She brings her pretty knitting Cbless herd

That by and by Will serve to dress her
In new and charming graces.
She sits and rocks. her rocker Ginning,
In measured cadence, to my rhyming
Sometimes with eye that proudly glistens

She counts her stitches while she listens,
Or pulls a thread, to make 1t fit in
And, with her gaze intent upon 1t,
Asks what they pay me for sonnetY'
She little knows of rhyme or metre.
And cares still less, but asks me whethe
Chiffon and roses wonid look sweeter
To trim her hat, than jet and feather?
And while I'm 'framing odes to Cupid
She tells me Poetry is stupid!'
But oh, her eyes! Her silken lashes-
Her hairs sweet mutinies-the dimples
In cheek and chin--the outward flashes
OF inward smiles-her tranquil. simple,
Enhancing air! Did she but know it

Persons who suffer from indigestion

Persons who suffer from indigestion
can not expect to live long, because
they can not eat the food required to
nourish the body and the products of
the undigested foods they do eat
poison the blood. 1t is important to
cure indigestion as soon as possible,
and the best method of doing this is to
use the preparation known as Kodol
Dyspepsia Cure. 1t digests what you
eat and restores all the digestive or
gans to perfect health. w. r. Smith

The Russian government is to try
American coal aboard its American

of Virginia mines. The first cargo
to be shipped to the imperial admiral
ty was cleared at Norfolk. Va. the
other day in the British steamship

satisfactory it is stated that the Rus

use of the famous fuel will become

England has already had success
with American fuel. The French fleet
in western waters has already been

Ought to Be 800, 900, 900.
estimate Made by Robert p. Porter,
Using Previous Records rs a Ba-
sis-Does Not Expect Proph-
ecy Will he Realixed.

Taking all previous records as a
basis" said Robert r. Porter, the for
ner director of the census, "the pop
ulation of the United States at the
close of this century ought to be at
least 300,OoO,O0OO, but no one can
prophesy this with the hope thatit will
be approximately correct. At the be-
ginning of the nineteenth century
statisticians of prominence estimated
that the population of the United
States at this time would be 1000, 900.
These predictions were based on in
crease prior to that time. The natural
increment of healthy country like
England is 1H per cent. year, or
about Is per cent. a decade; by this is
meant the augmentation by birth. CIV
ing no consideration to the growth by
immigration.
''If we should increase at the rate of
1h per cent. year by natural means
and continue along these lines for the
next 100 years the population would
be 300, 1000, 900, not counting the increase
by immigration, but there is much in
the census statistics of ten years ago
and the present to cast doubt upon the
anticipated heavy increase.
''In the larger cities of the country,
for instance, the tendency is appar-
emily to small families. In some of the
large cities the size of the families has
decreased from five to four children
Suppose that in the next 30. 40 or 50
years the decrease in the number OF
children to the family is from four to
three, the effect would be great. Then
later. if the decrease should be to two
children, as is the tendency in France
the increment in population would al
most stop.
There is no doubt that as the popu.
lation of the country increases the fight
| for life becomes more bitter and seri
Gus. In France, as is we'll known, the
population is at standstill. In the
course of few years the young peo
pie of this country might conclude, by
reason of a desire to evade too mucf
responsibility in family affairs, tha
they will not marry until they are sew
eral years older than the average pc
riod of marriage now. A wait of on,
year would make difference of 1000.
