KEEPS PROFANITY CENSUS.
Washington Man Declares There Are
2l,oe3,179 Swearing Men in
the Country.

ness for statistics, pushing to one side
big volume OF census reports, a bull
ietin from the bureau OF education, and
pile OF copies OF a religious publication.
I'm this country are p ,O53, 179 male per-
sons who swear"
How do you figure that out?" asked
the patient listener.
ITS easy enough" replied the man OF
many figures. "All you need Is 10 bo
able To read, add, subtract, divide and
multiply.
According TO n table i'm this volume
the male population OF the United States
In 1900 was 39,O59.242. From the same

ton we have left IL. 729, 423 boys. Very

OIL CENTER GOING WEST.
Territory Across Mississippi Produces
More Than That in East Accord
ing to Statistics.

Notwithstanding to a re-
port issued by the geological survey,
the total output Of crude petroleum
in the United States in 1904 was H.
0G3.42 barrels. The total value was
SOL. 170,4G6. The gain over the pro-
duction of 1903 was 1902, OS4 barrels
in quantity and s6,476.4l6 in value.
For the first time the quantity of oil
produced west OF the Mississippi river
was greater than that produced east
OF thu riySr. New pools were dlscov-
cred in Texas, California. Kansas, In
dian territory and Oklahoma, and
many extensions were made to the old
fields.
The report says all indications point
TO an increase In the production of
petroleum in the United States for a
series of years.
The increased demand for petroleum
In this country is attributed to the
use OF that article In automobiles.

road to the church, and back into
blither old Christmases when he had
toiled robustly, with his assistant. high
up in the crazy tower, and they had
kept the three bells swinging and
pealing joyously from eight O'Clock till
midnight, with short rests between
whites. and one long rest when steam
ing hot coffee and toast had been car
ried up the narrow, steep stairs to
them by a homely, CHEEKY little wom-
an, who was his wife, and a merry
eyed. winsome maid. who was their
daughter Alice.
But that had happened for the last
time-how m;ny Christmases ago?
Why. already eight winters had
showed over that mound in the church
yard. And this was the fourth year
since Alice had deserted him in his
loneliness, and he had set himself to
forget her.
He had not forgotten yet. though;
nor forgiven her.
In defiance of his imperative be-
hests, she had married the ne'er-do-
weel son of a tradesman in the town
yonder, and they had gone away to
London. She had written TO him thrice.
but he burned her first letter and re-
turned the others unopened, and, if
he had not forgotten her. her name
was never on his lips.
At length. few months ago. the
village heard that her husband was
dead. She had written to a neighbor
saying she and her baby were desti-
tute. and begging that she would in
/ tercede and ask her father to forgive
! her and let her come home.
But Bargle, mindful of his dignity.
hardened himself. and, resenting this
intercession as an impertinence curt
ly advised the peaoemaker not to med
die In his business again; hot words
passed between them. and she flung
on In such whirl of Indignation that
her reply to Alice apparently scared
the girl from attempting any further
overtures
Absorbed as he was in these regret
full reveries, a sudden sound broke in
upon him, and he started, CHANGING
Around dazedly and wondering wheth-
er he had been asleep.
But no!-as he listened, breathless.
the sound was repeated; a single deer
clang of the church bell.
No wind was stirring. and he had
the keys of the belfry; yeti was no
trick Of his imagination, for. after a
tense interval, another dull clang
echoed down the night; and presently
another, like the booming of a funeral
knell.
With chill creeping up his spine,
the gray, gnarled old man recalled a
Msead that the belfry was haunted nv
the ghost of man who had wronged
a friend, and, in a fit OF remorse. had
flung himself from the tower on some
forgotten Christmas; BargIe had
