MEAL TICKETS AS Aims.

One Restaurant Keeper Who Doesn't LIKE
tho Latest Form Of Charity. = 80
New York Sun: When the man with
the new hat and the stylish overcoat
had closed the door behind him the
proprietor beat thoughtful tattoo on
his forehead with the tip of his pen
Gil.
Its strange why they've all picked
on me-" he said.
picked on you for what?" asked the
visitor. 4
ITO feed the hoboes." said the pro-
prietor. They're simply eating me
cut of house and home. used to have
nice run of customers here-not
tramp crossed the Threshold. But.
Lord! just look at 'em now
They swarm in In here by the doz-
how they do eat. There are no scraps
left when a hobo gets through, can
tell you.
The situation is really alarming.
and the worst of 1t is that don't know
now I'm going to help myself. 1 can't
shut off on the hobo trade without
offending the philanthropists who are
responsible for their coming here.
1T was an evil day for me when the
charitably inclined business men and
women downtown decided to give beg
gars meal tickets instead of money. So
long as the poor devils got currency
the chances We're ten to one in favor Of
their spending it at free-lunch coun-
ter, but now that they have to take
pasteboard equivalent for a meal I
am at their mercy.
That man that just went out is ono
of my greatest trials. He is what
might be called a strenuous member
of the benevolent order. He bought
four tickets today and four on Mon
day, and it will be just like him to buy
another batch tomorrow.
II asked him one day why he sent nll
his proteges to me, and he said he felt
sorry for them and wanted to make
sure when they did get chance to eat
,heir food was clean and wholesome.
He meant that as compliment to me,
] suppose, and / appreciate 1t after
II fashion; nevertheless 1 have half
notion to turn my restaurant into a
regular pen to correspond to the APP
pearance of the customers he sends
me; then maybe he'll direct them else
where"
Isn't it something new to bestow
aims in the form of meal ttckets?"
asked the visitor.
NO." replied the proprietor, "it is
not new, exactly. but 1t has never been
adopted as common practice until
the last few months. Men who give
LITERALLY now swear by meal tickets.
They say that they are much more
satisfactory than money. They re-
duce the chances of imposition to
minimum.
"If man is really hungry he will
regard the meal ticket as boon from
heaven. If he wants drink he will
have difficulty in disposing of the
ticket for cash. Occasionally. OF
course some scamp will auction off his
tickets among his brethren at a dis
count. but as rule meal tickets have
been found to be the most satisfactory
method so far devised for bestowing
charity upon the Migrants about town.
THE restaurant men in this neigh
borhood are the only ones that do not
enthuse over the scheme, but even we
don't dare kick. for one mans money
is as good as another's and we can't
afford to turn away trade"

11dwardsville, ILL.,, May 1.-Albert e.
Lee and Mrs. Lucida Lewis of East AL
ton, met for the first time in Judge
Cooks court, where each had q suit
pending for divorce, ON the grounds
of desertion. They occupied adjoining
seats in the court room.
Moved by Il feeling of common mis-
cry, Lee opened conversation With Mrs
Lewis, saying: our cases seem to be
Similar"
Lucida responded, Yes. my husband
deserted me seven years ago"
Albert added, HAD you ever thought
of getting married again?''
To which Lucinda responded, NO
OF course, but if the right man should
come along I would probably say yes
to his proposal.
Lees case was first disposed of and
soon afterwards Mrs. Lewis got her
decree. When she took her seat Lee
leaned over and whispered something
in her ear. Mrs. Lewis nodded her
head.
Attorney Glass, vino had charge Of
both cases, motioned the couple to fol-
low him to his office. On the way they
told him that they desired to be mar
ried.
The astonished attorney paused for
a moment and then said:
We'll If YOU mean it and believe
that neither of YOU will be back to me

The caravan that goes to Mecca each
year with the sacred camel. the sui
t.ns presents and the new carpet for
the prophets tomb had a rather bitter
experience this year, according to a
sonstantinople correspondent of the
CLEVELAND Plain Dealer. The annual
payment to the Mecca authorities Of
$4,000 was not forthcoming, and the
expedition was delayed. This year the
government was more impecunious
than usual. and the caravan had to
start with the promise that the money
would be forwarded to Beirut But
when the pilgrims arrival there the
money (without which they could not
proceed, as tribute must be paid to the
tribes on the road) had not been sent.
kilograms arrived at Constanlinople
begging for money. and tho govern

A COSTLY ARTICLE.

RIGGS Deportation.
Minneapolis Journal: One Of the
articles for which George T. Rice
was "first boated" to the United
States is published in recent is
sue of the Minnesota Signal. taken
from the Manila Daily Bulletin, of
which Rice was editor. 1t is under
date of November 49, and is as follows:
You are debarred from entering the
building by order of the captain
This Is the verbal order received
yesterday afternoon from Mr.. Taylor,
chief clerk at the captain Of the port,
by the editor of the Daily Bulletin We
are "debarred" from entering by the
captain OF the ports, on what grounds
and with what are we charged? Yester-
day morning the editor was called into
the office of the captain of the port and
asked, in roundabout way, to retract
what he said in the editorial of the is
sue dated the 14th. Because we would
not crawl to the tune of the captain OF
the port, and refused to forsake the
truth, we are "debarrcd' from enter
ing that building. Indeed! and under
what monarchy were laws of such a
nature instituted? Who owns the
building that man can be ordered GU.
for speaking the truth? Surely a gov
eminent of such boosted freedom as
ours would not issue such an order.
The Daily Bulletin is published for, and
supported by, the business men of Ma
nila. Therefore. If we speak the truth,
and the truth makes guilty ones UNI
easy, we speak 1t in the interest of
those from whom we gain our support.
The captain of the port may have the
almighty power to order us out of the
buildings In his charge by the govern
ment, but he has not the power to
stop US when we are in the right To

she stay and other queries about certain
