MANY IMMIGRANTS
 FROM HOLLAND

New York, Oct. 6--Assurance has been given to S. L. veenstra, secre- tary of. the Netherlands Emigration League by Immigration Commission CT Wallis on Ellis Island, that the United States authorities will aid in placing many immigrants from Ho1- land who are planning to come to America MT. Veenstra said that many thousands of Dutch were ap- plying for passports to the United States, and that he had established a branch of the Emigration League here.
 There are three principal causes for our people wanting to come here {" said MT. Veenstra. First there is naturally an accumulation of enigrants because of the years of war. Secondly, Holland is being oyercrowded by thousands of war re- fugees from other countries and, thirdly many of our people are sim ply sick of Europe and all things European. But, let it be understood that they are not leaving Holland q

Rheumatism
Remarkable Home Treatmen


 Given by One Who Had It In the Spring of 1893 I was attacked by Muscular and Sub-acute Rheu- matism. I suffered as only those who have it know, for over three years. I tried remedy after remedy, and doctor after doctor, but such relief as I re- ceived was only temporary. Finally, I found a treatment that cured me completely, and it has never re- turned. I have given it to a number who were terribly afflicted and even bedridden with rheumatism, some of them 70 to so years old, and results were the same as in my. own case.
 want every sufferer from such forms of rheumatic trouble to try this marvellous healing power. Don't send a cent; simply mail your name and address and I will send it free to try. After you have used it and it has for means of getting rid of your rheumatism, you may send the price of it, one dollar, but understand, I do not want your money unless you are perfectly satisfied to send it. Isn't that fair? Why suffer any longer when relief is thus offered you free? Don't delay. Write today. Mark H. Jackson, No. 1O6 G, Ours ton Bldg, Syracuse, N. Y.

more trade, but it is interesting to
hear that trade is being improved also
by the export of iron golf heads to

THAT HAPPY DAY
First Lovers Kiss Lingers Always
in the Memory.
"New Hopes May Bloom and Days
May Come, Etc." but That
Sweetness Never Fades.

1t was before your voice and your
nerve had developed sufficiently to
permit you to ask Dorothy Doremus if
you could take her to church prayer
meeting nights, says a writer in the
Seattle Post-Intelligencer.
1t was after you had foresworn
your small-boy scorn of all woman
kind under forty to the extent of per-
hitting Dorothy to walk home with
You when meeting was over.
And then one night the Lewis girls
gave a party and you were invited.
Dorothy was there, and she had on
something pink. 1t was-well, it was
like the haze that fingered about the
newborn Aphrodite, though, of course,
considerably opaquer.
Right there, God or Satan, or may
be the old Adam that lies deep in each
of US, whispered in your ear a most
understanding suggestion.
kiss her." something said Kiss
her on the way home"
Right there, with your eyes on the
slender figure in pink, you swore you
would
Your heart hammered in your throat
when you asked if you could see her
home, and she said you could, with a
smile that made it skip four beats en-
tirely.
You didn't talk much as you walked
through the scented night together,
clamOrOuS with insects singing in the
starlight. Your mouth was dry and
once or twice you thought she was
watching you out of the corners of her
eyes and smiling
oh, Evei
AT last you stood at her gate What
made you stand there, too, waiting
while you stammered inane things and
shuffied your feet and wondered if she
couldn't hear the pounding of your
heart!
well, you said at last sort of gruff-
ly. Guess I'll half to say goodnight"
Goodnight" she said, but she didn't
move.
You took her hand. There never
was Drawer deed.
Then madness and a tidal wave of
enormous force and power over
whelmed you. Your face was on fire
and your hands were freezing, and
some one had hit you in the back of
the head with a baseball bat and the
stars in their courses were singing to-
gether
You had kissed her and the little
boy who had been was gone forever
Where is she now? you wonder
sometimes. And does she know that
no one has ever paid her a cleaner,
fresher, purer tribute than did that
little boy, long ago in the starlight?
To this day you can smell the fra
| GRANGE of her hair.
