CENTER OF POPULATION.
Indications That for the First Time 1t
is Moving Eastward
From Leslie's Weekly.

From Leslies Weekly.
There is a strong probability that the
center of the countrys population, which
from the beginning along to 1900 had been
pushing westward, has reversed its course.
Some light on this point will be obtained in
a few weeks Many states make a count
of inhabitants half way between the ma
tional enumerations. Massachusetts, Rhode
Island, New York New Jersey. Florida
Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, North
and South Dakota, Iowa, Kansas, Utah
and Oregon do this in 1905. Iowa is pre-
dieting practically stationary population
for itself. Only small increase is looked
for in Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota and
Kansas An average is predicted for the
Dakotas, Utah and oregon. On the other
hand, considerable gains are expected in
New York. Massachusetts, New Jersey and
Rhode Island, while Florida believes 1t
shares in the expansion which is making
the south the most rapidly growing section
in the country today. All this would indi-
cate movement of the population center
toward the east for the first time in the
country's annals.
The south is having a prosperity unknown
in its previous history. and II is attracting
settlers from the north and west and from
Europe. The national bureau OF immigra-
ton is helping TO divert immigrants to the
south and thus relieving the congestion in
the great eastern centers. In 1900 the pop
ulation center was close to Columbus. near
the middle of Indiana, having moved west
ward only fourteen miles in the ten years
after 1880, compared with forty-eight
miles in the decade Immediately previous
and hfty-eight miles in the ten years just
before that While this movement of the
population center to the west was steadily
slackening, a movement to the south, which
brought the center two miles nearer to Ma

EVANSVILLE. Nd. July II

HYATTSVILLE Nd, July II, 1905.
Mr.. Matthew Tierney, an employe of the
medical division of the pension office died
at the home of Mr.. n. c. Darnall here early
this morning as the result of a stroke OF
apoplexy sustained Sunday evening, aged
fifty-nine years. Mr.. Tierney, who resided
in Hyattsvile several years prior to last
year, came out from Washington Sunday
afternoon to look after some of his prop
erty here, and was met at the railway sta
ton by his friend, Mr.. Darnell who in
sisted that he should. go to his home and
wait until the cool of the evening before
inspecting his property. While the two
were seated on the porch Mr.. Tierney ex-
cused himself and walked around the place.
Later Mr.. Darnall discovered him lying
on the grass in an unconscious condition.
The dying man was removed to the house
and a message sent to his wife in Washing
ton. He never regained consciousness. The
remains will probably be conveyed to

mite funeral arrangements have been made.

an alarm had been given, but all efforts to
resuscitate the little fellow proved unavail-

Japanese Love Nature.

The Spectator has a friend, a resi-
dent of Japan, now in this country,
who believes that one result of the
increased interest in Japan owing to
the war will be a new appreciation of
that side of its life which finds satis-
faction in simple pleasures, and espe-
cially in natural beauty.
The Spectator suggested the doubt
whether the artistic temperament, the
evolution of one nations peculiar civ
ilization, could be transplanted to OF
adopted by another country of so diff
ferent, not to say Philistlne, a civili-
zation. The friend contented him
self with the reply that in quickness
of apprehending the real value OF
things Japanese and Americans are
essentially alike; and that If a right
beginning were made with the chill
dren. the growth of an artistic tenn
perament would quickly respond.
He then went on to tell of little
experience illustrating how much a
beautiful scene means to all Japan
ese. He was standing with his wife
on the platform of a country railway
station, waiting for the train Toxic
and looking at a beautiful moonrise
when a long freight train pulled in
and stopped exactly where it cut of
the view.
He approached the engineer and
said; My dear sir, l know you have
inadvertently stopped your train
where Il prevents this lady and my
self from seeing that beautiful moon
Can l ask you as a great favor, to
move that train a little farther
along?"
my dear sir" replied the engineer
81 regret exceedingly having been SC
unobserviug, and it will give me great
pleasure to do as you request" And
he at once moved the entire train be-
yond the end of the platform. "Im-
agine," the Spectators friend con-
cluded. 'the sort of reply should
have, should l venture to make a like
request of an engineer here in Amer.
ica!" But the Spectator refused tc
imagine. The language of the prob.
able reply would be quite too dread.

SMILING AND SELLING.
There Are Times when the Two Do
Not Blend Successfully.

"If you cannot learn to smile you
cannot learn to sell" says an exchange.
Now, we are willing to agree that
happy disposition is very essential
quality for salesman to have. But,
taken literally, the statement is not
true. Perhaps 50 per cent Of success
full statesmen sell goods with q smile
and find that 1t pays. But, on the 9th
er hand, there are 15 per cent or more
who scarcely ever indulge in smile
while waiting on customers.
Take, for example, some Of the wom-
en- who make up the highest class Of
city trade-the kind that drives up to
shop in swell turnout enters like
u queen, snubs the floorwalker, seats
herself in a comfortable seat and looks
around impatiently to be waited on. If
you know much about selling this class
of trade you know that if you smile
benignly and perhaps remark about
the beautiful weather you will receive
frigid stare from the customer that
will make you shake. In most of the
stores where this class of trade is ca
tered to you will find statesmen who are
expert at handling it. They sell even
ing slippers, carriage boots, riding
boots, leggings, etc, with cold polite
ness that would drive away an ordi-
nary shopper.
There are times and places for every
thing, and the time and place not to
smile are in shoe store when one of
the human icebergs which inhabit the

considerable skill was required, and
the process was slow. The glass man,
