Working the Crust.

From my window the other day,
writes a New Yorker, witnessed the
ingenuity of beggar. He evidently
had pocket filed with crusts, and
when no one was passing he threw one
Of them into my yard. Then he waited
for lady or gentleman who carried
stick or umbrella and, trembling, APP

cited was so great that he received a
nickel or two from many who heard
his plea.
