POOR BEGGARS’ LIFE
Makes Study of Vagrant and
Becomes One Himself.
Albert Clutterbuck. Charged With Beg
g*ng. Is Sent to Prison—Writes
Book on Methods of Mendi
cants He Lived With.
London.—A document entitled "The
Life of a Beggar" was written in an
infirmary !>y Albert Clutterbuck, aged
23. who was charged with begging at
Maryleboue police court.
Par's of this, based on what the
man heard and saw while living in a
common lodging house, were rend
aloud by Mr. Paul Taylor, the rcagis
arate. who described the document as
"most Interesting.”
’ Of course most of you have heard
or know of Netting Dale, the home of
beggars. When a baby is born In this
noted district and gets to five or seven
years of age. it is taken out with
its mother and rather and taught the
way to beg. Its mother takes it in
her arms and goes and molests ladies
and gentlemen for means to buy the
hild some bread. Their bread' means
beer, and most people know that, but
they give to them to get rid of
them.
" ben the child has been learning
in this way for about six years, it is
sent out with about six pairs of laces,
or a few matches, and with these it
continually molests ladies and gentle
men and asks them to buy or give
a few coppers. It keeps going out
with these until about 16 or 17, and
then leaves home to get married. By
that time they know where to buy
their stock of ferns, flowers, laces and
matches, and where to borrow babies
etc."
A description followed of the beg
gars' homes and their weekly “feats,"
and the document then went on to de
scribe the beggars' summer holiday,
which. It said, wta the only time
when the beggar did any work. They
“went on the road” to Kent, begging
all the way, and after working for
three or four weeks at fruit picking
they drew their money, spent it at
the nearest public houae. and after
wards got a Job at hop picking with
their children. This over, they had
a good drink of beer and walked home
to their dens in Notting Dale, where
they spent the few shiliings they had
left with their chums. “As for buying
new clothes with it. you might as
well ask a brick wall to get out of
your way."
In sentencing the man to five days'
imprisonment, the magistrate said
that Clutterbuck had apparently made
such a study of vagrant life that he
i had become a vagrant himself.

GIRLS HESITATE AT HUGGING
Co-eds of California State University
Refuse to Fall Into Arms of
Chorus Men—Win Out.
Berkeley, Cal.—Seventeen co-eds ot
the senior class at the state university
broke up a rehearsal on the stage of
the Greek theater, declining to allow
male members of the class to put their
arms around them. The objection
of the senior girls followed an attempt
of Fred Carlisle, the coach, to have
the co-eds of the "Baby Doll" chorus
of "The Hop King." the commence
ment week play of the class, fall into
the arms of male chorus meu at the
conclusion of the dance.
Claiming that they were not ac
quainted with the owners of the
arras, never having been introduced
to the men. the co-eds declined the
proposed first meeting familiarity.
Coach Carlisle and members of
the cast attempted to smooth over
the strike of the co-eds, but they
remained obdurate and the scene
was temporarily dropped. The girls
say they came up to the exigencies
of the production by appearing in
short dresses and the proposed fa
miliarity was altogether lacking in
dignity. The feature will be drop
ped for the present unless Carlisle
is able to bring the men and women
of the chorus closer together.

Uncle John’s Sense of Humor
B, RUBY BAUGHMAN
(Copyright. 1911. by Associated Lutetary Press.)
Margaret was toiling along through
the Los Angeles chamber of com
merce behind her two prosaic kinfolks.
Like the humming drone of his own
threshing machine. Uncle John prosed
over silly statistics and poky pro
cesses. She was half-gigglingly com
menting to herself as she tagged dog
gedly along after Aunt Eliza's amply
constructed. black broad-clothed form,
that Uncle John ought to be prosecuted !
for bigamy, on the ground that he had
two times as much wife as he had
when he first married, when she dis
covered two grey eyes, under a broad
hat brim, answering her chuckles with
wrinkly tw inkles.
The haughty disdain which she dutl
fully tried to spread over her amuse
ment fell before the good-natured ap
preciation of her need of a relief ex
pedition. She bowed, tentatively and
reservedly. The hat lifted in a most
dignified acknowledgement and its
owner advanced, holding out his right
hand. Margaret placed her brown
glove within his reach, with the affirm
ation:
"I am very glad to meet you here,
very glad to see you again.” in answer
to Aunt Eliza's backward look of in
quiry. The aunt’s exclamation at
tracted the attention of Uncle John.
Margaret led her new-found friend
up to her guardians.
‘•I am glad to introduce to you a
very old friend from Iowa. This is my
ancle and aunt, with whom I am
spending my summer vacation. Mr.
Livingston."
Aunt Eliza only exclaimed again,
alcud. and started to say that which
Uncle John interrupted by an em
phatic wave of his big capable-looking
arm.
"I am delighted to know you. Mr.
Livingston: delighted to know you.”
Then taking an observation of the
young man's evident intention to fall
back in step with the niece, he
reached forward firmly for the young
man's arm. pulling him into step.
“If you are from the middle west,
most of our agricultural processes and
products will be new and interesting ,
to you. Xow. here is-” and begin- I

She Escaped and round Refuge From
the Situation.
ning with a peroration about prunes,
based on the huge elephant construct
ed out of dried specimens of that
much derided boarding house favorite
—a frightful, wobblv-kneed example of
what Industry, coupled with violence
of imagination, energetically misdi
rected, can perpetrate—Uncle John led
him by dried-fruit-bound paths into the
mysteries of California farming.
Silently, not to say patiently or re
sentfully. Margaret walked along with
Aunt Eliza. What profit from her
transgression if it not only furnished
no escape for her, but even afforded a
new sacrifice upon the altar of Uncle
John's zeal for acquiring and impart
ing information. Piloted by Uncle
John, the humorless, the quartet
stopped before a model fruit farm,
worked out in papier mache.
“This ranch, Margaret, which is
here reproduced, belongs to your
aunt’s nephew. Jack Jenkins. I have
asked him to take dinner with us at
the hotel tonight and you will meet
him there. He’s a good chap. I
never caught him in a false position
but once, and then I think the fault
was not altogether his.”
The young man, with longing looks
toward Margaret, showed signs of
breaking away from her uncle's re
straining grasp.
"All he needs is a housekeeper—a
wife, I mean, home-maker, like your
Aunt Eliza’s been to me,' droned
Uncle John, stating that romantic sit
uation as one might speak of the num
ber of seeds in a prune elephant. “But
he is not much for women folks. He
sayS it takes him six days to figure out
what a woman means by what she
says and by that time he's forgotteD
what it was she said.”
The man with the sombrero Gushed
with shame over this account of so
unappreciative a member of his sex.
"Perhaps he never met the one wo
man," he hesitatingly offered in ex
tenuation.
“Maybe,” answered the guide of this
personally conducted party. "He has
sense enough about other things. Now
that raisin plant is modeled after one
of his.”
.Margaret lagged farther and farther
behind out of hearing.
An alley, lined with golden pyra
mids of oranges, opened before her.
Mr. Livingston might listen until
nightfall or hoarseness silenced Uncle
John; she escaped and found refuge
from the situation, if not from herself,
in her quiet hotel room.
Refreshed by a bath and fortified by
a fresh gown she awaited the arrival
of her uncle and aunt. Uncle John
came into the parlor excitedly discuss
ing the probability of finding her here
as he opened the door.
Margaret murmured something about
having stepped into a side aisle to
look at some very beautiful prunes
and thus losing her way. Unde John
assured her of his regret. Aunt Eliza
was silent. The stranger looked un
comfortable, almost embarrassed.
“Mr. Livingston is stopping here
too. so he'll take dinner with us,” ex
plained Uncle John, as they departed
to make ready for that meal.
Wondering how It would all end she
made her way with her chattering
relatives to the table in the small din
ing-room. She was grateful for the
chilling presence of a black and white
automaton of a waiter. He seemed, fn
seme way, a means of postponement
cf the moment of judgment.
“And what time do you put the corn
crop usually?” she heard Uncle John
say. With unbelieving ears she heard
the answer:
“Oh, at the end of the rainy season
in February or March, as a rule.”
Iowa's rainy season, in March!
Margaret gasped in anticipation ol
Uncle John's scathing remarks. Uncle
John had spent his boyhood on an
Iowa farm. But he only inquired fur
ther:
"I didn't suppose the ground would
be ready to work so early in the
spring."
“Oh, ve6, it’s muddy sometimes, and
disagreeable to handle—too soft in
fact."
Margaret closed her eyes and caught
a glimpse of an Iowa corn field in
March—the grayish-yellow stalks
sticking up through four or five feet of
snow drift. Maliciously, it seemed to
Margaret, did Uncle John lead the con
fused young informant through tortu
ous ways of misinformation.
From cocktail to demi tasse the in
quisition lasted. With an almost over
whelming desire to scream, Margaret
finally led the procession of four from
the dining room along endless, red
carpeted corridors to the little sitting
room. A change, even a scene of the
torture, was a welcome rest.
"I thought your nephew. Mr. Jenk
ins. was coming to take dinner with us
tonight." she said by way of converse- ]
tion to Aunt Eliza, to whom she sup
posed the amply-proportioned shadow
beside her on the window curtain be
longed.
“He did," slowly answered the voice
of the blunderer about corn crops and
Iowa harvests.
In wild-eyed amazement Margaret ,
faced him.
"He—and—you are-" she gasped.
“Yes, he did and I am."
“And the fruit ranch and the-.” i
Words failed her in the recollection of J
Uncle John's minute description of the j
Jenkins homestead.
“Yes,” very carefully, as one on un
safe treading, "but I'm not the mis- |
egamist. Uncle John—"
"And Uncle John made Aunt Eliza
keep still. Those two old geese are
up in their room laughing their old
eyes out. He loves a joke better than :
a good meal of Aunt Eliza's own cook
ing."
“Uncle John loves a joke! Why, I ;
thought Uncle John had no—and now
lie'll think—you'll all think—”
“Uncle John has asked me to go for
a visit with them and you to their
ranch in order that I may tell you
[ think. Shall I?"

CHEERFULNESS AIDS SICK
_ *
Many Ills Contracted Through Fear,
and Cure Is Often Effected by In
fluence of Another Person.
A famous physician once said that
over half of all who call in the doc
tor would get we? without any medi
cine if the doctor only keeps them
cheerful, that many of the remaining
half needed only a bare pill—their im
agination would do the rest.
Imaginary ills, or ills produced by
the power of the mind, often baffle
physicians. We all know how some
people In reading patent medicine lit
erature become seized with all the
symptoms they find described. And
It is largely in the cases of people like
these that patent medicines have
wrought their cures, for no one can
dispute that many imaginative people
bave felt beneficial effects from Buch
nostrums.
It is largely in Imaginary ills sim
ilar to those I bave mentioned that
mental science has worked Its good,
it has also effected cures in ills other
than imaginary, but the sickness was
largely brought on through fear, or
some other wrong thinking and th.;
cure worked by the suggestive influ
ence of one person's mind over an
other’s.
Even if these functional diseases
are purely imaginary, they cause the
patient as much pain and incapaci
tates him as much for work as any or
ganic disease. It is a physician's
duty to heal the sick, whether it is a
sick body or a sick mind. Physical
disorders need physical treatment, but
mental disorders need mental treat
ment. A physician who would neglect
the mind while treating the body
would not be doing his full duty.
Probably few movements in the his
tory of mankind have been of more vi
tal significance than that now on foot
in America to put psychotheraphy to
effective use. And it is largely to
physicians that the world now owes
the usefulness of psychotheraphy, for
they have had a vast lot to do with
bringing it to the place it now holds
in science.—Woman's World.

PILLS

MARK
A trial package of Munyon’s Paw Paw
Pills will be sent free to anyone on re
quest. Address Professor Munyon, 53d &
Jefferson Sts., Philadelphia, Pa. If you are
in need of medical aflvice, do not fail to
write Professor Munyon. Your communi
cation will be treated in strict confidence,
and your case will be diagnosed as care
fully as though you had a personal inter
view.
Munyon’s Paw Paw Pills are unliks
all other laxatives or cathartics. They
coax the ’iver into activity by gentls
methods. They do not scour, they do
not gripe, they do not weaken, but they
do start all the secretions of the liver
and stomach in a way that soon puts
these organs in a healthy condition and
corrects constipation. In my opinion
constipation is responsible for most ail
ments. There are 26 feet of human
bowels, which is really a sewer pipe
When this pipe becomes clogged th*
whole system becomes poisoned, caus
ing biliousness, indigestion and impure
blood, which often produce rheumatism
and kidney ailments. No woman who
suffers with constipation or any liver
ailment can expect to have a clear
complexion or enjoy good health. If
I had my way I would prohibit the sals
of nine-tenths of the cathartics that ars
new being sold for the reason that they
soon destroy the lining of the stomach,
setting up serious forms of indigestion,
and so paralyze the bowels that they re
fuse to act unless forced by strong
purgatives.
Munyon'$ Paw Paw Pills are a tonic
to the stomach, liver and nerves. They
invigorate instead of weaken; they en
rich the blood Instead of Impoverish
it; they enable the stomach to get all
the nourishment from food that is pul
into it.
These pills contain no calomel, ns
dope: they are soothing, healing and
stimulating. They school the bowels
to act without physic.
