That Young
Man
By Carl Jenkins

Miss Dora Davis was working
among the 1owerbeds of her aunt's
display at Aspen villa The hour was
just after breakfast. and she wanted
to poke at something that would keep
her out of doors for an hour When
the gardner saw her 'poking" ne
swore few swear words under his
breath. but he dared not interfere
Miss Dora was her aunt's favorite,
and it might have cost him his place
to tell the young lady that she was
roofing out creeping Charlie instead
OF weeds.
There was some one coming down
the road. however, who had no fear of
losing his job through giving a few
words of friendly advice He was
about twenty-five years old. and his
suit showed thai he was visiting some
family near by. and his lazy gait that
he was also out to poke" He came
along and leaned on the fence for
three or four minutes and then said;
But you are pulling up all the
creeping Charlie. you know"
Miss Dora uttered a little scream of
surprise AMI Strengthened up He was
a young man. He had smile on his
face She had never seen him before.
How dared he come along and speak
to her-aye. even chde herr She
didn't know creeping Charlie from bur
dock but was that any of his bust
ness? And if she wanted to pull
every flower and plant up by the
roots would good Aunt Sarah have
chided her for it? For a long min
ute the girl looked straight into that
young mans face and then turned
away with a sniff. A girls sniff isn't
a 'humphl" and it isn't snort but 1t
is a sound of such Indifference and
contempt that it makes a young man
sit up and wonder If he is growing
baldheaded Walking into the house
with red cheeks and angry eyes. Miss
Dora asked:
Aunt Sarah. who is that young
man hanging around here?"
Young man? Why. | haven't seen
any Where Is he?"
Look out OF the window"
Why" said the aunt after taking
look. that must be the young man

Beesar Takes a Whlrl at coney Island

to His Old Corner.

New York.-Wall street has just lost
one of its most interesting and beat
known characters, and at the same
time is minus a hourishing business.
The character in question is known as
Blind Charley. and the business is
that of begging. by which he has ac-
cumulated a fortune Of more than
100000.
Kind-hearted brokers, fresh from a
successful turn in the market, have
been cheerful contributors to the bat
tered tin cup OF the blind beggar, and
so generous have been gifts that there
is apparently no reason why Blind
Charley should not have run his for
tune up to the halfmillion mark II he
had only used bit of discretion. The
trouble began when Charley started
out for Coney Island last week, all
dressed up. He looked about as much
like a beggar as Andrew Carnegie or
John d. Rockefeller might look II they
ever took II in their heads to give
Coney a whirl. The little boy who
led the way had on a new suit and a

Warsaw.-Foodpads who infest the

novel way Of robbing peasants carts
as they drive in laden with provisions.
The peasant drives while his wife
sits at the back Of the cart to keep
guard. The thieves jump onto the
cart, put their arms round the wom-
ans waist, kiss her and hustle her
of with endearing terms. on runs the
outraged husband to catch his wife.
Meanwhile the Don Juan's accom-
plices take away the provisions and
disappear into the forest.
When the peasant finally gets back
his wife he finds he has been robbed
of all but the cart. The trick is prac
ticed with great success.

Venice.-It always pays to scrape

found frescoes OF more or less value.
This is just what happened here in

What is, perhaps, more interesting
