'"Ten per cent of the worlds popula-
ton is more or less somnambulistic,"
said a physician, according to the Phil
adelphia Record, "and every one, at
one time or another, has done little
sleepwalking. l myself when a lad
got up, dressed, took my books and
went to school on summer night, my
father following close behind to see
that | should come to no harm.
Blond persons are more apt to be
somnambuIists than dark folk, and in
cold climates there is more somnambu-
lism than in warm ones. In certain
Greenland villages, have been told,
the hut doors are locked from without
by a Waterman in order that those
within may not come forth in their
sleep and maybe freeze to death, but
in Egypt and such like hot lands such
precaution is unnecessary"

The President on Trusts.

In his Boston speech the President
said: LAS far as the antitrust laws
60 they will be enforced. No suit
will be undertaken for the sake of
seeming to undertake it. No suit
will be compromised except on the
basis that the Government wins"
He holds, however, that eve are
not going to get any complete or
perfect solution for all the evils of
the trusts by any single action on
our part. Every one who thinks,
knows that the only way in which
any problem of great Importance
was ever successfully solved was by
consistent and persistent effort ~3w-
ard a given end, effort that did not
end with any one election or any one
year"
In other words, the good old rule,
eff at first you don't succeed, try,
try again"
But he is optimistic enough to be-
lieve that this problem, like all those
with which the American people have
had to deal in years past, will be sat
isfactorily solved. For, "back Of the
law, back of the Administration, back
ofour system of government, lies the
average manhood of our people"
And this "average manhood, higher
of standard than anywhere else on
earth as Americans firmly believe,
will be equal to this or any other
situation that may be presented in
the coming years.

A young man living on Walnut Hills
is a close worker in money matters
that is, he stays close to the shore with
his expenditures. He had the good
luck to marry girl whose parents are
quite wealthy and is at present living
with his wife in one of his father-in-
laws houses.
One day not long since while dis
cussing affairs with friend the latter
asked:
'Did the old gentleman give you that
house"
'Well-er-no, not exactly" was the
answer. "He offered it to me, but
wouldn't accept it."
SLOWS that?" asked the friend.
"Well," answered the man who had
made the lucky matrimonial venture,
"you see, the house really, belongs to
me. I'm living in it, rent free, and I'll
get It when the old man dies. If l &C.

Progress.

Statistics presented in a series of
tables published by the Treasury De-
partment speaks absolutely of the
country's progress in the last cen
fury These show that the area of
the United States was about S27,-
900 square miles in 1900; that it
was increased to 100000 square
miles by the Louisiana purchaee and
to 100000 square miles by the an
nexation of Texas. The area is no W
given as 3,025,O00 square miles and
the population is fraction over 25
to the square mile. The wealth of
the country, which is said to be d" the
true valuation of real and personal
property" is nearly $100,OOO,00O,-
900. This amounts to 81, 235 per
head of population. 1t was only
1907 per head in 1850, the first year
of record; 1913 in 1860 and $3.50 in
1870. Since then it has increased
about 5000 each decade. The net
debt of the country less cash in the
Treasury was less than So per head
in 1860, but the civil war sent it up
to $50 per head and since then it has
been reduced until now it amounts
to less than SIS per head.

not of scheming or planning on the

Morgan and Bishop Potter do not
encourage, on the part of the opera
tors, any new movement towards
Cancellation in the coal strike. The

any hope of truce or of any success
