Summoning me to hia august presence, the chief official of the poorhouse handed me the sum of 25 and a certificate testifying that I was discharged from the institution .with a good character.

Quretioned about hia release front, prtaon a few days Baron ago, Bennlg-m- , who la now 45, gave the followi- ng account of hia life: A PAUPER S BOYHOOD.

These were few and far between, and when a ss tip amounted to one cent I looked upon the donor ns n remarkably prosperous personage. Aa a rale the tip given was of a pfennig, equal to cent. My earnings amounted to an average of about 1 n week, and if my employer had not given .me food and lodging I could not have lived. From this post I advanced to a similar one in n second-clarestaurant, and from here I rose to fill the same position in a first-clarestaurant frequented by the moat fashionable set of society. After a time the proprietor of the restaurant, to whom I had shown my papers, revealed to some of the regular guests of hia establishment the secret of my rank and birth. From this moment life in the restaurant became unbearable. The guests used to call me Herr Baron, and some of them who were rich parvenus took a peculiar de- one-quar- ter as aa Tramp TWJ mtcfc-Mait Ha yip, mt HR TH.1 n hotel porter I had accumulated. is considerable suma of money, which enabled me to live for a time ln the style befitting a baron. 1 lived at fashion- able hotels and raveled in the most luxurious cars to the moat expensive watering places. I ate sumptuous dinners and gave princely tips to the menials who waited on me. Altogether I lived like an aristocrat, and bo yon can Imagine that it waa very difficult for me to stand on the step of n shabby omnibus and collect one rent fares. Moreover, it offered me no opportunities of saving enough money to enjoy another erioj of a life v luxciy, and ao, discontents! with my lot, I abandoned the occupation. From this period luck seemed to have turned against me more than ever. I Buffered the depths of destitution and turned my hands to ail aorta of occupation. I went to Hamburg and worked at the docke as a casual laborer, and in the summer went down into the country district and worked as a harvester. The labor required of me was exhausting and the kind of occupation Aid not suit me at all. Rebelling again my fata, I resolved that I would do no more work and compel society to maintain me. I began to travel about the country, begging enough money to provide for my mainteuanoe. - This' mode of Ilf has Its disadvantages, but on the whole I find it preferable to doing work un suited to my aristocratic hands. I live a life of leisure and my journeys on foot lead me through some of the most beautiful districts of Germany, I do not live ln luxury, hut I receive sufficient to enable me to eat and drink and sleep in comfort Sometimes my mode of life brings me into conflict with the police, but I have learned to put up with these inconveniences with Indifference and equanimity. I have become a philoapber and in this frame of mind I can assure yon I derive a certain enjoyment out of life aa a tramp. It affords me a certain satisfaction to know that I am not doing any more work that I should have done if I had occupied my proper position In society as a Baron. It pleases me to think that after fate and a hard world have treated me so badly I hhave found a means of living at the expense of society ln .general- - Holding these views I do not suppose that I shall ever be anything else but a tramp." The police records reveal that Baron Bennigaen has bees imprisoned sixty-tw- o times for mendicancy and wandering wlthoyt visible means of subsistence. ' GEORGE WEISS. HOLLANDERS EXCURSION.
