SERVED THEM JUST RIGHT.
Two Washers in Atlanta Got What
They Deserved.

Two would-be mashers in Atlanta,
Alonzo Drake and Arthur Hammer,
had their faces beaten into pulp
by the husky brother Of a young
shop-girl whom they had followed
home through the streets in the hope
of starting a Irritation. The two
boys dogged the girls footsteps for
several blocks, trying to engage her
in a conversation and went to the
very gate of her home.
She told her brother, a member OF
the local fire department, who hap
pened to be at home, and he imme-
diately rushed out, took the fellows,
one by one, before they realized what
was happening, and administered to
each a severe drubbing. By strange
coincidence the boys went into a
nearby engine house to wash the
blood from their faces.
The sympathetic firemen asked
them how they had been hurt, and
they said: "In a railroad wreck. :"
About that time the brother Of the
girl followed them in, told the true
story, and they were held there until
the police arrived when they were
sent to the station house.

Pietro Ficco, a shoemaker and anna
teur musician, had very great fond
ness for the phonograph.
He purchased a good many records
and occasionally sang into his own
phonograph and kept records of the
songs. He was taken seriously i'll. He
realized that he could not recover
and being poor man and unable to
get up much of funeral he request
ed that they use his phonograph to
furnish the music for the funeral ser
vices.
He picked out the "Angel's Seren-
ade" and Gounod's Ave Maria, y
sung by himself, and these were
used, and thus the dead man took
an important part at his own funeral
service. He instructed that his pho
nograph and u records, number of
them his own, should be sent to his
mother in Italy.-Christian Herald.

BEGGING AN ART.
In Jerusalem Books are Kept and
Shrewd Men Employed.

A curious account of the wealthy
organizations of $4,000 Jerusalem
0eggars is given in the Jerusalem
TRUTH" a weekly journal published
in English.
These beggars, it is said, thrive
and wax fat upon the systematic i'm
posture, practiced upon the benevo-
lent and simple-minded of every
country on the face of the globe. :"
They have made begging fine art
"a science-a perfect study; they
constantly invent new stratagems,
novel contrivances, and ingenious
tricks how to ensnare the credulous
into their traps" Their transactions
are conducted upon strictly business
lines, with we'll appointed offices,
double bookkeeping, copying presses
and typewriters.
The organizations employ we'll
paid agents who travel all over the
world collecting the names of all
who are likely to extend their SYM
pathies to the poor and suffering Of
the Holy City. Millions of addresses
are thus received, with minute dis
criptions of the nature of each in
dividual, so that the petitions may
be drawn up to touch the right chord
in the compassionate soul of the re-
cipient.
The petitions are generally accom-
panied by some paltry souvenir of
the Holy Land-dried flowers sup
posed to be gathered from the Mount
of Olives, Bethlehem or Gethsemane
or cheap olive wood articles purport-
ing to be from the branches of trees
growing in historic places. In re-
ality many of these articles are i'm
ported from Marseilles.
The nefarious business flourishes
in spite of all revelations and warn
ings and a large proportion of the
begging letters sent out are general
ly responded to, often with prayer
that in return the donor should be
remembered at the Wailing Wall,
Rachel's Tomb and Machpelah. It
is estimated that these beggars send
out about 50,000,000 letters a year.
