Ballad.
her ivied door

Tho aud wife sat at her fvied door
Butter and eggs and a pound OF cheese)i
A thing she had frequently done before;
And her spectacles lay on her aproned
knees.
Tho piper he piped on the hilltop high
Butter and eggs and q pound Of cheese;
TIL the COW said, II die" and the goose
asked. "why?"
And the dog said nothing. but searched
for fleas.
Tho farmer he strobe through the square
farmyard
Butter and eggs and a pound Of cheese;
| His last brew OF ale was a trife hard.
The connection of which with the plot
one sees.
| The farmers daughter hath frank blue
Butter and eggs and a pound Of cheese>:
| She hears the rocks cav in the windy
skies.
AS she sits at her lattice and shells her
peas.
| The farmers daughter hath ripe red lips
Butter and eggs and a pound Of cheese;
| II you try to approach her, away she skips
Over tables and chairs with apparent
ease.
| The farmers daughter hath soft brown
hair
Butter and eggs and a pound Of cheese);
| And 1 met with a ballad. can't say where
Which wholly consisted Of lines like
'hese' PART II.
| She sat with her hands meath her dimpled
cheeks.
Butter and eggs and a pound Of cheese);
| And spake not q word. While a lady
speaks
There is hope, but she didn't even sneeze.
| She sat with her hands meath her crimson
cheeks
Butter ard eggs and a pound of chaes9;
She gave up mending her fathers breeks,
And let the cat roll in her new chemise.
She sat with her hands meath her burning
checks
Butter and eggs and a pound Of cheesOi
And gazed at the piper for thirteen weeks
Then she followed him out DER the misty
leas.
Her sheep followed her. as their tails die
them
Butter and eggs and a pound of cheese)
And this song is considered a perfect gem
And as to the meaning, it's what yor
please.

THE DUKE AND DUCHESS
Passed an Interesting Day at and
Near Niagara Falls.

NIAGARA ON THE LAKE, On.
October 13-The Duke and Duchess Of
York passed a quiet Sunday at the
Queens Royal hotel to-day. This
morning some disappointment was
caused among the citizens here, who
understood that their royal highnesses
would attend divine service. Instead of
this, however, the Duke and Duchess
attended a special church service, held
at their hotel, over which the Rev.
Canon Dalton, the chaplain with the
royai suite, presided.
After this service was concluded the
Duke and Duchess, accompanied by
several members of the royal suite,
were driven to the pier, where they
went aboard the steamer Corona and
proceeded to Queenstown. At this
point the royal party boarded a special
electric car of the Niagara Falls Park
& River railway, handsomely fitted up
and they were taken up past the Whirl-
pool rapids to Niagara Falls. The Duke
wore black derby hat and grey tweed
suit. and seemed keenly interested II
the splendid scenery along the line Of
route. The trip was very quiet, and
there was no cheering. A second car
containing several members of the
suite, followed closely after the royal
car.
Luncheon was partaken OF at Ihe
Loretto conventio. After luncheon
the party returned to the Queens
Royal hotel, where dinner was served.
A quiet evening at the hotel concluded
the day. The royal train leaves Niagara
on the Lake at O'Clock tomorrow for

CENSUS STATISTICS
show Many More Males Than Fe-
males in West Virginia.

Special to the Register.
WASHINGTON. d. C., October 13.--
There is a large excess of males over
females In the population of West Vir-
ginia, according to the census bulletin
on sex. nativity and color, the popula-
ton being 92,051 females to every
100000 males. This is worse show
ing than ten years ago. when the pro-
portion was 95,445 females to 900
males. The actual figures of population
by sex are: Total population ASSOC;
males, 499,242; females. Ass, 55S an
actual excess of males of nearly 10000.
No explanation is made in the census
bulletin of this unusual excess, but it is
undoubtedly due to the large immigra-
ton of laborers into the State during
the decade. Susceptible of similar
explanation is the increase of the negro
population in West Virginia. which has
grown 331 per cent as against 25.9
per cent increase in the native white
population. The negro population OF
West Virginia is now 43.499. an in
crease in ten years of 10,S09. The
negroes now constitute a slightly larger
percentage of the States population
than in 1890, the proportion per 100 900
having grown from 4,47S to 4,753 III
1900 The counties in which negroes
are most numerous are Fayettes which
has colored population of 1851 males
and 2,166 females: Jefferson, 1885
males, 1,946 females; Kanawha, 1908
males, 1920 females; Mcdowell, 4,OS7
males, ] ,SS2 females and Mercer, 1854
males, 1.21S females The negro pop
ulaton of Ohio county is GIG males and
632 females. and of Wheeling 519 males
and SAT females. Taking the population
of the city as whole there is a slight
excess of females over males in Wheel
ing, the figures being, males 1901;
females. 1857 There are 5461 persons
of foreign birth in Wheeling and 13,743
native whites of foreign parentage.
The total foreign-born population of
the State is 22,451, an increase of 1873
per cent. and the native whites of for
eign parentage number 1888 There
are but SO Chinese and II Indians in
the State.
The bulletin remarks that in the
population Of West Virginia. is very
largely of native birth, the percentage
of foreign-born being but 2.3 per cent
of the total population, and the per-
centage of both foreign-born and ma
tive-born of foreign parentage being
rs per cent of the total population.
