That Canada is benefitting largely by
immigration from the United States is
shown by the figures r f the last fiscal
yiar. There were a total of 57,80ti from
tliU side of the border, or one-third of
the entire immigration to thf! Dominion.
J ho figures are not large a immigration
figures inn in the United States, but
they show that there is something
teripting in the newer sections of the
country which is bound to dra increas
ing numbers each year. VYrmont being

"WHELPS THAT SELL THEIR
VOTES."
tSome Vermont town is in line for a
flagellation deferred or otherwise from
tlie whip in Clement's hand. In his
opening speech of the campaign at Ben
nington last Saturday night he paid his
compliments to the "miserable whe'p
that sel's his vote," and then declared
that there is a certain town whera there
are 400 purchasable voters, adding the
promise that when he got to that town
he "would tell those voters what he
thought of them." This is a broad ta le
nient to mahe, and we trust that Mr.
Clement earef.lly edited his own spe.h
before going on the stand and delivor
ing it bro.ilaido to a vast newspaper
reading public both in Vermont and the
nation at large. The town which num
bera 400 pur diasable voters must need
be one of the ';v,er places of the state,
for riot many towns of Vermont lime
a total voting strength of 400. What
is the own that numbers 400 renal
citizens? Is it Bane, Montpclier, Brat
tlcboro, St. Albans, St. Johnsbury, Rut
land or Burlington? If Clement was
accurate in Ik's statement, some Ver
mont community is drinking the dregs
of political degredstion, for in commun
ities of the size of Vermont's towns,
that would mean the prostitution of
the civic virtue, it may be of one-quar-,tcr,
a half, possibly two-thirds of the
freemen. We are pleased that Clement
knows of only one town which he is
prepared to include in such a demean
ing. Without trying to discount in the
least the fusion candidate's efforts for
the lie tterment of our civic standard, we
would ask him to stick to his promise
to "tell those voters what he thinks of
them when he gets to the spotted
town. '
A Peculiarity at tho Crow.
Most birds cannot carry anything
which their mouths are too small to
contain. The crow is an exception at
times. In Vermont, near Manchester,
five crowa were seen to coma down
Into an apple orchard. They came dally
nd after a time the owner discovered
that they were taking apples from a
tree bearing the mellowest fruit. Each
crow Jammed its closed bill Into an
apple, raised its head and flew to a
tall pine tree, where the fruit was eat
cu. More remarkable atlll Is the fact
that crows will sometimes carry turkey
and ben eggs from a neat In tbo same
manner.

Sleuths of the
Secret Service
HEN kings and emperors go
abroad plumed knights on
dashing steeds surround
them. When the president
ef the United States goes out, unless
It bo an occasion of greatest state, we
see no men 011 horsebuck. In demo
cratic simplicity Theodora Roosevelt
travels from the White House to the
"summer palace" at Oyster Bay. Ap
parently he is unguarded, yet from un
der the bat brims of the plain clothes
men by his side peep the piercing eyes
of secret service agents. In pockets of
Innocent looking trousers lurk big pis
tols. In sieeves of civilian cloth are
bleeps ready to launch blows at sus
picious persons who appronch too near
the president. The chief of the re
public Is really as carefully protected
as many monnrehs, though the protec
tion, is unostentatious.
Occasionally the vigilance, of the
president's bodyguard gets' it Into trou
ble. On the president's latest arrival
at Oyster Bay a secret service man
struck a photographer who was tak
ing an unauthorized snapshot of Mr.
Roosevelt. The photographer swore
out a warrant for tho guard's arrest,
and when the defendant came up for
a hearing half Long Island flocked to
the trial It was to be a famous case.
Great lawyers were expected to make
memorable addresses, but the secret
service man spoiled the show by plead
ing guilty to a charge of assault and
cheerfully paying a ten dollar hue.
Guarding the president Is not, of
course, the only or eve the chief duty
of the secret service. Trailing and
capturing counterfeiters and smug
glers, running down moonshine stills,
lolling foreign spies all are In its day's
work. Counterfeiters are its particular
enemies. Slickest of criminals are tha
counterfeiters, and slickest of detec
tives are the men who catch them.

CHIEF WILK1E AVD HIS BOOfES (JAXLEtT.
Pretty nearly erery Counterfeiter 'In
the world has his "mug" in the unK-ret
service rogues' gallery in Washington.
At the head of this great detective
system is John K. Wiikie. Mr. Willie
used to be a reporter In Chicago. lie
did his first Sherlock Holmslng In that
capacity. A heavily Insured grocery
store had been mysteriously burnod.
Suspicion pointed to flts Wner, one
Arhuckle. Arbuulile tprowdfan alibi,
and the police were baffled. Wiikie
wasn't. He poked around the ruins en
til he found a tintype of 'Arhuckle with
a Philadelphia address on Its back. He
sent the picture to Philadelphia, where
It was recogoizod as the photograph of
James Moan, who had abandoned hit
wife, and eloped with a seamstress.
Armed with this exclusive informa
tion, Wilkio went to Arhuckle; who
thought that nil was discovered and
confessed.
Wilkio in JSSl became city editor of
the Chicago Tribune and continued In
newspaper work in Chicago until he
wns selected by Secretary Gage In
1898 to command the government's de
tectives. Mr. Wiikie has a great fund
of stories showing the Ingenuity of
"shovers of tho queer." Ono is this:
Dressed like a , prosperous carpen
ter, with n beam on his shoulder, the
counterfeiter plods along the street In
front of a promising show window tha
beam gets the better of him; he
lurches; he loses his balance crash!
Through the plate glnss shoots the
beam. Out conies the proprietor.
"tffiy, you, pay for that window."
"Boss, I cau't afford It."
"The deuce you can't You look pros
perous enough."
"Boss, you can search roe. I ain't got
t cent.'f
And the fellow turns his pockets in
ido out and Inadvertently drops a
bank note, which he picks up quickly
ind attempts to conceaL
"Holy smoke! A $100 bill:" exclaims
the owner of tho window.
"Hut It ain't mine, boss."
"All right. I'll have you arrested
anyway. Come In here now, nnd"
"Boss. I'll tell you what I'll do. IT)
give you ?25 and call it siunre."
Then the dealer, Joyous and well
pleased, takes the counterfeit $100 note
and gives the crook $73 In good money.
But even with such original schemes
as this the counterfeiter Is tripped up
In the long run.

H Got His Water.
A western lawyer says that he was
once la a court in Missouri when a
yoittig man most fastidiously dressed
sauntered Into the temple of justice.
None of the officials of the court had
ever seen him before, and as the pro
ceedings were unimportant and some
what tedious it chanced that the
stranger attracted some attention. On
his part he eyed the Judge narrowly,
sltied up all the attorneys, drummed
loudly on the bench In front of him
and finally rose aud sauntered up to the
bar, where he poured out for himself a
glass of iced water.
'.The.jndge 'presiding, a nervous and
testy, old Tel low,' had himself observed
the young inaa and by his frowns had
given ; evidence of his disapproval.
When the stranger bad boldly marched
tip t tha bar and had taken the water
It looked as- If the Judge would boil
over with Indignation at this exhibition
of temerity, amounting almost to con
tempt. "Ihot water, sir," roared the
Judge, "is for attorneys and other offi
cials of this court"
; Whereupon the strange young man
turned red and left the courtroom. But
the court was to see more of him, for
in about half an honr he returned, bear
ing In his hand a roll" of parchment.
The judge now glared at him in the
most savage j'nauuer. bnt the young
mnn flinched not " Finally, during a lull
la the proceedings, the eccentric young
person addressed the court:
"Your honor!"
"What Is it, sir?"
"I wish, your honor, to submit to
this honorable court my certificate of
admission to practice In the supreme
court and all other courts of this state."
"Well, what of that?" growled his
honor.
"Simply this, your honor. Now that
I have presented the proofs of my ad
mission to the bar I would move the
court that I be permitted to drink from
the official pitcher."
