THE WOOING OF
A HYPNOTIST ~
BY ELLIOTT FLOWER.
copyrighted BY Daily story Pub. Coz

Tt CAME to her as an inspiration.
He had taken seat at n distance
of about six feet from her, rs was his
invariable custom when he called. and
his innate bashfulness and difIideuce
had made his conversation just about
as uninteresting as usual. He knew
why he was there and she knew why he
was there; he knew why he called
with such regularity, and she also
knew it; but he failed TO put the rea-
son in words. and OF course it would
have ben unmaidenly for her 20 do it.
He was awkward and ill-at-ease, but
nevertheless from social and world
ly point Of view he was distinctly eel
igible." II their positions had been
reversed, it would have been all over
In FIVE minutes, but, as it was, all her
efforts TO give him the encouragement
and confidence necessary had been
without result.
Then, as before stated, brilliant
Idea flashed upon her.
Are you at all interested in the
Subject OF hypnotism?" she asked.
"No," he replied, gratified that she
bad come to his rescue with a sub

street pianos. He rents them to his
less fortunate countrymen for a CON
sideration ranging from two dollars
per day up. The rate of rent depends
first upon the quality of the piano; the
more expensive hnd-and some of
them run well into the hundreds in
cost-bring more than the cheaper
ones, but another thing that is taken
into consideration in determining the
rent is the section of the city and the
streets upon which the piano is 10 be
operated. He has the whole civ d.
vided up into sections. and knows the
value of each section. The sections are
rated in value to the operator Of the
machine from seven dollars per day
up TO sos.
He told me the other day that almost
any halfway capable man with any old
kind OF a piano could take in at least
seven dollars day He told me at the
same time that he could point out to
me half a dozen men who would aver
age well up towards $25 per day when
permitted to operate in certain Sec
tions
But he is a firm believer in rotation
in office, and does not permit any one
man TO have good thing too long at
time. 1t would not be long before the
fellow owned a piano of his own if he
did.
Another man, the owner Of hand
organ and a trained monkey. told me
he had often collected as high as $50
per day, and he divided with nobody
but the old folks in Italy.

reasonable answer to my question he
brought his estimate down to from
5000 to 5000. "And they all make
good living at the business. and the
majority lay by something for rainy
days" he added
The occupation of begging is not mo-
nopolized by any one nationality, nor
by either sex. Men and women. Amer
lean and foreigner, are engaged at it
though in Justice to the women it
must be said that there are at least
three men TO one woman who ask for

Nor can we pick the women from any
one class. The lady who drives down
town in her private carriage to do her
shopping stops before the appealing
beggar and contributes to his relief;
the lady who rides to the business dis
trict on the street car or the train
with ten-dollar bill in her pocket

her poorer sister who must walk and
has perhaps but a dollar or so to spend
for her own and the children's necessi-

lives in Chicago or not, does not wish
TO be imposed upon. When he gives to
charity he wants to know that it is de-
serving charity, and he has not the
time to investigate the character and
financial condition of every street beg-
gar he meets. With his money he COL
lectively employs those whose bust
ness it is to do this for him, and so IL
is that he contributes, and contributes
literally, to organized charity. While
his wife may drop into the cap of the
blind man on the street corner a few
pennies, dime or quarter, he hands
his check for a hundred or five hundred
to the agent of the orphans home, the
fresh air sanitarium, the Salvation Ar
my or any other of hundred or more
organizations who make a business Of
charity and act as agents and directors
OF the business men who contribute
TO the wants of the needy through
them. They are the ones who. after
all, do the most good where it is most
needed.
These same business men do not dis
courage their women folks in making
the little contributions they do TO the
street beggars. One Of them told me
not long ago that he gave to each of
his two daughters $50 a year for
them 10 give away in this way, and he
demands of them an accounting of
what they do with it. Not that he is
afraid they will spend il for other pur-
poses, but in this way he encourages
some organized method in their giving.
