SEEK COMING IMMIGRANTS.
Proposition In the South to Meet
Them Abroad.

From the Manufacturers Record.
We coneede the fact that the south needs
more labor especially In the cotton pro-
ducing districts. and the question follows,
how shall we go about getting this labor
labor that Will be acceptable and viii work
In the same spirit our southern labor Is
now working? The question IL difficult to
answer. for among the many devices that
are being practiced for the purpose OF at
tracing immigration south there appar-
emily should be some that are effective.
However. the cold fact that only Al per
cent of the immigrants to this country
came south in the past year reveals the
truth. and Indicates that we are not on the
right road yet
grant after he has landed on our shores
We must go back further and meet him on
his native heath, lay before his unbecIouded
mind the virtues OF the south along lines
that will interest each particular subject.
and then let the steamship companies do
tha rest by bringing those selected for the
south direct to southern ports.
New families who have no connections
in the north or west should be sought after,
and the best and most effective arguments
brought to bear on them It Ii apparent
that through our Atlantic and gulf ports
we must expect the power that promotes
progress and at the Same time we must
have an eye to the quality OF fhis power
and It's fitness to mingie with our own
.homespun' article and work In. harmony
and up to the same moral standard that
has been set by the host Of southern wage
earners and tfllers OF the soil who are maxi
ing their country prosperous and produc-
tive.
To,uhe immigration agent I win suggest:
SeiedN subjects abroad that viii suit the
south. buy their tickets to southern port
and intrust their welfare to thu southern
employer.

HOTEL KLEPToMANIA.
Women Principal Offenders--AnnuaI
Cost of Loot Heavy.

SOol o1 IoSt AASnSy'
From the New York Press.
1t is the fashion In our modern hotels to
write off $4,000 a year as the loss for
silverware and china taken by guests in
the course of twelve months. Many per-
sons will have souvenirs of their visits to
New York, and take spoons, knives, forks
and any sort of small ware they can slip in
their pockets. The craze has grown so
that the big hotel men now purchase cheap
hardware for the use of transient guests,
but the figures of loss run up in three of
the city hotels to the $4,000 mark The
women are blamed for this sort of theft
and the proof seems to be against them.
Probably the best-known hotel man In
the city said to me: I'VE know ii Is the
them are New Workers. When there is
big dinner at the hotel attended by women
as well as men We use a special set of
spoons and other tableware made at little
cost and stamped with the name of our
hotel. We lose one-third of them, but the
cost of late years Is figured in the din
ner at SO much per plate. The spoons don't
cost US cents each and are not much to
look at after one nights use. The knives
and forks are worth less than Is cents.
When we have a dinner exclusively for men
we put good plate on the table and don't
lose per cent of it, This good table serv-
ice is cut out at the mixed dinners.
Our greatest loss Is in the transient out
of-town trade. One-half the women must

dorf, or the Holland House. They seem to
think trip to New York is failure unless
they have few prizes to show. Many
women change about at the hotels. so as
to have collection of odd pieces. They
don't mind showing their country friends
the loot they have won In New York. 1t
Is not regarded as theft, but as a smart
fad, and / have yet to hear of one woman
denouncing the practice. On the ocean
steamship this souvenir business has grown
out of bounds. On one trip of a New York
liner to this side one-half the butter plates
and one-third of the spoons were out of
service before Sandy Hook was reached"

When Pigs Get Fat.
FIon Farming.

RON Farming.
One of the very necessary things to pro-
vide for the pigs during the hot weather is
a good shade where they may keep cool
during the heat of the day. II Is wen
known that hog cannot stand much heat,
for the reason that he cannot perspire like
most animals. and. therefore. cool place
must be provided for him. Natural shade
is of course. the best IL dense enough; the
darker the place for them during the heat
of the day the better. but there should be
good circulation OF air. Hogs seldom leave
the cool shade until toward evening. at
which time YOU will find them out grazing
like drove OF cattle. After the evening
feed of grain they will remain out till well
along In the evening. and the very first
thing In the early morning one viii md
them out grazing on the dewy grass. After
the morning feed they VIII go to their cool
shade and remain during the heat OF the
day. 1t is when lying in solid comfort that
they are adding the pounds to their weight
and making money for their owner.

ONE IMPRESSION OF IBsEN.
Liked a Glass of Whisky, Flowers and
American Women.

From Truth.
Ibsen, the son of Danish skipper who
retired from the sea to keep shop in
Norway and of German mother, had the
impulsiveness of one whose forebears had
drunk deeply of beer and ardent spirits.
He himself drank freely tbut not to the
tipping degree) of whisky. gin and grog.
1 saw him take in the coffee room of the
Grand Hotel, where he had a daily levee,
what may call a Scotch glass of whisky
neat. and In about three-quarters Of an
hour nip of gin. Most Norwegians of his
years would not have noticed these pota-
lions, and they did not affect the poets
head In the least. dare say that spirit
uous stimulant Embossed the ideas that had
been collecting in his head and enabled him
to make a satisfactory start In writing.
for he did not take up his pen to answer
letters until he had taken the pick-me-up
I noticed that he never took drinks with
Americans who had made his acquaintance
and that he preferred conversing with fair
Americans. They generally brought ftoW-
ers TO present to him on being introduced
or on introducing themselves.
Ibsen had no mock modesty IN receiving
these acts OF homage to his genius Garden
flowers, such as tea and La France roses,
are not to be had for the asking in Chris
tania, and should fancy must be imported

day OF my presentation followed the
American ladies In offering up a bouquet on
the altar OF genius-that is to say. on the
little table behind which he sat at the far
end of the coffee room of the GRAND Hotel.
AS an homme-pontin I thought him Inn
measurably below Victor Hugo, but still
extremely interesting and somehow UNI
common and striking, though he might
have been country lawyer, or a doctor. or
q minister, attentive to externals. carefully
dressed In superfins black cloth. with q
buttoned-up coat, which gave his small
figure a spruce appearance. and cravat.
immaculate in its whiteness and tied in q
perfect bow.
almost think he talked better than he
wrote. Speaking of women, he said that
In hide-bound community they rose far
higher in mind and spirit than the male
clods around them. They had always some
fresh or original ideas to bring out and
were really more inclined to heresy than
attached to orthodoxy, but were not pre-
pared to fight for what they preferred.
Their worst enemy was sentility. which
perverted the moral sense and placed mos
rality where 1t did not balong.
The French appeared to him In a better
moras condition than the English. There
was less seif-deception In France and far
wider practice Of austere and stoical virtue.

discard of the seven or above is almost sure
to be the beginning of reverse" In
no trumper discard first your weakest suit
and then your next weakest, telling your
partner the remaining suit is your strength.
In no trump hand the discard from
weakness aims to show your partner your
best suit by deduction. For example-your
partner is leading clubs, you discard first
heart and then q diamond; spades must be
your suit. Or your partner is leading
hearts; you discard spade and dummy
has strong suit of diamonds; clubs must
not be your suit. Before discarding always
note dummy's hand and aim to discard
from a suit in which dummy is not strong
as your partner won't lead what you dis
card and won't lead dummy's great suit,
so, therefore must come with yours.

No. II.
The Discard.

The most disputed point in bridge is the
discard. There are various methods used,
each having its advantages and adherents.
Adopt any one Of these different methods
and there will be occasional times when
some other method would have suited the
situation better. We must find the method
which will be advantageous in the majority
of instances; the one which is the least ar
bitrary and the most elastic.
The fundamental idea OF discarding in
bridge is to throw away worthless cards,
which are not needed for the protection OF
high cards. 1t is unwise to sblank' an
ace; that is, to throw away all the small
cards and leave the ace bare Should you
do so, 1t necessitates your play OF the ace
the first time the suit is led and you may
be obliged to overtake your partners trick.
1t is obvious that q king needs one guard,
queen two. and a jack three. A jack
even with but two guards is good suit to
preserve intact as two Of the higher honors
may fall on the first trick, leaving the jack
as second best guarded.
The principle OF protection must first
be needed. after that arises the secondary
and subordinate idea OF Information How
to suggest to your partner what suit You
would prefer to have led up TO YOU and
how not to help the adversary in his
illnesses.
In Declared Trump.
In a declared trump hand when you are
not protecting some high card. discard from
weakness thus saying to your partner. II

The Reverse Discard.

Getting the woman's Confession.

Having made our report to Washington,
we received Geographic orders to go ahead
and find the plant and place where the coin
had been made.
Fred and I then left for Norfolk. Va
Upon arrival there we proceeded to the
office of the express company that had car
rIed the packages to Selfridge.
A new receiving clerk had been there
for about month. They traced our mat
ter and found that the packages for Self
ridge had been shipped from the office d.
rect, but the clerk could not remember by
whom.
AS the shipper of the coin would be apt
to know that his confederates in New
York had been arrested, he would hardly let
himself be seen at the express Office. Wait
ing for him there would be long vigil. SO
we decided to return to New York and en-
