GOOD SPIRITS.

Good spirits don't all come from
Kentucky. Their main source is the
liver-and all the fine spirits ever
made in the Blue Grass State could
not remedy a bad liver or the hun
dred and one i'll effects it produces.
You can't have good spirits and a bad
liver at the same time. Your liver
must be in fine condition If you would
feel buoyant, happy and hopeful,
bright of eye, light of step, vigorous
and successful in your pursuits. You
can put your liver in fine condition
by using Green's August FlOwer-the
greatest of all medicines for the liver
and stomach, and a certain cure for
dyspepsia or indigestion. 1t has been
a favorite househould remedy for
over thirty-five years. August Flower

COULDN'T MAKE UP HIS MIND

He thought OF hundred ways to rise,
But he couldn't make up his mind
It was great 20 he rich and grand TO be
wise,
But he eouldn't make up his mind:
He thought he would cease to putter
some day,
and brayely go forth TO the furious fray,
Where worth proudly carries the honors
away,
But he couldn't make up his mind
lie thought be would cease 10 go
slouching around,
But he couldn't make up HE mind
There were plenty OF chances that might
have been found,
But he couldn't make up his mind.
He feared 90 try this and OF that he said
No"
One way seemed so hard and another so
He longed to win honors; he never did,
though,
For he couldn't make up his mind.
He puttered on, thinking some time he
would start.
But be couldn't make up his mind:
The hopes that once filled him shrank
up in his heart,
He had never made up his mind.
He walked with droopei shoulders, his
hair became gray
In poor little corner they left him one
day
He bad finally started, had left the old
way
At last be had made up his mind.

Inc Bio Immigration Question

The number OF the immigrants who
landed in this county in 1903 ise - 600
That is the largest number in a sipgle
year.
Until within the past fifteen years
practically all immigrants came from
northern and western Europe, and they
were largely OF Teutonic stock They
were intelligent aud industrious, and
they have taken large part in building
up the country, in moulding institutions
and contributing TO high standard of
American citizenship.
Within the past fifteen years much oi
the immigration has been from southern
and eastern Europe, composed q ele-
ments by no means so desirable-classes
which do not easily sssimilate with us,
which cOngregate in cities and eommu-
mites by themselves, and which may In
some degree constitute an unwhoicsOme
element Of the population. During the
past year 600, 900 OF this class OF immi.
grants were landed, constituting almost
seventy per cent of the years immiSre-
tion. A large percentage OF these people
do not read or write in any language,
and it will be long before they can be
made into good American citizens.
