4,000 STUDENTS IN STREET CARNIVAL

On a roeent Saturday Glasgow was hold up to ransom by the University students, who were rounding off a memorable week on behalf of local charities with a street carnival and collection. Nearly 4,000 undergraduates, in cluding hundreds of girls dressed in motley, assembled at the Uni- versity, and proceeded through the streets to the City Chambers, where they were greeted by the Lord Provost.

The carnival was perhaps the most original ever witnessed in Scotland, and included numerous comical tableaux as well as 3. superabundance of more or less musical accompaniment. One giant steam lorry had no fewer than eighteen, barrel organs on board, each churning out its own particular melody.

After proecasion the studenta divided into groups and combed cut the entire city. A sum of £3,000 was collected quite early chiefly by means of immunity badges, which, sold at £1 each, re- loved the holder from the atton tions of the collectors.

BEGGAR'S UNIVERSITY.

PRIVILEGES OF THE

LEGLESS, *

Paris-Bogging was organised professionally long before Tradea Unions were heard of, says an Obarver correspondent and its course of study and its diplomas are at least as old as Fagin. It is therefore perhaps not surprising to hear that the other day in Paris the beggars held a meeting at the Bourse de Travail and decided to insist upon a higher tariff. In future they will accept nothing less than 25 centimes...

They will get it too. There is a well-known legloss beggar call- ed Lopez, who makes his hundred francs a day regularly by trund ling himself on his little trolley along the Boulevard de Sebastopol, and is an owner of house property. Among what may be called secu- lar beggars his prosperity is per haps exceptional; but the religi ous kind, who are a very close cor-

poration, with each his or her re-

cognised pitch at a church door, make a very regular living, ending with quite a nice little lump sum when any one of them decides to sell the goodwill of the business..

HONESTY is the best policy.

The man who makes and sells the best {goods will in the end be the greatest gainer. Deception cannot long cover up its tracks. He who expects to thrive by deception, chicanery or counterfeiting will in the end prove himself not only a kname but a fool, and all the people will say. "Amen *. .
