shipload after shipload Of immigrants
are pouring into the ports Of the United
States daily and it is the great wonder
what becomes Of all Of them. As Mrs.
Mary Liyermore said in her lee IRE ia this
city Thursday evening thers are eight Or
morevessels now On the way to Boston, each
carrying 1000 implgfants They land at
Boston, some are met BY friends and in
almost no tire at all they are scattered.
Mrs. Liyefmore confessed that she did not
know what becomes Of them. The most
plausible accounting, and the accounting is
ALSO borne out by statistics, Is that large
part Of these immigrants are spreading
out into the more thinly settled sections Of
the country and are retaining the farms
which have long since been deserted BY
their former Yankee owners Gradually
the Yankee farmer is being superseded by
the immigrant farmer. This condition is
more noticeable in the states which are
more closely connected with the seacoast.
But even in Vermont It is easy to see that
the farmer is as often Of foreign birth as
he is Of native birth. Clarence Deming
writing in the Independent says .swedes,
Italians, German and Irishmen are Begin
ming 70 reclaim these old farms, and they
are doing well on them by enduring the
same sort Of privations and practising the
same economies which were incidents Of
the Yankee farming Of the old days" Mr..
Deming further says that the task of re-
generation Of the New England farm will
be slow and painful, and naturally there
will be dread Of the new corners as aliens
In race and habits There win be many
reactions and readiustments al the old
blood flows out and the new blood flows
Ia, and an extensive material uplift Of the
farm, wrought out BY muscle, brain work
and rigid self denial must preeede the re-
finements and virtues Of thenew composite
farm race. Mr. Deming thinks, however,
that the satisfactory development Will
come n the end.

The bear has thrown the dragon down
And spreads his jaws to bite:
The screaming eagle whirls aloft
In puzzled, angry flight;
The maddened lion stalks around
In an uncertain way.
While all Of them look to the sun
For an enli6htning ray.
IN olden time there was d tale
Of how the suns mild beam
HAD more Of power 81 itself
Than at the first did SEEM
The fierce wind could not from a man
Remove his coat so warm,
But soon the sun made him decide
To shift 1t to his arm
There's some Of this in Mantehoo land;
That's why the eagle scars.
And that's Why round the Russian bear
the lion stalks and roars.
The eagle and the lion are
The strength Of Japan's sun;
Resistance now from yellow Sol
Means that the bear must run.
For, II he stops to argue long,
The air Will grow SO hot
He'll wish that he were far away
In his col, native spot,
And ere he does make sore escape
Whence greed caused him to roam
The bear, unlike the man, may have
No coat to carry home.
