approximately two thousand policemen,
which includes the carabnieri, the soldier
police. Two to three hundred policemen,
who, If they are not themselves Italians,
should at least be able to speak the Italian
language. are necessary to keep this large
italian population under authority say the
prominent New York Italians.
The Black Hand has scarcely even been
heard of in Italy" Gaetano d'Amato says,
and he quotes from the writings Of an
English criminologist, A. F. Grifflths, 10
prove that the Black Hand is not only
a Spanish organization but that it had it's
origin in Spain. He contends that individ-
ual Italian criminals in this country on
hearing the name the Black Hand. were
fascinated with its terrible symbolism, and
they adopted it; it spread eventually to
Italy. These criminals employed it be-
cause it acted on the receiver the same
as the name of a well known author acts
on the judgment Of an editor, one Italian
banker illustrated to the writer
The only criminal organization In italy
is the Camorra, and the Camorra exists
only in the city of Naples. The poverty
of Naples has been responsible for IFS
creation, as the Camorra is a sort of
criminal collection agency Almost the only
way usurer's debt can be collected in
Naples is through the cooperation of
the Camorra, because the people Of the
city are so poor that a judgment from
the courts is valueless. The Camorra has

its chiefs, its Offices and it's officers. and
IL is made up of ruffians, cadets pro-
tectors of usurerS and adventures in gen.
eral. OF course these criminals belonging
TO the Camorra do far more desperate
things than collect debts. The Malta is
rot an organization, but, like the Ken
lucky feuds, it is rather a spirit of re-
venge, and perhaps it is less cruel than
the feuds of the Kentucky mountaineers,
for it at least stops at the grave.
All Italians who come from the south
ern part Of Italy or Sicily are looked upon
either as being members of the '"rhe
Black Hand" or The Malta" or some
other criminal society, yet of the 1,197 ,552
persons who migrated from italy during
the years 1904 and 1905 only 5000 were Nea-
politans, and all certainly did not come to
the United States. Some went to South
America and Canada, and others went to
Australia and other countries.
In the report made by Miss Emily Fogg
Meade for the federal government, pub
lished in the Bulletin of Labor, May 1907,
is given an account of the rise and growth
of the Italian colony at Hammonton, At
lantic county, n. j. This town, which
numbers now between four and five thou
sand, has. been built up almost entirely by
Sicilians. Miss Meade praises the Sicillans
general has nothing but praise for their
temperance and industry. She indicates
that in 1867 they paid $4.493.67 taxes in
Los Angeles herald., 1909-01-17

Hammonton. and that there were 1870
names of Sicilians and Southern Italians
on the tax register. In her report is is
stated that nearly every week or so a
house is built between Rosedale and Wins
low by some Sicilian.
1.-The italians of Hammonton show
themselves to be a social people with
simple, natural tastes" she says; their
love of home and children is healthful.
They are ignorant, primitive, childlike, but
their faults will largely be mended by con-
tact with good American customs Their
courtesy, gentleness and love of outdoor
life and simple pleasures are actual con-
tributions to American life. The country
environment seems to develop their better
qualities and they take a normal part in
the life of the community" Miss Meade's
general summing up of the colony of
Sicilians and Southern Italians in Ham
monitor is as follows:-'1n Hammonton
are found the results Of twenty years
contact of typical American population
with the lowest class of Sicilian immi-
grants. 1t is a safe conclusion that what
the italian has been able to accomplish in
Hammonton he can achieve elsewhere
under similar circumstances"

Didn't tell you," said the tall hemlock
Believe me, there will not be happiel

'Hush What is that strange noise
hear?' said the young hemlock.
God spare US, but it is the woodman's
axe, which has not been heard in these
woods for years.
Are we in danger?" said the youns
hemlock, trembling all over.
4 don't think so. The people think
so much of US twins that I do not think
they would harm US
Just then the voices of men were heard
and three stalwart farmers sons. one car
rying an axe across his shoulders, came
into view out of the thicket
1--WE must have a very high tree for our
nag pole" said one, but 1 am afraid we
VIII not find one to suit us here
Well' look at this fine hemlock,'' said
"nother You could not find a better
tree than that"
nhere was swing of the axe a dull
mud and the tall hemlock trembled.
This is going to be tough job said
one of the men,
The axe swung quicker and stronger, and
soon the. hemlock began to bend.
You will have to cut the seat, too" said
the third speaker.
'Oh, L won't bother" and as the tall

dragging it's companion with it.
That's a case of two birds at once, -
laughingly said the men.

1--WE will let the wood dry for a few days
and then bring the team to haul it away"
That very afternoon the two familiar
forms Of Annie and James came again to
the beloved spot. but their seat was gone.
What a shame" said James. ito have
cut down these trees
ooh, am so sorry said Annie, almost
with tears in her seyes. ut may be a
strange fancy Of mine, but it always
seemed to me that those two trees loved
each other just as we love, James, and
now they are cut down forever
IF they only could come together again
as we did"
IF they only could
And looking lovingly into each others
eyes they slowly wandered off, and the

course. wasted on James, for he heard II
not, and would not have understood it,
anyway.
James sat down on the bench where he
had spent SO many happy days with An
ME, looking with longing eyes upon the
hemlock trees and other familiar objects
Just as the wanderer after long absence
from home comes back and views famiIiav
scenes. Presently he rested his head in his
hand and Sobbed.
This is too much for me-" said the
young hemlock. Il cannot bear to see
him weep
Thus James sat for few moments, ana
then went his Way
A few weeks later the little birds again
had interesting news to tell, and it was
that Annie and Frank Brooks had parted.
Both had tired of each other, and, repent
ant, Annie had come back and on her
knees begged James forgiveness. Brooks
had not furnished her purity, for she knew
how to protect herself and she had di-
vined his purpose only too quickly. She
saw then how she had flung away a good
mans love and thought she had lost It
forever. However, she determined to come
back and face all the sneers and indig-
mites Of the village gossips to win back
James. And when she came she was
hooted and jeered at by the urchins in
front of the village store, but she walked
by them proudly and their insults were but
as water on a ducks back.
James was working in a field nearby.
and an old gossip ran to him and told
him Annie was back again.
THANK Cod" he said. How / have
prayed for this Where is she?"
When told she was coming directly to
him he could hardly conceal his low
But you are certainly not going to re-
ceive, her." said the gossip.
Receive her? With open arms I love
her, oh! how I love her. I can swear she
comes back as pure as she went away,
but were she to sink into the very gutter
of that city down over the hills, and she
held out her arms to me, l would go to
her.
And Annie came, sank on the ground
before him, and with tears in her eyes
begged for his forgiveness.
James made no reply, but took her up in
his arms and kissed her right before the
village gossips. His action silenced them
and they went their way, only shaking
their heads significantly.
All this interesting news was brought to
the twin hemlocks by the birds and there
was joy in the woods.
Los Angeles herald., 1909-01-17
WF@EN SO1E ONE COH1ES BETW=EN

a little stretch of woods within a
half mile of the village were two
hemIock trees known 10 every man,
woman and child in the vicinity They
were called the twins because they
were Joined to each other within few
feet of the ground by a solid, sub
stantial branch that grew from the older
ana stronger tree into the trunk Of the
younger one. thus forcing a natural rustic
seat often made use of by the villagers.
FOR some weeks a young man and young
woman had come to that spot and sat
hand in hand for. hours at a time on that
natural bench between the hemlocks,
whispering the same old sweet nothingS
that had been whispered in lovers ears
since the world began. 1t was an ideal
romantic place for lovers Near by a brook
gurgled along the rocks from the noun
tain side, and the music of It's waters,
the lazy summer wind signing in the trees,
the singing of the birds and the chirp of
insects, all combined to render a SYM
phony such as even the genius of Beet
hoven failed to write.
The twin hemlocks were greatly inter
ested in the lovers and always looked for
ward to their coming with much joy In
fact, the trees were lovers themselves in
their own peculiar state of existence and
from the time that they were mere sap
pings they had been drawn toward each
other, and Natures minister had linked
lISAls one 10 the OtnSr, t0T life. Tlere
was years difference between them, and
the tall, stately hemlock was a great pro-
lection to the younger one, and when the
storm broke and the wind howled through
the woods, the young tree would always
nestle close and be protected by the tall
form of its companion.
Human folks make love the same as we
do, don't they?' said the young henlock.
Each feels that without the other life
would he darkness"
Yes, my dear" replied the tall hemlock.
love is the same the world over, whether
in the human family, the vegetable world
or the animal kingdom. But you know as
yet little about the peculiarities of love,
Sometimes it undergoes change"
"A change? 1t seems impossible to me.
How could such a dreadful thing happen %
How innocent you are! Any number OF
things can happen to bring about a change
but the most likely is when some one
comes between
You brighten me-
Aye, but it happens every day."
But it would be cruel to rend two lives
asunder''
Certainly, but that does not alter the
fact. Do not the little birds tell US of the
scandals in the village, where many a
smiling face tries to cover a broken
hearth
"Ah! that may be possible in the human
family, but not with US, dear. We are in
separately linked. No one can come be-
tween u.s.
True. we have grown together, ana
years have but strengthened our love.
But see, here come the lovers. 1 can hear
their soft voices
Along the narrow pathway strewn thick
with fallen leaves came the young man
and young woman. They we're not hold

wandered off slowly arm in arm

Days passed and the lovers no longer
came to the seat between the hemlocks
Something was certainly wrong and both
wondered Finally strange stories came
from the village, and one dav the ROBINS
who made their nest nearby told the start
ling news that Annie had disappeared with
Frank Brooks, and gossipy tongues were
wagging necessarily.
Just what feared" said the tall hem
lock.
But you never told me your fears"
said the younger tree.

you. However, 1 am afraid it had to
come, as Annie would never have been
satisfied otherwise. She would have mar

always longed for Brooks
And what will happen now?"
Believe me, all will be yet for the best.
She will tire of Brooks, as we all tire OF
pretty things that have no heart or feel
ing, and then James will be her idol"
The younger hem1ock was so affected
by the sad affair that moan was the
only reply. So the days passed and the
lovers seat remained unoccupied It was
near the end of the summer, however,
that James came to the spot alone. and
the whole forest became interested The
hemlocks whispered How sad he looks.
the birds sang "Oh, Were Annie to Come
Back Again and the brook gurgled Get
her and bring her back. She loves you,
she loves you
