A Tribute,
pancy.

While sitting in the office of the
Gladstone the day before l left for
home last summer, Bernard Caro-
Ian, evidently seeing me from the
street, stepped in and taking me by
the hand, said: Good bye! We
shall never meet again in this world.
l hope to meet you in heaven. "
Cheerfulness and serenity were in
his face as he said this. This
Touch of a" (now) Vanished
Hand" this kindly and Christian
an revoir touched me and left upon
me the pleasantest impression of my
very pleasant visit to River Falls.
Mr.. Carolan, see by late issue
of the JOURNAL, is gone, as is my
old friend, Osborn Strahl. Rest
their souls! here pay my humble
tribute to their memory.
AS the years go by and the gla-
mour of youth no longer obscures
the true meaning and philosophy OF
life, more and more go back with
appreciation and gratitude to the
staunch, sturdy, wholesome, noble
men that were the early inhabitants,
as tillers of the soil, of the grand
ST. Croix valley. All honor to
them

BIRTH RATE ON INCREASE.
Result Shown In Analysis OF Census
Figures for Last Decade.

WoSuIt SHOWN In analysis OF CENSUS
Figures for Last Decade.
Analysis of the statistics on births
compiled by the twelfth census does not
bear out the contention that the birth
rate In the United States Is decreasing.
AT least the figures. baked on what the
compilers of part I Of the vital statistics
say are imperfect data. indicate mat
there was a slight increase in the birth
rate for the dcccnnal period OF levO
100 over that Of 1880 $500. Not the
least interesting feature is that 'ne
greatest increase occurred in the iiorth-
eastern or New England group of states,
which includes New York. In this divis'
lon the increase was IL per LOU. An
analysis of these figures. including the
average annual excess of births over
deaths for the period from 1870 to lvoo.
shows the following results: UNITED
