down the gang plank. The greetings were
enthusiastic and hearty. lie had already
been examined and had secured his papers
giving him admttancc to the United
States Now he wished to bring his sister
with him. They wanted to see the doctor
as the examiners OF immigrants are ca He'd
by the foreigners. While discussing the
matter a stranger came to them and upon
learning their wants said he was ono of
the doctors and could fix them up, SO for
$40 ne wrote the girls name on the ccrtifi-
cate which had been given Gauowsky and
