the buildings in the vicinity caught and were
soon consumed. A stiff wind caused the
fire to spread rapidly and the flames 1 aped
from building to building until a good por

in ashes. The citizens tried every
way in their power to check
tr.e fire, but th ir efforts were of no a. ail.

about seventy-five majority, but
they have carried this precinct by
only 30. Cochran gave a majority of 80
ag dust the sale. It is safo to say ti e county

orderly elect on. No disturbances whatever,
as far as can be learned, eccurred at any of

From tV .Nor Fori T.mes.
Begging is being reduced to a fine art.
Those who are in the habit cf traveling
t r ugh the busy thoroughfares of this city
after dark are often surp. is id into involun
tary a.ins giv.ng by eonte startling tale cf
diitresa
it is daring the small hours of tha morn
ing, when ina :kmd genern-ly is wrapt in
trie ras ful embrace of na are’s soft muse,
that the real arti-t beggar is encountered
by thore unf >rtu:;ateor foolisri en ough ti
be oat of t..elr beds. Mi yoi triesa display
am ingenuity and a kniwla ige of human
nature bici if applied ia a m re worthy
cria .nel would bri >g fame and fortune.
Such a o.e accosted aTi nes reporter last
evening.
It as oo Twenty-seventh street, close to
Broadw y, that this beggir was met He
was a 6 e-appearing fel.jw, young, ata
letir and excaeiin'iy wed yet modestly
dre seL The in J*t striking tning about
him, however, was a very heavy, scrubby
gr .wth of b.-ard of a hue atrociously rei.
There wns not enough of tb.s growtn to be
d.gaifiei with the name f wniskers, Luc
, enouzh to give toe fe.iiw a dirty aid
. a:oer ferocious, aspect. He appro .coed ii
a m viesc yet uianiy way, touc.,mg his bat
as he said:
• Pardon me, but can I detain you for a
minute? i’m a s ra iger in tais city; came
here from Exeter, X. H.. taree days ggo to
ltws for empioymeot. I was unfortunate
enough to i re my pockrtb ok, containing
e ery ce it Ina L Tnat is why lam walk
iu tne stree.s at this n .r of tue morning.
I hate to hog, but [cubbing his hand across
iris uts .aven cbm] i’m ia a very bid hole.
At 8 o’d-oca I hive aa appointment with a
moreaa who has p. om.ed to employ me
as a bookkeeper. It will rum my c.ancas
for the place if igo looking like triii iVill
you ,e id me fif mea cents so that I cm ge: a
shave f’
Nine men out of ten would have given tbe
fell w what he askei, or more; but the re
porter, witn an intutti. e bo.:-f tnat “tilings
are seldom what the seem,’’ had just a lit
tle suspicion, to3ubstatu. ite waicu he asked
the beggar if he was hungry. An affirma
tive answer was lollowed by an invitation
to step iuto a near-by c hophou*e, where the
two were so n seated over a modest spread
of meat and driiiK. The beggar proved to
be a really de.ightful companion, ready in
conversation and engaging iu man .er.
Over the luncheon he soon warmed up.
When be had b.-come sufficiently cjnvival
t.e reporter candidly, bat in a half
asria . ed sort of a way, told oim of the sus
picion that his tale of 7 .voe was a mere ruse
of an ordinary, or rather an extra 'rdinarj,
beggar. W.th a hearty laugu, and witaout
any indication of remorse, the fellow ad
mitted it, and a few questions drew from
him the following mf rmation:
“I did c >me from Exeter to get work, hut
I could not find it, and low I don’t want to.
In my extremity I could not afford to
shave. They say necessity is trie mother of
invention. I needed a suave, and in my
necessity one night about a inontn ago I ap
pealed to a man on trie street to give me tue
money to get one. I told him j ;st wbat I
told y u, and iuimed.a eiy he gave me a
quarter and wished me mck. Tne ease with
wh.ch I got that quarter induced ine to try
again. I tickled about twenty men, over
half of whom swa towed my yarn and gave
me money, aggregating over $4.
“My success as a beggar knocked all de
sire for work out of me. I saw that I had
a soft tiling and stuck t. it. Its only draw
back is taut I nave to go unshave l four
days a week. During those four days,
though, I make enough to live all the week,
so 1 get shaved and ioaf about town tue
other three. Oh. tout ugly red beard is
my salvation, though it used to be the bane
of my life. It earns trio or more a week
for me without any invested capital, except
tor such as I put in good clotnea. I must
dre-s well to r ear out mv story, you know.
“Going? No, don't. You have paid for
the supper, 6o now sit down, and hare a bot
tle of ale and a cigar with me. i have a
sruaii surplus of shaving money this week. ”
The invitation was aycopted, and the re
porter must confess* that he never spent a
more cong niai noun tnan that hour with
the man who lived on his whiskers.

Be Sure
If you have made up your mind to buy
Hood’s Sarsaparilla do not be induced to take
any other. A Boston lady, whose example Is
worthy imitation, tells her experience below:
“ In one storo where I went to buy Hood's
Sarsaparilla the clerk tried to induce me buy
their own instead of Hood’s; hetoldmetheir's
would last longer; that I might take it on ten
To Get
: days’ trial; that if I did not like it I need not
pay anything, etc. But lie could not prevail
\ on me to change. I told him I had taken
| Hood's Sarsaparilla, knew what it was, was
j satisfied w ith it, and did not want any other.
; When I began taking Hood's Sarsaparilla
t I was feeling real miserable with dyspepsia,
and so weak that at times I could hardly
Mood’s
stand. I looked like a person In eonsump
j tion. Hood's Sarsaparilla did me so much
good that t wonder at myself sometimes,
and my friends frequently speak of it.” Mas.
