THE NAUGHTY BEGGAR.
He Informed the Woman as to His 90.
cupatiOn-TaIes of the Pro-
fessiOnaI,

The professional beggar who has
been making his appearance in Amer
lean cities as self-constituted orna-
ment to the close of the century is a
contribution from Europe, where he
has long fourished in splendor or
poverty according to the profits of the
season, says the Youths Companion.
He is man of resources who rises
quickly to an occasion, as is evidenced
in the story of the tramp who was
called in from the street to decide a
dispute, and was asked if he could eat
30 quails in 30 days. "Quails!" said the
tramp, contemptuously. MAKE it tur-
keys!" -..
Another tale of beggary relates to
French mendicant who stopped a
gentleman on the streets of Paris, and
asked for aims. When he was curtiy
refused, he turned away with an air OF
desperation, and exclaimed bitterly:
''Then am driven to it,"
Fearing that he meant self-destruc'
ton, the gentleman called him back
gave him a coin and asked him what
he meant by the threat.
Sir" said the beggar, II meant that
if you did not give me money | should
be driven to work"
Miss Bates, who has written anc
| published an interesting book on trav
els in Spain, relates that the beggars
| of that country are amusingly proud
and are exceedingly polite SO long as
nothing is said or done to wound then
pride. She tells a story of friend, ;
German woman, who requested :
strong man who had importuned he
for charity to carry her bag up th'
stairs. The strong man started bacl
at this unusual request, drew himsel
up haughtily, frowned and replied:
Madam, I am beggar, not la

The Emperor,s Joke.

When Emperor William informed
Herr Won Buelow that he was now inn
perial chancellor Buelow expressed
his gratitude in fitting terms, but all
at once he looked sober. The en-
peror, perceiving this, said:
''What is the matter now, Buelow?'
81 Just chanced to think of my
wife" he replied. "She has nothing
against the chancellorshlp, but I
fear she will have a great deal against
the chancellor's palace. Her present
home, I need not say, is regular
little iewel-box for order and neat
ness. The chancellor's palace will
have to be thoroughly cleaned be-
fore she will go into it, and this
time IL months will no more than
clean it to her satisfaction"
"Give my greetings to the count
ess," his majesty replied, amiably
"and tell her I will contribute my
part toward the cleaning of the pal
ace"
When Buelow told this to the count
ess, she took it to mean that the EN-
peror would see that the palace was
thoroughly renovated, and she ever
decided upon the style of tie decora
tions. But few days later a very
bulky parcel was left at the counties:
Won Buelow's by the emperor's or
ders. 1t contained a hundredweigh
of soap, his majesty's promised con
trihution toward the great cleanins

on leave OF duty. although it Is exas-
perating work breaking them in. Many
OF them see salt water for the first
time when they enter the service, and
their sreenness concerning everything
pertaining to their duties makes them
the butt OF all the Others and although
we try to protect them all we can the

ignorance to amuse themselves at the
expense Of the new men.

struck her, and she said:
'Ah, there is one more thing. Let
me ask if any one has ever died in the

why, yes, believe SO" he re-

That settles it then. and won't
take the house."

Yes. but the idea is uncanny. I'll
look for new house.
