I \ 3 The Flea of an Aristocratic Beggar In Ptlexico. . Even a beggar may have pride? . at least in Mexico. At a railroad t station in that country, says Mr. W. E. Carson in his book "Mexico," he . noticed standing a little removed - from the motley throng of mendii cants a melancholy looking Mexi > can wearing a rather battered brown felt sombrero, his limbs incased in skin tight trousers of thin gray cloth adorned with numerous > patches. Over his shoulders was a bright red blanket. He was strumming away at an old fashioned manr dolia and singing some mournful Spanish song. Catching sight of me, he stopped - playing and lifted his sombrero. I went out on the car platform and ' handed him 5 cents. To my aston ishmcnt, he politely declined my " humble offering. > "Senor," said he in choice Span ish, with some emotion, "you must ? ? m_ l_ JJcUUUU LUU 1U1 UtJIJJg UliUUiU lO uu, cept yoar gift, but I am a ten cent beggar, senor, and never, never accept a smaller gratuity." Drawing himself up, with an air of pride he continued, <fI shall be honored to sing for vour entertainO ?/ ment a song of old Spain or one of our noble Mexican airs, but always for a fee of 10 cents, never for less, for I am a ten cent beggar, senor, poor as I am." It was impossible to resist this touching protest; so, with an apol- ? ogy, I handed the courtly vagrant ca his proper fee, which he acknowl- S edged with "a thousand thanks" | and a graceful bow. r| At the other end of the car the | mob of beggars were scrambling for i copper coins thrown to them by my | fellow passengers. The melancholy 1 minstrel glanced at them, shrugged | his shoulders and waved his hand | deprecating!)*. 5j "Ah, senor," he observed, "those | poor people! They have to work \ hard to earn their bread?good folk, I t worthy folk, well deserving of your E charity?but they give you a very S bad impression of Mexico. Pray. Jj senor, do not class them with poor | musicians like myself." m With these words be commenced 58 twanging his discordant instrument I ag?iin and once more burst into a 1 song so dismal that it seemed to I make the gloomy weather even 1 more depressing. I AN EARLY PORTIA. | She Plesded Her Own Case In the j I High Court of Babylon. | Among the most interesting treas- I ures of the British museum are the I clay tablets of ancient Babylonia. | These tablets, resembling unglazed E tiles, throw quaint lights and shad- w ows on the manners and customs of long ago. Usually the records are = fragmentary, but are occasionally fairly complete, as is that of legal proceedings instituted by a "woman j of Borsippa," which action is of j t particular interest as showing that | * a married woman's property law Eg was in force as early as 550 B. C. 1 The proceedings to which the ? "documents" refer were taken by a J j woman against her brother-in-law Js j to regain possession of property left j || by her husband. The evidence show- >, w cd that a man of Babylon had mar- j 1 ricd the woman from Bor.-ippa. and j m with the money of her dowry lie i < had bought an estate. After a few j ? years, having no children of their } own, they adopted a son. and short- ! 3y afterward the husband inorrgag- ; ed the estate. Later ho died, icav- j ~ : :ng the estate mortgaged, and Ids \ j brother attempted to claim the j w j property. ; n The widow took tlic matter he- j j? j foie the court at Borsipjm. hut it ! |1 was beyond the jurisdiction of this j jm : court and was referred to the high i| | court at Babylon. Here the ca>e ; i was duly heard, and the jndcrcs rcn- I Hi i dcred a decision to the effect that j ^ | as the property had been the bus- j uj ! band's the widow could have it upon j j|| paying off the mortgage and flint ja the brother had no claim. Kvonlu- j n ally the estate would be the prop- j ra crty of the adopted son. It is ex- j g| prcssly stated, as though a matter I & of some interest, that the woman i ?3 pleaded her own case in the high ! B court of )>al>y!on without assist- j w ancc,?St. Louis liepublic.
