tentorian voice sing the undying praise
of some novelty, because the king has sent
bim out; and the king Is an East Side man.
The Original Fakir's Career.
It has been thirty-four years since the
bos fakir, the na newsboy of 13, originated
the atreet man occupation. Until he began
barking penknives o?e morning In front of
the old New York postofflce, In Nassau
atreet, no one except a few Jews were' try
ing to sell things on the thoroughfares,
nd they offered only duet broom and
other minor household necessities. A month
later the boy had the peddling Jewa work
ing for him. A year later he had a big
bank account for one of hi age. By the
time he was old enough to vote he was
pastmaster of the art he had originated, the
olo Instructor In a school of fakirs: and
from that day to this he has recruited his
student from the section pt the town where
he was born and sent tbem broadcast over
the country selling his wares.
So It happens that the typical Christina
fakir la. In large measure, a chip of th
king of them all.
Run across him wherever' you may, tou
will find him as sturdy of body ss of voice:
with a wit aa Incisive a hi business
acumen; possessor of a soul utterly Incao
able of being cast down, the Ingenuity and
Imagination of a clever novelist, and the
power to make word paintings that rival
the alternative work of circus press agent.
And lastly, as he handa you your purchase.
Jerks the price of money out of your hand,
tosses It into a pocket, and turns to the
next customer, all before you begin to real.
Ize what has happened, you can readily
aee why the hustling western business man.
famed In song and story, take a back seat
when the fakir comes around. And like the
first of race, nearly all the East alders
who will be selling Christmas novelties
tomorrow morning first served their ao
prentice days as newsboys along the Park
Row.
Tha Fakirs WIH Clear l'p fa.OOO.OOO.
It Is conservatively estimated that be
tween now and Chrlstmaa the 10,000 fakirs
will take In $2,000,000 over and above the
percentage that goes to the man back of
them. The average New York. Chicago or
Philadelphia street man clear anywhere
from M00 to $700 for his work on the ten
days prior to Chrlstmaa. The novelties are
never put on the atreet any earlier, for the
fakir glories In catching shoppers at full

"Blessed ar they who give and expect
nothing." eaid some modern prophet. He
hsd men In his mind's eye. Yet there ar
tew of the human family who, during the
hallowed season, would enjoy a surprise
with greater test than the boys of bygone
days.
As means of promoting surprises and
acatterlng Joy around the men, a fow hint
are submitted to women of good Intention.
The choice of suitable gifts for men I
painfully limited.
Most things are expensive beyond the
means of the average woman.
Moreover, men aro difficult to please.
Gocd-nalured ones will pretend to be
pleased.
Anxious donors, however, will have sus
picions that the cravat Is not of the right
color' or that the penwiper Is not regarded
as highly useful.
If one Is afraid to venture upon cravat,
she might at least try a rack over which
they may bang.
This Is made by covering a long, slender
mailing tube with fancy silk or pretty rib
bon. A little cushion for scarf pins fit well
Into the tube ends and I only partially con
cealed by the extending frill of the cover.
Suspended by a ribbon this makes an at
tractive gift and one which may be put to
Immediate service.
A man 1 no more particular about hi
tie than his linen, so a new ( collar and
cuff case may aults his needs.
Not one with ribbons for him to tie or a
tight lid or intricate fastenings.
He will not use these.
It must be neat and masculine looking,
and, above all things, easy to open.
Answering these requirements Is a linen
covered case which looks much like a busi
ness envelope.
Two pieces of pasteboard twelve Inches
long and five wide are placed about four
Inches apart, with the long side psrallel.
The linen Is pasted on while they lie In
this position.
A contrasting shade of linen or silk 1
pasted on the other side for the lining.
The linen between the boards ia folded
Into accordion pleats and piece of elas
tic sewed to the two aidea of each end.
The case Is fastened with strap and
loop or buckle.
A monogram or Initial Is the only deco
rative fancy which Is suitable.
So much for the cuff case.
To make a collar box, secure the linen
around a six-Inch mailing tube.
Pour Inches deep Is good proportion.
Justice James Fitzgerald of the New York
aupreme court apent hi vacation abroad.
In Ireland the drastic operation of the
crime act attracted his attention a a
lawyer and Jurist. On investigation he
found much popular ignorance of the act's
meaning and force. At some trouble ho
secured an official copy of the law and
made an analysis of It from an American
legal point of view. The result he gave In
an Interview In the New York Sun a few
days ago. ..
"It la the general opinion that Ireland Is
governed by the same laws which orevall
In Great Britain," ' said' Judge Fltx
gerald. "In other word, that her people
enjoy the constitutional rights which are
guaranteed to all aubjeets of the crown In
England, Wales and Scotland. To exnlode
this erroneous notion It is only necesssry
to call attention to this criminal law and .
procedure act of 1887, the provisions of
which relate exclusively to Ireland.
"So sweeping is the power conferred
upon the lord lieutenant by the compre
hensive measure that he may at any time
by the simple process of Issuing procla
mation suspend absolutely th civil rights
of all the Inhabitants of the country for
an Indefinite period. He may proclaim the
whole Island, or any civil division thereof.
In effect, such proclamation Instantly de
prives an accused peraon of every safe
guard with which the common law and
general statute of the realm surround him
snd authorizes summary prosecution be
fore two minor, magistrates appointed
during the ' pleasure of the crown, who
may condemn to Imprisonment with or
without hard labor. What would the most
loyal of Englishmen at home or In the
colonies think if the right of trial by jury
could be thus trampled upon and ignored
In his own case?
"The Justices of the higher courts In Ire
land are all appointees of the crown, snd
In political caaes. or quaal-politlcal cases,
that they have been loyal to the point of
aubservlency will not be disputed. They
are appointed during good behavior, how
ever, and can only be removed upon charges
clear as much as $75, frequently $100 snd
not Infrequently $125 and $150.
Once In a while there Is a man In the
cities .of millions who, when he reckons up
his profits before arraying himself In bis
best duds on Chrlstmaa day, preparatory
to calling on his "steady company," or
taking wife and children to a vaudeville
entertainment, finds that he Is $1,000 or
$1,600 "to the good." This 1 especially
true when some novelty, simple a two
and two In construction and small In con
structive price, catches the public fancy
and has a phenomenal sale at t or 10 cent
the specimen.
But whether be makes $1,600 or $160, the
typical fakir takes a long rest after the
Christmas harvest ia ended. Barring a few
of his brethren, who bark year in snd year
out, be Is liable to spend nearly all' his
time ' until the next Christmas recuperat
ing. He Is a happy-go-lucky fellow. Is the
fakir, and In this trait he Is In sharp con
trast with the universally acknowledged
bead of his calling. '
A Goo Year tor the Fakirs.
This holiday season the street men con
fidently expect to make so much money that
the odd Jobs sometimes necessary to be un
dertaken between Christmases for the good
of the body, will be obviated for once. They
base their expectations on the general pros
perity of the country. Even a fakir new to
the business knows that it takes a full
porketbook to make a man give heed to,
laugh over, and purchase th Insignificant
trinkets displayed on trays and small
stands In the doorways of vacant stores;
In pushcarts snd In huckster wagon.
Th prosperous matured and maturing
public will be tempted with not a few brand
new plaything, some of which, th Invent
ors snd the fakirs hope, will prove as slu
slvely punllng as "plgs-ln-clover" and
thereby make record-breaking sales. In
deed, this hop has given way largely to a
feeling of certainty, baaed on the unusual
rapidity with which th few hundreds of
samples of these various novelties sent out
through th country to test their selling
powers were gobbled up.
On the strength of this "feeler," which Is
made with extreme car every year, a half
million copies of th teaser called "Co-lumbu-tand-up-th-egg"
will be placed
on the market. Outwardly It 1 g small
duplicate of ths glass ease once se popular
for covering artificial flowers. It eaa be
bald la the hollow of the hand. Inclosed by

Gifts for Men
Line with the same material used In the
cuff case.
Both the lining and outside material are
allowed to extend above the pasteboard
aldea far enough to reach the center, then
form a narrow frill.
An elastic cord Is passed through eye
lets In the frill, where It reaches the
center.
To open the fingers stretch this cord un
til It fits down over the side.
It will quickly regain it first place when,
the atraln la released.
Th monogram may be worked on one
side.
An uncovered pasteboard bandbox, If cov
ered with art linen, lined and cushioned at
the bottom and over the extending Inner
rim for supporting the hat, will closely re
semble a leather hat box.
Red satin lining Is most serviceable and
forms a pleasing contrsst to the tan linen
covering.
To protect the lining of man'a coat from
being worn and marred by rough hangers,
linen, satin or ribbon may be drawn
smbthly over a well-shaped wooden hanger.
If the material Is plain, the initial or
monogram Is worked on the face.
A set of these will please a man more
than many more expensive gifts.
Such articles aa suspenders, dress suit
protector, hose and handkerchiefs may be
embroidered with an Initial or a simple pat
tern. For hi comfort In the library give man
a leather foot cushion.
The squares or oblong of leather are
easily fastened together - with a thong
passed through hole made with a rivet eye
punch.
If the cushion is for a den, lace Chinese
pennies around the border and finish the
corner with a touch of loose leather strips.
The study lamp may have a new shade of
leather, on which a Chinese or Japanese
dragon disports itself.
Each scale Is cut out that the light may
pass through.
The eyes, tongue and horns sre treated In
the same way.
The outline of the dragon may be burnt
on the leather or made of a separate piece
and pasted on.
Imagine an orange-colored dragon on
green lamp shade, or a green one on red.
To this the light piercing through the scales
dds a fanciful effect.
For a business man a letter file neatlv
covered with leather or linen would be an
appropriate gift.

In place of the lead there Is a hollow

The points are round, pointed and curved.
The point, inserted In a holder, Is connected

"Is It surprising, then, that Ireland is not
prosperous, that trade languishes and in
dustries suffer? Give the power to a hos

In mind that these extraordinary powers

But the toy that will capture ihe boy Is a
top that will spin In his pocket. In his hand,
on Its ends, on its side, on s pedestal;
that will walk a wire or thread, jumo off its
side and spin on still and defy gravitation.
This top is really a top within a top. The
outer top merely acts as a casing for the
Inner top, or fly wheel, which, when set In
motion by pulling off a string wound once
around the spindle, causes the toy to do all
sorts of trick.

tool that can be used as a stove cover lifter,
a hot pail lifter, a hot pot tipper, pipe
