Dear Sir, I beseech you, to kindly n01 refuse to consider the purchase of this work of art at the reduced price of eight guineas. - The first thing the C.O.S. do on receiving a begging letter, passed on from some well- known personage or man of rank and wealth, is to turn up their index to see if the name is known. The London Directory is also con suited to see if the address given is a tobac conist's shop or a newsagent's.

duce had gone back whence they came warried out with waiting, hence merchants are no better off than before. The Chinese will be able to use this as an argument to prove that it is really the people who do not wish to sell to the bar barians. It now appears that the Customs passes were rejected by the local officials along the trade route and that it is they who are hindering in trade because the duty is to be collected by the Imperial Custonis now, by which arrangement they will receive nothing I beg to draw the attention of Sir James Mackay and all advocates of the 15 per cent.

THE SCIENCE' OF BEGGING LETTERS:

BY ONE WHO HAS RECEIVED THOUSANDS.

It is as hard to break off the begging-letter writing habit as it is drunkenness. Many commence in a genuine manner, but soon „realize that a stamp may bring a soveregin. Bich men will persist in assisting these rogues, though they know that nine-tenths of the cases they have already assisted are old-established

no man can win honours, without his being tapped by astute rascals. The claims made are sometimes ridiculous. “I knew some one who knew your old nuse." "My uncle was in your good old grandfather's service."

A strange fact noted by the C.O.S people is that a letter which is palpably untrue on the 'face of it oftes has more effect than a modest and sensible statement. Members of Parlia ment are common prey, and supposed consti- tuents are constantly writing for railway fares-- always for long joruneys, up north, or to Scol· land-a good round'sum.

Twenty letters may be traced to one man, whose excuses are as various as his signatures, and yet there is a want of originality. The stories are commonplace and run on similar lines. Now and then a master arises, who writes, "I will not trouble you, sir, with refer ences, which might be bogus, nor with testi monials, which might be forgeries."

The thing is far more profitable than journ alism. Some "artists" take up the Army (the "old soldier" has a crafty yarn); others the Bar, and so on. Rare occasions produce a political expert MT, for example: At first he is a reporter and journalist, claim ing a reward for services rendered to the

Liberal party," Later on he seems to have seen the error of his former ways, for he ap- plied to a Conservative leader, to whose doc trines, of course, he had always "pinned bis political faith."

Before me lie reports, from the Charity Organization Society, to whom nearly every peer, millionaire, and successful man is indebt- ed for the exposure of these frauds. Naturally women are successful. One lady was at it seven years, and her gains must have run into four figures. She drew upon her own family history, and partly from romance. She flow her kite high-a loan of £200 or less." To my knowledge she received 120 in one sum The alleged "reduced parson is a great draw with innocent ladies. He is usually a heavy

Recalling the promise," Gall upon me when you are in trouble, and I will help you," he declares that the world will be astonished, and adds, "For they who do not still believe in the mimculous strength of the Lord will be constrained to believe in it when they have been in South Africa His omnipotent hand acting directly." He adds that "An honourable peace is still possible. On the day when the eyes of the English people are opened to the truth peace will be made, for the war is prolonged only by the cupidity and falsehood of our ad versaries. I pray God to add to all the miracles which He is accomplishing in our favour that of dispelling the blindness of the English, May He soon listen to this prayer. He alone is the Master."
