a typical New Hampshire farmer,
with costume of blue flannel shirt,
trousers tucked into bis high boots,

his family has settled down, "far
from the madding crowd to eat
bread and milk and berries, TO follow
the stream with rod and fly, to rake
the new mown hay and TO do all the
other stunts of farmer in embryo.
Surrounded by his family he has
cast all cares aside and is enjoying
in full the invigorating New Hamp-

When (B c. 40ll after heroic struC-
gle Athens. the City of the Violet
Crown was captured by Jysander
there were not wanting clamorous
voices to urge that the city whose lust
for empire had brought such woes on
Greece ought to be laid level with the
ground
The Spartan general at first lent
willing ear to his powerful allies, but
while the council was still debating
this momentous issue a plaintive voice
was heard from the city walls chanting
those noble lines from the Electra" Of
Europidcs, that most human of the
poets of Greece. in which the heroine
contrasts her fallen lot with the splen-
did exploits of her father who had dis
mantled the towers Of Troy.
Lysander bent his head and pondered
on fortunes cruel reyerses. Trium-
plant rs Agamemnon. who could tell
but that he might be reserved for fate
as cruel? The lesson of moderation
was accepted Athens was saved

Some immigration Evils.

Chicago Record-Hcrad
+ OF the immigrants who landed at
the port Of New York during the SIX
months from January TO June oSO,
have already become public charges
in New York City, according to the
statement Of Commissioners General
Sergeant Of the bureau of immigra-
ton. This single fact, unsupported
by any other, should be Sufficient TO
make it clear that the hospitality
which the United States offers to
aliens is being abused, and that the
time for stricter laws has come.
But this fact is merely straw
floating on the surface. The 5eo pup
lie charges are but handful among
the hordes of undesirables who have
managed TO slip through the bars.
Commissioner Sergeant is now max
ing an investigation into the number
of aliens detained in the penal re-
formatory and charitable institutions
Of the country. and already he is said
to have learned enough to make him
confident that bis report on the sub
iect will startle the country.
The immigration inspectors ale
doing everything in their power to
enforce the existing laws against
pauper, diseased and vicious aliens.
They deported S,769 aliens last year.
Bat against the operations OF many
agencies interested only in the quaG-
tity and not at all in the quality Of
the immigrants they often find them
selves powerless.
What Inspector Braun learned
about the forcing process applied to
Immigration in Hungary and Gro
alta we were told little while ago.
Now from the report of inspectors
who have been working in Philadel-
phia we learn of the existence Of II
wholesale trade in fraudulent natur-
alizntion certificates. These forged
papers are sold in Europe to pros
pective emigrants. who are helped
by them both to gain admittance to
the country and to secure Illegal
privileges after they have entered.
The problem Of Americanizing the
hundreds of thousands Of intelligent
and capable foreigners who come to
US is great enough as it Is. The addi-
ton of the uudesirables is n wholly
unnecessary burden. and Congress
should provide the mechanism to
stop 1t. Even though the cost Of in
spection be greatly increased the ex-
pruditure would surely be profitable
in the long run.
Mineral Point tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1869-1938, 1903-07-30

The late Justice Carter Of the SUI
prcme court of the District of Column
bia used to relate an incident of a Phil
adeIphia man who called at The White
House so frequently and took up so
much of President Lincolns time that
the latter finally lost his patience. One
day when the gentleman was particu-
larry verbose and persistent and re-
fused to leave, although he knew that
important delegations were waiting,
Lincoln arose, walked over to q ward
robe in the corner OF the cabinet cham
Der and took bottle from shelf.
Looking gravely at his visitor, whose
head was very bald, he remarked:
Did you ever try this stuff for your
hair"
NO, sir; never did"
well" remarked Lincoln, Il sdvise
you to try it, and | will give you this
bottle. If at first you don't succeed
try, try again. Keep it up. They say
it will make hair grow on n pumpkin.
Now take it and come back in eight or
ten months and tell me how it works.
The astonished Philadelphia left the
room instantly without a word, carry
ing the bottle in his hand, and Judge
Carter, coming in with the next dele
cation, found the president doubled up
with laughter at the success Of his
strategy, Before he could proceed to
business the story had to be told
