immigration statistics for the last
fiscal year are of interest because
OF the great increase in the number
of new arrivals. OF the total of 494..
500, the month of May brought the
most s2,054; and in the past four
months the arrivals numbered 26s.-
COZ, or considerably over one-half.
Austria-Hungary, Italy, Germany and
Russia sent the most immigrants. II
is of interest TO note that only one
fourth of the whole number were
women, and that not the newer parts
Of the country, but New York, Penn
sylvanin and New Jersey were the
destinations of the majority of the
ineomers. Many went far west, even
To California.

"The best thing a physician or sur

months every two or three years and

They will flock back O him in swarms

TONERS in my town he says, "are
two young men who spent year each

that they knew they learned right in

TIMER CLIFTON was one of the
IT, handsomest young men in cen
trail Kentucky.
He was a great political genius,
too" was the decision of his young
lady admirers, though their decision
was invariably reversed when Elmer
would appeal to the editorial court.
But editors are cold blooded, hard
hearted, incompetents, while girls
when sitting in judgment on the lit
erary productions Of handsome
man are broad-minded, liberal, en-
thusiastic and, by instinct, critics Of
unquestionable authority.
When Elmer's eye rolled in a fine
frenzy, such phrases as "Cupid's
Dart" matched to tender heart"
would shower from his pen like dew
drops from a stricken rose.
He delighted to read his produc-
tions TO a girl enthusiast. His vocal
chords were like guitar strings, and
when a sensitive ear would incline to
his voice, a sigh would ever and anon
tremble from a throbbing bosom and
square of soft lace go up to absorb
tear.
With an enthusiastic hand he
would mail his productions to lead
ing magazines, and with nervous
hands and sickening disgust he would
soon take them from the post Office
again.
But like most Kentuckians, he was
game, and one editor who had tasted
the mucilage on a hundred of Elmers
return envelopes, wrote to him in
this way;
Il admire your pluck and persist
ency, i'll directed though they be.
Such energy and grit are worthy of
a better cause. If nothing win do you
but write, let your Pegasus catch the
epizootic as quick as possible. Send
me some prose sketches like the
Dance at Daddy Darnell's,' My Own
Live Dog, or Last Fight of the
Feud,' and I'll be glad to look them
over, but please, oh, please, no more
poetry
Then Elmer rose early in the morn
ing and gathered together a great
of his poems and cast them
forth into devouring flame.
He had just read in a literary jour
nal that, in the sale Of popular books
during the past year, David Scare'em
had led all the rest.
lie, too, would write a book, crowd
il with original characters, and, be-
ing young, would live to enjoy the
fame of il.
And where could he find a better
field than the mountains of north
eastern Kentucky From those OBJ
scure mountain pockets he would
lead forth characters so attractive
in their novelty as to fascinate the
gaze Of all Christendom.
So, bidding many pale-faced girls
pathetic farewells, he set of for
Rowan county.

The Glory Of a Man
Is in His Strength.
Can More Marvellous Things BE
Found
FACTS ARE STUBBORN THINGS.

Stone Cutters and a Member Of
the Union Has to Say Of Yer
mont's Most Capable
Physician.
For the past eight years | had been
great sufferer from kidney, bladder
and liver trouble. My bowels were
very constipated and | had indiges-
ton so badly that many times a glass
of water would distress me. Heart
burn was an everyday occurrence, |
was very nervous and excitable and
unable to rest nights, and in fact l
felt more tired in the morning as a
rule than when retiring at night. My
sexual organs were very much inn
paired: in fact, | might say lost. III |
would take a little cold my lungs
would seem to be filed with a mu-
cous, was almost constantly hawk
ing and splitting and many of my
friends feared ] was going into con-
sumption. My urine was very highly
colored and had to get up from five
to eight time in the night.
In this serious condition | had con-
suited physicians at Fox Island, Me-,
my old home, in Connecticut, Boston,
Springfield, Mass, Barre, Montpelier
and Burlington, VT Some Of the
doctors said / had Bright's disease;
Others said that had bad case OF
catarrh, which not only affected my
head, but my whole system; other
doctors said | was in consumption
and the only hope for me was a
change Of climate; while still other
physicians said that / had Bright's
disease, liver complaint and that !
was passing away the vital fluid Of
life in my urine.
In this serious condition, on Aug.
IL, 1901, more dead than alive, i sent
for DIR. Morrow, although my wife
and many OF my would-be friends adj
vised me not TO do so, believing that
my case was hopeless and that would
throw away my money, as in the past,
trying to get well.
About five o'clock on Aug. IL, 1901,
DIR. Morrow called at my house, gave
me the most rigid examination that |
had ever been through and then told
me that il would strictly follow his
directions, (and not listen TO the jeal-
Gus know-it-slls,) that in three months
time he would put me in condition to
go TO cutting stone again. This
seemed almost incredible, but while
there is life there is hope, so at once
commenced taking his treatment and
true to his word everything that he
told me came 10 be true.
NV full health and manhood have
been restored and today | am the
father of as sweet a little baby boy in |
perfect health as | believe ever lived.
While am well aware that there |
are many jealous people that would |
try and have a poor sufferer stay away /
from DIR. Morrow, even If they knew
they could be cured, nevertheless
make this true statement for the good |
of suffering humanity and in justice
TO the man who has saved my life.
| shall be pleased to answer any
questions concerning my case, either
in person or by letter. My residence
is n. : Smith Block, Barre, Vt.
Signed, a grateful patient,

Elmer entered the doorway sec
ond after the old maid had escaped
into the adjoining room and was re-
ceived by Eva, who directed him TO
the rocking chair.
An embarrassed pause followed
which was soon broken by the en-
trance of the old maid with bucket
of fresh water and a gourd.
Eva paled and then Redeemed at the
sight of the gourd and arose, crying;
Don't drink out of that! Let me
get you a goble!l"
'.No, indeed No goblet for me
when / can get a gourd to drink
FRONT The Lord made the gourd and
man made the goblet. Ah-e-m! The
gourd gives cold water nectarine
flavor that makes the tongue culver
with ecstacy, and all the senses re-
joice together"
Though this was the first time
Elmer had ever tasted water from
gourd, his little eulogy spread com
mon ground on which he and those
ladies could sympathetically meet.

who had gone to the high school at
Salyersville.
Il like that fellow" thought the
old maid, as she carried the bucket
Of water into the cook room. "Ef he

ferlootin' fool"
A little later, sounds were heard on
the outside like the alternate lift
ng and dropping of mauls on wet
sod.

eyes, papa thinks it's about his
dinner hour" Eva supplemented.
A second later something struck
the edge of the veranda and made
planks CULVER from one end Of 1t to
the other. Then the doorway dark
ened and Elmer looked up TO behold
a great, TALL broad man with grim
features. and whiskers hanging down
like the tail of an iron gray horse.

Papa" quickly spoke Eva, shut
ting off her sister, "this is Mr.. Cliff
ton, from central Kentucky"
Elmer arose, and as the old fellow
drawled "Howdy do, subj he placed
his pale palm, with some trepidation,
into a great rough hand that crushed
t like a deadfall.
After a few stock remarks about !
weather, crops and the "doin's down

the elder that he had been engaged |

I'D in the mountains to rest up and |
wanted to board few weeks with |

"Now here is a character for my
novel" thought Elmer as he lay inn
mersed in a fat feather bed that night,
"oddest, strangest character / ever
knew, in or out of fiction"
And he began vaguely TO group
characters and incidents around this
central figure. But, alas, every time
this character would go out for a sub
ordinate character, it would come
home leading sweet Eva McElroy.
Every incident was the meeting Of
himself and Eva beneath a great
spreading oak and exchanging vows Of
everlasting love.
Three months later Eva and Elmer
sat beneath big oak near the house
in signing perplexity.
Elmer had asked the old fellow for
his daughters hand. and had been re-
pulsed with thunderous threats. He
had said: mo bapdy-shanked, eder-

covery in his eyes.
Every" returned the girl.
"Then I'll fix him!" cried the young
man, rising with enthusiasm. "Tve
got a graphaphone at home and will
send for it."
A week later, as the old man lay
tossing in his bed, he heard a sound
that made his bones quake and the
cold sweat break out all over him:
Hear We, oh. McElroy. and heed
what say this night" The voice was
in the room. He arose, hastily lit a
match, but saw nothing. He lay down
again shivering. Then the unearthly
voice sounded again.
Hear We, oh, McElroy, and heed
what say this night Let thy daugh-
ter. named Evaline. and the young man
who tarries in thine house be married
on the morrow. And give them thy
blessing, and your hotel property in
the place called salyersville. Do you
heed?"
Il do, oh Lordi" cried the trembling
old sinner. And he arose early in the
morning and went forth and brought
Parson Goodin' who performed the
ceremony.
Six months later Elmer got back the
manuscript Of his book. Rot was
the only editorial comment. Elmer
laughed. threw me manuscript in the
fire. embraced his beautiful wife and
went down to count the money which
had been registered in the hotel bar
room.
