GOES TO JAIL AFTER HE DIGS UP
$3.50, COLLECTED IN STREET,
FROM SHOE

New York, April 10-An aristocrattc
old gentleman, wearing perfectly tail
ored clothes, and swinging a gold
headed cane, stopped Pat Matthews on
Broadway, and without soliciting a
match or inquiry as what time it was,
asked for money to buy a meal. He
said that he had just been robbed of
5000 and didn't have a cent or a
friend in town.
Matthews gave the man a quarter
and watched him. Immediately afte!-
ward he saw the same old gentleman
get money from seven other people,
Matthews had the Immaculate beggar
arrested.
The prisoner said his name was Ed
ward Ennis and that he was begging
50 to get a ticket to Portland, Me.
But I've got other money" sad
Ennis. Taking off one of his patent
leather shoes he produced $97 in bills
and 90 cents in change from it's in
terror.
IF you needed only 50 to get to
Portland, what did you beg all the
other money for?" demanded the mag
istrate.
"Oh, that" explained the begga7
de luxe, as he toyed with his cane,
was so that | could buy a few pres
ents for my friends when I got there"
The magistrate said the friends
wouldn't get their presents for a month
anyhow, because he was going to send
him to the workhouse for that length
of time.
