New Year day when they would be unable to meet
their obligations The Western ideas which the Japa-
nese possessed had passed through several oriental
minds before they reached his own and he was I'M
able to defend them against the guild traditions.
Nothing more of the kind to be allowed, decided
the guild members but they conceded to the ambi-
tous disciple of the West certain amount OF per-
sona liberty He might hold his bargain sales, pro-
vided he notified the members OF the guild before
hand showing samples of the goods stating the prices
at which they would be sold and outlining IN detail
his plan of advertising This would enable all other
members of the guild to advertise similar bargain
sales nufying any attempt of the lnsurgent to get
more than his share of the trade Since then the
drv goods business of that city has followed its
eustomed course, undisturbed by removal sales in
voice sales, or the January white sale.
Every guild is very efficient machine and Is
equally able to discipline its members and to fight
battles for the good of the order
Nv friend, the head beggar, told me OF a very ef-
fective way in which his guild won fight Tor
what it believed to be Its rights. Sometime after he
had completed his arrangements for the monthly
contributions by the shopkeepers, few of them de-
cned to continue their assessments. The guild was
quite ready to meet just such emergency and a
beggars' strike resulted i'll which the usual strike
conditions were reversed Instead of begging on
only two days of the month"; they begged on every
day. early and late, disturbing the city with such
loud waings and making themselves generally
disagreeable that pressure brought on the stub
born shopkeepers and peace restored with the re-
sumption of the semi-monthly contributions.
QEGGARS have more standing IN China than
- they have in America, but Chinese would
think of questioning their right to organize. Even
the thieves have their guilds, and when was last in
the Tung Ting Lake region, two guilds of pirates,
under red and the other under black flag, were
fighting for the monopoly of piracy the lake.
Probably the greatest reason why China is so slow
about abandoning the useless and ridiculous queue,
is because of the determined opposition of the barber
guilds of the strongest organizations of the kind
in China. The cutting of queues has been Off
ciallv sanctioned many times but some of the g.
officials who sanctioned it have not had the "
courage TO follow the reform they approve. be- N

sensible thing and took me to the head beggar.
He was very intelligent and capable old man,
with venerable grey queue. and while answering
my questions about the flood he told great deal
about the profession of begging il is conducted III
China He had been chosen for his office by all the
beggars of the city and became their autoerae head,
acting as their business manager and official repre-
sentative in all dealings with the police and trades
people Here. as in most other Chinese cities. beg
ging has been thoroughly systematized The beggars
are apportioned between the streets under separate
chiefs and all are under the control of the head
beggar. No beggar is allowed off his own street In
his professional capacity, nor can he beg there ex-
cept on the first and the fifteenth day of each month
This arrangement made by the head beggar after
many conferences with the merchant guilds. and he
is very proud of his achievement it enables his
people to loaf all except two days of the month,
and gives the least amount of annoyance TO the shop
keepers. On the appointed days. the beggars, IN
company. canvass their street. and the proprietor of
each shop gives their chief the money to be divided
between them The amount given depends on the
size &c the shop according 10 Wei regulated scale.
I T was because of this admirable arrangement that
! the head beggar SO keenly interested IN the
flood and so well able TO give me the details for which

sending the refugees Seurrying toward the larger
cities for shelter and food They eneamped in
large numbers just outside the city gates, while many
of them had entered and in the city itself, de-
failing TO every passer the story of their msfortunes
and threatening to die the spot unless aid were
forthcoming. This the head beggar naturally re
sented and he grew very indignant he told Of the
way in which these unorganized, nonunion beggars.
were playing havoc with his own organization.
