NEW YoRk's HUNGRY HoRDEs

Commissioner General Sargent of
the bureau of immigration has re-
ceived letter from prominent New
York philanthropist. whose name he
cannot disclose. In which startling
portrayal of the poverty In the me
tropolis is given.
The letter says New York's proper
tion of the unemployed is the largest
i'm the country: that 100000 idle men
are in the city now, or 40 per cent
more than last year.
Fifty thousand children go TO
school breakfastless, which means
idle fathers" the letter declares. so
overwhelmed is the department OF
charities with tens OF thousands of
applications from men out of work
that. it finds itself unable to cope
w iththe situation. In short, the me-
tropolis this winter is facing prob
lem with regard to the unemployed
such as has never been known In past
years.
THE cause of this state of affairs
is of less moment now than the i'm
mediate problem of how to deal with
the multitudes OF unemployed. Nor
has the question here to do with ulti-
mate relief such as congress can pro-
vide by restricting immigration and
scattering immigrants.
'The immediate question then is
What can be done with the great ar
my of unemployed at once? This
/ question eliminates the unwilling anc
| the unable. whom we always have
with us, giving only the able ant
willing-the honest idle--mostly un'
I skilled labor, of course. How are We
to give practical relief to these? -
Mr.. Sargent considers the lettei
strong evidence that his plans to'
breaking up the alien colonies in th'
large cities should he carried out

NAPOLEoN'S ORDER.

In book published by DR.. Lud-
wig Buchner OF Berlin, Germany is
found the following touching anec-
dote:
"The horse" said Napoleon, "is the
link between the animal and God.
How do we know that the animals
have not language Of their own" /
think it very rash to deny it simply
because we do not understand it"
In the wars OF Napoleon an officer
named Lamont, in 4 hussar regiment
was several times saved in battle by
his horse. and out of gratitude took
more care Of the animal than of him
self. In 1909 Lamont was killed in
an engagement on the Danube, but
the horse would not quit the body.
and with teeth and hoofs kept off
every one who wished to remove II.
The matter was reported to Napoleon,
who gave orders to leave the horse
alone and watch him. According TO
the statement of the sentinel. the
horse remained with the corpse all
night and In the morning, having
snuffed it from head to foot uttered
pitiful cry galloped off to the river,
plunged In and was drowned.
Horace Vernet is said to have per-
petuated this horses memory in pic
ture.
