MORE MALES THAN FEMALES
Proportion of Sexes in the United
States Set Forth in Census
Bulletin.

There are several millions more men
than women in the world. In the Unit
ed States the excess of males over fe-
males Is more than 100000. These and
many other interesting facts are set
forth in a bulletin just published by the
census bureau, which was prepared by
Prof. W. F. Wilcox, of Cornell univer-
sity. The bulletin shows:
In the continental United States
there are 1,638,321 more males than fe-
males, or about two in each 100 people.
American cities, as a rule, have more
females than males. In the 1851 cities,
each having In 1900 at least $500 inhab-
itants, there were 2O9,959 more females
than males, and this, Notwithstanding
the many western cities which con-
tanned more males than females and the
enormous number Of foreign-born In
the country, FIVE ninths of them male
and large proportion Of them living In
the cities.
While the excess Of 1929 males in
American cities in 1890 became an excess
Of 210 ,959 females in American cities in
1900, the excess Of 1,519,559 males in the
country districts in 1890 became an ex-
cess Of /, SAC, 2S9 males in 1900.
Notwithstanding the great excess OF
males in the total population OF the
United States there are two periods or
life at which the reported number OF
females is greater. One, extending from
about SO years Of age to the end OF life,
Is probably due mainly to the longer av-
erage life of woman; the other, from 10
to rs, is probably apparent rather than
real, and due mainly to the greater num-
Der Of women who claim, enormously, 10
belong to this age period.
In 1900 among the 1887 ,147 persons
attending school. 499 in each 1000 were
male and sol female; in 1890 in the same
class, $40 per 1000 were male and 400 fe-
male
The death rate of males in the regis
tration area of the United States in lsOo
was 1910 per 1000, and that OF the fe-
males 1876 per 1000, the former having a
death rate higher by about one-seyenth
than the latter. In the 346 registration
cities the death rate of males was 2O.O
and that of females 17.2 per 1000, the
male rate exceeding the female by one
sixth. In the rest Of the registration
area the male death rate was l5.S and
that of the females $50 per 1000, the
male rate exceeding the female by one
nineteenth.

Secrets of Long Life.

A London newspaper has been asking
a number Of very old men for the secret
Of their long life. The replies are of the
sort commonly heard. One lives long be-
cause he has taken wine every day in
moderation, another because he has
never tasted wine; one finds sovereign
virtue in moderate physical exercise.
another is convinced that he lives long
because he keeps his body quiet and his
mind active. All Of which means that
each man has followed his natural in
clination, never exceeded the measure
fixed by good sense, and really thought
little or nothing about it-St. Louis

TWO KISSES
BY MARGARET VAN METRE
look, there's Tom Pat


why, so it is" answered her mother
"He must have come out from the city
for a summer vacation. Well" And
she settled down in her chair with the
ever present mending at her side, while
she looked with slightly questioning
glance at her daughter.
WELL" echoed Marion to herself.
But she said nothing, and soon wan
dered into the yard, book in hand, to
the hammock which swung idly out I'M
der the trees.
Marion Haddon and Tom Patterson
had been playmates ever since, as one
old neighbor used to express 1t, Marion
was knee high to grasshopper. They
had played together, gone to school TO-
gether, and through it all had been
friends
Then Tom had gone away to college,
and after a year or two at an eastern
university, had gone to New York city
where he had been ever since employed
In the office of noted architect; for
Tom was an expert draughtsman and as
such had secured fine position. AL
ways a bright youth, he had settled down
to his chosen business with spirit of
energy that showed plainly that he was
serious in the choice Of a profession;
and with persistence that had sur
prised even his closest friends, he had
continued at the same work, in the same
Office, until now four years had passed
since he had taken q vacation Of any
sort and since he had revisited the scenes
of his boyhood trials and pleasures.
During these years, Tom had paid
little attention to the girls. In his early
days the people of Martinsburg thought
he was rather in love with Marion Had
don; but he had stayed away so long,
and Marion had. been so happy and
lively in the company Of various other
of the village youths, that it was decided
by the wise ones of the town that there
wasn't anything in 1t after all. But
when it was rumored on this beautiful
July day that Tom Patterson was in
town, there were not few who, like
Marion's mother, thought Questioningly
Of her and wondered.
Marion herself wondered, too. TON

how will he think l look? wonder if
he" The pause was suggestive of
some deep question, but Marion did not
finish, even to herself the thought that
was in her mind. She sat for some time
thinking. She thought of all the good
times she and Tom used to have to-
gether. How she hated to have him go
away! And he said he was sorry, too.
Did he mean It? She wondered again.
Her earliest memory Of him required to
her mind, such a provoking recollection
that was, and always so vivid a one.
Try as she would, she could never quite
forget 1t.
She was very little girl then, and
unusually bashful at that. A crowd of
little people were playing in Toms yard
one hot afternoon in summer. The
game was "King William" Most OF
those in the game were older than
Marion and evidently thought it would
be fun to play little trick on her. Tom
was in the center. Around him the
others circIed, singing as they went;
"King William was King James son,

a Colt That Assis ted.

One rainy day farmer opened the
barn door and tried to call in the cows,
so that he would not have to walk in the
deep mud to drive them. One COW re-
fused to come, although he called her
name repeatedly. A colt. standing at
the other side OF the yard. watched him,
as he vainly tried to drive the COW with
out stepping into the mire. Then the
colt quietly stepped up to her and bit
her. OF course she moved. He followed,
living her q nip whenever she moved In
the wrong direction, until she went
through the door into the barn. Then he
trotted back to the other side Of the
yard.

A HERO.

We saw the colonel ON parade.
A most imposing sight he made.
His swelling chest, his bearing proud.
His voiceAperemptory and loud
With awe inspired the gazing crowd.
You really should have heard him when
He shouted orders to his men.
Yes, when he roared those orders out
You should have seen them march about,
In prompt compliance with his shout.
Oh, very dignified was he
AS martial as a man can be.
10 haughtily he held his head,
His gills became so very red,
So turkey -cocky was his S-ead.
We later saw him when he seemed
Far meeker than we could have dreameo
His step was soft. his voice subdued,
His rudy cheek was chalky-hued,
With terror he seemed quite imbued.
In such a man as he twas queer.
But he was overcome with fear.
He born to threaten and command!
A rank poltroon with trembling hano'
And knees that hardly let him stand.
We marked his look Of wild despair.
We heard his wife's voice on the starr.

Exposition on June l, the demand for
exhibit space py manufacturers and

that not only is every square foot of the
original provision contracted for, but
much additional space as we'll.
Some time ago it was found necessary
to order an additional Exposition
structer, which is now being built.
The new building, which bears the
name Palace Of Manufactres, Liberal
Arts and Varied Industries, will con-
tain 80 900 square feet of exhibit space,
eQualing in size the Agricultural Pal
ace, at present the largest structure on

1t has been found necessary to add
to the space in the Palace of Machinery,

two winSs, one at each end, each wing
to be l00xl00 feet. The building as it
