A frequent encounter is the dusty and dirty individual who will not
voluntarily solicit but depends entirely upon the kindness of the people
for existence. In this respect they approach the fakirs but who differ
as to the religious motive. These men do not beg or do they give thanks for
anything receivec.. They are entkrely unconcerned with actuality but exist
in sort of a stupor. If worst comes to worst they would have the power to
salvage food but take their chances with charity until death is just around
the comer.

There are too many types of city slick and outright beggars to even
attemp to classify.

The most annoying type is the persistent parasite. They are generally
small boys who spot you a block away and after joining you will stick as
tenaciously as a young bull pup nor will they leave you until you intention-
ally pass by an Indian policeman and indicate at thet particular moment
that you are be ing annoyed, These fellows are generally intelligent and woul
be compared with the rough neck of Brooklyn or Chicago. They know people
and they know the city and have contract agreements with all the various
shops such as shoe repair shops, eating places, merchant stores, pleces
of recreation etc. They can be readily be compared with the shoe shine boys
of which there is about six to each block and just as persistent. Even with
a beating from a policeman with his whip the lad dodges around the block and
makes his reappearance a short way down the street to continue with his
parasitism. One should never insult these chaps or even try to control tiem
by force becavse they all know the tricks and are only too glad to have such
a situation arrise.

Another common beggar at least a variety of beggar is the misrepresent—
ion of the police authority or guide service suggesting special places to

buy or eat etc.
