NEW DIRECTORY
SHOWS CITY HAS
MADE BIG. GROWTH
Increase Is Recorded in Every
District and i'm Some Sections
Population Is Fully Double
What 1t Was One Year Ago.

The new city directory which will
be out about July IA will announce a
marked increase in st. PauPs popula-
ton. According to the publishers, who
are unable at this date to give the
exact figures, every one of the $50
districts into which the city is divided
for canvassing purposes shows an in
crease in population that is without a
precedent in past years.
Nineteen hundred and three will
show one of the heaviest increases
in st. PauPs population in years." said
T. f. Smith, of the r. l.. Polk Direc-
tory company, yesterday. THE annual
canvass has been completed and we
are now engaged in sorting the names
in alphabetical order and compiling
the data. / am unable to give figures,
but when they are available I am posi-
tive there will be a surprise. Every
district in our list shows an increase
in respect to names, and in some To-
calities the figures of last year have
been doubled"
Few people realize that in city
the size of st. Paul there is a floating
population aggregating $4,000 people,
that is to say, that there are 25, 00O
people who move from the city every
year, and this number and generally
many more come to take their places.
Some of these are transients who re-
main only a few months or a year,
but out of this large number who go
every year there are always some who
have lived in the city many years. All
of these people who leave the city must
be accounted for.
A large force of men has been en-
plOyed on the work this year. Each
man has been assigned to a regular
district for which he was provided
with a map, and although he has now
visited every house and has certified
that he has enumerated every name,
yet he will continue to make daily
trips over his district while the matter
is being compiled to take note of all
vacant houses and of all persons who
have moved into or out Of his district.

Half an hour later he was inquiring

again he stopped at R1kers. But he
did not find her until he drove UP to

with her things on, and the open stove

Now she was 20, round and rosy. and
laughed nearly all the time. barring

At all of which she was composed, be-
ing broken to the first and last named

Damocles, whose common sobriquet

not daring to chance the severance Of
cordial friendship by q declaration Of
his consuming passion.
He knew Happy would laugh. That

Miss Mollett observed this. smiled
broadly and mentally dubbed the un-
fortunate a fool. Possibly a passing
thought of his nickname broadened the
smile She. herself, always addressed
this bashful lover as Mr.. Sears. This
was proper and dignified, but had she
once departed from grace, Damocles
would have greeted it as step in the
direction OF deliverance.
He had had many chances. being high

and so, after an hour or two, when
Miss Lees name came up innuendo
was busy IN q moment. 1t was noticed
that Abner Joy turned red and white
and hitched about uneasily, but it was
quite ten minutes before he stood up
and said:
II see that Miss Lee is not present
here this evening. Does any one know
why?"
She's probably hunting for a man."
replied one Of the girls with a giggle.
while Joe Albright led the haw-haw-

They followed him out. wondering

whom had been turned down, and
shaking his fist under their noses he
said:

has got to stop. The next man who

THE NAN AMONG THEM---By Irvine p.raee

Miss Lee had turned down another
Nloo"er and two young men, and thus
MADE more enemies. Several engage
ments were In danger OF being broken
because Jim, Joe or John would insist
tnat the teacher was the daintiest
daisy that ever called up a class in
geography. The girl knew that she.
was making enemies and being sIurred
ana elandered, but as IL was not her
fault and she had no remedy she main
tanned silence. This subjected her to
criticism again. AS Hannah Jones re-
marked at Mrs. Doolittles quilting
bee:
IF she isn't trying her best TO cap
ture man Of some sort why don't
she come right out and say she
wouldn't marry the best one that ever
wore boots, same as ] do? I tell you
she is sly and deceitful, and she'll sep
arate more'n one lovin' couple before
she gets through with IT."
Before New Years came there was
only one marriagable man for four
miles around who hadn't offered him
self at least once. That was Abner Joy,
a man Of 30, who had a farm of his
own and a sister for housekeeper. He
had admired, but so secretly and mod
estly that Miss Lee had not suspected.
No one mistrusted his feelings until
one evening when there was a pairing
bee at Uncle David Saunders. The
gathering included over forty people,
old and young, and as ii was Miss
Lees week TO board with the Saunders
she ought 10 have been there. She was
not however, and, though the night
had come on with a storm, nobody
worried about the schoolma'am not
even Abner. When he failed to find her
there he argued that she had stopped
at nearer place. In the gathering
were several girls and women with
spiteful tongues, and several young
