Tea Baskets, Luncheon Baskets and

Now is the time for outings, picnics
and vacation journeyings and it seems
that the stores have anticipated the
wants of the picnickers and out-of-

utensils and contrivances for ones

carries utensil to keep some dish

that keep other liquids ice cold for

these included in their makeup.
There is a little outfit that looks
like a leather collar box, which con-
tains nickel plated tin kettle, an al
cohol burner, a sugar bowl and a
creamer and an extra bottle for alco-

NOT FOR MRS. PILKINSTON
Wife of Husband, Drafted for the
War, Looked With Disfavor on
Preferred Substitute.

Mr.. Pilkinston, a small farmer in
Pennsylvania, was drafted for the
service of his country during the
Civil war. His wife. though she pos
sessed but a small stock of informa-
ton, was one of the best conjugal
partners, and she was much troubled
at the thought of parting with her
husband. AS she was engaged in
scrubbing off her dOorsteps, rough
looking stranger came up and thus adj
dressed her:

has been drafted

Pilkinston, though dear knows,

be spared from their families"

discharged the dirty soapsuds in the
face of the discounted and astonished
substitute, who took to his heels just
in to time to escape having his head
broken by the bucket.

Munyon's Paw Paw Pills are unlike

coax the liver into activity by gentle
methods. They do not scour. they do
not grippe, they do not weaken. but they
do start all the secretions of the liver
and stomach in way that soon puts
these organs in healthy condition and
corrects constipation. In my opinion
constipation is responsible for most all
ments. There are Is feet of human
bowels, which is really a sewer pipe.
When this pipe becomes clogped the
whole system becomes poisoned, caus-
ing biliousness, indigestion and impure
blood, which often produce rheumatism
and kidney ailments. No woman who

ATLANTA.-President Taft will

bureau-the Slavic, contributing
3,178 400 immigrants to the total
above; the Iberic, 2,138,527; the
Teutonic, 1,831,332; the Celtic, 997,-
4O7; the Monaghan, 166,528; all
other peoples, 503,102.
The north. the middle west and
the Pacific coast get the bulk of i'm
migration for the last ten years.
The proportion that drifted to the
south is hardly worthy of mention,
although the large majority, of these
immigrants came from warm eli
mates.
1t is clear that the new immigrant
shuns the country, as contrasted with
the life of the city, or rather his
own little colony in the city or hard
by the factory, where for the first
time in his pOverty-stricken life he
gets living wages.
Unlike the German or the immi-
grant from the British Isles he not
only does not seek to learn, but pos
itiVely abhors the customs of his
adopted country. He has no conf
dence in any manner of business or
enterprise conducted by Americans,
or indeed any foreigner but his own
race.
Authentic statistics from all the
institutions of detention in the Unit
ed States show that of the Kelts de-
tanned therein Is per cent are in
penal institutions. Of the Teutonic
II per cent are thus held; of the
Slavs detained 25 per cent are held
for crimes, and of the Iberic (Which
embraces all southern Europe) 80
per cent are detained for crime.
Thus is will be seen that the Iberic
or South Europe division leads in
crime, with the Slav of East Europe
second, the TeutOnic or German
Scandinavian third, and the Celtic
embracing most of the English
speaking peoples of Europe-are the
least criminal
The same statistical reports show
that there were at the time 500 al
lens held for murder in penal insti-
buttons in this country, of whom 253
were Italians.
Ireland, which a generation ago
was looked upon as the backbone of
the immigration movement, sent to
our shores in 1901 10000 immi-
grants; in 1910 she sent $4,000,
while little Greece, hardly heard of
in America outside the grammar
school geography class ten years ago

ters, and which sent in 1900 a pal

THE STORY OF THE CORN.
Indian Legend as to Why 1t Needs
to BE Worked.

Indian Legend as to Why 1t Needs
to Be Worked.
The Indians of my tribe relate this
legend to their children from gener-
alton to generation, says Nan Sau-
nOOke, Cherokee, in the Red Man.
Many years ago there lived an old
woman with two sons. Every day
she would disappear for a certain
length of time; when she returned
she would bring with her corn, beans
and pumpkins. AS her sons grew
older they wondered where she got
these things. They planned to force
her to give them the secret or kill
her il she refused. Discerning the
little boys intention she called them
to her and gave each a little earthen
jug, and also a bow and arrow. She
then instructed the boys as to what
they should do after takin" her life
She told them to drag her body over
the fields and bury it there: then
they were to take the bows and ar
rows and earthen jug and shoot in
sects all night. They were told if
they went to sleep during the night
the corn would not come I'D until
one week after planting.
The boys shot the insects and
watched the corn grow to maturity,
Ihey remembered the corn was tas-
senng, when the younger boy said he
was sleepy and believed he would lie
down and rest; but alas. the little
Iad fell asleep, and his brother did
likewise. When they awoke they
could see no corn. The corn did not
appear again until seven days. Then
little green shoots came up. The
boys had to keep the fields free of
weeds as a punishment for falling
asleep at their posts of duty. The
indians believe that no effort would
have been needed on their part to
get the grain if the boys had fulfilled
their duty and slept.

hours in discussing and voting upon

ARMY OF MILLION IMMIGRANTS YEAR
Italians Outnumber Other Nationaties and Poles Come
Next in the Great Foreign Horde

NEW YORK.-Two or three years
ago it was prophesied that the total
number of immigrants in the United
States in one year would reach a
round million. This statement was
received with more or less incredul-
ity, but this figure as given for the
last official year has actually been
passed, for during that period no
fewer than 1,041,570 immigrants en-
tered the United States, says the
Times. 1t is evident that the United
States must be prepared to digest
this enormous annual incursion of
100000 human souls.

compose this huge invading horde:
