CONJUGAL STATISTICS SHOWN BY CENSUS
Maine New Hampshire Vermont Wdowers Texas
Leads in Divorced WOmen. Census Shows 3785 Married Girls
and 647 Married Boys Under Fifteen Years of Age

When the census enumerators made
their rounds they found in the United
| States 667 boys under Is years of age
who were married.
This is one of the interesting facts
disclosed by the census report on the
conjugal condition of ;she inhabitants
of the United States. There were
3,765 married girls under 10 years of
age. The "infant widowers under Is
nun bered 38, and infant widows 1876.
There were boys and 30 divorced
, girls under Is. New York and Penn,
svlvania led In the number of boy
husbands, each having A. Texts led
in the number of girl wives, having
347.
The proportion of young women who
are married is greatly in excess of the
number of young men, as the figures
show that of the total number of males
between the ages of Is and 10 years
only one per cent are married, while of
the females of the same ages 1919 per
cent were married. More men are
married between the ages of % and 20
than at any other age, while more wo-
men are married between the ages of
20 and 25. The figures show that if
woman reaches the age of 35 without
being married her chances become
very slim.
The figures show that there were in
the United States 27,849, 761 married
persons, 36. 8 per cent of the total pop
ulation. The married males numbered
l4,O03, 798, or 35.9 per cent of the total
male population. The married females
numbered 3,S45, 1863, or 37.2 per cent
of the entire female population. The
excess of married men over married
women is due largely to the fact that
many foreigners who come to the
United States leave their families be-
hind them. OF the males Is years Of
age and over $40 per cent were mar
ried, and of the females of - years
and over 53.9 per cent were married.
ILLINOIS MARRYING MEN.
In proportion to the male population
more men get married in Illinois than
in any other state IL the union, the
per centage of married men TO the to-
tai number Of males - years of age
and over in that state being f57.7.
Though the number OF women in the
newly settled states and territories of
the west is less in proportion than in
the eastern states, the women who go
west have better chance of getting
husbands. Oklahoma is the best place /
for women who are looking for hus-
bands. OF the total female population |
in that territory 69.6 per cent were
when the census was taken. |
Of all the places under the jurisdiction
of the United States, however, the
Hawaiian Islands would seem TO be
the paradise of the husband hunter,
for 77.9 per cent of all the women in
the islands were married.
The largest percentage OF single
men in the United States proper was
in Wyoming, where $50 per cent were
reported unmarried.

dience that will pay the greatest val
ue to himself.
Emperor Williams interest in this
question is claimed by many to be
but fad in keeping with his erec-
ton and dedication Of a church at
Jerusalem, and into which he is in
weighing German capitalists who hope
to reap a financial gain. But what
ever may be the reason back of Ger
many's expansion in western Asia,
Russia is simply striving for the nee
essary from both a political and
commercial standpoint. She realizes
the need for an opening on the south
if her great southern provinces are
to be developed commercially, and
she is to hold her position in Asia
politically. But Russia has more
than the sultan to deal with, she has
also England, and England watches
every move of the bear. Russia has
pushed steadily westward to the Pa
cific. Now she must push southwark
to the Indian ocean, and to accom-
plish this she is now straining every
end. Up to the present time she has
worked quietly, establishing her in
1uence in northern Persia without

the Russian path to the Holy Sepul-
cher. Thus two of her ambitions
have been given a setback that years
of the finest of Russian diplomacy
cannot remedy.
But the realization of Russia's de-
sire for an outlet to the Indian ocean
is not yet entirely frustrated, and
while recent occurrences have but
added new entanglements for her to
unrayel, she hopes yet to accomplish
her purpose, and proposes by run
ming her own railway south to the
Persian gulf to paralyze the German
line commercially, and to Illustrate
it's object strategically.
Before discussing the Russian rail-
way projects it is necessary to indi-
cate briefly the scope of German
ambitions in this part of the world.
They are far more important than
the mere construction Of a new com
Inercial route. This feature is by no
means a new one, for several surveys
have been made in years past for
lust such line by England, but that
government was stopped by the OPP
position of other powers. But Ger
many would do more than this. She
would revive the life and interest in

THE FOOLHARDY PESSIMIST.
Though Favored of Fortune He
Looks Only for Shadows and Is
Miserable Accordingly.

Apessimist is his own worst enemy,
He refuses to walk in the light, but
willingly shuts his eyes to the prog
ress of civilization and to the beau
ties of the universe, closes his ears
to the joyous sounds of life and to
the music of nature, and turns away
from everything that would prove to
an unbiased mind the falsity of his
creed, says Success.
Though Fortune has showered her
gifts upon him, though he may pos
sess every advantage that wealth and
education can give, though he be
young, healthy and vigorous, the
pessimis6 looks only for shadows. Is
it any wonder that he sees only
shadows? Looking only on the dark
side of things, is it strange that he
sees only the wrong side?
The sun, the flowers, the trees and
the green earth smile at him in vain.
The low whisper of the wind among
the trees, the rhythmic melody of the
brook as it ripples over its pebbly
bed, the glad trill of the birds, the
myriad voices of love and life cannot
reach the brain of one anaesthetized
nv nessimiSrn.

having awakened the suspicious of
England. The people of northern
Persia have seemed more than will
ing to exchange the weak rule of
the shah for the strong hand of the
car, and all plans were working nice
~ until Germany took a part in the
plan of regeneration for this sec
ton of Asia.
Germany has planned a direct line
of railway through from the Allan
tic to the head of the Persian gulf.
For this she has secured concessions
from the sultan that gives her per
mission to cross the Bosphorus at
Constantinople and build down
through Mesopotamia. Such line
is even now partially built, and Rus
sia's fear is that England will take
advantage of a concession which she
holds and build a line westward from
India to strike the German line, and
thus shut her off from her desired
connection with the Persian gulf.
Russia sees, also, a menace to the
realization of two others of her am
billions in this new friendship be-
tween the sultan and Germany She
still clings to the possibility of one
day being mistress of Constantine
pie, once the great fount and center
of the Byzantine church, and the
source of inspiration of so much in
Russian religion and art. Another
of Russia's ambitions is to some day
rule the Holy Land, and to see the
Greek cross triumphant where the
crescent has so long held sway. And
now comes the German concession
for a railway cutting right across

~N COMMERCIAL and political
MT competition between the
MNTN nations of Europe bids fair
Ssg to be the rejuvenating
NIM force that is to cause the
ancient east, the father
land of modern civilization, to bloom
anew Into the ancient centers of
Christianity and Mohammedanism
are they attempting to push not only
their commercialism, but their po-
litical intrigue as well. The political
features of the conflict is, of course,
but a necessary adjunct to the com
meTcialism.
For the purpose of this rejuyena-
tion railroads are being builded, an
cient irrigating works replaced or re-
paired, improved agricultural meth
DDS introduced, and, in fact, it would
seem that nothing is being left I'M
done that will add to the value of
these ancient countries commercially
or industrially.
In this struggle for control of the
ancient seat of civilization Germany
and Russia are making strenuous eff
forts for supremacy. For both of
them the "Sick Man of Europe" at
COnstantinople holds the key to the
situation and he is playing to the au-
