likes to talk of the sea or guns or en-

OYER MILLION IMMIGRANTS
The Greater Majority Of Them
Stopped In Six States.
Sargent Would Scatter the New
Corners, While Gompers Would
FELL Them TO Stay ut Home.

New York, Dec. s.--The statement
that owe a million immigrants have
come to the United States during the
past year, and that the south and the
west, the sections of the country which
needed and wished for these new citi-
zens did not get them, was made by
Frank P. Sargent, United States COM
missioner general of immigration, in a
speech before the National Civic Fed
Grafton meeting. Mr.. Sargent proposed
that the United States hereafter take
steps to distribute immigrants accord
ing to the needs of the country.
Il have just received a few figures"
he said. Showing where this immigra-
ton goes to. OF the 1925, 491 immi-
grants who arrived last year, New York
received 315,511; Pennsylvania, 210, 7O8;
Massachusetts,, 1880; Illinois, 72,770;
New Jersey, 57,358, and Ohio, 49,351.
Six states Of the union received 777,748
or 76 per cent. of the whole, which
gives the gentlemen from these states
some idea of how popular those states
are abroad and how rapidly they gained
last year."
Mr.. Sargent recommended that in
stead of having the majority of foreign
immigrants received at the port of New
York, as at present, efforts should be
made to have them enter at other sea-
ports.

RAILROAD MEN FIGURING.
May Fight the Reduction of Twenty
Per Cent. In Freight Hates BY
Illinois Board.

Chicago, Dec. 8.-Trafic officials of
the Illinois railways, with general Of
fees in Chicago, have begun a general
inspection of their books to learn
whether the systems for which they
work will be able to bear the burden of
the 20 per cent. freight rate cut ordered
by the railroad and warehouse COM
mission at Springfield. In a few days
it is expected the freight agents will
hold a meeting, compare notes and de-
eide whether they will appeal to the
courts or accede to the demands of the
commissioners. The latter course, it is
said, means a loss of $40, 900. 900 annual

Unrewnrded Kindness.

1t is possible to get into trouble
though n has the best and most be-

(Ky.) Herald tells of a young lady
whose kindly disposition received a
severe shock In church on a recent
Sunday evening. She sat directly be-
hind a tall, well-dres8ed stranger with
a travelling hanging on his collar, and
thought how glad she would be II
some kind-hearted girl would do as
much for her father were he to go
to church with a travelling hanging
down his back. So when the audience
rose for tho first hymn she concluded
to pick 1t off. Carefully raising her
hand. she gave a little twitCh, but it
vas longer than she supposed, and a
foot or more appeared. Setting her
teeth, she gave a pull, and about a
yard of that horrible thread hung
down his back. This was getting m
barrassing, but, determined, she gave
it another yank, and discovered that
she was %unrayeliug his undershirt.
Her discontinue was 50 painful that
chloroform would not have relieved
her sufferings nor a pint of powder
hidden her bushes when the gentle
man turned an inQuiring look to see
what was tickling his neck.
