OR GROWING CITIES

some Interesting estimates of urban growth

growing faster than Others and estimates of

But for that reason they need not be dismissed

According o. these estimates the rank list of
American cities Will have TO be materially re-
vised by 1910. New-York Will still stand AT the
head, with gain Of 100000 in population. In

the year 1906 OF $4,000 The trustees also objected
to an assessment for the year 1903 of 100000 and
the Board of Taxes sought to have the writ in this
superseded.
Justice Bowling says that under Section $50 OF

OPTLNLSM AND PESSLNLSN.

Through the kind attention of the postal au-
thorities there has come TO this office a letter
from Mr.. D. E. Worthley. of Lowell. Mass.
With 1t Mr. Worthley sent a few pages of
printed matter. the reading of which suggests
that he has his on and his off days. APP
parently the primary purpose Of the publica-
ton was to set forth the fact that Mr. Worthley
has always been a much abused man. He tells
us, for instance, that in 1856 he reported to the
police the robbery Of all the money he had.
Since then he has been robbed of many add-
tional thousands, and, though the police were
informed, nothing was ever recovered. After
narrating these troubles Mr. Worthley breaks
into song:
It is sad! Oh so sad.
That the people are SO bad.
There are other verses along the same line,
indicating that they were written while the
author was drinking deep of the waters of hope
less pessimism. But he must have come across
an antidote of some kind, because the last gem in
the collection is headed Optimism" and it con-
tains this beautiful thought
Try to be ever and always kind.
Then true happiness We'll ever find
And so on, concluding with these lines:
a good deed when freely given
VIII surely lead on toward heaven.
After that came from the printers Mr.. Worth
ley must have had reaction. for he scrubbed
on the last page this discouraging sentiment:
We are false false as Hell;
'Tts attribute Of Mankind;
An Honest man none can tell.
A truthful one do not find
Doubtless the publication OF these lines will
prompt some patent medicine exhorters to send
Mr.. Worthley a large bunch OF circulars in
which he may find a sure cure for his ailment.
