Mr.. Editor, some of your readers
may not know of Tip Top, 80 | shall
write you something of this most de-
lightful summer resort. 1t is about
four miles northwest from Pikeville
on one of the highest points of the
Cumberland Mountains. 1t has a
spring of chalybeate water that is as
cool ana reTresning as when it slaked
the thirst of the red hunter as he WOO
ed his dusky mate in the primeval for
est and, they say, some intelligent
Anglo-Saxon ladies have been wooed
and won at this spring. There is also
q spring of cold freestone water under
a rocky bluff where many snakes
make their homes and seem to watch
for Halle Hall when she goes there
for water.
There are thirteen houses here own
ed by invalid(?) merchants and farm
ers in the valley, and hither they
bring their families to spend the sum-
mer. Only six of the houses are oc-
cupied at this date, Visitors from
the valley occasionally come here to
visit their friends and get drink of
thecool water. Last Sunday Bryant
Stone brought his mother and sister,
and in the afternoon he took Vera
Vaughn and Halle Hall to "sing-
ing' at Sampson, few miles from
this place. Vera and Halle have been
striving to initiate the good singing
they head at Sampson, but their vote
es are tou weak to cope with those
trained in the pure air of this noun
tain. Brown Boyd occupies an Office
in the suburbs and kills the snakes be-
fore they reach the resident part of
the village. s.AI

Blood Test Indicates That the Pa
tient's Condition Il Perfect.
Another x-7ay Picture
Taken.

Chicago. The advisability Of per-
hitting Colonel Roosevelt to depart
for Oyster Bay was debated at length
Sunday. and not until after his physi-
clans had held consultation at night
did they decide definitely that he
might do SO. He left for New York
at sos A. M. Monday.
Although Colonel Roosevelt's condi-
ton was described as normal through
out the day, it was learned that his
wound had bled considerably and that
he was suffering from nervous exhaus-
ton.
The former Presidents physicians
insisted that both Of these develop
ments were to be expected, and that
there was in them no cause for alarm.
The bleeding, it was explained by DR..
Alexander Lambert, necessarily ac-
eompanied the discharge of serum,
which is part of the healing process.
DR.. Lambert also said that any pa
tient who had been in bed for week
would suffer from nervous exhaustion
and that Colonel Roosevelt needed
only to have absolute rest
Il wish you would emphasize the
fact, said DIR. Lambert, ethat Colonel
Roosevelt is getting on well, but that
any patient who has been in bed as
long as he has will suffer from some
degree of nervous exhaustion"
In spite of the assurances Of the
physicians, it was apparent that some
concern was felt as to the effect upon
Colonel Roosevelt of day and a
night on the train. Mrs. Roosevelt ac-
cepted the judgment of DR.. John B.
Murphy and his associates, although
for, a time after her husbands set
back Saturday night she was doubtful
whether it would be safe to attempt
the journey so soon.
The physicians evening bulletin,
while reporting Colonel Roosevelt's
condition as good, emphasized the
need of absolute quiet.
The position of the bullet which so
nearly cost Colonel Roosevelt his life,
was fixed with precision for the first
time Sunday. Another X-ray photo
graph, the third, was taken, and from
this it was learned that the bullet lay
on the outside of the broken rib. I'M
til this photograph was taken the ply
sicians had been unable to state posi-
lively whether 1t was on the outside
or the inside of the rib.
1--WE know definitely now that the
bullet lies outside the rib where it can
do no HARM" said Dr. lambert. ut
lies in such a position that could
reach the spot precisely through a
small, incision should Colonel Rose
welt desire to have it removed at any
time 1t is matter Of his own pref
erence.'

The Hadfield company was given
