MADE HIS APOLOGY AMPLE lllsh Legislator Even Withdrew the Words That He Was About to Utter. There Is In congress a western rep. resentatlve of Celtic origin who has more than once "stirred up the ani mals" by his propensity to bait the opposition. On one occasion he rose to de nounce the statements made in a speech that had bf;en delivered by a member of the other party. His im petuosity led him to phrase his re marks rather strongly. "Order, order!" exclaimed the speaker, pounding with his gavel. Again, in a minute or two, did the ,son of Erin return to his charge of fwllful misstatement. Again was he called to "order." It was a critical moment. His col leagues, for motives of policy, did not wish him to be put out of the debate, o they hinted so by tugging vigor ously at his coat tails. Now, It's a very dangerous matter to trifle with the tails of an Irishman's coat, save In the cause of friendship. Nevertheless, the Indignant yet good natured member recognized the com mand of his party and sat down after delivering this Parthian flart: "I obey the ruling of the House, and TVaeg to retract what I was about to observe!" That one touch of Irish oratory took the whole House by storm. Llppin cott's. Not Even Mother. Little Bob was much distressed be cause the birthdays of his sister Ade laide and his baby brother were going to arrive before his did. "All the burfdays before mine," he mourned. "Couldn't you make mine come first, muvVer?(. "No," Interposed Adelaide, decisive ly, "nobody can change your birth-day-i-not even mother!" ' "You AmerlcaSe," said the London man, "are very fond of what you call pie. But properly speaking a pie should have meat in It." "Perhaps. But the beet packers compel us to economize." CHANGED HIS MIND. ' Mrs. Ferndale We haven't any eggs, but I can get some If you want them very bad! 1 Summerbord Never mind, I don't care for that kind. PUTS STOMACHS IN ORDER.

Looking After the Eggs. ' mdy Betty, who is 4 years old and never misses a trick, was taken the other evening to a restaurant for her upper, and with all the Importance and sprightly dignity of her years calmly ordered poached eggs on toast. While the little family group was awaiting its service the "kiddie" mused herself by looking out of the window, pressing against a screen to get a closer view of something below. She was warned by her mother that the screen might give way and let her fall to the sidewalk, perhaps injuring her terribly. She drew away, thought a minute, and then said naively: "Would I fall if the screen went out?" "You certainly would," was her moth er's reply. "And would I get awful hurted?" "Very likely." "Then what would the man do with the eggs?" There are a good many heroes in novels who couldn't earn a living in real life. .' The man who deceives himself is an easy mark for others. U Come to America , '.,,'. 1 e?QVMf SAttttW f UfQtA.IHKfl i ml AH (W'.-:..; IF A million South Europeans come to the United States every year for a century, what will the aver age American be like at the end of that time? What will be the effect of these millions of fertile peo ple upon the ultimate product of the melting pot? If the American blood becomes largely that of the peasants of those down-trodden countries will the dominant traits of the present bo lost? These are questions that are raised by the figures Issued by the commis sioner of immigration, for those fig ures show a striking accentuation of the immigration tendency that has de veloped with in the laBt decade. So far has the tendency gone that for the fiscal year recently closed it is shown that 83 per cent, of all comers haye been from the races of South Europe and Eastern- Asia. .The men who are wont to look far ahead In the prob lems of national well being are be coming alarmed with the record of each succeeding season. For the year ending June 30 last, 1,041,670 immigrants landed in this country. Of these 868,193 weer from the Mediterranean sea countries, only 173,377 were from all the rest of the world 83 per cent, as against 17 per cent.. Even this 17 per cent, cannot be counted as having a ten dency to continue the present Ameri can type, for In it is included such dis tinctly different races as Japanese, Chinese, Mexicans, Africans. The point Is therefore that the whole Influence of immigration is toward breaking down the American citizenship as it exists today' by put ting in Its stead the blood of races that heretofore have had nothing to do with Its making. These people have been coming to. America for such a Bhort time that the effect that they are destined to have in the course of amalgamation Is an absolutely un known Quantity. If the stream of im migration continues in accordance with the present tendency the Amer ican of the future Is to be a new crea ture under the sun, but whether im proved by the process or mongrel, only time can tell. Diverting the Tide. The necessity of adopting , some means to divert the tide of Immigra tion from the congested centers to the country, where advantages not to be found in the larger cities are afforded, is also a Bubject deserving of serious consideration. Information has been complied, showing the states and territories to which alien steerage arrivals were destined, their professional occupa tion, and the races or peoples of which they were members. Attention is called to the fact that the newcom ers congregate around or in the large urban settlements, a fact that suggests as a means of averting the dangers of alien colonies and facilitating the amalgamation with the people of this country of the steadily increasing stream of alien immigration, appro priate action, either state or federal, for their distribution to points where their services can be best utilized and they can most speedily learn the benign effects of industrious and law observing life. But a small number of the arrivals are destined to the southern and western states, nearly all going to the eastern and middle notwithstanding there is a demand for labor from the former, especially in the agricultural sections. The Nation's "Gateway." Ellis island is a great Interrogation point to the immigrant In the course of the regular official routine at least 40 questions are asked him. But even after he has passed inspection and is turned over to the tailroad department in the immigrant station he has to re spond to twice as many more. Almost at every step the Immigrant has to set down his baga or bundles or babies and reply to some Interrogator. In more ways than this Ellis island is the great interrogation point of America. One of the moBt serious prob lems that the United States has to solve today Is how to put up 'the bars high enough to keep out undesirable and objectionable Immigrants and yet to let In those that will be useful and valuable citizens in the years to come. There are many phases to this big problem. Another is how to distribute the aliens throughout the country and to keep them from crowding into the already densely populated portions of the big cities there to become a men ace rather than a benefit. From the ships that arrive from southern Europe the steerage passen gers are swarthy of Rkin and cay with kerchiefs of brilliant colors. More than one-third of the Immigrants that have been arriving in the last seven or eight years are from the south of Italy. The steamers from ports on the eastern shore of the Adriatic brjng immigrants of stockier build and fair er complexion, although some por tions of the Austro-Hungarlan empire send men and women that are as dark as those from Sicily. More than one fourth of the immigrants that now pour through the portal at Ellis island are from the dominions of Francis Jo seph. In 1884 only four per cent, of the Immigrants were from Italy; now the percentage is nearly forty. From Austria-Hungary in those days came nine per cent, of the immigrants; that empire now furnishes 25 per cent. Russia's quota 16 years ago was four per cent; now it Is more than sixteen. The Scandinavian countries' propor tion used to be ten per cent; It only is half that now. Germany's was 40 per cent; now it is four. Ireland's was 12; now It is five. Great Immigrant Army. There have come to this country, from the time the immigration records began in 1820 up to the end of the last Type of Immigrant. fiscal year, nearly thirty million immi grants. This is equal to the entire population of Spain, Portugal and Sweden combined. Compared with this alien invasion of America the history-making Bhiftings of the Franks and Gauls and Goths and VandalB and Huns were nothing at all. That is one indication of the reason why the government is beginning to regard the influx of more than a million im migrants a year as one of its most serious domestic problems. Immigra tion experts believe at least 25 per cent, of the immigrants now neces sarily admitted, although they may be able to earn a living, are of no 'bene fit to the country, but, on the con trary, are a detriment; that their presence tends to lower our standards of living and civilization, and if they were to remain away they would not be missed, except by the transporta tion companies. No one considers New York as an American city now. Londoners go home and tell their folks that they met very few Americans there. The other day the kaiser greeted some Manhattan Germans with the remark that he was glad to welcome fellow countrymen from the biggest German city, in the world outside of Berlin. Because the American city has a bad Influence on the foreigner the government is doing all it can to In duce him to settle out in the country, where he and his family will not be huddled in tenements and .die from tuberculosis and other preventable diseases. THOUGHT ONLY OF THE GAME Hllal Affection Lost Sight Of by the 8mall but Enthusiastic Lover of Football, Among the spectators at a match between the Blackburn Rovers nud the Olympic was a little lad about nine years of age. Though the boy's knowledge of the game may .have been limited, his notion of correct piny was extremely robust. "Go It, 'Lymplc," he yelled. "Rush 'em off their pins. Clutter 'em. Jump on their chests. Bowl 'em over. Good for yer. Mow 'em down. Scatter "em, 'Lymplc." When his parent neatly "grassed" one of the opposing forwards, the youngster expressed approval by bawling, "Good fer yer, owd 'en," add ing proudly to the spectators, "Feyth er 'ad 'im sweet." "Yes," said a hearer, "but he'll get killed before the game's finished." "1 don't care a carrdt If he does," said the boy. London Tit-Bits. ALL THERE. Visiter Do you think that mosqui toes carry malaria? Farmer I dunno; they never took any away from here. BABY WASTED TO SKELETON "My little son, when about a year and a half old, began to have sores come out on his face. I had a physi cian treat him, but the sores grew worse. Then they began to come out ; on his arms, then on other parts of his body, and then one came on his cheBt, worse than the others. Then I called another physician. Still he grew worse. At the end of about a year and a half of suffering he grew so bad that I had to tie his hands In cloths at night to keep him from scratching the sores and tearing the flesh. He got to be a mere skeleton, and was hardly able to walk. "My aunt advised me to try Cutl cura Soap and Cutlcura Ointment. I sent to a drug store and got a cake of Cutlcura Soap and a box of the Oint ment and followed directions. At the end of two months the sores were all well. He has never had any sores of any kind since. I can sincerely say that only for Cutlcura my child would have died. I used only one cake of Cutlcura Soap and about three boxes of Ointment. "I am a nurse and my profession brings me into many different fam ilies and it is always a pleasure for me to tell my story and recommend Cutlcura Remedies. Mrs. Egbert Shel don, Litchfield, Conn., Oct 23, 1909." What's In a Name? 'See here, waiter," said Mr. Grouch, tcowllng deeply over his plate, "I or dered turtle soup. There not even a morsel of turtle flavor In this." "Of course not, sir," returned the waiter. "What do you expect? Shake speare said there was nothing in a name.
