SO II was with King David.
He was now king over a united
kingdom. II would seem that
now he might rest content and
take his ease. But Just at that
moment when the temptation
was upon him to enjoy the lux.
ury which was at his command,
there rose up a foe to trouble
him. The Jebusites who In
habIted a stronghold Of Zion,
and controlled all the rich coun-
try about, had become specially
aggressive and sought by every
means In their power to annoy
him. n the confidence Of the
people and the men In his army
was to be retained he must con-
quer the Jebusites and capture
their stronghold. Conscious Of
all this, he entered resoIuteiy
upon the campaign, and In the
face Of seemingly insurmount-
able obstacles and dangers he
won a victory which crowned
him with glory and gave to his
nation tho mountain height on
which Jerusalem was built, that
famous city Of sacred and pro-
fame history.
Progress means effort, and o.
fort Involves varying degrees Of
hardships, privatlons, dangers,
conflicts. The man who would
reach the heights must climb,
and to climb means hard work,
hard knocks, and untold dan
gers, but how glorious ls the
reward as the heights are gain

vision breaks In upon the eye.
1t is worth all Il cost.

the foe which is offering him
battle. Yea, the enemy from
the stronghold may cast ridicuIe
and contempt upon him, he may
defy him, he may declare that
the stronghold Is impregnabIe,
but let courage and patience
mark the conflict, victory shall
come and blessing flow not
only to the victor himself, but
to those about.

1901, ,f56. immigrants last year more
than ten per cent were over the ags
limit and great proportion brought
their wives. About so per cent. may
be classed as workers. But In another
sense they were all workers. There
were no idlers. scarcely one who
would shifk his duty And as to their
morality. the average IL certainly
good. These immigrants are placed
upon a probation for three years.
Should they get into trouble In this
time they are liable to be deported.
Last year there were for all causes
less than 1900 deported. question
II our native born population can show
better record.
The modern immigrant Of to-day. II
seems to me, Is greatly misunderstood.
We have great deal of talk about
the menace OF the immigrant from the
south OF Europe. A few decades ago
most Of the immigrants came from
Ireland. while Germany ranked second
and Great Britain third. Italy and
Russia sent comparatively few. To-
day the situation Is practically re-
versed. Last year we received $4,000
from Italy, 10000 from Russia and
but $4,000 from Ireland and 10000
from Germany. From Austria and
Hungary some $4,000 reached our
shores. It is unfair to say that the
north of Europe is no longer repre-
sented. But are the immigrants from
the southern countries dangerous or
undesirable? The statistics of crime
do not prove 1t. The Italian Is hard
worker. We should remember that
the Latin people were highly civilized
when the north of Europe was peo-
pied with savages. The southern
countries may not have progressed OF
late, but the impulse is still there. and
with unlimited opportunities Of Amer
lea before them who can tell what
they may not accomplish in the fu-
ture?
AZ to Paupes Labor.
A great deal of the misunderstand-
ing Is due to the use of that term pau
per labor. I have estimated tnat
every immigrant in coming to Amer
lea spends on an average from $50 to
500 for transportation. This includes
his fare from his home to the point OF
departure, the crossing Of the Atlantic
and the railroad fare to his destina-
ton. In other words, they. spend up
ward of 500, 900 year in search
Of work. Let us suppose, for sake OF
argument, that Russia suddenly held
out great opportunities for money
making so that Americans by the mil
lion were attracted there. 1t seems to
me that 100000 native born citizens
might have some difficulty in raising
500 900 for transportation. And
in addition this army Of incomers car
ried with them more than 100000 900
in cash.
There is, of course, urgent need OF
the restriction of immigration. but
such restriction Is already In force.
The laws governing the situation are
very rigid; they have been devised by
intelligent men, familiar with the sit
uation, working in sympathy with
these people as well as in the best in
terests of the country. And the laws
are being enforced. AS the need for
further restriction occurs 1t will re-
ceive due attention. Meanwhile the
demand for laborers throughout the
country is very urgent. The immi-
grants are adding hundreds of mil
lions of dollars to the wealth OF
America, while they help themselves
to a broader and more prosperous life.

"Gumerlidge isn't a man I've a

citizen with the protruding waistband.

asked the thin man with the bushy
black beard. Il never heard of any
body who had any particular fault to
find with Gumerlldge. 1 think he's
one Of the finest fellows that ever
stepped. I've known him for twenty
years and I've never seen anything
wrong with him.

the citizen Of circumference. Still, l
should think you'd have got sick of

"Sick OF what?"
"Taffy. soft soap, f1attery; that's
what l mean. That's what l don't like
about him. He puts 1t all over you
with a spade. That sort of thing sick

II didn't notice him putting 1t all

as he generally Is with everybody, but

"Well, I'm not generally regarded as

A Pfcked-Up Living.

A convict's complacent acceptance
of lifes possibilities is shown in a
dialogue between the criminal and
Captain Spencer, senior missionary of
the English Church Army. To a ques-
ton of the captains as to what he did
when out of prison, he replied:
"Well, in spring does a bit Of pea
picking, and in the summertime l
does a bit of fruit-picking, and in the
autumn does a bit of hop-plcking."
"Oh!" said the captain. "What hap
pens after that?"
"Well. now, mister" replied the con-
vict, ''I may as we'll be honest. and
tell you that in the winter time l does
bit of pocket-picking

amazement, asking finally, and what
happens thenT'
The convict answered laconicaIIv.

advice is given that it is better
