More safeguards against indiscriminate i'm
migration are undoubtedly required, shown
by the report Of the National Conference Of
Charities and Corrections. The effects of ex-
cessive and unregulated immigration are stated.
The increase in the number Of insane in Massa-
chusetts, according to paper read to the con-
ference, is from LOO to 5000 in the last
twenty-five years, the period Of greatest influx
OF population. While population has increased
but go per cent and wealth but 80, the increase
in expenditure for paupers is $50 per centum.
The report holds wisely that there is a limit to
our national capacity for assimilation into
good citizenship and declares that the only
hope il in q system Of consular inspection
abroad to be provided by treaty with foreign
powers and by federal inspection in the ports
of our own country.

incredulous bystander.
"Simply by the initials OF their
names. In the first place YOU must
remember that about halfofthe male
population OF this country have been
named after Presidents of the United
States or candidates for president,
and all you have to do is to know
when these presidential candidates
were at the zenith oftheir popularity.
OF course exceptions must be made OF
George Washington and Andrew
Jackson, for people have not quit
naming their boys after these illustri-
GUS men to this day
For instance, here is the name OF
w. II. III. Johnson-William Henry
Harrison was elected President in
1886, consequently Mr.. johnson is
about 53 years old. Here is W. Scott
Smith-Winfield Scott ran for Presi-
dent in 1862. Smith is therefore
about 81 years old. The next name
on the list is A. L. North-Abraham
Lincoln waselected President in 1860
Mr. North is therefore about 2Syears
old. Now take the next-M f. Smath-
ers. Willard Fillmore was n candidate
for President in 1856. NJ. +. Smath-

Mistakes of Near Sighted Men.

Lawyer Ashley, of New York, was
telling Judge Day a story of Daudet,
the novelist, who is extremely near
sighted. The story ran thus: Daudet
visited some place in which were kept
many animals. He sauntered slowly
about peering into their cages until
he came to secluded spot where a
furry object, not in u cage, attracted
his attention. "Ah!" said the dis
tinguished Frenchman, "this must be
tame bear" And, taking some
cake from his pocket he flung it with
'"There, old fellow" straight into
the face of a Russian nobleman who,
enveloped in his sables, had stopped
to look at the bears near by. imag-
inc his anger and surprise. Daudet
apologies, etc, etc, etc.
The Judge listened intently, but
after the lawyer had finished he said
gravely:

of that in the way ofmistakes caused
by nearsightedness.

had broken his glasses and was al
most feeling his way along, when he
became conscious of somebody walk

gown, wearing a wrap about her
shoulders, one end of which trailed
down behind her. She walked so
heavily that my friend began to think
that, though short, she must be ex-
ceedingly stout. A few steps more
and the wrap touched the ground
and dragged in the mud. This was
more than his gallantry could stand,

approached the house.
As she passed in at the door the
light in the hall fell upon the tall prim

Bowles. Madame Dumasque's maid,

landlady of The Blackthorn," the
chief hotel in the village, had caught

were set in hard, cruel lines and her
light blue eyes glittered. She was a
plain woman with fair colorless face;
but her hands were perfect in shape,

A Cannabal Tribe King

By the death of Richard w. jackson
at Bath, Me-, sailor boy, king of 6
cannibal tribe and Arctic explorer, the
most romantic career ever lived by q
Maine man ends. Jackson was born
in Bath and during his early childhood
was noted for the many narrow es,
capes he had. Once when in his teens
he was struck by lightning and re-
manned paralyzed for "a hours.
In 1888 he was wrecked in the
schooner Rainier, Capt. Morrison, or
the coral reef near Ujae, in the south
Pacific. In the little schooner of 15C
tons, built on the cannibal isle from
the timbers of the wrecked ship, the
captain, accompanied by jackson as
first officer, left to obtain suitable pro-
visions with which to return to the
island, where the captains sick daugh.
ter and her husband were left to avail,
them. On the second day out the cap,
tain was stricken with paralysis, and
jackson navigated the vessel to Jaluit,
one of the isles of the Marshall group
where provisions were obtained from
white cut-throats, who held the
schooner for security.
After many perilous adventures,
jackson arrived alone at Ujae, with
relief for those left behind, only to
find "a letter from Capt. Morrison an.
nouncing the arrival of a United
States war ship and the rescue of him.
self and party. This letter jackson
read to the king of of Ujae as stating
that the king must treat jackson well
or the war ship would return and
"bombom" (bombard) the island,
Jackson's wit saved his life, for the
king who was anxious to go to an ad-
jacent island for some savage festival,
made our Bath boy temporarily king
of the island.
For 30 days jackson, king of Ujae,
held his lonely court on the island
beach, guarding his provisions and
hoping aid would come. A crew oil
white wreckers arrived and to them
jackson sold, for about $500, the rest
of the cargo and wreck and with them
returned to Jaluit, whence he worked
his way to Frisco where he delivered
his hard-earned $500 to the owners
agent and was rewarded with S75 for
his endeavors.
After being washed overheard in
rounding Cape Horn, he for two years
sailed to the northern seas and was
noted for his feats of daring. Then
he became a steamboat man, rose to
be third officer OF the City of Pekin,
one of the largest steamers ahoat, and
was steadily mounting up when he wa
knocked down by u runaway horse
while ashore on u vacation and killed.
He was only 80 years old.
