THE BEGGAR'S LEGACY.
II Clothes a Number of Poor People In
England Annually.

IL Clothes Number OF Poor People IN
England Annually.
Gifts Of clothing are made annually
In many market towns and villages OF
Surrey to the poor from a hequest left
for the purpose by Henry Smith, or
Deg" Smith as he was more generally
called. having earned the sobriquet
from the fact chat he was never seen
without dog at his heels.
This remarkable character lived
about two and a half centuries ago and
was one OF the best known figures in
Surrey. He was originally a silver
smith In the city of London and, pros
perlng In business, acquired estates in
different parts of England.
Developing eccentricities as he grew
old, he adopted the life of beggar
His wanderings were confined almost
entirely to Surrey, and he is said to
have begged his way through every
town and village in the county. At his
death In 1851 he left all his wealth to
the market towns and parishes of Sur
rev, and the endowment enabled each
town TO spend $3.50 and each village
about $50 on the purchase of clothing
for its poor.
Mitcham, however, was excluded
from his benefactions, Smiths explana-
ton being that on one occasion the In
habitants of Mitcham whipped him
through the village as a common va
grant.-Londou Chronicle

Through Growth of Expensive Habits.
From The Superior telegram

From The Superior Telegram
The high cost OF living is known to
be due quite largely to the expensive
nature of the system under which the
purchasing is done. People who buy a
few cents worth at time, making
many deliveries necessary when one
would be enough, must pay for the ex-
ira work Some persons blame the
middleman for it all
If anything eaten or worn is followed
from the beginning to the final or ulti-
mate consumer il will be discovered
that il is handled by several persons,
something like a bucket brigade at a
rural FIRE
The question for the consumer is
where he is going to save by cutting
out the middleman and which of the
middlemen he is going to get rid of,
and when he has finished his study in
that direction he is apt to find that
pretty nearly all the saving he can eff
feet is in going to the market himself
and taking his goods home,
There is a great difference in price
between the original producer Of an
article and the ultimate consumer, but
it has grown up through the machinery
Of modern civilization and it is far
more difficult than most people imagine
to simplify that machinery.
