latter class somo come to stay and
others come resolved to gather wealth
and return from whenco they came.
Choosing at random from men of a
half scoro lands, a New York reporter
learned through tho gllb-tongued inter
preters tho story of why they come.
Many others who wero asked "Why do
you come?" shook their heads and
smiled. Others scowled upon their
questioner with suspicious oyos, fear
ing a harmful motive behind this in
terrogation. Paulo Constantlni of Athens knows
exactly why he camo to America.
There was no hesitancy in hlsanswer.
Paulo came to America with his wife
and two children to engage in busi
ness and make money.

We spent only what wo wero forced

Michael O'Connor of Cork to America.
"The lads are all In Chicago and

"I will go to work. I can do any

After my brother began to write how

Paris. A year ago one Bretche, who
was serving a sentence of 13 months
at tho Santo prison, mado tho acquaint
ance of Marcol Faitide, who was await

varied acquaintance with tho law had

"What would you glvo?" asked Fa!
tido. "All that I possess," was tho an

produced nn old nickel watch, n pack

lighter.
"Done!" said Faitide.
A few days later Bretcho-Faltldo

Bretche found the sentence of 13
months confirmed. For ten months he
stood it, but at last his patience gave
out. Perhaps tho packet of tobacco
was exhausted, or tho watch may havo
stopped. In any case, Faitide went to
the governor of tho prison and told his
extraordinary tale.
On tho same day Bretche, as luck
would havo It, was arrested for rob

wero taken, nnd found, of course, to
correspond exactly with thoso of tho
pseudo-Brotche, already safoly under
