The stranger is the benetactor

the stranger. Inc stranger Is the benetactor
Ta'-e our own history IN illustration OF this
fact. Montgomery, an lrtshman, died for US
at the ga tes OF Quebec, Kosciusko at Savannah,
and the great Hamilton was horn in the West
Indieg You and should have no preiudices
against the stranger. Washington was aided
by strangers in organizing his patriot army.
We should have no preJudices against the
stranger but we should demand of the
stranger one thing, and thati that he should
be an AR erican continued applause1; that ne
should diffAentiste himself from all other
nations on the face OF the earth. We demand
of the German that, though born In Germany,
he should cease TO be German and become an
American. We demand OF the Irishman that,
though born in Ireland-dear old Ireland
IIaughterl, the best country in the world TO
emigrate from [Iaughterl, he should cease to
be an Irishmau and become an American. The
same of the Italian and the Frenchman
would have this fusion of races into one

How richly providence has blessed us be-
yond other nations of the earthl 1t is not pos
sible to consider this point in a decade or
cycle. We must sweep through the majesty of
one hundred years. Take century, and see
how this Nation has been developed and how
our influence has been controlling the nations
of the world. Catherine III OF Russia put out
the light OF liberty in Poland and carried her
despotism into Turkey and Persia. To-day
Russia is the most splendid European country,
largely so becsuse she is not understood, but
if you examine her today, with her temples of
learning. her temples OF justice and her
houses of mercy, with Queen on the throne
examine her magnificent army, you will agree
with me that Russia is great power.
Pass to Germany, where about.100 years ago
Frederick the Great was the throne

be despised-we find the lower house of the
German Parliament composed of citizens

Six hundred happy little ones, ranging

Holy Family Convent, corner of Hayes
and Fillmore streets, yesterday afternoon
to eat and enjoy Thanksgiving dinner
prepared for them by the sisters.
Exactly at 2 O'Clock the little ones
marched to the refectories two by two,
their little toddling feet keeping good
time to the march played on the piano by
Mrs. A. B. Collins. The children were as
we'll drilled and orderly as an army of
soldiers, rejecting great credit upon the
good sisters. The latter had every reason
to be proud OF their charges and more

Amputated His Leg.

Frank Knor, boy eight years of age,
living with his parents at 1907 Devisadero
street, met with a sad accident last even
ing. He and another boy were stealing a
ride on a sand wagon, and when on Fulton
street. near Devsadero, Knor jumped off.
In doing so his right foot caught in the
spokes of the wheel and was badly crushed
before the wagon was stopped.
The boy was taken to The Receiving
Hosrital, where il was found that both
bones of the right leg near the ankle were
so badly crushed that DR.. We'll considered
amputation necessary. The bov was put
under anesthetics and the operation per-

autopsy will be held at the Morgue.
Lighted cigarettes were distributed the

The animals puffed away at the weed with
evident enjoyment until the advent of the
keeper, who put stop to it.

A QUEER rILE-pRIvER.


From the San Francisco Can.f
One Of the queerest and most primitive
pile-drivers to be seen IN California is at
one of the Chinese fishing camps on the
McNear ranch. almost opposite the Two
Sisters, in San Pablo bay The appear
ance Of the confluence Is much like the
pilo-drlvers in general use. but the way Il
Is put together and operated is ludicrous,
Every part Of the machine is made of
wood except the nails that hold II together.
The hammer Is part Of a log. Il Is about
two feet thick and hYe feet long. IL IS
placed between the uprights and kept
from falling uut BY several wooden pegs
driven In on both sides The rprights are
made Of some old seanillug picked up on
the bay shore. and are nailed and tied to-
sether and braced with odd pieces OF lum-
Der.
The operating machinery is about as
complicated as a grinestone. All there
is 70 It Is a couple OF pulleys. hook ana
piece of rope. one pulley-bloek Is sus-
pended from the top OF the upright frame
and the other is allowed 10 hang loose.
When working the machine a piece OF
rope is run through a hole In the top Of the
wooden hammer, and the hook on the
lower pulley block + slipped through All
hands then pull until the hammer reaches
the top. Al this interesting part Of the
performance a man climbs to the top OF
the uprighls and With knife cuts the
ropf that Is run through the top OF the
Ii Is certainly effective, for the pile is
driven a good defiance into the soft mud
Al each blow. The process Of tying the
hammer 10 the puiiey-block and cutting
Il bose after Il reaches The top Is repeated
until the pile Is driven as deep as Is
wanted
