the end that by united effort, the
production and price Of cotton may
be so regulated that the farmer
reed never sell his cotton for less
than 10 cents. Reduction OF acre
age and liberalization were strong
ly urged. especially the raising OF
corn and other food and feed crops
to supply the demand without the
eternal drain on the cosntry in
buying corn.

/ ing Of cotton and the great loss
sustained was forcibly presented

Southern farmers are the most in
telligent in the world today many
Of them will still persist in storing
an so cent bale Of hay in a barn

"This is the residence Of J. Pierpont
Morgan. The house is on fire. Send
an engine ut once. This is Herbert l..
Satterlee, Mr.. N%organ's son-in-law,
talking"
There was unusual excitement at fire
headquarters recently when tho tele-
phone rang and the foregoing words
came over the wire.
The engine was sent, and no team
W made a quicker III When the
iremen arrived at 219 Madison avenue,
the home of the multi-millionaire, they
found Mr.. Satterlee in the doorway.
The only sign of fire was a slender
sheet of flame shooting out of the
chimney.
For heavens sake, do not use any
water" MI. Satterlee begged. you
will ruin irreplaceable paintings if you
do. The fire is in the chimney. But
please be quick"
The firemen yielded to Mr.. Satter-
lees request, and used hand %grenades
instead of the hose. They found Po-
liceman Daniel Kelleher on the roof.
He had almost extinguished the fire
by throwing salt down the chimney.
The fire caused nc damage.

During the year a new administra-
ton building has been constructed, and
a large addition to the hospital has

jected. The plans for the new hall
call for an imposing building of white
marble, rock-faced. to conform in style
of architecture with the Scott building.
According to last report of Gen. II.
Hawkins, governor of the Home, there

Maintenance of a Great institution
Through Compulsory Contributions
of Men of the Regular Army.-HaS
Beautiful Grounds.
The National Soldiers Home in the
District of Columbia is the only insti-
tuition of its kind in the United States.
The home was founded March 3, 1851.
The idea of the ablishment is said
to have originated with General Win
field Scott, after whom the main build
ing of the Home is named, and of
whom there is a fine bronze statue in
the grounds. During the occupation of
Mexico General Scott eXacted a sum of
money from that country. The money
was paid to him, and he asked Con-
gress that it be set aside for the estab-
lishment at Washington of a home for
disabled enlisted men of the regular
navy and army. This was done. The
Home is maintained by exacting from
every enlisted man and officer II IL
cents from each months pay. Fines
from court martial and money due
deserters is turned into this fund. I'm
provements at the Home are contem-
plated. which call for the expenditure
of over one million dollars. The Home
has on deposit in the Treasury of the
United States a fund of more than two
million dollars. 1t should be borne IN
mind that the Government of the
United States does not contribute u
dollar to the support of this great in
tuition.
No women are employed at the
Home excepting those in the corps Of
trained nurses in the Home hospital.
Much of the work at the home, farm
work, dairying, gardening. road main
tenance, homework. cooking, waiting
on table, etc, is done by the inmates,
who are paid for their services out Of
the Home fund.
There are about 1900 veterans in the
institution. Many Of them are civil
war soldiers. some were disabled in
the West Indies, others in the Philip
pines, some in the Indian campaigns,
and some were discharged from the
service for disability incurred in camp
and garrison. Many of the Home
inmates are mere youths. Every hon

THE BEGGAR TRUST.
REGULARL YORGANLZED FOR THE
PURPOSE OF MULCTING The
PUBLIC.

Ingenious Make-Ups and Cruel Devil
e Practiced-ArreSt Made and the
Principals Sent to PriSOn.-FamOus
Orient Beggar.
AS old as is civilization, so old is the
history of the beggar kingdom, for
wherever have been found any collec-
ton of men, the beggarS there played
their business despite indifference and
the scorn of the majority, yet always
reaping their harvest from the philan-
thropic. The nearer one draws to the
warmer countries more and more nu-
merous one finds the professional beg
gar. Egypt, India and Italy are the
worst examples. In countries which
boast of their higher civilization beg
gary flourisheS not through want or
privation, but through a ciass of peo-
pie who make beggary their profes.
sion and who have made a n art of
the methods of reaching the soft
hearted. And beggars of this class do
not seem to stop at criminality.
A recent case was noted in press
dispatches of unusual brutality prac-
ticed by a beggar upon three children
In Austria who had been kidnapped
from their parents. The children told
a terrible tale of suffering AT the hands
of the beggar who had broken their
legs in two places and then twisted
the limbs out of shape, so that in
knitting together Tie bones would not
set straight. The man sent the chill
dren IA to beg for him and their pitt
ful condlIon made compassionate peo-
PIE give large sums because of their
apparent misery.
Fake Deformities.
While a number Of the beggars
found in large ~,ies are really de-
formed-blind, lame, MANNED, crippled,
or deaf and dumb, yet it is Il known
fact to the police authorities that there
are establishments where idle, worth
less and lazy persons are readily man
ufactured into objects of charity. The
theme of n of the best of the Sher-
lock Holmes stories is a wonderfully
'made-up' beggar who fools the police

found to possess many possibilities of
happiness, which the markings spoiled
for passing ID.
Inspired with this idea of sending
out remembrance that might be null
tiplied four-fold a new set of cards
was given to Mrs. Alden by the Re-
corder's staff and these cards were at
once sent out. The thanks received
for them were SO pretty that an item
was made of them in the New York
Recorder. This caused further CORE
s~pondence and resulted in a club for
the exchange of friendly greetings.
The name of Chat" was at first
chosen for the column, but in time the
membership grew SO large that the
mo TO Good Cheer was adopted and
In 1896 the name of the society was
changed to the Sunshine" Society,
and its active members were to include
all who were DESTROYS of Frightening
life by word, thought or deed.
The growth of the Society has been
almost phenomenal. From the parent
society branches have sprung up until
every State in the Union is represent
ed with regularly enrolled presidents
and organizers.
When a State has ten branches, each
one consisting of at least ten members,
1t becomes entitled to a State presi-
dent. Besides the thousands of men,
bers in the United States, there are
fiourishing branches in England, ia
pan. India, France and Germany.

A Close Corporation Suit.

Following the example Of large cor
porations which form combines for
mutual protection and profit, there
was recently established In New York
a "beggar trust" through the efforts of
a o~ne-legged youth who had left a
comfortable home to engage deliber-
ately in begging. His remarkable In
sight into business methods would
probably have reaped him a greater
reward than was derived through beg
gary. Organizing a community of in
terest among the mendicants of Park
Row, he picked out favorable points
throughout the city to which were as
signed certain men. A lame youth
would be placed at one point, a blind
n there and a badly-scalded mendi-
cant at another. That these beggars
might not be molested in their work,

generous public. These earnings were
placed in a large pool, part of which
was used in payment for legal repre-
sentation when one Of the trust"
might be arrested. At one time there
were thirty men in the corporation,
but the police OF New York gradually
got one by one of the members into
the tolls of the law and the trust"
was broken I'D.
