now OUR COUNTRY GROWS.

ONLY very few of those who Tor many months past have been arguing for or against expansion have more than a faint idea Of how the United States have expanded during the 1ll years that have elapsed since Great Britian, by the treaty of l1s3, recog' nized our sovereignty over the land we claimed north of the Spanish and east of the French possessions. During all ct these years we have expanded al the rate of 30 acres of land for each min ute. Our 3, ,000, 900 of inhabitants star ted in l7s3 with 55S, S,679, 360 acres of land, which satisfied them for twenty years. Then, in 1903, under an agree ment with France. they consummated the Louisiana purchase. and more than doubled our territory by adding to it the 745. lO3, 36O acres that reach from the Mississippi to the Pacific, in cluiing the mighty expanse of plain and mountain that falls into prairie slopes, dropping to the great river, ex- tending to Canada to the northern lines of California, Nevada and Utah, embracing nearly all of Colorado and including parts of Kansas and the In dian territory. Sixteen years passed, and in 1919 we received Florida from Spain. It included what are now southern portions of Alabama and Mis- sissippi and added to the union 45, 7l9, ,6s0 acres. Then, in lS45, came the annexation of Texas, with l70.247, ,04C acres. Three years afterward we had the Mexican cession of 460. 563, $40 acres that gave us the rich states of Calitor mia, Utah. New Mexico, Arizona and parts of Colorado, Kansas and Oklaho ma. To all of this was added Alaska, in 1897, with its 3s3 ,646, 720 acres and on top of this, more recently, came the Philippines, Porto Rico, Tutuila Guam and Hawaii-partly as result of the Spanish war-adding 9s, 4e2, 1o0 acres. All of these make 1903, 3,172,l70 acres after the treaty of l7s3. Since then there have been 6l, ,405, POO minutes, which divided into the number of acres gives thirty and large fraction of an acre for each minute. During those IF years the population of the expand ing territory had grown from 100000 to s4, 522, ,o2e, which is an increase of four inhabitants for each three min utee.

THE enemies of Judge Webster Street

THE enemies of Judge Webster Stree, seemed to be determined and vicious in their desire to make good their charg- es against him. The Attorney-General of ;the United States examined the charges that reflected on the honesty of Judge Street and found that they were not sustained. NOW 1t is said that an appeal is to be made to Presi- dent Roosevelt from the decision of the attorney. Such action. coming after the successor of Judge Street has been appointed, shows that personal malice is behind the fight on him. Judge Street has the confidence of the people oi Arizona, Democrats and Republicans alike, and he cannot be injured by this last exhibition of personal hatred.

but spend the night In Richmond with
the new.found uncle. and such fun II
was to stay at hotel.
Early In the morning Billy Dick

Norfolk. and soon the engine was
pulling into the station.
And--O. Joy there was Dad anx.
iously pccring through the window for
his boy. lie had jumped on the train
before IL stopped and had Billy Dick
In his arms.
In fact. Billy Dick forgot all about
HIS new.found uncle. for his father
was so glad to see him safe and sound.

This Is my father; don't you re-

gentleman. Your father Is my

There surely was some mistake
somewhere. or was he dreaming?
Aren't you Billy Waters. William

old gentleman laughed and enjoyed
the jokes. and I'm turn told Billy Dick
what he did years and years ago when
he was a boy.
SO the time passed away quickly,
till word was brought 90 them that
there had been wreck ON the road
and that no train could run through TO
Norfolk that night.
But ! must 60 raid Billy Dick.

So Billy Dick ate the rest OF tho
supper. convinced that a small boy
couldn't do much 20 clear the railroad
II they would not even do Il for tho
president Himself.
After the ice cream was finished.
they went 10 the telegraph Office and
sent the telegram.

So Billy Dick started that afternoon.
