Pauper Immigrants, for Whom There is
Nc Relief
WASHINGTON, May 6.-Secretary Fos-
ter has approved the action of Col.
Weber, superintendent of immigration
at New York, in declining to afford as
sistance to Rebecca Cohen and her five
children from the immigrant fund.
Secretary Foster takes the position that
to pay her expenses out of the lmml-
grant fund would be to encourage pau
pers to come to this country, when the
law was enacted for the express pur-
pose of preventing their coming. The
case was called to Secretary Fosters
attention by Mr.. Elbridge, the presi
dent of the society for the prevention
of cruelty to children.
The facts show that the Cohen family
was sent to this country by the London
Hebrew society, which paid their pas
sage and gave them S25 Soon after.
their arrival in New York the father
deserted his family and they were
elected from their lodgings for failure
to pay rent The mother appealed to
the local authorities, who in turn sent
them to the federal authorities.
Superintendent Weber reported that
he could do nothing in the matter.
The old law under which they arrived
did not, he said, give him authority to
compel the steamship company to re-
turn them to England. The new law
went into effect April l, but unfortu-
nately the Cohen family arrive prior to
the 1st of April, and the only means at
his disposal was the immigrant fund
and he declined to use it for this pur.
pose.

Religion Is "Just Hummin' " There.

Fact was they wa'n't 'nough of 'em bime-by to pass the plate, and when twas passed tn want nathin' in it. So fin'ly we noticed the young fel- lers d kinder come around 'baout benedic- tion time, an set on the stoop an wait for the gals to come aout. Wal, we've got some mighty purity gals in aour town, eff 'tis little.
 "So bime-by somebody suggested th' idee that we have the gals take up the co1lec- tiop. Some was fur it an' some was agin it, but fn'ly we carried our point, and three O the gals said they was willin'. Wal, O course, we didn't let on. We kep' quiet about it, and the fust Sunday when them gals walked up the aisle aq' begun passing the plate you'd o4ghter seen some eyes stick aout. They was one or two young fellers in there, an meetip' wasn't aout afore they was tellin' everybody in the neighborhood. Wal, at eyenin' meet in' the church was full to bustin'. I'd never a-believed it if I hadn't a=seen lem with my own eyes, that they was so many young fellers in aour taown. An how they did shell out the money! Law sakes! Wal, we've paid off the mortgage on the church, an paid the parsons salary plum up in money an thet's suthin' we ain't never done afore, an every Sunday the meetin' is chuck full and religion is just a-hummin' in aour taown.

About 8 Child's Reading.

I do not think it is very serviceable to make a list of books for children to read. No two have exactly the same aptitudes, tastes or kinds of curiosity about the world, and one story or bit of information may excite the interest of a class in one school, or the children in one family, which will not takefat all with others. The only thing is to take hold somewhere and to be- gin to use the art of reading to find out about things as you use your eyes and ears. Charles Dudley Warner in St. Nicholas.
