The Story of the steerage.

officer of Cunard steamship, "between
the appearance of Storage passengers re
turning to Europe and those coming to
America,
"Qn the westward voyage the faces of
the immigrants are bright with expectancy
and hope, Some Of them have doubtless
lain awake at night dreaming Of the new

inspired by the roseate visions painted for
them by their friends or relatives who
have succeeded on this side of the water
Those who go back TO stay are not many.
You can pick them out by their detected
looks. They have not succeeded. They
have found that hard work Is just as peoes-
sary to get along in the States as it is in
Europe.
"The great majority of the immigrants
stay. From my observations for the last
10 years aboard ship think am compe-
tent to say that America gets the very best

the principal roads WERE to an ex-
tent, antagonizing each other when
ever the opportunity offered. Latest
developments III this connection is
the withdrawal of the joint coal
tariffs which have existed between
the Lehigh Valley and Jersey Cen
tral. 1t is understood the latter took
the initiative in the matter, inform
ing the Lehigh Valley that, after a
certain date, said to be April 1, the
joint tariffs on coal between the roads
would no longer apply, with the ex-
ception of the Long Branch divisions.
This means that the Jersey Central
wants its own territory to itself, and
the only way by which the Lehigh
Valley will be able to ship coal into
the territory would be at rate al
most prohibitory. The action is
similar to that taken by the Reading
over year ago with reference to its
Philadelphia trade, and is futher
loss of territory to the Lehigh Valley

IT is EASY TO TELL.

People who fail to look after their health
are like the carpenter who neglects to sharpen
his tools. People are not apt to get anxious
about their health soon enough. If you are
''not quite wellr or "half sick' have you
ever thought that your kidneys may be the
cause of your sickness
1t is easy 10 tell by setting aside your urine
for twenty four hours a sediment or settling
indicates an unhealthy condition of the
kidneys. When urine stains linen it is
evidence Of kidney trouble. Too frequent
desire to urinate, scanty supply, pain or dull
ache in the back is also convincing proof
that the kidneys and bladder are ont of order.
There is satisfaction in knowing that the
great remedy DIR. Kilmer's Swamp Root, full
fills every wish in relieving weak or diseased
kidneys and all forms of bladder and urinary
troubles. Not only does Swamp Root give
new life and activity to the kidneys-the cause
of trouble, but by treating the kidneys it acts
as tonic for the entire constitution. If you

DO 1T YOURSELF.

You can tell just as well as a physician
whether your kidneys are diseased or healthy
The way to do is to take a bottle or glass tum-
bier, and fill it with urine. If there is a
sediment-a powder-like substance-at the
bottom after standing day and night, there
is something wrong with the kidneys. An
other sure sign of disease is desire to urinate
often, and still another sign is pain in the
back. If urine stains lincn there is no doubt
that the kidneys are affected.
Any and all diseases Of the kidneys, liver,
bladder and of the urinary passages aud con-
stipation of the bowels are cured by DR..

A story is told of the Prince de Cont,
whose reputation for cruelty stood high
He was going to mass with some ladies,
when his bailiff asked for instructions
concerning poacher who had just been
caught on the grounds
"Give him 100 stripes and imprison him
in dungeon for two years, was the an
ewer.
One lady, horror stricken, went to the
bailiff afterward but he only laughed in
ber face.
"The prince only said that to keep up
his reputation. His royal highness came
TO me directly after mass and begged me
TO see that the poor wretch was only sent
away from the neighborhood for two
months, and that his family was well look

CNAPPREclATED GIFTS.
Philanthropy That Was Inexplicable tc
Those Who Profited nv IT


A gentleman who gave six drinking
fountains to Boston in 1855 has had some
queer experiences in his attempts to give
like benefits to other places. He has busi-
ness interests in western city of large
size, and, as he realized the need there of
public drinking fountains, he went some
time ago to the mayor of that city to make
a formal offer Of gift of nine such foun.
tains. The mayor was more than sur.
prised and had long interview with the
would be benefactor, during which he
tired to discover his object in making the
gift. He failed to be impressed by the sim
pie statement that, beyond filling the pub
lie need of just such fountains, there was
no motive to prompt the offer. The mayor
was incredulous, and the generous Offer
was thought to be the harmless work of
q crank. Indeed the Boston man who
made the offer of the gift afterward heard
that the mayor had spoken of his "inter
view with a crank" to those whom he
consulted regarding the matter. 1t was
only after considerable persuasion and ex
ercise of diplomacy that his gift of the nine
fountains was accepted They have been
in position for some time now.
In another instance the same benefactor
uoted the noed of street signs in q town
which he from time to time visited. He
offered to furnish free several hundred of
those made of iron, and had difficulty in
making the gift acceptable Even after
this was brought about it was long time
before the town would stir itself to the
point of placing the signs in position. He
once gave a small library to a town which
had none, feeling that it would be an ex-
cellent nucleus from which to build up q
ba . l.,
books with some misgivings as to his san
ity apparently, SO unusual did it seem to
the town fathers to have IA stranger inter.
ested enough in their welfare to make SO
generous gift. The books, by the way,
were placed in room set apart for them
and then were practically let severely alone
by the people of the town, who failed to
realize the intended kindness to them

INDIANS DO NOT REGION HIGH.


How s34s Was "Hcap Plenty" In Settle
ment of Claim For $4,000.
1t Is not so easy now to cheat the In
dians in bargaining as it was In the days
when Manhattan Island was bought from
them for 1923. Their long intercourse with
the white men has taught them many
things about the value of their possessions,
and they arc pretty sharp in making the
ordinary trades which come up In their
daily life. Nevertheless it is still true that
when it comes to a question of largo sums
of money-thOusands or even hundreds of
dollars--the average Indian is bewildered
at the mere idea of so much wealth. An
incident which happened not long ago in
New Mexico illustrates this point.
An Indian, while crossing the tracks of
one of the railroads, had been killed by u
train. His squaw demanded So, 600 as an
indemnity for the loss of her husband, and
the company were willing to settle the
matter. So they sent to deal with the
squaw n man who had had considerable
experience in negotiating with the Indians
He took with him several bags of "dobe, "
or Mexican silver dollars, which pass freely
among tho Indians and settlers in that
part of the country. Sitting down gravely
with the aggrieved widow he began count.
ing out tho big shining dollars one by one
When the pile had reached 100 he glanced
inquiringly at the squaw. But she shook
her head firmly. The agent went on with
his counting. At the end of another 100
he looked up again. The squaw repeated
the negative shake of her head but her
eyes began to brighten at the heap of sill
yer. AT 300 the agent paused a little
longer. His customer still held out, though
with unmistakable signs of weakening.
The agent counted more slowly and i'm
pressiyely. When he reached S34S, the
squaw stopped his hand,
Heap plenty, heap plenty" she said,
with decision, and gathering up the silver
she accepted in perfect contontment this
settlement Of her claim for $4,000. O.-New
York Tribune.

EACH succeeding grand jury in this
county directs the attention of the
court to the large number of unnces-
sary petty cases returned to court,
and yet there seems to be no diminu-
tion of these cases. In Lawrence
county, however, things are different,
and much needed reform in this re
spect is enforced. The other day
Judge Wallace instructed the costs in
one of these petty Unnecessary cases
to be placed on the Justice of the
Peace who had returned it for the
manifest purpose of the fees that
were in it, That remedy will GER
tainly prove effective, and if the same
authority was exercised in Schuyl-
Kill county this unnecessary burden
upon the taxpayers would cease.

THE collapse of the wooden trestle
at Boston Run Junction ought to be
sufficient to convince the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad officials that the time
has come to dispense with wooden
structures of this kind. They are
dangerous to the public safety, says
an exchange. The Pennsylvania
Railroad Company appreciates al
this and have adopted policy tc
avoid just such accidents as occurred
at Boston Run. Sometime ago the
company decided to replace wooden
bridges with iron structures on all its
branches, and the work is being
pushed as rapidly as possible.
