Letter to E. Wise.
Green Forest. Ark.

Dear Sir: You buy your horseshoes and nails; your grandfather, if he was a black smith, made lem. You can't af- ford to hammer them out by hand, when you can buy as good or better perhaps. readymade to your hand, for a little more than the cost of the iron.
 What do you think of a paint CT who goes on buying his linseed oil and whit elead, and mixing, and tinting by hand, and charg- ing his time for work that is far better done than he can do it, done by machinery, done as your horseshoes and nails are made.
 Mistake isn't it?
 He is wasting his chance in the world. There is no better stuff to do business with than good horseshoes and paint; and no better work than putting them on. Good horseshoes we'll put on: It's the putting 'em on that makes you blacksmith; no matter what makes lem.
 Who wants to go back to the old times, and make his own horseshoes?
 Between us two, that painter don't know how to make good paint-he used to; put paint has run way from him.
 Yours truly
 r. w. DEvoE & Go. New York, Chicago and Kansas City.

dath of three who have pledged themselves to attend our reunion. However, I have hopes that we shall have at least 100 by that time who will be able to attend. We must-and this can best be accomplished by proper circula' tion of the news of the coming event and invitation to this af- fair; and to this end nearly everyone who is to take part are doing their best. I repeat the invitation to all over ninety years old, entire expenses to be borne by me; and you may have this letter publishedi in your home newspaper, if you like, which will probably be brought to the at- tention of some others old enough to get in on "our coming fun." My other letter published in your daily paper was repub- lished in several other papers in different parts of the country, which was the means of several old people having our reunion brought to their attention and who have subsequently, written me for particulars and are now pledged to join in our grand re- union.

protection but cannot tell why. I do not think we have had over eight inches of snow at any one time, but a few miles av av it has been three and four feet deep. I have been here twelve months and it has showed in every month except July. It very often snows in May and June, after the grass and flowers are up four or five inches high. It is not an unusual thing to see the green grass and the flowers sticking up through the snow and when it melts away they look just as fresh as they do there after rain.
 I am in sixty miles of the great old Rockeys. l can stand in my door and look northwest and southwest and see them for ninety miles. It is a beautiful scene, as they are always cover- ed with snow.
 We'll, 1 will close for this time as I am not feeling very well to- night. One of my cows kicked me in the mouth the other night and I have had very bad taste ever since. Success to THE TRIB- UNE. It is welcome caller every Saturday.

uTruth Again Proves Stranger
 Than Fiction.o

Than Fiction.o
 Under the above heading The Eureka Springs Daily Times Echo of the 13 inst contains long letter which Mr. Maxfield Barber ot that city has received from his friend John B. Bundren of St. Louis, part of which we publish below, and those who read 1t will fully realize the fact that truth is in reality sometimes stranger than fiction.
 Tn order to make the letter the more ineligible to our readers,it might be we'll to explain that MT. Barber of Eureka Springs is 100 wears old and that Mir. Bundren of St. Louis is 101 years old; that the two have been for a long time close personal friends; that Mr. Bundren is a man Of consld; erable wealth and that he is en- deavoring to bring about a reun- ion of all Americans who have passed the age of nintey; that MT Bundren is to be married in Eng land August 26th. 1907 to a woman that he has not seen for seventy five years. We repuo- fish only that part of MT Bun- dren's letter which relates to his approaching marriage. It is as follows:-
 "In reply to your question in regard to my wife-"Not yet, but soon"-as the slang goes. I have never been married-and to that, many of my facetious friends attri bute my present fine crop of hair on the top of my head the girl of my boyish fancy and love, having been taken back to England against both her and my wishes, by her parents, over three quarters of a century ago they, having objected to our marriage. Not being able to find her address, she was lost sight of until recently, although love for her has never waned, she having been my ideal, ] have elected to remain true to my ideal and have never been able to love another woman as I do her; so have remained single. Some six months ago, one of her home papers in England had publishe d an article taken from an Ameri- can newspaper in regard to our reunion, which she chanced to read. She immediately wrote to me, believing that I was tic Romeo of her girlhocd; she, too. had never married-wai ing. waiting, wishing like all Roman cists do. My reply was immedi. ate, fully setting forth the details of our reunion, with the proposal that our marriage take place on August 26th 1907-her tooth birthday-at our reunion, which day is to be the grand day of this great occasion. She assures me of her perfect health and, of course, we both are more pleased and delighted than the most eloquent or poetic words may ex- press at our prospective mar riage, which for so many years has been a cherished, thcugh ap. parently a hopeless dream, born and succored by an ideal and per- feet love. I leave here for Eng land for her in the twilight of May or the rosy dawn of June, there being five others from Europe over ninety years old, who will accompany us on our return to this country and attend our re- union. Since my last communi- cation to you, six more over ninety have pledged themselves to join us in our amusement at the coming reunion: but I regret to inform you that have also recently been notified of the

K. F, Kirkham Writes From
 Canada.
Dog Pond, Alta, Cana


 April 5, 1907.
 Editor of THE TRIBUNE:-I have now been in Canada a year and I fall upon this plan to write to my friends in Arkansas, as postage stamps are 80 high in Canada I can not write to them all for two cents any way ex- cept through the columns of THE TRIBUNE.
 When I landed in this country Handed in a blizzard and it is still raging. We have had snow on the ground ever since the 7th of October and the Lord only knows when it will leave. When one snow gets almost melted off, two more will fall. Old settlers here say this is the worst winter they ever saw. The thermometer has range from zero to fifty de- grees below all winter. One hundred miles north of here it was 6S below, so if any of you are thinking of coming here, I would advise you to put your selves in cold storage before you start.
 But 1 must say that Canada is the best grain country I ever saw. Wheat made as high as 56 bushels per acre here last year, oats 1O5 bushels, barley 60 bushels. Wheat is selling for 90 cents per bushel, oats for 9 cents per bushel, and barley 30 cents per bushel.
 We can also raise fine crops of potatoes, turnips, cabbage, beets, lettuce and onions but there is no use to plant any kind of tender plants.
 We have good horses and cat- tie here. A good team of horses weighing 1400 pounds will bring S400.00. Good milk COWS sell for S40.00, beef ' cents per pound, dressed pork g cents per pound, bacon IS cents, eggs 25 cents per dozen, hens 5000 per dozen, butter 9 cents per pound, hay S6.00 per ton, flour S2.75 per cwt., sugar 6 cents per pound, dried apples 16 cents, dried peaches 18l cents, tomatoes 20 cents per can apples S7.O0 per bbl., salt S3.65 per bbl., coal oil 40 cents per gal. lon. Boots, shoes and wearing apparel of all kinds are about one-t third higher here than they are there.
 We havo good society here and 1 must say that we have as good neighbofs as any one could ask for. We have . nice Sunday School, a debating society and will have a day school soon. The country is building up very rapid ly. This spring will just about wind up the outside range. Land is advancing very rapidly. Land that sold for S4 .0O per acre when l came here is selling for $10.OO now and some of the land has been taken off of the market to await a greater advance. Il was lucky enough to get me a good homestead, which I am very proud of.
 MT. J. T. Capps and his boys nave SUO acres of fine land, all joining, which makes them a very fine ranch. They have over 100 head of cattle on this ranch now and they are intending to milk about 100 COWS this summer and have the milk made into cheese. Mr. Capps is one of Car roll county's old boys.
 We are expecting storng ad- vance in the price of cattle as thousands of head have died on account of the hard winter.
 The snow does not get so deep here as in the surrounding coun- try. It seems that we have some

Plan to House Patients on Randall's Island

The Health Department is considering proposal
which 1t intends referring TO the Hospital Commits

Honkers, specialist in the disease, recently sug-
gested to Commissioner Darlington that the Hos
pital Commission institute a municipal control of
the disease by seEregatinE consumptives to pre-
vent contagion, at the time permitting the
sufferers TO keep employed and provide for those
depending upon them.
DR. Sherman suggested that municipalities pro-
vide dormitories for working people afflicted with
tuberculosis, said the Commissioner yesterday.
