AMERICAN ARISToCRATS

The, philadelphia Inquirer asks.
"At such rates. what would we all
be paying per ton for coal? Fcm'

BEGGING is PROFITABLE

.As was the case during our civil
war, the present increase in popula-
ton has brought new faces of the
mendicant fraternity to u midst.
Most of this class appear here on
Saturdays. Some pretend to sell
nencils in order to attract the at
tention of passersby. while occa-
sionally others emit sick music
from. accordeons or the commone1
class of organs.
Begging. of all the nonwhite cell
lar jobs. is said to be the most IL
c~rative in New York. This was
demonstrated recently before Mag
!strate Steers when Arthur Harrison
26, who had been. arrested for
pleading for aid on the strength o.
a fake injury to an arm, admittea
that he had taken in S13 in o1e
hour.
"Let's see" said the court, "a
that rate. q union s hour day would
bring in S1Ol, or $4,000 a yea.
Rather a tidy income for g man WHO
does not work"
Arthur was given six months in
The p%enitentiary. where begging i
