Whatever may be said of the evils of
.mmieration. il is a fact hat many inn
migrants who aM from foreign shores
20 this country to live, pick up the
IDEAS. language and methods of doing
business in the United States with great
rapiditv. An example Of this is fur
nished by the itinerant vendors of flow
ers, bananas, dates, s%uspenders and
other articles, who are especially nu-
merous around the City Hall Park and
the entrance to the bridge, says a New
York paper. They are forbidden by
law to occupy II place for any length
of time, and the approach of a police
man always means a general moving
among the vendors, most of whom are
Italians and Greeks, who have not been
in this country long.
When one of the crowd sees q blue
coated officer hurrying toward him with
mischief in his eye, instead of warning
his comrades in his native tongue to de-
camp, lie calls out Cheese 'um." This
is as near as he can get to the express
sion of Cheese it," which he has
picked up from the street Arabs.
People who do business with newly
arrived immigrants also notice how
quick they begin to Americanize. This
tendency, in fact, causes no little incon-
venience to the cashiers of savings
banks, which have many immigrants
among their depositors. Some of the
larger institutions of this Kind have many
hundreds Of depositors, and it is neces-
sary to exercise the greatest care in
seeing that the signatures on orders or
checks for money are exactly the same
as the one which is keptton reference.

he came into the spirit world. and there
saw four men in the greatest distress
hanging by their feet from the Dough of

Rats were gnawing at the ropes which

momentary expectation Of being dashed
to pieces. Entering into conversation
with them, he found that they were his
father, grandfather, etc, doomed thus
to suffer because their descendant had
refused to marry and provide n who

MAJOR OGDEN died at Fort Riley,

moved to Fort Leavenworth and buried
in the national cemetery there, but his
monument still stands upon a little
knoll to the northeast Of the fort, and it
lifts its head toward the clouds in the
exact geographical center of the United
States. OF the thousands of men who
have been located at Fort Riley during
the past thirty years, perhaps not one
in q hundred knew OF cared about the
oddity of his situation. The post is q

good story from q companion when sud-
denly the laugh died away and a grim
silence and soberness crept over the

dow explained the sudden change.
There lay before us tho soft, green sur
face of the Sister cemeteries. Grave
stones, slabs and monuments thrust
their cold, hard surfaces into solid
