GRAFT FOR THE PANHANDLER
He Is Making Charity Pay
Him Well.

4 brand new kind OF panhandler has
been developed by the European war.
He sails the ocean blue. He clusters
around the quays of Rotterdam and
Southampton, with bandages on his
head and on his arms and legs. He
shambles and shunts his way into the
steerage of the big liners going TO
America. And on the way over he
tells pitiahle stories OF the frightful
suffering the war has brought upon
him
He starts the telling of his harrow
ing tales in the steerage and tells
them necessarily, so that finally they
get to the ears of the steerage stew
ards, then to the ears OF the second
class. then to the first-class stewards
and presently the affluent passengers
OF the upper deck know the stories.
And these may be depended upon.
with their sympathies thus quickened,
TO look up the unfortunate and pour
lavish charity into his hands.
The feature of the story OF this
brand of panhandler that always calls
out the biggest flow of gold is when
they say they are coming to America
to try to build new homes and send
for families left half starving In their
wrecked native land, but that they
are without the wherewithal-the $50
OF cash necessary permit them to
be admitted to the new country. They
usually get about five times $50 from
the wealthy passengers.
