THE LONDON TAPSTER.

Hard Uncle Stories Tliat Take tlte
Place of Open BeKging.
The plain and open tapster who ac
costs you in the street purely to beg
may generally be known by an amaz
ing overpoliteness in opening the con
versation. He Is the only person I
know who begs pardon for taking the
liberty of speaking to yon, and by this
sign yon shall know him. They all be
gin by begging pardon for taking this
not so very rare 4(&erty. but only the
duffers go on straightway to tap. The
proficient tapsters approach the tap
sideways, so to speak. Something like
this, with a quick touch of the hat
brim:
M Beg pardon, sir, I*m sure I ’umbly
beg your pardon for takin' the great
liberty of speakin’ to yon in a public
thoroughfare like this, which I am
quite aware it is a great liberty, sir,
though trustin’ yon will kindly pardon
the great liberty of a pore, ’ardworkin’
man, sir, in takin’ the great liberty of
askin' if this street is the ’Aymarket,
sir?” (Or the way to the Strand or the
day of the month, or something.)
Yon answer the question, but you
don’t stop the stream of apologetics.
“Thank you, kindly, sir,” pursues the
tapster, pouring out the words, “thank
you kindly, sir, if you’ll so far pa^kra
the liberty of a pore, ’ardworkin’ mn,
sir, in askin’ the question, which un
fortunately I was forced to take the
great liberty, sir, through bein’ out o’
work eighteen months an’ nothink to
eat since last Toosday fortnight, sir,
upon my word of honor, which nothink
but the cries for bread of fourteen
young children in arms would prevail
on me, sir—so igstreme kind as you’ve
bin to me, sir, which I shall never for
get—to take the very great liberty, sir,
in a public thoroughfare, of askin’
which is the nearest work’ouse?”
If once more you give him informa
tion instead of coppers, you only pro
voke another speech of the same sort,
for he can go on like that for a deal
longer than you want to listen. It is
only in the extreme that he will direct
ly ask for money, though I fancy that
it is merely caution that marks his
guarded way, as they say in the lyric,
for if accused of begging by some
■watchful policeman he can always
plead that he was only asking a harm
less question. And the questions are
endless in variety. 'I give my solemn
word that I was once buttonholed by
one of these seedy tapsters with the
apologetic request that I would tell
him the number of stars on the na
tional flag of the United States! This
Is a simple fact.—Leonard Larkin in
the Strand.
Engagement Rings.
The custom of giving engagement
rings ranks back to long before the
Christian era. With the ancient Egyp
tians engagement rings were always
of iron, to indicate the mutual sacri
fice of liberty of the contracting par
ties.
One of the very earliest adornments
of betrothal rings was a loadstone,
which symbolized the attractive force
which drew a maiden from her own
family circle into that of her husband.
It is believed that the fourth finger
has always been the bride’s ring finger.
The Charleston Post makes this
very timely suggestion: “If the
Wisconsin legislature ysants to
give aid to a settlement of the
race problem it can do it by
instructing Senator Spooner,
elected by the present legislature,
to another term in the United
State senate, to oppose the con
firmation of Crum’s appointment,
and thereby contribute to the re
moval of an offense and irritation
to the white people of the south,
which will have a most unfortun
ate effect upon the negroes.”
The Minnesota legislature is
now trying to enact a law to pre
vent kissing. In other words
there may be a cooing between
the Bexes, but no billing. Why
should lawmakers waste time try
ing to annul the natural a#ci in
alienable rights of the young?—

“ If women would pay more attention to
their health we would have more happy
wives, mothers and daughters, and if they
would observe results they would find
that the doctors’ prescriptions do not
perform the many cures they are given
credit for.
In consulting with my druggist he ad-
of Cardui and Thed-
vised McElree’s Wine
ford’s Black-Draught, and so I took it and
have every reason to thank him for a new
life opened up to me with restored health,
and it only tQok three months to cure me.”
Wine of Cardui is a regulator of the
menstrual functions and is a most as
tonishing tonic for women. It cures
scanty, suppressed, too frequent, irreg
ular and painful menstruation, falling
of the womb, whites and flooding] It
is helpful when approaching woman
hood, during pregnancy, after child
birth and in change or life. It fre
quently brings a dear baby to homes
that have been barren for years. All
druggists have $1.00 bottles of Wine
of Cardui.
