the sheep as profitable to pay off past

At present prices hogs and cattle

sheep would but take third place on

there have been times when sheep have
been profitable. Yet this all depends up

sTEERAGE PASSENGERS.

Immigrants FOR America Arc Looked
Upon MS Cargo.
One of the biggest liners sailing out
of France, with 500 steerage passen-
gers aboard, was selected for observing
the manner of handling steerage pas
sengers bound for America.
A firm conclusion reached after the
experience of that trip is that an immi-
grant of this class has to put up with
nuch unnecessarily unpleasant treat
ment-first, simply because he is an
immigrant and therefore in Judgment
meriting 1t, and, secondly, because, be-
ing what he is, he has not yet learned
to protect himself. The picture con-
| jured up by the term "immigrant'' in
the minds of those who have their care
en- route is not at all the color of the
word. Here In America we have a
notion Of band of earnest and, 1t may
be, If we are uncharitable, worn and
unwashed men and women with fam

Ing here; to glorious young country,
where all men are free and equal and
all that sort of thing. But the man
who has to see that these immigrants
are given food and bunk ana that they
do not fall sick below has no such
fancies. His sympathy, he will tell
you, is not for the immigrants, but for
the country that is to get them.
Those in charge of the immigrant
from southern Europe will tell you that
he is not Il desirable creature. They
have handled many, many thousands

something of him now. The company

that he is freight, freight of good

CAUGHT IN HIS OWN TRAP


A German Hotel Keepers Opinions
on Hothcaded Peoples.
II think that the Americans are alto
gether too quick TO pick Il quarrel"
said German hotel keeper in Harlem
who had just had II petty tussle in put
ting out an unwelcome customer.
"They are not to be compared with
the French" said an American lawyer
who happened to drop in. why, you
know about those French apprentices,
how they are always ready to fight
and often lose their lives over few
words"
I've heard about these apprentices" ;"
said the German. I'VE have them in
our country. They roam around the
country. But what of that?"
YES" was the answer. "a party of
them, with a leader and representing
some craft, will, for instance, meet an
other party of apprentices. They are
organized into different societies, each
intensely Jealous of the other, and If
two such bands are different societies
there is fight in an instant. First the
leatlerS Colue W ploWs, anu tnel tIe
melee becomes general. They fight
with fists and sticks until the road is
Uttered with the wounded and some
times the dead"
The German not to be outdone by
the French, said before he had thought
twice: That's nothing. Why, our stu
dents in the universities have fights.
They belong to different societies and
fight with sabers. Because of some lit
tie insult often one will have his head
fairly cut Open"
"And yet you complain about the
Americans" said the lawyer as he
laughed to see how the German had
stepped into his own trap.-New York
Tribune.
