COSMOPOLITAN
Proposed , B1)1h to Trerent the
Immlgn-
. tlon of Foreigners.
There are no less than five bills be
fore the French chamber whose object
is .to check or prevent the immigra
tion of foreignem According to the
fatesV figures, there ar. 480,000 Bel
gians, 280, 00Q Italians,. 100,000 Germans
and 40,000 liritish and Swiss settled or
employed in, France. These 900,000
aliens are likely,, moreover, to increase
rapidly, not only by immigration but
by superior fecundity, the birth rate
among foreigners being far,, higher
than among Frenchmen. The foreign
ers are exempt from the eonscription,
which causes employers to prefer them
as laborers, and they send away large
sums of money $35,000,000 from Paris
alone in a single year. 1
The committee which has the bills
in charge proposes, therefore, to compel
every immigrant to take out a permit
of residence, which, it seems to be un
derstood, will , be refused when the
French laborers complain of competl
tion, and to pay one franc a year to
the funds of the commune he inhabits.
The grievance about the' conscription
is generally considered to be genuine,
and to justify a tax; but it is pointed
out that Italians or Belgians, or even
Englishmen, become in the second
generation Frenchmen. The Riquet
tis, Napoleons, Gambett&s andMc
Mahons have never been suspected c
oeiiig anything but French.

., WM. PENLAND DEAD.;..'.
The news of the sudden death of Wm.
Penland will be a severe shock to the
people of Morrow county.
It occurred at Portland Monday after
undergoing a surgical operation for
relief of kidney trouble. t, 1
Mr. Penland had for years been the
sheep king of Morrow county, and only
a tew months ago sold his large inter
ests to the xenland Land and Livestock
Co.
While retaining an interest in the
business, his relinquishment of tbe
active management gsve him an oppor
tunity to take long-needed rest, which
he so well deserved, and which he had
looked forward to with pleasant an
ticipations. '
Mr. Penland was one of the earliest
pioneers ' of " Eastern Oregon, coining
here with a band of sheep 33 years ago.
He stack to sheep through thick and
thin, worked hard in all sorts of weath
er, and how when he had arrived at a
point where he could enjoy the resu'ts
of his toil, the end is, alas! dea'h.
Mr. Penland has built up yast inter
ests, and has had much to worry him,
but through it all he has been always
accommodating, always fair and square
with his fellow man. Peace to his ashes.
The funeral is announced to occur fit
the old home place today, and the re
mains will be laid to rest in the Lexing
ton cemetery.' !'"'
A large number of people wilt go
down from Heppner and pay their trib
ute of respect.
' " SCALPS. ;
The new law provides that all scalps
must be taken to tbe county clerk direct
by the party who kills the varmints,
when the clerk will issue a county war
rant for $2, which, in Morrow county
will be worth its face.
The scalp taker does not have to pay
anything to the clerk for taking his affi
davit. After the clerk issues the county
warrant he reports to the state treasurer,
who then issues a state warrant in favor
of the county for two-tlirds of the
amount.

GOING TO CHURCH..
1 Nowadays the grandson of these
Bible worshippers, still nominally
a. Christian, an educated young fel
low familiar with the literature of
half, a dozen countries, probably
never has read a chapter in it and
never will, says an American Moth
er in the Ladies' Home Journal.
Whether it is the Word of God
or of some Jewish poets he really
has never cared to inquire. The
od 'e-t point, indeed,' of his position
as to this question is his absolute
indifl'eienee to it. "He has a vague
i lea that the Book was lately over
thrown by the Higher pdticism.
. But as to what the criticism is,
or what the Book' ia','t he has but
vague ideas. ' They bore him, and
in bis hasty march through life he
has learned the trick of promptly
ridding his path of ajl things that
bore him. -
What religion have Amerioan
men now?' Have they any? They
say they are' Christians and are
journeying to the Heaven or hell
of his forefathers. But a man on
a real journey does not give all his
attention to the happenings by the
way. He is careful to choose the
best route to the place where he is

declaring that the sermon is liter
ary twaddle, and that the preacher
knows no more of real life than the
bird 'skimming" over the waves
knows of the horrors that are m
the bottomless deep belpw.
Well, sometimes he is right But,
being at home, does he shut him
self up alone with God to ask Him
where he is going?
Or does he read the Sunday
papers? - 1 .?
A man, too, on a real journey
often consults his map. The Bible
is the only map of the territory
which we are crossing betweon oue
eternity and the other. But how
many Amerioan men ever read the
Bible now?
. BUZ OF BEES. 1
In the sunny southland of lower

Henry Fitch is a 'young' farmer
down there, and when a lad ac
quired an ability to warble in imi

To the people of the countryside
the whistling was marvelous, and
staid old farmers Btopped their
Horses as they passed the farm to
listen to the boy's whistle. Bee

are unknown to young Fitoh, but
tne simple melodies aud popular
songs loved by the country people
roll from his lips in rippling melo

attracted by his whistling, settled
on man and oxen. ' .
With great proaence of mind he
seized the tails of the oxen to pre

tue bees. . lie continued whistling
as shrilly as possible" to keep tlu
bees pacified and started the "oxea
Blowly home. His mother heart
the sound of her son's whistle, and,
shading her eyes with her hand,
1' oked down the road. ' Fitch and

in u cloud, and, after hoveling in
the air a moment, lit above the
hive, which had been sweetened
with sugar and water for the re

before. Gradually tbe bees disar;.
