A Nickel cisar.-A good kid" story
from the Hutchinson Gazette: 1t was
the boss's birthday. The Office boy
knew 1t, because he had heard the
boss's wife say so. The Office boy
worshipped the boss and had bought
him a birthday present. Often he had
heard the boss say that the only pre-
ents he liked were cigars, providing
they were 10-cent cigars, and he was
worried for fear the boss might not
like his present.
The boss came in and threw open
his desk. Lying there he saw a small
parcel He opened it and found that 1t
contained a cigar. He looked at II
closely. 1t was a nickel cigar.
Huh" said the boss, disgustedly,
Then he noticed that there was writing
on the paper. He read:
Happy birthday dident buy a ten
center cause 1 only had a nickle."
The boss bit the end off the cigar,
reached in his pocket and drew out a
match and lighted the weed. He puff

FOREIGN BORN CITIZENS.
More Than Ninety Per Cent of Them
Are In the North.

More Than Ninety Per Cent Of Them
Are In the North.
Since 1920 the number of foreign
born men, women and children who
came to this country with view to
locating here and becoming American
citizens exceeds 20,O0O,O00 souls, and
during the three years 1905, 1906 and
1907 the number exceeded 100000
annually. The last census-that Of
19O0-disclosed that there were then
living 1O,460,000 Americans of for
eign birth, declares the Washington
Post.
Perhaps more than 80 per cent Of
our foreign-born population is at the
north. In blood, New York, Boston
and Chicago are foreign cities. 1t Is
perhaps true that less than so per
cent of Ohio citizenship is made up of
Anglo Saxon blood. Wisconsin is
Scandinavian and German in race,
and so is Minnesota.
Before the war the institution Of
slavery kept the immigrant out Of the
south, and labor conditions Of that
section since the war have repelled
rather than invited the Teutonic emil
grants of Europe, including the Eng
lish and Scotch. Some Irish went
south, but they located in urban COM
munities. Doubtless it is true that
there are numerous countries In Ken
lucky with less than a dozen foreign
ers each, and some of them are with
out a single one, and the same may
be said of Tennessee, North Carolina,
South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama and
Mississippi
1t is only in the states that we have
named, and perhaps we could name
others, notably Virginia, that we must
look for the pure Anglo-Saxon. Lees
army had more Of that blood than
Marlborough or Wellington ever COM
manded-more than was with Rag
Ian in the Crimea.
There was the expectancy that La
tins from the south of Europe would
emigrate to our south, and some OF
them are located in Louisiana, and
few in other southern states but
twenty of them settle at the north,
where one is found at the south. Prac-
tically all the Slavs who have come
to us are north of the Mason and Dix
on line.
But day must come, and that not
distant, when there will be a great
exodus of northern farmers to south
ern plantations.

WANToN DESTRUCTION.
Game Corralled and Driven Over Vic
toria Fails by Natives.

F. w. Sykes, late district commits
sioner Of the Victoria Falls, in Africa,
writes an interesting article In tn.
Wide World Magazine on THE Riddle
of the Zambesi." In the course of h.s
narrative he gives vivid picture Of
how in bygone days the natives used
to corral the game which crowded on
the banks of the mighty river by SIM
ply driving them over the falls.
Ibwezero-"the place where you find
things"-is the name of bend Of the
gorge less than a mile from the falls.
Here the river seems to pause for a
while-maybe overcome by it's recent
astounding leap into space. Deep
green and sluggish, the water has a
rotary movement, the whirl of the un-
dertow. An hours steep Chamber will
enable one to visit the small beach Of
white sand at it's margin and return.
In bygone years this spot gained its
title in strange manner. When ele
phant buffalo and the larger species
Of antelope might be counted in their
hundreds along the grassy margin Of
the upper river, the natives adopted
the fiendish practice of driving herds
of them over the lip Of the falls. An
organized band Of hunters, provided
with spears, horns and drums, would
execute a sweeping movement some
miles up river, driving the game before
them down the left bank. In the
meantime another band was station
ed on the rising ground Immediately
above the falls. AS the game ap-
preached these latter closed in, forcing
the wretched brutes into the river and
so causing them to be swept over the
cataract. Then these noble sportsmen
quietly betook themselves to Ibwezero
and there awaited the arrival Of the
remains Of their quarry. Carried down
by the current, the carcasses, reduced
to pulp in due course reached the
whirlpool! here they were harpooned
and dragged ashore, a harvest Of meat
resulting. A more revolving picture Of
wanton destruction could scarcely be
imagined.
