The Heighborly Country Operator Thought
It was UaeIesa

The Feighbofly Country Operator Thought
It Was UaeIesa-
Another OF the many good stories
told at the expense OF the t'cipher tel
egram" Of the modern business world
came up the other day, said the New
York Tribune. n
) A city broker, whose house is in New
Jersey, was Obliged by illness to lose a
day from his business, so he sent word
to his clerk at the Office to let him
know by telegram something of the
days transactions.
. The hours wore on. but no telegram
appeared, and the broker began to be
mystified, not TO say provoked, at the
unaccountable negligence of his fnith-
ful'clerls. The telegraph office was a
mile from his home. and there was.
nothing to be done but to wait for the
mcsscng ar, who didn't come.
Next morning the unhappy subur-
banite stopped on his way to the sta
ton to make inqdiries at the telegraph
Office. The operator was an old town
gossip, with han'interest in ueverybody's
affairs, and greeted his visitor in a
neighborly fashion.
Z Good morning, sir; all we1l; Th6pe?"
"Yes, all Right: say, didn't you get
o telegram for me yesterday?" -

The Worlds Popai Zion.

According TO the latest estimate of
made by the geographical establishment
of Gotha, Germany, the present popula-
tIon Of the world is about fourteen hun
dred and eighty millions. This may be
apportioned as follows. the numbers be-
ing understood as referring to millions:
Europe. three hundred and fifty-seven;
Asia, eight hundred and twenty six; AZ
rica. one hundred and sixty four; Amer
lea. one hundred and twenty two; Aus
tralia. three; Oceanic islands, seven.
Belgium is still the most densely popu-
lated country OF Europe, having five
hundred and thirty to the square mile.
Still taking Europe as a whole the ratio
is less than one hundred to the mile In
the United States. Massachusetts, has
two hundred and twenty-five to the
square mile. while the general average is
only seventeen. 1t is evident that there
is still considerable unoccupied land in
the country, whatever Henry George
may say when he looks into cities, aud
the greatest benefactor is the agency
which can bring the landless to the
land And that is what the Burlington
has been doing for years with its lines
reaching out over ten fertile western
states. and still there are millions of
pleasant acres waiting to be made into
happy homesteads and productive farms.
For information as to the particulars.
