WHY he WAS soRRoWFUL.
Story with Chilly Finish Of Love-
making in Cold Lat
itTdes.

The schooner Margaret had been
cruising up the coast of Labrador, sell
ing salt to the fishing settlements, and
had finally put in at a far northern native
village. Many of the people fastened to
go on board. SO encased and bundled
up in furs that the sailors could hardly
tell one from another One Of the num-
Der, young man, sat about with such
depressed air that the sailors began
to speculate on the cause
They all agreed that he was the most
king individual they had
ever seen: for days they wondered what
the matter was. Each one Of them
guessed. but all guessed wrong. They
found out the sad story from a trader
who visited them-a man who could
speak the native dialect.
Bill" said the captain to this trader,
there's a fellow sitting over there in
the lee of the rail who is the sorroWful-
est-looking human being I've ever seen.
We all want to know what's the matter
with him. Find out, will you
The trader was obliging, and for half
an hour he jabbered back and forth
with the native; and occasionally Bill
smiled, and once or twice he laughed
At last he came back to us.
It's quite story he said. This
young man was in love with a girl, but
her father was set against the marriage
In that situation it is a common prac-
tice round here to steal the girl. Most
all marriages here mean a seizure and
abduction of the bride, and SO this
young man prepared to run off with his
sweetheart, no matter whether her fam
lily was willing Or not.
He got an outfit Of dogs and sleds,
which cost him a good deal of money,
and one night he went to her hut and
crept In. He didn't want her to cry
out. SO he stuffed something in her
mouth and tied her up with ropes until
she and her furs looked like a bag OF
meal. Then he tied her on the sleds
and, rejoicing at his success, drove all
night to get away from her father
When daylight came he stopped. un-
tied the ropes and pulled the fur hood
back from her face. And then came
the sad part Of the story. 1t wasn't the
girl at all that he had stolen-it was the
old man. o-Youth's Companion

Never Saw a Chalybeate.

An American engineer and architect,
Col. Charles Nichols, has recently re-
turned from England, where he spent
several years, mainly in constructing
and remodeling pretentious country
seats.
One of my employers, said Col.
Nichols. was London tradesman who
had amassed a fortune. and contracted
with me to alter country place he had
bought to retire to. On it was fish
pond that hi. decided to clear out. When
it was drained we found at the bottom a
spring of eo1ored mineral water. I told
my employer that he had found a ehaIyb-
cate,
I'm glad of it. said he, asI never
saw one. Put it in the basket with the
other fish and Ill be over to look at il
directly. m Y. Herald

DIE ever notice. inquired the trav.
cling man. according to the New York
Sun, how the women ii a sleeping car
seem to sleep with one eye open all
night in order to be the first to reach the
Women's dressing room at daylight in
the morning? And how the first up
makes about four strides of it to the
women,s dressing room and bangs the
door thereof in the faces Of all the other
women, who quickly tag after her. and
then proceeds to spend an hour and ~
minutes in primping, while the other
women stand outside the door thinking
things of their sex that are sin and a
shame, and ever sometimes banging on
the locked door with their impatiently
cIenched hands?
We'll. recently saw-or,rath
heard dead new one on sleeping car
IT was on trip from New York to
Chicago. and the train was due in Chi
ing. There were five show girls Of an
extravaganza company moving from
New York to Chicago on the sleeping
car. Two Of them occupied the berths
in the section next to mine
Exactly at $50 o'clock in the morn
ing, when the train was still two and a
half hours from Chicago, was prodded
ont of sleep by tbs tremendous buzzing
of a bell
What dye s'pose that bell was? Oh,
just a plain. everyday 99-cent alarm
clock of the common. or garden, variety.
THE chorus girl in the lower berth in
the section next to mine had set the
thing at that unearthly hour SOS 10
make dead certain that she'd get first
whack at the women S dressing room in
the morning. By the time the alarm
CLOCK stopped its Internal racket every
man in the car had his head poked out
between the curtains.
Then the show girl, in a long kimono
with her sun locks hanging down her
back, and lot of makeup gear tightly
elutched to her bosom, appeared in the
aisle. making hotfoot for the women,s
dressing room On her way down the
aisle she gave her sisters of the chorus
the hoarse boot
It's elammy, moist morning, she
remarked to them as she sped. when
your little playmate Bertha gets it where
Tecumseh wore the e1ks' teeth, and
then she banged and locked the dress
ing room door, and maybe she alone
wasn't worth the price OF a ticket when
she reappeared about an hour and
quarter later

MEN ARE IN THE MAJORITY
Shown in Statistical Report Recently
Issued by the Census
Bureau.

Men are in the majority in the United
States to the extent Of ZIG in each 10 900
Of the population, according to bulletin
issued by the census bureau In 1890 the
excess of males was 242 The divisions of
continental United States with the
smallest proportion Of males are the
District of Columbia f47.4 per cent?,
Massachusetts (497 per cent? and
Rhode Island (491 per cent? those with
the largest are Wyoming 1929 per ceut)
and Montana (61.6 per cent?. A curious
divergence Of the sexes appears in the
returns for the city and country dis
tricts. In the cities having a population
Of 800 or more in 1890 there were {. 1929
more males than females, in 1900 this
females in cities of this size were 20l,-
959 in excess As against this change
the excess of ], Sis, $50 males in country
districts in 1890 became an excess OF
1,840, 280 in 1900. Among the negroes
there are few more females than
males, among the Indians few more
males than females About five-ninths
Of the immigrants are males.
The excess Of males in the total Dop-
ulation is offset to some extent by the
longer age of females In the period
from SO years of age to the end of life
the absolute number Of females is larger
than that Of males and also in the period
from Is to 25, although the census e1-
perts aserlbe the latter superiority TO
falslned returns rather than to an alb
solute majority. The death rate OF
males in the registration area in 1900
was 10 per thousand and that of females
was 1875. The difference in the death
rate is least between the ages of and
IA and the greatest at the extremes of
life. There is a period between the ages
of 5 and q when the death rate of fe-
males is in excess Of that of males In
spite OF the fact that four-ffths of the
childbirths occur between the ages Of
20 and 80, the death rate of women at
that time is smaller than that of men.
In 1900 the median age, the age which
exactly divides the total population, was
22.85 years, an increase OF nearly seven
years in the last century The prodnc-
tive age group in the United States, that
part of the population between 16 and
go, comprises nearly three-fifths of the
population, larger proportion than is
to be found IN most European countries.
Nearly one-fourth of the population Is
less than ten years of age.

trailing damaged the gravel. and. also,
he added, did the gown no good. She
demurred, pointing out that the damage
to the gown vas of little consequence
At once the policeman produced a for

equally formidable German, it was
stated that TO let a dress drag on the
pathway was an offense against the law.
