42363Woman,I cried,"what have you done?
42363Yes, Sam, but what do you intend to be when you grow up?
42363Yes, but from where do you get money to buy food?
42363Yes, but his certificate proves something, does n''t it?
42363Yes, but where did you get yesterday''s bread?
42363Yes,I said,"but what has that to do with it?"
42363You do n''t know who the man is who sits near you in his shirtsleeves?
42363You do n''t know?
42363You hear?
42363You mean?
42363You see?
42363You squeaked-- ha? 42363 You understand?"
42363''Are you crazy?''
42363''What is that?''
42363''What wife Leah?''
42363''s home?"
42363A few minutes later he asked:"When am I to go?"
42363A man of about forty stood up and asked:"Grun?
42363A pension of$ 200 a month, a trip abroad, a palace, a country house?
42363After all, what are the poor guilty of?
42363After all, why not speak simply?
42363After having satisfied himself that he had accomplished this, he said to me, still looking at the papers:"Why do n''t you sit down?
42363Again the boy twisted around, and looking daggers at his mother he said:"You''ll tell tales?
42363All of a sudden he said to me:"You saw this man?
42363All the bambinos morte, sick?
42363Among her shoes, her museums, and supplies for ever- gaping curiosity( and what else but an accumulation of sights-- endless sights-- is a great city?
42363And Mr. G.?
42363And addressing me again he said:"A fine job, is n''t it?"
42363And does the canner think of that when he allows rotten meat to go into his cans?
42363And does the manufacturer think of that?
42363And does the milkman, a devout church- goer, who baptises his milk, think of the children he is killing, of the future generations he is crippling?
42363And does the owner of mines think of that?
42363And for what?
42363And how could it be otherwise, considering those who give, how they give, and the terrible doctrine of"the deserving poor"?
42363And how many, how many similar occurrences have led to similar results?
42363And the question came again and again to my mind:"Was charity, organised charity, the salve to heal this wound?"
42363And then again I asked:"But_ for whom_ is it kept up?"
42363And who puts the questions?
42363And why do n''t you go to the actors?
42363And you''ll stay there like a lamp post?
42363Any coal left?
42363Any wonder the project immediately materialised?
42363Are the laws different for rich and poor?
42363Are you her boarder?"
42363Are you not a mother?
42363As he passed my chair I stood up and seizing his wrists I asked:"Why do n''t you go to school?"
42363B.?"
42363B.?"
42363B.?"
42363Baer?"
42363But still, what will become of him?
42363But what does that prove?
42363But you saw the girls, did you?"
42363But, I ask you, could I live on two dollars a week?
42363Buy every day new clothes?
42363CLIPPING WINGS OF LITTLE BIRDS"And where does she go every day?"
42363Ca n''t I speak to the rabble with an uncultured voice?"
42363Cheap kitchens for the poor?
42363Did Mr. G. not himself pay$ 4.40( the difference between$ 3.60 and$ 8.00) for a kiss?
42363Did you call Grun?"
42363Did you find out?"
42363Do n''t you understand?
42363Do we get anything for that?"
42363Do you know where it will land him?"
42363Do you really think that he can not hear?
42363Do you see this old man there?
42363Do you think it''s fun?
42363Do you think that I am such a fool as to believe a single word of what you say?"
42363Does any one of them start his daily work with a thought of the poor, with a charitable thought?
42363Even if it is only from the salary, does it not prove that he is getting too much?
42363For God''s sake ca n''t you leave us alone?"
42363For several days this is continued, then the question is put: What is she doing at night?
42363From where all that money?
42363Grun?"
42363Ha?
42363Had she fallen?
42363Had she found her husband?
42363Had she not told me that she could not live on what she earned?
42363Had the sun anything to do with that?
42363Had this been so yesterday he would have turned round and questioned the sunbeams:"Where do you live?
42363Has he a conscience?
42363Have I grown callous?
42363Have I not yet seen it all-- is more horror to follow?
42363Have the overseers of St. L---- caused them to be shot?
42363Have they the interest of the poor at heart, or do they consider first their own job?
42363Have you a personal grievance against the woman?"
42363Have you no feeling?
42363He answered:"Why?
42363He died?"
42363He was dumbfounded and kept on repeating:"Is that her?
42363Hein, you would not?
42363Her children die?
42363How can you reduce wages?"
42363How could I say otherwise?
42363How could she be so sincere when she spoke to others?
42363How could she pawn her watch for a struggling Socialist paper?
42363How do they feel when they think of their homes, when they see a green leaf, when they hear the song of a bird?
42363How do you like it?
42363How do you make a living?
42363How many children have you?
42363How much are you earning a week?"
42363How much at the butcher?
42363How much did I spend at the grocery?
42363How much for dresses?
42363How old are you?
42363How old are you?"
42363How was I to know that the lady president of a Sisterhood affiliated to the office had recommended this case?
42363How will he be father, husband, friend?
42363I ca n''t help thinking, what will become of that boy?
42363I have arms for you-- better tell me how you got on in London-- a big town?"
42363I have been called three times here and what have you done for me?
42363I know you will say:"What else could we do with the poor, incapable of earning their living?"
42363I mean, does she use whisky?
42363I once asked him:"Say, Sam, what do you like best?
42363I put the picture before his eyes:"How do you like the change?"
42363I remembered the Manager''s answer:"Who is supporting this institution?
42363I took out my note book and put the following questions:"How long are you in America?"
42363I turned to the girl and asked:"How do you like living here?"
42363If the mother is in the street what will become of the children?"
42363If they call him_ too good_, what about the others?
42363If this be not true, why did not the Montefiore Home sue the calumniators?
42363In her way to what?
42363Instead of waiting, what do you think she did?
42363Is he from the charities?"
42363Is it not the inevitable result of the present organisation of society?
42363Is it possible that in the present industrial system there should be no poor and no helpless human beings?
42363Is n''t that a sign that they had enough of it, that they get candy every day?"
42363Is n''t that money destined to pay for other things than gasoline, and a liveried chauffeur?
42363Is n''t that so, Mr. Lawson?
42363Is poverty a crime?
42363Is that charity?"
42363Is that her?"
42363Is that payment for the pleasure they give him of torturing the poor?
42363Is there whisky in the house?"
42363It looks very reasonable, does it not?
42363It''s a fine job, Mr. Baer, is it not?"
42363Lawson?"
42363Lazy?
42363Lazyo- mania?"
42363Live on the two dollars?
42363Mamma, who''s there?"
42363Mr. Cram looked at me with scorn, and turning to the applicant he shouted at the top of his voice:"How old are you?"
42363Mrs. H. jumped at one of the women and called out loudly:"What do you want here?
42363Once when passing me he said:"You remember what I told you the other day?
42363Or is this perhaps a new interpretation of Christ''s words:"Let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth"?
42363Pitilessly I insisted on getting an answer to my question:"From what do you live?"
42363Pointblank I put the question:"How are you making a living?"
42363Really?"
42363S.?"
42363S.?"
42363S.?"
42363Say-- say quickly what do you want?
42363Shall I bring you her record?
42363Shall I say that the whole trapping affair was engineered by the husband and the second woman?
42363She was all right once, how is she now?"
42363Simply the desire to augment the quantity of records?
42363Six years old?"
42363So and So?"
42363So that''s the kind of a man he is?
42363So they have no bread, eh?"
42363So what could I do?
42363TUESDAY Is there no way to finish it all?
42363Tell me-- did you get tired-- or do you think begging a better trade?"
42363That old fellow who tried to read the inscription comes up to me,"How long will I have to wait?
42363The boy looked at the mother understandingly, as though he would ask, Is this not the one?
42363The boy thought a moment and then he hissed out between his teeth:"What in hell is it your business, now?
42363The boy, longing for childish pleasures, roller skates, which the mother dared not buy because of the investigator''s"Where did you get the money?"
42363The broken- down figure rose, brushed away some tears, and asked me:"And now, sir, tell me, who are you and what do you want?"
42363The charity again?"
42363The gentlemen look at one another a few seconds, then Mr. R., the chairman, gets up and yells at her:"You would not?
42363The janitor, very interested in charity affairs, asked:"Did you sweat them?"
42363The one with flowing white beard and bushy eyebrows?
42363The poor of the land spoke:"Are we to be punished because the locusts ate our grain?"
42363The poor or the rich?"
42363The result?
42363The result?
42363The woman looked me in the eyes for a few seconds, and then, all of a sudden, she asked me:"Are you a Jew?"
42363Then why not be consistent and spend the whole amount the same way?
42363They are in her way-- in her way to where?
42363They wear, they tear; what can she do?
42363To get rid of me he asked,''How does he look?''
42363To whom are these questions put?
42363WHAT IS DONE IN HIS NAME?
42363Was it purposely done to hasten their death and save the pension?
42363Was she once better, had her work killed her heart?
42363Was the one hundred and thirty- five dollars enough for her to support her children?
42363Was the woman in her insulted?
42363Was the woman placed in a hospital for incurables?
42363Was this a story to purse up people''s hearts and pennies against giving an alms to the blind?
42363We have here a splendid garden-- have a look through the window, sir-- a splendid garden is it not?
42363Were they afraid organised charity was going out of business?
42363Were they afraid that the workers had wakened up to their own misery?
42363Were they afraid to lose the fat positions, or was it simply the mania for investigating?
42363What about they themselves?
42363What can the poor woman do?"
42363What could I do?
42363What could the woman do?
42363What did he mean?
42363What did she think of me anyhow?
42363What do you come to bother us here for?
42363What do you do in your free time?"
42363What do you want with your three small kids?
42363What does it mean?
42363What had happened?
42363What has happened?
42363What has the"terror"done to her?
42363What is it?
42363What is your trade?
42363What is your trade?"
42363What was missing anyway?
42363What was the use of arguing with that man?
42363What will become of his children?
42363What''s it your business?"
42363When I knocked at the door he greeted me with"What d''hell d''you want?"
42363When a young woman has lost her shame why should she beg?
42363When any one applied for charity the first question put was:"Are you a tailor?"
