What's the Difference?

The dinner had net gone at AL we'll
The waiter was slow, the fCod va.
cold, and the cooking was bad. The
guest in the German restaurant was oi
naturally peevish disposition anyhow,
anu he complained vigorously to the
head waiter, and especially complain
ed of the waiter at his table. AS he
was leaving the waiter said humbly:
eff you only knew vat a hardt time

hardt.'
But" said the guest, why be 8

"vot else couldt l do?" asked the
waiter.
"Well," said the guest, up at the

man IS a night to play the oboe. for
might try that.
"Budt," said the waiter, I DON

Twenty Dollar Corn Land.

In the course Of an article In Col
liers Weekly of November 26th the
editor of that journal, after citing
South Cardinals record in corn-pro-
duction and directing attention to
he coming South Carolina Corn Ex-
losition in Columbia--December 5-9
asked why should farmers pay one
hundred dollars an acre FOR corn
land in Iowa when land that would
produce as much corn could be
bought in South Carolina for twenty
dollars.
DIR. r. j. Drew, of Kingston. Wis
consin, writes TO Golfers as follows.
TN regard to your article The Com
ing South, can you give me the ad-
dress of anyone living in South Car
olina owning or handling land in the
forn-growing section. At twenty
dollars an acre corn land appears to
me a good investment.
We take the above from the Co.
Iumbia State. In commenting on It
he State says "we print the letter
50 there may be contest open to
to the State for DR.. Drew The
commissioner of Agriculture, secre-
taries of the Chambers of Comm erce,
snd owners Of land can give him IN
formation. He should be offered land
ct twenty dollars that Is worth twen-
!v dollars" Why not locate DR..
Drew and many like him in Orange
burg County? Our lands are good
for corn. cotton. or any other pro-
duce that is needed by man or beast.
DR.. Drew Is the kind OF emigrant
that we want to come and settle
among u.s. They will be heartily well
coined.

said Senator Aldrich. He referred to
& brother senator's reply to q charge
that he had contradicted himself il
consecutive tariff speeches. DO you
call that an explanation? Why, it is
as labored as the Duluth palmist's.'
"a Duluth palmist," Senator Aldrich
resumed, said, as he studied the palm
of young Duluth shipping clerk:
"'Useless to pretend that you have
long life before you. The life line,
you perceive, ends right here. No,
Young man, you are bound to die at the
age Of 43.'>
He babbled on five or ten minutes
more. Then, forgetting what he had
said first, he declared:
!" And this small line here shows
that you will marry at the age Of 81
and will have IA children
!" Fourteen children" gasped the
shipping celrk. How the deuce car
that happen when I'm to die at 4o?'

History Repeats Itself.

There Is Il curious parallel between
The recent mutiny of the Brazilian
aeet and thai Of the british te't at
onitncad III 1897. IN both instances
The seamen overpowered their su-
perior officers, took possession Of thc
ships and hoisted the red flag. In
10th instances, also, the causes were
the same--poor wages poor and in
sufficient food and corporal pu& ;h-
,nent There was. however. ono :.f
ference in the matter OF coTl:o. !,
punishment in that while the Brazil
ian sailors demanded its abolition
the British sailors did not go so far
but demanded that excessive flogginS
should cease. The difference be-
tween the extent of the two demands
indicates the progress of humanity
curing the interval between the two
ulutinies. And. as a matter Of fact,
logging in the British navy was dis
c2rded thirty years ago. Another
parallel is seen in the fact that in
ho.h fleets the men gained their
ends In the British fleet happy re-
s;;lts followed in the greater con-
.Cntment. more willing obedience
and better living that prevailed. And
provided discipline is not weakened,
The same results may be expected IN
the case Of the Baziliau fleet.

Startling Statictics.

QUA tlIAS1 AeS~SAS1ASos
The people of the United States
are far becoming the most mixed OF
III the peoples on the globe. The
census of 1900 showed little over
10,0OO,OOO people in the United
States OF foreign birth, not to men-
zion some millions with one or the
other or both parents foreign born.
The census OF, this year will show a
considerable increase in this foreign
element The aggregate Of the I'M
migration to this country since the
last census, including the arrivals
for the monta Of July, was $685.
$50.
OF these Only 91O,S51 came from
English speaking countries = Eng
land, Ireland. Scotland and Wales.
About twice IS many Italians, or l.
S24,lO9, have i'm Migrated to the
United States in the last ten years.
The Hebrews are next, with SS6,539,
followed in order by the Poles, with
SS5,347; Germans, 703,744, and
Scandinayians, with 59S,794. These
figures made big inroad on our
AEglo-Saxon race strain.
The nglish-speaking immigrants
come from the British lies as fol-
lows: England, SS3,125; Ireland,
s73,794; Scotland, 134,911, and
Wales, 1901. The Italians came
mostly from southern Italy. The
mixed races that inhabit Russia and
southeastern Europe sent of Rus
SLAMS, Rusniaks, slovaks, Rouman-
ians, Croatians, Slavonians and Lith-
nanians an aggregate of 1,524,255.
France, of all the greater European
countries has been most nlgGardly In
Ter donations to our composite cltl-
zenship, senGing in the last ten years
hut little over 100000. Spain, with
xS,912. and Greece with 1892, con-
.ributed to the tide Of immigration
from southern Europe.
Most of all this immigration set
tied in the Northern and Western
States, and most of this great bulk
has contributed to the swollen popu-
lation, as the pending census will
show, of the larger cities Of the East
and middle West. AS far as people
OF English-speaking races are con"
cerned, the completed census OF this
year will show a greater proportion
CT them than ever, as compared with
the rest of the country, making their
abiding places in the Southern States
The total immigration to this
country since 1920 is 27,S94,293.
The average for the vrst decade was
$4,000; for the second, $4,000; the
third, 152,000; fourth, 304, 900;
fifth, 100000; sixth, 4a6,000; sew
enth, 525, 900; eight, $4,000; ninth,
SS6,OOO. The immigration the last
ten years was 3,5o0,O00 greater than
for all the years prior to the civil
war, or forty years Of immigration.
The tide of immigration was highest
in 1907, when 1t reached 1,2S5,349.
IE. C. Syder, who compiled the
above figures from the public re-
.crds, says no such movement Of hui
man beings towards common desti-
nation is recorded in history. What
effect this great influx of ignorant
Italians and the mixed races that III
habit Russia and Southern eastern
Europe will have on our political i'll
stitutions is serious problem. In
the meantime, let us be thankful that
cew of these people find their way 10
