WHEN TUMOR Is REMOVED
MEMORY GOES WITH III
Patient on Recovery Left in Condition
of Five Year-0ld Child.

Fort Wayne. Ind, Dec 20.-Recover-
ing from a surgical operation for the
removal of a tumor from his brain,
performed upon him at Chicago. Jesse
w Taylor has been brought to his
home in this city in the mental condi-
ton of a ive-year-old child.
Taylor was editor of an agricultural
publication in Chicago when a strange
development resulted in an almost
complete loss of memory.
Physicians say that Taylor must
now begin to learn as a little child
would and that it will be necessary 70
start anew in teaching him Physic-
ally he is as we'll as ever, but there is
small hope of his complete mental re-
covery.

1000 FEET FROM
ONE GREAT TREE
Wonder Tales From GGOr.
gia'S Great Swamp.

Waycross, Ga, Dec. 20-Hardly a
day passes now but that the invasion
OF the right of way gangs of the Way
cross and Southern Railroad in the
famous Okefenokee swamp brings 20
light stories the equal of which have
mot been heard in this section. and all
of which are vouched for by members
of the party piercing the heart of the
swamp.
The most authentic report of the
size of trees reached in the swamp is
given from one of the Waycross mills
that uses timber from the Okefenokee.
One cypress tree the diameter of
which was nearly six feet, yielded in
cut lumber 7.24S feet.
From farm on the edge of the
swamp an ak handle made of some
hard wood found in the swamp has
been procured that has the record of
outlasting three blades. On either side
of the handle thumb masrk are easily
distinguished. On Obediah Barber's
place lightweod knot, said to have
killed 100 to 200 bears in the swamp,
is highly priced by the descendants OF
Mr.. Barber. In one year alone Mr.
Barber was known to kill eighteen
bears. mostly small ones.
Another bear story that is connect
ed with the Okefenokee swamp has
verification on railroad records. A
twenty-minute delay is charged up TO
bear at ISuwanee creek trestle.
Whether the engineer and conductor
stopped to chase bear or merely to
allow one of the crew to get on with
the prize, is not known The bear skin
was exhibited few days ago and it is
one of the largest killed in that section
in recent years.
Fish stories are also told of the
swamp, the best of which says that
from cypress stumps that are hollow
some fish weighing several pounds are
caught almost every day.

THE HILLS OF REST.
albert Bigelow Paine)

Beyond the last horizons rim,
Beyond adventures farthest quest,
Somewhere they rise, serene and dim,
The happy, happy Hills of Rest
Upon their sunlit slopes uplift
The castles we have built in Spain
While fair amid the summer drift
Our faded gardens flower again.
Sweet hours we did not live go by
To soothing note ON scented wing;
In golden lettered volume lie
The songs We tried in vain to sing.
They are all there: the days of dream
That built the inner lives of men;
The silent, sacred years We deem
They might be and they might have
been.

TRAIN APPLEEATER

He was wise man and merely said:
Well. gentlemen. I'll get them.
Thank you for the suggestion"
The next day Baked Apple and
Cream" was written In red ink on the
bill Of fare. There was q rush for the
apples that startled the restaurant
managers. and several barrels are now
served there every week That sug-
gested the Apple Consumers league.
and we began at once to spread the
work. We went about calling for ap-
pie. and when the restaurants and ho-
tells failed to offer the fruit We made
It our business to make life q burden
to the managers. The apple army grew
like magic and ere long thousands Of
travellers took up the refrain. Up to
that time the dish Of fruit on hotel
tables contained bananas and oranges
We filled up these dishes with apples.
and made baked apple fair partner
with sliced oranges There can be no
doubt that this simple organization
has increased the consumption of ap-
pies by 20 per cent.
Some amusing things have grown
out Of It. The Pennsylvania Horticul.
tural society met at Gettysburg one
year. This is the heart Of the famous
York Imperial section, yet there was
not even the smell of an apple about
the hotel. Some 80 or more guests be.
gan to call for apples. and kept It up
at supper until the proprietor sent out
and bought some Ben Davis. which he
served raw. For breakfast the baked
fruit came on piping hot.
When the New York fruit growers
met at Penn Yam there was served at
dinner an apple pie like mother used
to make" The writer found that the
hotel cook was woman and he sug.
gested that she ought to be made an
honorary member Of the association as
a woman who could take a handful OF
flour. lump Of butter and sugar and
even a Ben Davis apple and make a
pie that would induce a man to buy
