stopped, for the Chinese wall is too
strong even for the Italians. On
the northwest the Ghetto creeps
along the shores of the bay to North
Beach and under the brow of Rus
sian hill. This is their only outlet,
but they are crowding the older set
tiers further outward, for no other
peoples will live where the Ghetto
extends it's lines. The Italians most
ly are engaged in the fruit and fish
%canneries and in fishing in the bays
and rivers. Also in the manufac-
ture of their favorite macaroni and
kindred dishes. In the canneries,
gardening, and fishing for salm-
on and shrimp, the Ghettoites
are strongly competing with the
Chinese and have practically monop-
olized these branches of industry.
Like the Chinese, the Ghettoites
do not assimilate with other races,
and hence are not as desirable citi-
zens, especially as comparatively lit
tie of the money they earn is invest
ed in this country. About 1000 of
these people are engaged in the fish
cry business in this city. From Fish

A KING cow
story of the Ruler of Italy and of
His Unassuming and Democratic


The king of Italy is one of the most
unaffected of monarchs, according to
Youngman's magazine, and it is said
hat he always carries with him his
simple and unassuming
A short time ago he was enjoying a
country walk nea Ruccarigo, and,
feeling very thirsty, he personally
asked a peasant woman, who was
milking a cow by her roadside cot
tage, for a glass of milk.
II can't give you this" said the
woman, not knowing who it was that
addressed her, "but 1 will fetch you
one from the house"
The king joyously agreed, and
minded the cow until she came back
with the promised milk. When she
returned, he asked her why no farm
hands were about.
They've all gone to catch a
glimpse of the king" she answered.
"Well little mother, you can see
him now" replied the king, "and
that, too, without leaving your
work"
At, this she laughed, thinking this
democratic, simple CARRIED stranger
was trying to jest with her. The
king laughed, too, as he saw how
she deceived herself. Then, pressing
a coin into her hand for the milk, he
sauntered off.

repar their catch of shrimp for

fish out. of season, where it is diff
cult for officers of the law to find
them. In this they are as shrewd as
the Chinese and are about as trou-
blesome to the fish commissioners.
The Ghetto is the oldest settled
portion of San Francisco. The town
was located at the base of the hill
near the shipping, while the Latin
element swarmed upon the hill. No
traces of the early town remain, but
the Ghetto is about as it was then,
only much more extensive. Here are
seen antiquated cottages, with high
pitched roofs, and overhanging caves
that nearly meet across the narrow
alleys and almost shut out the sun
light, doors below the level of the
streets, and others that are reached
by narrow rickety stairways, filthy
streets into which everything is
thrown, regardless of the menaces

from coming except in specified in

last fiscal year $4,000 Italian immi-
grants arrived in the United States
exceeding those of any other race.
The Ghetto of San Francisco is the
most extensive Latin settlement in
the United States, and the most
compact. The Ghetto is inhabited by
Italians, MeXicans, Spaniards, SiciI-
ians, Manila men, and a small sprink-
ling of French and Portuguese.
These Portuguese are from the Azore
islands, and the other classes of the
Ghetto draw a line of social distinc-
ton, which is undesirable to all save
the jewellers in the Ghetto. The
races of this Latin quarter live prac-
tically apart, each nationality having
it's separate section, yet all are
crowded within it's narrow limits
