Moscow's Heasars.

OF the beggars SO characteristic of
Russia's ancient capital writer says:
1.-THE old city Of Moscow could not
easily be ASSOCIATED from the $4,000
beggars who haunt its streets. The
city belongs to them. II the city rats
own the drains, they own the streets.
They are part Of the city; they are in
perfect harmony with 1t. Take away
the beggars and you destroy something
vital. Some are so old and weather
battered that they make the Kremlin
itself look older, and of those who lie
at the monastery doors some are SO
fearfully pitiable in their decrepitude
that they lend power to the churches"
