ping down the path, his jaws gripping
a dark, moaning bundle.

would now retire to the Jungle with his
victim, and that the occupants of the

free from danger. He ground his teeth

In the light Of the stars he saw the
beast shiver, drop the dark bundle,
which sped affrightedly away, and
then come toward him with bleeding,
blinded eyes and snarling mouth.

not so difficult OF recognition. 1t is to

federal immigration authorities are dis
playing special vigilance. For the see
ond time since the passage of the inn

grafton inspectors have started out to
take a census of the prisons, insane
asylums, reformatories and charitable
institutions to collect statistics relating
to the number Of aliens in these lnstitu-
lions who have become public charges.
1t Is expected that immigration legisla
ton of a radical character may result
from the reports made by the investi-
gators. 1t was found through a similar
investigation conducted about four
years ago that there were S35 alien
murderers in our penal institutions and
1913 aliens charged with attempted MUIR

was an Austrian and a graduate

to escape the wrath OF those whose

A question arises as to what Is the
best method of conducting the contest
In this country against the reds and
their theories. In foreign countries
where there is despotism or suppress

grafton at the various ports of entry to.
confer with the police and other local
authorities Of their respective turisdlc-
tons with regard to Kidding the c0un
try of anarchists. Secretary Straus
says this action was not inspired by
the murder of Father Helnrichs In
Denver or the assault on Chief OF Po-
lice Shlppy In Chicago, but was in pur-
suance of a policy he had had under
consideration for some time. Under the
new immigration laws the department
has the power to order the deportation
Of immigrants who have been IN the
country less than three years and who
In that time have committed offenscs
against our laws, state or federal, and
whether felonies or misdemeanors. II
also possesses the power TO order the
deportation OF immigrants of less than
three years residence who advocate the
overthrow Of the government by force.
In parts of the country remote from
ports of entry it has no agencies for
ascertaining facts as to persons who
might be deported under the law and
must depend for the enforcement OF
the latter on the cooperation Of local
authorities. Robert Watchorn, commits
sioner of immigration at the port OF
New York. says that fewer criminals
are entering the country from abroad
than ever before and that Investigation
shows that most of those who now
figure In the court calendars got In be
fore present methods of excluding such
arrivals were employed. He favors a
law like the proposed enactment intro
duced In the house of representatives
by Congressman William S. Bennett OF
New York calling for the expulsion

fenced to a penal Institution upon tha
completion of his term regardless OF

many men after they marry. They will
pursue a woman with sorghum el0-
quence. write sonnets on the classic
outlines of her snub nose. crawl on
their knees before her like the devotees
of a heather goddess and after they
get her treat her like a convict or lose
interest In her and let her get along
the best wat she can. And some Of
these fellows really love their wives
too. They simply think that the pretty
words and gentle courtesies of court
ship are features Of the chase and ara
s%uperhuous and foolish after the cap
ture. They seem to forget that getting
a wife Is one thing and keeping her is
another, as the records of the divorce
courts show. but the same processes
are effective in both.
