Told to Tell a Lie.

IL some foolish person over in the old
country mad not instructed Mordche 10
tell lie soon as he should land in
Ellis Island, politics would not have been
disturbed BY this commonplace little i'm
migrant family's troubles. But over on
the other side II seems that some wise
Russian told Mordche that as soon as he
was questioned by the officials here he
must tell them the exact opposite from
the truth You see. Mordche, who Is fifty
four years old, has been married for
thirty-two years. and his wife came over
two years ago with two of the boys. and,
like the thrifty person she was, settled
down TO work. The boys are about If
teen years old. and at least one OF them
has a job now. and all told. the Lupn!k
money II took only two years to save
up enough 10 send Mordche's Passage
money to him.
The last thing Mordche's informant told
him when he stepped aboard the steamer
krooniand bound for New York, was to
be sure to tell the agent at Ellis Island
that he. Mordche. was not married. He
must deny ever having had wife, deny
ever having had family. deny every
thing-just lie straight through, and
swear with JUNCTION that he was bach
elor ffty-four years old. and that as for
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. What thought.
omcials Lose Tempers.
Just what he was to tell about the son
who was to travel with him does not
appear. Evidently 1t was an added bit of
orookedness. for the officials at Ellis Is
land were extremely wrothy at Mordche' 8
story. II all went very we'll until
Aordche's wife. who knew nothing at all
about the blum Mordche was trying 10
make. came down after her husband.

Dodge on his return from Kan
sas City last week, and reports
that the Colmer cutoff has three
distinct outfits at work on the
Dodge end of the line, and that
ninety cars of ties and rails are
on hand for laying the track.
Undoubtedly the record is now
broken in the amount of snow
that has fallen during any one
winter in the known history OF
this end of the state, and we have
till down in May for more snow
to fall. With less feed than the
country has had for years, or
ever had according to the popnla-
ton, it makes it especially hard
on stock, but it will be eXcep-
tionally good for the opening sea
