every year traverses this country sfrom Maine to California, beating it's Fway on the railroads and preying up- on large cities and small villages alike. Something is seriously wrong with social system that encourages or at least tolerates so fragrant an evil as this. but it is not the scope of this paper to go into the complicat- ed quesion of causes with it's discus sions of badly adjusted industrial system, of the lack of proper state care for the defective classes, of the slack enforcement of the railroad laws and so on. What I desire to do is merely to discuss briefly the question of professional begging in this town as l have seen it from the office of the Associated Charities and to suggest a few practical remedies.
 Beggars are Chased.
 After little experience with tra- yelling beggars you find that they can be divided pretty accurately in sever- al classes. First there is the able
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1914-03-08

given cent without careful investi- gation. With some of them merely to announce that you will telegraph and investigate is enough to call their bluff With others who have started heedlessly on their journey a telegram reveals the fact that rela- tives are either unwilling or unable to care for them, and another plan must be adopted. Many, of course, it is advisable to send on after investi- gation. Indiscriminate giving to this class is a dangerous thing as will readily be seen.
 "A considerable percentage of them is worthy, however, but when we come to the next class we find that none are. These are the fakes, the cleverest of all and the one who most thoroughly talk in the public.
 '"Pine Bluff has had it's full share this winter. Some of you may remem- Der the deaf and dumb boy wno circulated a petition signed Curtis Moore.' He had made quite a nice little sum before he was reported to US as suspicious, and by us to the police. It took fiv e days in ail to make him talk, but he finally came around and was proven to have criminal recofd, as in the case with
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1914-03-08

the majority of these fakes. There have been several other deaf mutes here as well as cripples,' who parted with their crutches at the police stat tion; fake blind men, deformed peo- pie whom the city physician managed to straighten out, and even some who had used acid to make temporary sores on their skins, and had gotten money on this loathsome evidence of disease. Most of them came here in the wake of circuses and fairs, and almost all had extracted some money
 from a too gullible public before be- ing caught. The only way to rid your town of this type of parasite is to make it unprofitable for them

There's Some Real Ones.

'Not all the afflicted people that beg are fakes, of course, in the sense they are pretending ailments they do not have, but they are as bad as fakes for this reason, these people who are mained and blind and the ev- en form by far the largest class of the begging population and I will venture to say that nine out of every ten are using their deformies as working capital, making such good thing out of it that they would not settle down and be cared for respectfully given a chance. A blind man came to Pine Bluff with his daughter, a sixteen year-old girl and little son of twelve. They did most of his begging for him. We got them all into the office and discovered that they had numerous relatives back in Illinois with whom the children had had a good home un- til he took them on the road, further more, that he was eligible to a blind pension of ten dollars a month in his county and had $70 in cash with him. The officers escorted them to the train and bought tickets home for them out of their own money.
 Some of the people peddle small articles, but novelty use this to cover outright begging. Others show cards, petitions and so on. Once and while you find one who is really unfortun- ate. and forced to beg for living. We have such one staying in the poorhouse now whose sight was tenn porarily destroyed and who is recov- ering rapidly underskillful treatment. A worthy beggar like him, however, is rare in this class.
 Perhaps enough has been said to show the necessity for careful inves- tigation in all cases of professional

Owe Word to Saint.

To St. Etheldreda we owe the word "tawdry." The saint knew no such word. but the origin of it is clear enough. For St. EtheldreGa was pop ularly known as St. Audry and at &. Audry's fai1 were sold St. Audrey faces, which in process of time became clipped into "tawdry laces." Finally the new adjective was applied to any fnery of similar grade. The part played by the "t" in "saint" is exactly that which has given us Tooley street from St Olaf.-London Chronicle.

Throw Away Your
 Eyeglasses
A Free Prescription
You Can Have Filled and Use at
 Home.

Home.
 Do you wear glasses? Are you a victim of eye-strain or other eye weaknesses? If so, you will be glad to know that there is real hope for you. Many whose eyes were failing, say they have had their eyes restored through the principle of this wonder full free prescription. One man says, after trying it: q was almost blind; could not see to read at all. Now 1 can read everything without any glasses and my eyes do not water any more. At night they would pain dreadfully; now they feel fine all the time. 1t was like a miracle to me. A lady who used it says: 'The atmos- phere seemed hay with or without glasses, but after using this prescrip- tion for fifteen days everything seems clear I can even read fine print without glasses" It is believed that thousands who wear glasses can now discard them in a reasonable time and multitudes more will be able to strengthen their eyes so as to be spared the trouble and expense of ever getting glasses. Eye trouble of many descriptions may be wonderfully bene- fitted by following the simple rules. Here is the prescription: Go to any active drug store and get bottle of Optona Fill two-ounce bottle with warm water, drop in one Optona tab let and allow to dissolve. With this liquid, bathe the eyes two to four times daily. You should notice your ;oJ,% the start and inflammation will quick ly disappear If your eyes are both ering you, even a little, take steps to save them now before it is too late Many hopelessly blind might have been saved if they had cared for their eyes in time.

(Secretary Associated Charities)
 ''In the last month or two the beg gars have certainly come to town" in numbers, some in rags, some in tags" and even once and awhile in a "velvet gown" From December until April or May is "beggars season" and every town in the United States re- ceives it's quota of ''hoboes" and "fakes," wandering drunkards and "dore" fiends, adventuresses and "confidence men," and hordes of the halt, mained and blind.

bodied "hobo," whose reason for being one is either that he is too lazy to work at all and finds it easier to live off of the public or that he is addicted to "sprees," acts of dishon- esty and so on which incapacitate him from holding a job when he has one. or simply, as one frankly admitted to me the other day, that he has a roy- ing disposition and likes to see the world. This type of beggar is kept alive by the handouts of soft hearted people to whom he tells his hard-luck yarns. Stricter enforce ment of railroad laws and more jail sentences for vagrancy are the only good remedies for him. But in the people everywhere could help the situation by exercising more common sense in giving and either turning him down altogether in favor of charity office where he will be promptly put to work for his meals, or making the personal rule of no work, no hand-out.
 As to Transient.

The plan of some members to break
the deadlock in the Aldermanic Board
by having Mayor Woodward cast the
deciding vote was forestalled by a
ruling by City Attorney Mayson.
Old Law Repealed.
He said there once was a law CIV
ing the Mayor authority to break a
tie in the Aldermanic Board, but that
it had been repealed.
Alderman John S. Gambler was too
i'll to attend the meeting Thursday
afternoon and the vote in the Alder
manic Board on the budget was four
to four, which meant that the dead
lock held.
Vigorous efforts are being made by
a number of officials to reach an i'm
mediate agreement. The leaders Of
both factions are talking compromise,
but when it comes to the issue they
refuse to act.
