
to his father. He said: Its quite
clear that Simon was tipsy when he
took the speech. It's quite clear that
he will never be able to write it out.
Things cannot be worse than they
are. What if 1 take him out on the
spot and make him tipsy again?" 1t
was the last resort. Away they went.
The desired temperament was speed
ily produced, and when the veteran
reporter came back, thick in his voice
and apparently by no means clear in
his ideas, he wrote out the whole of
the speech without the slightest diff
culty.-San Francisco Wave.

CHAPTER V.
RIDER GETS A SURPRISE.


Obed Rider was far from easy in his
mind as the train sped on, leaving San
Francisco behind. He had slept on
board the vessel the previous night un-
til the noise of the second mate arous-
ing the captain had awakened him.
They did not call him, knowing the en-
nifty that had existed between himself
and Tom, but he overheard enough to
tell him that Tom was alive, although
badly hurt and out of his head with
fever.
He knew Tom was in utter ignorance
of the identity of his assailant, but had
he been aware of the loss of the belt?
Would the skipper remember the time
he had seen the mate coming out of
Toms room and place any new sig
nifcance on the incident?
A guilty conscience made him imag-
inc all sorts of dangers to himself, and
he trembled each time the train stopped
at a station lest an officer should be
in wait for him.
But nothing of the kind happened,
| and in due time he reached Seattle.
Here things seemed more encouraging,
for he was fortunate enough to find a
| man who had engaged a passage on a

Child Cunning,

The cunning of children is well rec
ognized to be of very superior kind,
and it is seldom, If given a chance,
that they cannot inveigle their elders
into seeing things their way. The fol-
lowing is an instance of where little
girl slipped up on this by not taking
into consideration that her mother
had had enough experience with chill
dren to have an insight into their
nature. The girls birthday was a
couple of weeks off, and her parents
had told her that they were going to
give her q handsome present upon
that occasion. She had been counting
''the minutes" for several days, but
thinking she could not possibly await
her birthday without knowing what
her present would be, stole softly UP
to her mother, begging her to show
her tile present. "Why, it wouldn't be
right to show it to you now," her
mother answered, because we want
to surprise you on your birthday"
"Oh, that's all right" exclaimed the
little one, "I'll forget what it is be-
fore then" Buffalo News.

struck? Have you watch or money
Tom interrupted him with hoarse
cry and sat bolt upright.
"My belt!" he painted, wildly.
His hands went to his waist and
then the full force Of hisloss burst upon
him.
1t was gone!
The unfortunate young man looked
stupidity at the sailor a moment, then
he broke into meaningless laughter and
fell back upon the bed. The blow had
robbed him of his scattered senses and
he tainted
When the doctor reached his side a
few hours later, Tom was suffering
from brain fever and could not be
moved. The second mate had sum-
moned Capt. Coffin and now turned to
him, saying:
'We can't leave him alone and with
out a cent. L was going to try my luck
up north in the mines, but hang me if
I'll leave him this way. I'm going to
stay alongside the poor chap till he gets
got!"
Put it there!" roared the bluff old
skipper, holding out his hard fist.
You're man, you are. But there
plenty of money belonging to him in
my safe, and you needn't use a cent of
yours. See he has the best care and
call on me for the pay when you need
it,"
That afternoon the northern train
included Obed Rider among its passen-
gers, while Tom Scott tossed uneasily
from side to side, rambling on about
secret trails and gold mines until the
stout sailor by his side shook his head
sorrowfully as he glanced at the burn
ing cheeks and growled:
I'm afraid the poor fellow has got
his discharge"

Fable of the Small Bird.

Once upon a time there was bantam
rooster with an immense opinion of HIM
self, and as he stood in the barnyard he
said: -,
'T will make stir in the world. 1 will
attract attention"
Wherefore he began to crow Justify, al
though he had nothing much to crow
about.
Now it happened that far above the ban
tam hawk was wheeling in the circum-
ambient air. The hawk had not seen the
bantam, owing to the latter's diminutive
proportions, but when the bantam crowed
the hawk heard and in about z3 seconds
had his claws full and was contentedly
winging his flight homeward, while all was
still below.
