CHARITY AND BEGGARg,

1.-THE poor always we have with you"
1t is the pleasure of charitable people
during the holiday season to relieve
the wants of the poor and send cheer
into homes that. without the kind
thoughtfulness of the charitable. would
remain cherries. There Is nothing
that gives more real happiness than
relieving distress and making others
happy. 1t is to be hoped that especial
efforts will be made during this Christ
mas-tide in behalf of the poor.
But it should be borne in mind that
indiscriminate giving is not true char
ity. The streets are already beginning
to be well dotted with professional
beggars who. taking advantage of the
spirit of the season. hope to reap a
rich harvest of small coins from holt
day shoppers. A great many of these
beggars are "fakirs." For the purpose
of exciting sympathy they show in
juries and deformities that are made
up" for the occasion. Numbers OF
them are able-bod and would be at
work if they did not find it more profit
able to beg. We recently commented
on the rich beggars of New York,
many of whom own houses and other
valuable property and have comfort
able bank accounts, but who continue
to beg because by means Of II they are
able to secure an income of several
dollars a day No doubt many Of the
beggars who are to be seen on the
streets of Savannah are much better
off in this worlds goods than the
majority of those who drop nickels and
dimes into their outstretched and eager
palms.
Poverty is no disgrace. Honest pow
erty does not parade itself The de-
serving poor make every eff
fort possible TO help themselves,
by seeking honest employment
and clinging to 1t when they have
found IT, Misfortune may overtake
anyone. and IL is not every unfortun-
ate who is able to work. But misfor-
tune does not destroy self-respect.
That is why the deserving poor in
nearly all instances endeavor rather
to conceal their condition than to pa
rade II.
It is a safe assertion that all pan
handlers" tramps and the like. and
the great majority OF street beggars,
are unworthy and ought to be passed

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Hartford Comm Times (Dem)
says: Really, the biggest thing on
earth in these days is the American To-
baco Company. 1t has bought up. not
only the principal cigarette factories
OF Germany and Austria, but of Turkey
and Japan also"
The Baltimore American (Rep.) says:
Was Maclay discharged as an act OF
justice or because his continuance in
the naval employ was embarrassing,
as tending to keep up the discussion
the Navy Department Is so anxious to
have dropped? If the former, ii is odd
that he is the only member of the plain
conspiracy against Admiral Schley to
be brought TO book. Justice does not
discriminate in Furnishing offenders OF
the same stamp. Expediency does"
The New York World (Dem) says:
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson is
again to the front with his favorite
theory that the United States might
and should grow everything out of
which food. drink or clothing can be
made. He insists that Egyptian cot
ton, coffee, rubber. bananas. tea, cocoa,
rice. hops, macaron and dates can all
be stricken off the list of our imports
and be raised on our own soil. But
how shall we increase our trade with
the countries that produce these things
II we stop buying anything from them?
We now pay TO tropical nations about
5000 100000 a year for their natural
products. And If they don't sell their
goods they can't buy ours"
The New Orleans Picayune Dem)
says: THE news is that the Republican
politicians are already turning against
Roosevelt and drifting towards Senator
Hanna. as the friend and proper sue
cessor of the lamented Mckinley.
President Roosevelt is thoroughly hon
est; but Mr.. Cleveland's experience
proved that honesty counts for moth

Lady md Ghost.

In a recently published volume,
Dreams and Their Meanings" the fol-
lowing story is told: "a certain lady
dreamed frequently of certain house
until it had become exceedingly IA
miliar to her. She knew all its rooms.
its furniture. 1t was as well known to
her as that in which she lived her
waking life, and, like a good wife that
has no secrets from her husband. she
often talked over the details with him
"a very pleasant fancy. One day hus~
band and wife went into the country
to see house that they thought of
taking for the summer months. They
had not seen it, but the account in
the house agents list had attracted
them. When they arrived before it
they gave a Simultaneous exclamation
OF surprise. Why said the husband,
1T is your dream house!' 1t was. The
coincidence attracted them. They took
the house.
I'm the course of their occupancy
they learned that the house had the
reputation of being haunted; that sew
eral people before them had taken il
for short terms, but had seen-or
fancied they had seen-'something, and
had left before their term of tenancy
expired. Had these new tenants not
brought their own old servants with
them it is likely they would have had
some difficulty in whipping up a do
mestic staff, so uncanny was the repu~
tation of their apparently quite reput-
able house. The new tenants dwelt
in the house with all satisfaction and
peace through the summer months un-
til their term of tenancy came TO an
end On leaving, husband and wife ex-
pressed their satisfaction to the local
agent. The only thing, said the wife,
that we were disappointed in about
the house is that we never saw the
ghost
"Oh, no. said the ghost agent. We
knew you would not see the ghost
What do you mean? asked the wife,
rather nettled.
oh the agent repeated, we knew
you would not see the ghost. You are
the ghost that people have always seen
here"

THE WELL-TO-DO WHITE BOY.


1t is we'll known fact that the sup
ply of clerks, bookkeepers, agents and
the like is much larger than the de-
mand. A want ad" in a daily news
paper for a person to fill one of these
positions will call forth a deluge of
applications. But-the opposite is true
with respect to technically skilled arti-
sans. The supply is not equal to the
demand, and it frequently occurs that
Georgia must send to Massachusetts
or elsewhere for men to construct or
superintend her mills or manage her
mines. What is the reason for this
state of affairs? President Lyman Hall
of the Georgia School of Technology
writes an interesting letter to the Con-
stitution on the subject. He takes the
ground that there is something wrong
with our system of teaching the WELL
TODD white boys of the state.
AS between the poor white boy and
the well-to-do white boy, President
Hall thinks the advantage is with the
former, under present circumstances.
The poor boy has good health, few
wants and self-reliance. He is not
too proud to soil his hands with work
and ne has sufficient confidence IN him
self to push his opportunities. He does
not become a burden upon the COM
munity, because he is a worker and
is not ashamed of hes task. The we'll
to-do boy. however, is more than apt
to be somewhat delicate, as compared
with his poor relative. He has been
brought up to wear fine clothes, to
eat fine foods, and to depend upon
somebody else to supply them. He
has been educated rather as an orna-
ment to society than as a worker and
a producer. He has imbibed and be-
come saturated with a false notion of
his social position and it's dignity. He
regards manual labor as beneath him,
and unless he can get into one of the
already overcrowded learned profess
sions," he will consent to take no posi-
ton save that of a clerk, accountant,
or something of the sort, which he
vainly imagines carries with it more
social dignity than can be associated
with pair of oily overalls and ham,
mer. On account of the plentitude of
clerks their pay is relatively small. On
account of the scarcity of first-class
technically trained mechanics their pay
is relatively high. A young man COM
petent to set up and run a cotton mill
can command many times the salary
of one who can keep a neat and cor
rect set of books. An expert in the
manufacture of textiles can earn much
more money than an expert in the sell
ing of textiles over counter.
This matter of the education of their
sons ought to appeal powerfully to the
best judgment of parents. They owe
it to their sons to fit them in the best
possible manner for the realities of life
after the school days; to assist them
to develop the very highest earning
capacities possible; to make workers,
not drones, of them. 1t should be IN
stilled into the minds of the youths
that all honorable labor is dignified,
and that one man who builds, and adds
to the wealth and productiveness OF
the country, is of vastly greater benefit
to society than a dozen men who are
simply Ornaments"

The widow of an English army off,
Ger was visiting me with her son, a
charming little fellow about s wears
old, says a writer in Harpers. The
mother told me with pride how honor
able he was, how hig-minded, and that
she had never for an instant seen in
him indications of any traits that were
low or base.
The child was put to bed every night
at s. We dined at Z. I was sitting in
the drawing room one evening before
dinner. The room was dark, the doors
open, and my seat commanded a view
of both the stairway and the dining
room. The table was set, and in the
center was a dish Of tempting peaches
Presently there came to my ears the
patter of little bare feet, and a child
ish figure, clad in night gown. stole
down the stairs, through the hall. into
the dining-room, up to the table
Small fingers seized the topmost
peach from the dish, and the little fr-
ure turned and urotted away upstairs
again.

apprehension, there came again the
patter, patter o. little feet, and a
whtte-clad tigure stole down the stairs
through the hall. into the dining-room
up TO the table. Small fingers re-
placed the stolen peach lust where n
had been, and a stubborn little voice
muttered. Done again, old devll!"

The General Got the pillow.

Brig. Gen. James F. Smith, who was
the Governor for many months of the
Island of Negros in the Philippines,
and who is now a justice to the Su
preme Court of the Philippines, is IN
San Francisco on leave, says the Mem
phis Commercial-Appeal. Gen. Smith
is lawyer and until the outbreak of
the Spanish War was not overly"
conspicuous. though he had a wide cir
Gle of friends, and was colonel of the
First Regiment of the California Ma
tional Guard.
Gen. Smith is a short. stout man,
with pug nose and a bald head, and
is one of the most intelligent, level
headed and courageous of Californians.
When California prepared to send
troops to the Philippines his regiment
was the first to go. He had long been
known as Fighting Jim Smith" be-
cause since his boyhood he had never
been known to turn the other cheek
or even to ''go way back and sit
down" when there was any chance of
scrap-and so, when the trouble broke
out, Californians were not slow to pre-
dict that YIN" Smith would get in
a few good ticks.
The First Regiment of California
volunteers went to Manila and made
a magnificent record. Gen. Smith LED
it in every engagement. The regular
officers learned to love him and respect
him, and it was not long before he
was made a brigadier general. His
knowledge of law and rare judicial
ability brought him the appointment
of supreme judge of the Philippines.
Gen. Smith is a member of the Press
Club of San Francisco, and 1.-THE Com
mercial' correspondent was talking to
him the other night about his expert
ences in warfare. When the general
was asked what he considered the
most crucial moment of his life as a
soldier. he said:
Shortly after the occupation of Pc
dro Macate 1 discovered a hulking big
private carrying off what appeared to
be the only pillow in town. l was
tired out and coveted that pillow-so
l sent an orderly to capture it by
strategy or force of arms. Say, give
me that pillow for the general, won't
you? said the orderly.
The general be hanged!' said the
private. This pillow is for my captain
and me-
But you and your captain have full
heads of hair insinuated my orderly,
and the poor general is as bald as an
egg
g That's all right said the private
give the pillow to Scaldy JIM and
the captain and I'll sleep on the rocks.
And they did, too"
