he was told to draw $40 from the Of

social study, the needy mans valuation

he had n task that was easy, but or
ganlzed charity would not, because Of
principle, encourage such indiscrimi-
nate giving and refused TO tell of any
one who was in extremity. Going
down to the Bowery, the reporter
questioned a policeman and was di-
rected to a certain tenement. When
he got there, the man had been dispOs-

the neighborhood After no success
with two other devices for discovering
man really in want 1t looked as

badly Off for the lack Of $40 and who
had views on the subject of prosperity
