Unfortunately l Got Well
Told by a Greenhorn.

Translated from the YlddiSh by Deena SpiVak
When I first came to this golden land
the good God at once took me under his
special care. It did not take very long
and 1 began to starve. But what a starv
ing! Not like one who has been here
only few weeks, but like one who has
been here for years and years, and who
has gone through all the stages Of star
vation And so 1 began to starve and l
was literally going out like a candle. 1t
went so far that sold goodly part Of
my clothing which I brought with me
from the old country, and on the pro-
ceeds bought bread to satisfy my fam
ished green heart. Once when | had
nothing to eat for several days decided
to hunt up a customer for my shoes.
What else could l do? One can't eat
shoes, and, oh, how I did want to eat
Moreover, my great misfortune is that
l am by nature a great eater. l could
eat the whole world. Well, as I said be-
fore, 1 intended to barter my shoes for
something to eat, but for the life Of me
l could get no one to buy them Of me,
and my hunger waXed and became un-
bearable.
1 roomed at that time with green
horn family who did their best to make
me pay my long overdue rent, or to get
rid of me. For my part I had enough
sense, thank God, to bluff them by say
ing that today or tomorrow l will surely
find job and will then, like a gentle
man, pay them every cent l owe them.
Many todays and tomorrows passed and
yet 1 did not find job and therefore
could not, like a gentleman, pay my
debts.
''For God s sake,' complained my
mistress to my master, "how shall we
ever get rid Of our boarder, the green
horn?" ..s..'. s.-.. ~. ,r 80.
When heard these singing words
issue from the lips Of my landlady 1

To make the story short, because of
the continuous empty state of my stom-

became sick. But there is sick and sick
Mine was not in jest. was near death s
door. ,..
Some charitable people telephoned to
the city hospital and an ambulance came

and intot the ambulance they pushed me,
and, quick as wink, they took me to
the hospital, y =. .

my lips. Not the slightest appetite, were
l even to tear myself to pieces. And yet
the lack Of appetite afforded me a great
deal Of pleasure because it saved me the
trouble of looking for a customer for
my shoes and of the necessity of invent
ing new stories to bluff my mistress when
she used to nag me like worm demand
ing to be paid for the hard couch which
made my bones ache. In short, l felt
amidst my new surroundings as if l
had shed my old skin and new one was
being drawn over me. 1 became a new
being Like king I laid there
stretched out on the bed, and the nurses,
young and comely maidens, all dressed
in white, with white little caps like cor
onets on their heads, industriously
moved about my bed. almost melted
away from sheer delight My joy knew
no bounds when the nurse used to come
and sit down by my bed, and, like
mother, ask me how 1 felt. Then the
features Of my face would assume the
expression of crying child, and would
answer that 1 feel pretty bad. In mild
and pleasant voice she then would ask
me to put out my tongue, and like child
1 obeyed her. With one hand she would
place the thermometer in my mouth, and
with the other she took my pulse, looking
all the while at a tiny watch that hung
on her breast. All, it was the taste Of
Eden, my friends. In the seventh heaven
1 was then, and I did not know how to
thank the Ribono shell olam (the Crea-
tor of the worldly who took pity on me
and helped me to get sick. Why 1 am
a man now, regular lord. In the dark
days when was well, may it never hap
pen again, 1 lived like tramp, a hobo
a dog. Now at my side sits dear soul,
a sanity sister who is interested to know
how high or low my temperature is, and
how fast or slow my heart beats. I was
so overcome by my good fortune, my I'M
expected fortune that 1 felt like jumping
and dancing. But I had no strength,
and could hardly move limb.

Not forever doth the sun shine, it must
set some time. Not always does the star
accompany one on the path of life, it
must go out some time And my sun and
my STAR which for short time shone
brightly set and went out. At last
the bitter end came to my unexpected
fortune and gladness, and, may it not
happen to my friends, I unfortunately
got well and strong, strong as a trooper

Stuart P0r Governor.

Hon. Henry g. Stuart, of R ussell
county, member of the State Corpora
tiOn Commission. will be candidate
for the Democratic nomination for
Governor in 1909. Mr.. Stuart made
his first positive announcement last
week and authorized Its publication,
though he will take no active steps
along that line until after he retires
from the Corporation Commission next
February.
Mr.. Stuart is regarded as one of the
best men in the Democratic party in
Virginia. He is a near relative of the
great Confederate cavalry leader whose
name he bears and though he was too
young to be in the army, he has GER
tainly distinguished himself In peace.
Mr.. Stuart's first public place was
as a member of the Constitutional
Convention, and he had much to do
with framing and getting through the
corporation ordinance under which the
commission of which he. is a member
was created. and from which it de-
rives all its vast powers.
AS member of the commission, Mr.
Stuart had particular charge of the
question eff railroad rates and to him,
is almost entirely due the credit for
working out the schedules, classified
ton and the details, in both the pass
enger and freight rate cases.
