The Ancient and Honorable
Beggars' Trust in China.
By Sam B. TrisseL.

l. My first experience with the Beg
CARS Guild-though | did not know it
at the time-was at Newchwang dur
ing the Russo-Japanese war. |, as
well as the rest of my brother war
correspondents who were stationed in
that place, was greatly bothered by
a gang Of most persistent beggars
So aggressive did they become in
their appeals that we held a council
of war and debated some means of
Kidding ourselves OF the curse. We
decided that we would single out one
man and make proposition to pay
him one Mexican dollar per diem on
condition that he would keep the rest
OF the bunch from us. We sought out
Jo-Jo, as we had learned to call him.
Jo-Jo was poor devil who was badly
bent and had great difficulty in walk
ing. Through one of the hotel SER
wants we told him what we wanted.
He agreed to the proposition, and it
worked like a charm-until Jo-Jo de-
manded raise of fifty cents day.
One morning In August-it was the
great Chinese holiday, the Festival Of
the Dragon-four of us correspondents
were at breakfast, when a visitor was
announced. We repaired to the hotel
sitting-room to meet our guest, whom
we thought might be Russian gener-
al. o. at least a colonel, who had come
to tell us that we were to be allowed
to depart for Mukden Immediately
Our surprise may probably be sur
mised-though | doubt it-when | say
that the visitor was none other than
old Jo-Jo. But we did not recognize
him at first. He was changed. His
hlthy rags had been discarded and he
was enwrapped in silks and satirs
His head had been looked after by a
barber. and his long queue was shiny
with oil. He was no longer bent, but
stood as straight as an arrow. When
he entered the room his face broke
into a smile and he held out his hand
to us. We did not ask for any ex-
plantations, but proceeded to hustle
him out into the street. Then we
sought our servant interpreter and
asked him to inquire of Jo-Jo the ma
ture OF his visit. We learned that
the fellow. who actually regarded him.
self as worthy and serviceable en-
ploye, had merely come on this Holt
day morning to pay his respects to his
employers. We did not know then
that we had an opportunity to enter
tain an official of the Beggars' Guild,
or we might have handled him with
more gentleness than we did.-Shang
