Who Is a Vagrant?

Homeless, ont of money, and out
of work, the law lay its heavy, re-
straining hand upon him as a men
ace to the community. The charge
was vagrancy, being without WISH
bic means of support. which is &C
counted more or less of a crime. He
had been in this idle, penniless, and
homeless condition so long that his
clothes were ragged. his hair IN
kempt, his beard unshorn, and his
hands dingy with the dirt and dust
he had no means for removing. He
could make no defense that had any
standing in court, and he was given
a chance to labor for his room and
board-a room that you couldn't be
paid 10 occupy, and board that only
starvation would make you relish.
When he had thus been fed and
housed for the stated period of time
he was sent out into the world
again as penniless, as homeless. and
as idle as at first, but with the ad-
ditional handicap of having been a
''jailbird," having something he
must conceal and being in constant
fear of exposure.
A policeman in New York, the
other day, arrested a man, whom ne
had noticed for some time as a veri-
table street lOafer. His hair was un-
kempt, his beard unshorn, his cloth
ing frayed. Hailed to court, a trans
formation took place. The prisoner
denied that he was a vagrant, as
serted his right to be n street loaf
er, if he desired, displaying a bank
book showing that he had $4,000 on
deposit. The policeman was dunn
founded and chagrined, and the
magistrate apologized to the pris-
oner and reprimanded the officer.
The man returned to his idle, use
less life.
Which was the real vagrant-the
man forced to a life of penury and
want by circumstances or the man
who followed by choice a life of
