allow ed a European power to take the
initiative in forwarding the recognition of
Japan as a fully civilized sovereign power.
This occurred through no lack of a desire
on the part Of Japan to accord us first
place in such negotiations, and. in fact. a
mutual effort to arrange q new treaty has
been making for the past ten years. This
would undoubtedly have been successful
and the United States would have pre-
ceded Great Britain in cementing the
friendship Of japan by wiping out the OBJ

The Immigration Question.

The most important Of these was the
question of immigration, which has become
of oversbadowing Importance in the United
States just now. Certain western Senators
have looked with apprehension upon the
possibility of an invasion of Japanese
coolies, bringing with them questions of as
grave importance us the Chinese cheap la
Dor problem. In all probability, there was
little to be feared from this source, but
pressure was so strong, it is said, that tn 2
state Department was obliged to yield and
to require that in the new treaty there
should be included some safeguards upon
the japanese immigration. The Japanese
government has not been unwilling to con-
sent to this, but the difficulty SO far has
a shape satisfactory to both countries.

PATRICK AND THE PIGEON.

Patrick Walters is seven years old. He
has no parents, no brothers or sisters, no
home; but he has love in his heart, for
he loves dumb animals. He had no friend
SO close as pet pigeon. With that in his
arms he crept into an inclosure under a
sidewalk, and with the pigeon in his
bosom slept through a cold and frosty
night.
The coo of the pigeon was heard in
early morning by one of Chicago's big
policemen, who unearthed Patrick, and at
once carLed him off to prison. In the
Police Court that day all that was said to
the little waif was: Guilty or not
guilty?" The boy only answered with
tears and sobs and cries for his pigeon.
Whereupon the court sent him up, after
considering his case five seconds, on a
charge of burglary o. and the pigeon was
flung out at the window to find someone
else to love and cherish it, while the
weeping boy was locked in big cell with
criminals of the lowest grade, that he
might be taught their arts.
Patrick made great mistake by being
born, and greater one still in being
born in Chicago. He is a child of the
slums, it is true, but still not bad boy
especially; indeed. it is admitted that he
is better than the environment out of
which he came. When he went to sleep
beneath the sidewalk on Sunday evening
with his pigeon in his bosom, the church
bells were ringing in his ears, calling
the people to listen to the story of Him
who said, "As ye do it unto one of these
little ones 80
But Chicago is not in the business of
saving children and making good men
and women of them. In that city of
homes and the Worlds Fair, when hu-
man being reaches the mature age Of
seven he must take all the consequences
of being born in the slums and loving a
dove and sheltering it in his bosom from
the nipping air of Lake Michigan. Such
incorrigibles are not to be treated as tim

HARPER'S
Pictorial History
or THE
Civil w ar.

This great book has sold for years
at SIG to $50 in two big volumes.
The pages are 164xII3 inches.
There are 832 pages. Lots of maps
and sketches, and one big colored
map 23x33 inches.
People wanted them, but couldn' t
afford SIC and kept asking for the
old "Harper's Weekly during the
War" After the pictures had been
put into this big, new, complete his
tory, the old Weekly plates were de-
stroyed and now those files are scarce.
But the big history was so inter-
esting, and, being compiled from all
the official records, was so COM
plete and valuable that thousands
bought it.
Now it is all cut up and everybody
is getting it and being surprised.
1t is made into 20 big parts, 81
big pages in each, and printed on
nice supercalendered paper-better
than ever before-and has a hand
some buff cover with emblematic de-
sign on each part.
The parts have sold as high as 81
each, but can be got for only 8 cents
each if you know how. The
pictures alone are worth more than
that, but the story and copies OF
many official documents and state
papers of priceless historic value, all
go in with the pictures.
