a man comes up to me and says he is
hard up and hasn't cent to buy food
with, and he wants to sell me this
watch for SO. I knew could get 81
on it in pawn, and I felt sorry for hin,
and bought the watch for So and
pawned it for 81. That's how l got

bought the watch for So, knowing he
could pawn it for 81, simply to help
the man along because he felt sorry
| for him, why he did not advise him to
pawn it himself and then he would

Lisbon. Feb. 7.-An Portugal awaits the coming of the morrow and the final rendering of homage to the dead king and crown prince. Everything is in readiness for the march from the nor tuary chapel where the bodies lie all most completely covered with flowers through two miles of troop-lined streets to the Church of San Vincente. where the solemn requiem of the Ro- man church will be celebrated. Every hour during the day masses were said at altars in the palace chapel and ac- cording to tradition, the priests pray ed before the caskets. sprinkled them with holy water and burned incense.
 The principal mass of the day was celebrated by the papal diplomatic Nuncio. IL was attended by King Manuel and Queen Amelie. members of the diplomatic corps in uniform and gentlemen and ladies of the court. Af- ter the service all who attended viewed the bodies of the monarch and his son.
 The public was not admitted to the chapel The number of floral tributes received at the chapel is unprecedent- ed In ever instance two are sent, one for the bier of King Carlos the other for that of the crown prince. Added to those the queen ordered every blos- som plucked from the famous Gintra gardens, and the inside of the chapel is literally banked with flowers and the floor is covered to a depth of ten inches. some of the offerings were so large as to require four men to carry them.
 So many carriages will be required to convey the floral tributes that pri- vate persons are finding difficulty in engaging vehicles for use in the cor Tege.
