The Tragedy of Being Poor.

IL
In the summer. when the hot wind
sweeps the plain.
In the summer when the parched fields
gasp for rain,
When the sky above is brassy and the
sun.
Like a vessel from which molten metals
run,
Hangs o'erhead through days that never
seem to end,
They totter In the dusty streets and
sigh.
The children in their huddled novels
penned,
Lie crying out through shriyeled lips
and dry
In the summer, when the heat Is stiding,
Woe
Assumes a thousand shapes they must
endure,
TIL Death is kind enough to claim them
%,
The tragedy Of being poori
IL.
In the winter. when the plains are white
with snow,
In the winter, when the maddened bliz-
cards blow,
When the sky above IL leadeu and the
sun,
Like a weary slave, whose heavy task
Is done.
Shrinks out Of sight. as If TO steal a rest.
With faces plnched and blue they go
their ways;
The mother, with her babies on her
breast,
Beside the empty stove weeps through
the days:
In the winter, when the blasts are Icy,
Woe
Assumes a thousand shapes they must
endure,
Till Death Is kind enough to claim them
%,
The tragedy Of being poor!

Mr. McNatt,. spesch.-

Among the famous men of Vicksburg
before the war, one of the most promi-
nent was a Mr. McNutt Two qualities
marked Linn out as an Individual type.
The first was his personal eowardice.
Still more individual was his power of
setting aside in his own favor those
prejudlces of the public mind which
would have crushed any other man.
He was at one time candidate for
United States senator. The oppsing
candidate was General Quitman. In a
speech McNutt said: Fellow citizens,
| understand that General Qultman is
now In the eastern counties reviewing
his militia. and that he says when he
meets me he intends TO whip me. Now
| tell him at this faroff distance that II
he whips me 1t will be because he can
outrun me, for | have great horror
for the barbarous practice of personal
violence"
Such speech from any other man
would have won him the contempt of
his listeners, but 1t was McNutt, and
people laughed and applauded.-"Recol-

Hard Luck stories That Take the
Place of Open Begging.
The plain and open tapster who ac-
costs you in the street purely to beg
may generally be known by an amaz-
ing oyerpoliteness in opening the con-
yersation He is The only person l
know who begs pardon for taking the
liberty of speaking to you, and by this
sign you shall know him. They all be-
gin by begging pardon for taking this
not so very rare liberty. but only the
buffers go on straightway to tap. The
proficient tapsters approach the tap
sideways, so to speak. Something like
this, with a quick touch of the hat
brim:
BEG pardon, sir, I'm sure | 'umbly

liberty of speakin' to you in a public

day of the month, or somethlng)
You answer the question. but you
don't stop the stream of apologetics.

tapster. pouring out the words, "thank
you kindly, sir, If you'll so far pardon

1t is merely caution that marks his
guarded way, as they say in the lyric,
for If accused of begging by some
watchful policeman he can always

endless in variety. | give my solemn

Training Russian Policemen.

There is a policemen's college In ST
Petersburg TO train applicants for the
force. There is museum combined
with the school where the pupils make
themselves familiar with the tools OF
crimlnals-jimmies. drills. chisels and
contrivances for robbing collection
boxes, special field of Russian
thieves. The Russian passport system
is studied in detail. The duties of the
dvorniks, sort of assistant police, are
taught. They keep watch on the resi-
dences, report on the habits of tenants,
their visitors, examine the papers OF
newcomers and direct them to SPORT
themselves at the police station. The
members of such a clever and compli

women are making progress along

member OF the police force. "A recent
example shows that they are quite as

srs has heretofore been confined to Of
lenses of the daytime or of the early
part Of the night. But here comes a
story from Tennessee Of the arrest of
several women who belong to q gang Of
expert craeksmen, and who actually
took part In a safe blowing in a small
town near Nashville, where they
robbed bank and got S1.700.
women have often developed Into
expert forgers, as. for instance, In the
recent case Of an American woman
abroad, who succeeded In conducting
forgery scheme for a considerable
length Of time, and until she had
frauduientiy collected a vast sum Of
money. They make hlgh-class pick
pockets. and. In fact, infinitely more
successful In this line OF work than
men.
zone curious fact In this connection
despite the frequent announcements
publicly made of offenses of this kind
committed by women. men are never
on the lookout for the female pickpocket
unless they find themselves In ques-
tionable resort, or In bad company.
For this very reason women find 1t
much easier to pick a mans pocket.
They can get closer to men, too, with
out becoming offensive. and can lift the
diamond pin out Of his scarf, nip his
watch and chain or any other valuable
thing he may have before he will ever
dream OF anything wrong.
I'm that kind of pilfering. too. pc

and tumble over them, apparently for
the purpose Of inspection. he would at
once arouse the suspicion of every
clerk within visual range. On the
other hand. a woman may do exactly
the same thing without exciting the
least suspicion. 1t Is simply looked
upon as a matter of comparative ease
for the kleptomaniac.
But the woman safe blower Is a
new type. as far as my experience
goes. and I suppose 1t simply means
that the police of the country win soon
be confronted with many new problems
