"A Manual for tho Use of IleggarH."
There's already a movement on foot
In this country among the fathers
of ciillego stud ears to suppress the
volume. , . . What beggars really
need, uf course. Is nut so much a
manual as manual labor. . , Jf
the book were Introduced in Amor
lea tho title could bo changed to
"Manual for OH Stock Salesmen,"
and ll would go over big. , , . The
strange thing about It all is that
they should arrest a beggar In

their beggars foreign ministers.

Yoting chicks confined In a small
