MEXICAN BEGGARS.
ATourIt' Ufa In Danger Unless Ho It
Liberal With His Tip..
"The beggars in the City of Mexi-
co lay over any mendicants to bo.
found in any country under tho
Bun" said tho representative ofnu.
English mining concern in that city.
"I have been a citizen of Mexi-
co's beautiful capital for about a
year and i am used to the ways of
its 'artful dodgers' but t woh a long"
time before I did become used to
them.
"On my arrival in the city I spent
several days sightseeing and the
City of Mexico is rich in .beautiful
places of public interest. Thp pleas-
ure was spoiled however by tho
hordo of hungry beggars who flock-
ed around me. One's life is literally
in danger unless one is willing to
toss out his coppers with a liberal
hand.
"One afternoon while visiting one
of the handsomest and oldest cathe-
drals of tho city I was persistently
followed by a lean and hungry
'guide' who insisted at every turn
upon pointing out to me in Spanish
things which I had already seen or
didn t want to see.
"T ordered him off several times
but he simply wouldn't go. He was
a typical Mexican beggar. Finally
I left the church and started to
walk away.
"When ho saw me about to slip
from his grasp he ran after me in
the street shouting tho only Eng-
lish words he knew I suppose
'Pay me! Pay me!' accompanied
by a flood of Spanish that might
have meant anything so far as I
knew then. N
"A crowd collected and it could
be seen that their sympatlues were
all with the mendicant. Finally in
desperation -and fearing I would bo
thrown into jail at the instigation
of the centavos loving wretch I
took to my heels and ran. I have
seen beggars in Spain and I "have
seen them in Italy but those in the
City of Mexico are at the 1iead of
the list." Washington Post.
He Was Busy.
A foppish young man who was a
patron of a boarding house on Park
avenue came into the parlor the
other day where the landlady was
entertaining some guests and said
"Would you pblige me madam
with a glass of water ?" His request
was granted. In a few minutes the
young man appeared again and
asked for "another glass of water.
Tho second request was granted.
Then the young man came again
and said "Pardon me madam for
troubling you. again but will you
kindly let mo have a pail of water
this time V
"Certainly Mr. Jones" replied
'the landlady. "I shall see that it is
secured for you. Would you liko to
meet some of my friends ?"
"I am very sorry Mrs Brown. I
have not the time. The fact is my.
room is on fire." New York Times.
Nice assortment of jelly glasses.

W. S. 0. Johnson will return

departure but all join in Wishing
