He tells the investor TO send his money

BEooAR KINGS OF CHINA.
One Way in Which Certain Mougoli-

One Way in Which Certain Mougoli-
ans Become Rich.
If you want to grow rich in China
become the head Of a guild of beggars,
thieves, or lepers. Marking, Pekin,
and Tien-Tsin are the headquarters of
the most powerful of these guilds, and
their rulers are wealthy and respected.
The king" of a clan of Chinese vaga-
bonds of these classes derives his in
come from a tribute rendered him by
his wetched subjects, and also levies
a sort of blackmail on traders and mer-
chants by undertaking to keep their
shops, stores, and houses free from par
ticular pests which he controls.
From these two sources he realizes
large income, and is enabled to live
in large house and keep up a great
style in his mode of life. Each clan
has a particular district of the city
given over to its operation, beyond
which its members are forbidden to
stray.
Horrible self-mutilations are prac-
ticed by the beggars of China in order
that their deformities may excite COM
passion and lead to profit On certain
days the beggers go about in gangs
from so to $50. On these occasions
shopkeepers are only too glad to COM
ply with the kings" demands for black
mail, in order that his subjects may be
kept out Of their shops.
A king of Chinese thieves knows
everything that goes on in his district.
He knows who committed certain
thefts, and where the stolen property
is. He, like his brothers of beggars.
has a double source of income. A
large percentage of the profits made
by his subjects is claimed by him. IL

by paying the king" a certain sum. ra-
cover his property. Property stolen
from Cinnamon is never brought back.
Every Chinese city has leper-house
outside its gates, and most of them
have two or more. AS In the cases Of
the beggars and thieves, there is an
executive hand, called the king of the
lepers," who controls all lepers. and
makes rules and compacts, which must
be observed. These unfortunates are
numerous throughout the empire. When
In the first stage of the disease they
are brought to the leper-houses. Good
care Is taken of them as long as their
relatives can meet the demand of the
king"
But no matter how wealthy their
families may be, the king eventually
drains them Of every penny. and both
the leper and his relatives often have
