Ten young fellows pulled of their

Landrum had been arrested by an Of
ficer of the ship. The White Star
Line of Steamships will not allow
passengers of the first and second

fixed between them. But Landrum
received an invitation to go over at 2
o. m. and deliver an Grafton TO the
saints and sinners in the second cab

|leaped the dividing line, and had got
ten his mouth to going in a large and

a uniformed fellow, who asked. are

he answered and with that the OF
fcer led him away, with orders TO go
back to his own. We all gave him
our sympathy because We knew he
would have but poor rest until he had
a chance to give vent to the speech
that was in him. During the after
noon. some one said Landrunl was
the Bunyan of the ship because he
had been arrested for haranguing the
people I consoled the brother by
telling him the trouble could not be-
come chronic, inasnuch as I had

Last night during our Fourth Of
July celebration, the roll of states was
called, and at the call those present
from any given state arose to their
feet. We were amazed to find that
every state in the United States, with
but six or eight exceptions, was rep
resented, including Utah, even, in the
person Of pretty girl about Is years
old. We had music and recitations
and wound up by getting two old vet
erans to shake hands and forgive
each other, one Of them coming from
the South and the other from the
North. They declared they had fired
balls at each other, and wag in the
rear said in undertoneS, Yes, nigh

Down With the Weeds.

This is the time of the year when
everyone is interested in the des.
truction Of noxious, weeds, which al
this season. in town and country
shold be cut down. 1t ought to be a
matter Of personal pride in every real
estate owner to see that his property
is as free from the weed pest as he
may be able to make it not alone that
by so doing he is helping to beautify
for that is but one item; what is more
important is. that by cutting down
the weeds. the spread of disease. as
far as they are repsonsibple for it. is
prevented. Besides. in the country
the value of land is deprecated to a
greater extent than many people think,
because of the presence Of pestiferous
weeds. In an adjoining county an
eastern man who had come west to
buy farm. and who was we'll pleased
with one which had been offered him
at good price, declined to purchase
because the owner had allowed it to
become overgrown with the wild
morning glory. which he knew it
would be almost impossible to get rid
of. Cut down those weeds. The law
requires it to be done before August
10.

FEWER BABIES BEING BORN.
Census Bulletin Shows Steady Decline in
Births Since 1860.

There has been persistent decline
of the birth rate in the United States
since 1860, according to a bulletin
issued by the census bureau. The
bulletin was prepared by Prof. Walter
f. Wilcox of Cornell university.
The bulletin shows that at the be-
ginning of the nineteenth century the
children under 10 years of age con-
stituted one third and at the end less
than one-fourth OF the total popula-
tion.
The decrease in this proportion be-
gan as early as the decade 1910 to 1920,
and continued uninterruptedly, though
at varying rates, in each successive
DECADE.
Between 1850 and 1860 the proportion
of children to women between 15 and
40 wears. the child bearing age, in
creased. but since 1850 it has decreased
constantly. In 1860 the number Of
children under years of age to
/, 900 women was 634; in 1900, only
474.
Considered sectionally it is found
that in the north and west there has
been more or less regular decline.
while in the south the change has
been less regular and the decline less
marked. In 1900 the smallest pro-
portion of children was in the District
of Columbia. The next smallest pro-
portion was Massachusetts,. The largest
preparation was in North Dakota and
Indian territory.
In the general decrease between 1890
and 1900 not single state of the north
Atlantic division took part. In seven
other states. also, there was no de-
crease. In only six states-Ililnois,
Maryland Michigan, Ohio. Kentucky,
and Indiana-did the proportion de-
crease in each Of the five decades.
In 1900. for the United States as a
whole. the proportion of children was
ONLY two thirds as great in cities as
in the country districts. In the north
Atlantic division, however. it was
almost as great in the cities as in the
country. In the southern division it
is hardly more than half as large in
the cities as in the country. while in
the far west the difference is inter-
mediate in amount.
A comparison is made between the
proportion of children born Of native
mothers and the proportion of children
born of foreign born mothers. In 1900
the former proportion was 462. the
latter ITO, the difference indicating
the greater fecundity of foreign born
women. aus
In the Atlantic divisions there was
slight increase in the proportion OF
children born to native white mothers,
and in the south central division there
was but slight decrease. The de-
crease for the whole country. therefore,
was the result largely Of the great de.
crease in the north. central. and west
ern divisions.
The decrease in the proportion of
children born to native white women
was confined chiefly to cities.
The proportion of negro children
born to negro women was largest in
1880 and smallest in 1900. There has
been uniformly larger proportion Of
negro children than Of white children.
That difference more than doubled
between 1860 and 1880. but in 1900
it was less than half what it was in
1880 and less than at any other census
except in 1860.
