got some of the money, but his free hand
moment In one hand he held nearly
pint Of small silver pieces. With the
other he grasped the wrist Of my hand
that had the rest of the coin.
''Drop that dough-" he said, adding a
few choice epithets by way of emphasis,
''or I'll kick your head off,
"Let go of me or I'll smash you one

last thing do, and then turn you over
to that cop across the street. was my
reply.
He dropped my wrist as IL it had been
a live coal, thus confirming my suspicion
that he was of the criminal class. afraid
of policeman, and / got safely away
before he discovered that there wasn't

l had the satisfaction Of seeing my

All large cities are afflicted with the
beggar plague, and most Of them prove
fertile fields for the men who live on
the labor of others. New York has been
termed the "Beggars' Paradise" and Chi
cago is said by some members Of the fra
ternity to be the easiest city In the world
In which to live without work.
1t would surprise you to know, per-
haps, that the average professional beg
gar Is a very close reader of the papers.
He has to be-. Competition Is keen and
progress rapid In the underwaks of life,
as we'll as in the upper realms of busi-
ness, and the man with the newest yarn
and the most plausible tale Is the man
who brings in the biggest pile at night.
The old stories about losing a wife and
child by pneumonia are worn threadbare,
and will hardly bring the user In enough
for bed. To be good beggar man
must not only be well up to date; he
must be more up to date than his fellow
craftsman. Thus 1t was that after the
Chicago beef-packing scandals the coun-
try was flooded with men who lost
the use of one or two or several limbs
as the result of abuses and injuries
suffered In the Chicago packing houses.
Then it was the San Francisco earth
quake, and survivors were blowing into
Eastern cities asking for help three
months after the terrible disaster Every
big railroad wreck gives some enterpris-
ing hobo chance to work the sympa-
thetic housewives In the neighhoring
towns, and a powder mill explosion, In
which every man within 100 yards was
killed, furnished no less than "a survivors.
The newest racket is the automobile

staggers into farmyard and tells heart
rending tale about being run down by an
automebilist who never even stopped to
inquire how badly he had been hurt. The

asked him where he hailed from, replied,

Well" said the Judge, "Great Britain
helped us in the Spanish-American War
with her sympathy. and | guess l don't
feel so badly towards Canadians as
used to. You can go; get out of town."
1t was hard to tell which was the most
amusing, the expressive wink Of the
Judge or the downcast counteDance of
the tramp.
In FIVE minutes the latter was back.
"Where did you get that fellow, Cas-
sidy?" asked the Judge of the policeman
who had brought him in? I Just let him

Sure, Judge" said Cassidy, 'he just
fired stone through window of the
saloon across the street"
Sixty days. said the Judge, The
tramp had won.
The pauper that gives the authorities
the greatest amount of trouble is the
pauper In order to make n livelihood.
These fellows are usually the most vici-
GUS of their class, and will seldom hesi-
tate at crime About nine months Of the
year they beg and steal-the other three
they recuperate their bodies and their
wits In some convenient almshouse, Jail
or penitentiary. AS opposed to these are
the professional beggars, who are differ
ent only In that they escape the real
pauper class by never going to an aims
house, and by being generally honest
IL getting aims by means of trumped-up
stories and fake injuries can be called

While making a study of the pauper
and beggar question l had occasion to
watch street man working his gag"
at the intersection of two big thorough
fares in large city. AS each man came
along he would slide up to him, Sand in
a wheedling tone ask for quarter for a
bed. One man gave him a nickel.
"Well, you're a cheap guy all right"
he commented, but kept the coin,
Anxious to learn whether he belonged
to the criminal pauper or only the beg
gar class, 1 approached him. He began
to slide up to me, but ! beat him to 1t,
as the saying goes, and before he had a
chance to begin his appeal ] said in my
most insinuating tone:
"Give us a dime for bed, Gull"
"He sized me up with sidelong glance,
and my makeup must have lacked some
characteristic of the beggar masonry.
''You think you're pretty smart guy,
don't your" he said. "And maybe you
think l amt got the price of bed to
give you. Put your peppers on this"
suiting his action to the word, he pulled
from his pocket handful of coins that
would have done credit to street car
conductors change bag. grabbed. /

the police force In large cities are thor
oughly familiar with the efforts of tramps
to get locked up as fall wanes into win
ter, and many a big copper has the
laugh on some shivering hobo when he re-
fuses to take him in.
Old Tom King, of Buffalo, for 20 years
a police justice and himself picturesque
figure, knew these tramps of old. When
the wind from the lakes ratified the win
dows of the dingy police courtroom and
the red-faced men from Off the beat would
begin to haul in the dirty and ragged
specimens of humanity he would remark,
addressing the policeman by name, 1.-THE
snowbirds beginning to flock. hey, BillF'
Eyes Your Honor" would Bill reply.
Then Judge" King would look the
tramp all over.

ask.

send you to the penitentlary, where you

"Well, I amt goin' to do It," This lat

And the tramp generally got.
Judge Kings usual punishment was TO
order this class of pauper out of town.
He appeared adamant, but like all men,
there was weak point In his armor.
The Judge, 1t seems, had once suffered
an unpleasant experience in Toronto,
Los Angeles herald., 1907-05-05

- HE American pauper is probably the
ri oueerest combination ON earth. He Is
amixture of thrift and laziness, only
eoualed by that of the New England
farmer who spent three hours looking for
the trained family dog In order that the
beast might save him the labor of carry
ing a small package half a mile.
A well-known student of economic ques-
tions and conditions is authority for the
assertion that nearly three-fourths of the
paupers in America today are such through
some fault of their own. Every locality
has Its characters that go to the county
poorhouse every fall, living life Of ease
and luxury during the winter months,
only to disappear In spring, when they
could partially compensate the common
wealth for their winters lodging by work
ing in the fields that surround nearly
every such an Institution.
Specifically, pauper Is destitute per-
son entitled to receive aid under the law.
Generally speaking, however. the term
pauper has been stretched to take In all
that numerous class who live by their
wits and are not criminals The beggar
who spends three or four months of the
year In a prison or penitentiary as a
tramp is just as much a pauper In the
general sense as the deserted wife and
child, who are left a charge upon the
commonwealth by some drunken sot of
husband and father. 1t is in the broader
sense of the word, then, that this article is
written, partially because it enables the
writer to cover the topic in a more com
prehensive way and partly because the
real picturesque figures In pauperdom are
found among the individuals who do not
come under the classification In its strict
est sense.
If the average pauper spent the same
amount of time and energy improving
himself that he does in inyenting means
to live without work he would occupy
one of those plnnacles Of fame toward
which ordinary mortals but gaze with un-
satisfied longing. In the summer months
life without work is comparatively easy
to find, but In the cold Of drear winter
this life of ease does not exist outside of
the walls of the nations penal institu-
tions. Police reporters and members Of

The historic Ship house and a part
of the johnson homestead on German
town avenue north Of Washington lane
have been sold to James J. Allen, a
builder. Workmen will start to raze
the once famous hostelry, which has
stood for more than a century. Mr..
Allen will preserve the old stone cary
ing Of a ship which was built in the
gable end of the house and gave the
place Its name. This will be presented
to one of the historical societies
These properties bear marks of bull
lets fired during the revolutionary war,
the battle of Germantown having been
fought there. The johnson homestead
has been In the family possession since
the time of William Penn, from whom
they hold the original grant. The Ship
house has seen many changes of own
ership. One of the earliest owners was
Captain Darien, IN old skipper, who
placed the carving of the ship in posi-.
ton. When Captain Darien died the
heirs sold the place to Jacob Peters
who conducted a line Of stage coaches
and made this stopping place. When
Peters died the place was sold to Jas
Ford, who opened a private school
there. He died and the heirs contem.

asylum. The Bockius family owned
the adjoining property and objected. Sc
were compelled to buy the place. II
