HEAVY IMMIGRATION

The number Of immig grants landed in

DULUTH, SOUTH SHORE

The development Of this road makes
very. slow progress, as seen by the last
fiscal years total, in the Financial
World, showing net income of $1,000
BIG, or $146,0S5 more than for 1905,
which latter year ended with a deficit
of $206,553. The result of the financial
operations in 1906 will hardly wipe out
that deficit. If sold under the ham
mer, the road would hardly bring
bonded debt. The stock issues once
represented water only, and they repre-
sent now pious hopes that better days
may come some future time.

friends, and after a time the trouble
was all but forgotten.
But then Miss Edith r. Willis came
on the scene. She was young. viva
cious, talented. beautiful. From that
moment the gallant captain believed
that he had met his fate. He frankly
told Miss Willis that he believed her to
be his affinity, and he asked her to
marry him.
YES she said, but it takes more
than a whispered assent to make a
marriage There had to be a divorce

So Capt. Appleton has begun suit
after all these years. Mrs. Appleton
lives in New York with her confidant
since her separation from her hus-
band, Miss Katherine Parsons, of Vir-
ginia, daughter of Col. Henry Clay Par
sons. At first Mrs. Appleton said she
wouldn't contest the suit provided the
captain made her a suitable allowance
out of his wealth, but evidently the
two could not come to terms, for the
issue has been joined and the case will
come to trial. Miss Parsons will take
the stand in behalf of Mrs. Appleton.

New York.-Three men whose re-
cent romantic stories have made their
names household words are Thomas
w. Kiley of Brooklyn, Capt Nathan
Appleton or Boston, and Watson H.
Twitchell of Chicago.
Elderly, rich, and known as keen,
practical business men, they have gone
to greater lengths for the women OF
their hearts than ever a STRIPPING did
They have done for love what few
youngsters would do. Between them
they make up a veritable trio of ro-
nance.
They are men of affairs, each in his
own city. Not for a moment would
anyone believe them anything but
hard-headed business men. Yet what
they have dared is remarkable-these
three men whom everybody believed
beyond the age when Cupid calls his
loudest.
Thomas w. Kiley married the
daughter of his benefactor because she
loved him, and he thought his first
wife dying. Appleton met his affinity
and is now preparing to divorce his
first wife. But most remarkable of all
is TwitchelI. He gave up his bride
his second wife-to his son, because
he loved them both, and wanted to
see them happy.
And first, then, this remarkable TO
nance of the Twitchells.
Bertha May was a pretty little coun-
try girl who lived in a quiet little
Michigan town, when Watson H.
Twitchel, widower, with a son "a years
old, came there on a business visit.
He met charming Miss Bertha and fell
head over heels in love with her-this
gray-haired business man of Sc.
She Wanted to See the World.
He told the ambitious little girl from
Michigan of the pleasures of life in
Chicago. When he asked her to mar
~ him she thought that her desire to
see the world-that is, what of it that
can be seen in Chicago-was really
love. So the old man with the grown
up son and the unsophisticated little
girl from Michigan were married. The
proud bridegroom brought his dainty
bride back home to Chicago, and there

So eager was the pretty girl from
Michigan to marry her husbands son
