WORK Is THE SOLUTION.
A volume could be filled with stories

| haunts, for the theme Is weilnigh I'm
eXhaustible one must pass on to con-
slider how NJ. Georges Berry proposes
TO dispense this formidable army of
crime and misery. That idleness alone
begets the beggar the French deputy
Is convinced. But whether the vice In
innate or accidental the only means
to combat and suppress 1t is TO devise
n means of making the man work who
nj present finds it simpler and less irk-
some to hold out his hand for charity.
The present system of Furnishing the
beggar and vagabond by keeping him
a few months in prison. where he 10
well fed and housed, Is worse than
useless, NJ. Berry maintains. The fact
of his having been imprisoned once,
OF his having a police record, forces
him into the ranks Of the professional
Is closed TO him. However earnest
may be the accidental" beggars re-
solve to raise himself, he Is doomed
to failure i'm the present condition of

TO CREATE WORK COLONIES.
NJ. Berry proposes to leave the polics
court and police records TO criminals
and offenders and 10 create work colo
MES for all those who seek public char
ity. He would keep the beggar out OF
the police court altogether. He would
treat him more as a patient and thinks
his case should be dealt with by
juge de paiX. or magistrate. who would
parernully mete out the number of
months OF work necessary to cure him.
NJ. Berry's proposals are by no means
new They are based on the system
which has been for some years in force
In Belgium and which has given ex-
cellant results. His scheme may bo
briefly summarized as follows. Vaga-
bondage and mendicity are henceforth
to be considered as offenses and thu

my mother is a fortune teller, and l
am the Youngest of II children, all
boys. With the exception of my eld-
est brother we were all handed over
when quite young 10 a specialist doc

children in my village to be killed by
the torture they had to undergo. We
used to earn n lot of money. but Grip
pies have increased SO rapidly in Spain
of late years that we older ones de-
cided to emigrate to France. We have
only been here three days and our
takingS have been very good, put now
the police have decided to eXpel us"
AS a matter of fact, the very next
day the whole party of cripples. men
and women alike, were taken by the
police back to the Spanish frontier NJ
Berry adds that these cripples go In
couples. as man and wife. and doubt
less their wretched ofsprings are sub
iected to the same torture as they
themselves were.
SHAM FITS.
Another well known type of Paris
ian beggar is the man who shams an
epIleptic fit or st. Nitus' dance. Nj.
Berry tells his experience with a
young man who appeared to be al
flicted with the latter malady In It's
most distressing form. 1t was last
October in the Champs Elysees. the
poor fellow was painfully making his
way along, jumping now on one leg,
now on the other, his body being so
shaken by each movement that he
made that the Precipitation was pour
ing from his face. Finally he sank
upon a seat, quite exhausted.

two dormitOries, one for men and one
