"Dead" Horse Came TO Life.

If a man wants to encourage calami
ties that sometimes result in miracles
all he has to do is to send a son tc
college and present him with an auto
mobile" declared the father of a
young man now in his second year at
one of the big universities.
That boy of mine was likely to
bankrupt me with his calls for money
to pay damages to and by his machine
until l wrote him that in future he
must cover all such expenses out OF
his allowance, which is about ten
times what my father gave me when
l went to college
For time there wasn't a single
demand from him, but the other week
he sent me a telegram like this: Wire
me $500 Immediately Have killed a
mans aorse.' OF course / said things
unfit TO repeat, and finally telegraphed
him: Demand exorbitant Will be
on tomorrow to compromise

JUST WHO ARE THE ENoL.sAa
London the Center Of a Mighty EN-.
pire-vast Population.

If this question: Who are the Eng
lish? were asked, either of the aver
age Englishman Or of the average
American visitor to England, the an.
swer would probably be both inaccur.
ate and confusing. The average Eng
lishman knows little of the origin of
his race, and is not of the mental
makeup that sets much store by such
matters In any case; and the Amer
lean pays little heed to anything ex-
cept to what comes directly under his
notice as he travels about to and from
London as his center.
London itself is city OF some four
million six hundred and odd thousand
inhabitants. 1t is a small naticn in
itself. The total population Of the
Kingdom Of Great Britain and Ireland
is cnly 43,660,000 Q906). But London
is not England. The United Kingdom
OF Great Britain and Ireland is not

square miles. No; what the world
knows as England is the British EN-
pire, which includes the above, and IL
addition some 11,400,00O square miles,
ana population OF about 100000, ,000
The known surface Of the globe is es
Iinated at about 55,o0O,O00 square
miles; its total population is believed
to be about 1,SO0.OOO,OOO. The British
empire therefore occupies more than
one-fifth of the earth's surface, and its
population is also more than one-fifth.

That is England! In Asia they have
