POPULATION AND CLIMATE

IN former ages when men were more at the
mercy of the elements than they now are,
the great masses of population were located
in warm countries They swarmed in lands
where they needed little shelter and little
clothing, while the cold northern countries
were thinly populated.
In the present age, when men may make a
tropical climate for themselves within four
walls. when warm clothing is abundant and
easily obtained the centers of population are
found in what may be called the colder half
of the temperate zone.
Some figures recently issued by the Director
of the Census show in interesting way the
distribution of the people of the United States
with reference to temperature.
The mean annual temperature of the whole
United States excepting Alaska. is fifty-three
degrees Fahrenheit, and the figures show that
the part of the country where this is the actual
mean temperature is the center of the greatest
density of population. In other words the
greatest population centers between the lines
where the mean annual temperature is fifty
three and fifty-five degrees; and as one goes
north or south to colder warmer average,
the density rapidly diminishes. More than
half the population of the country lives under
a mean annual temperature between forty-hve
and fifty-6ve degrees.
At the same time the mass of population
has sought region of abundant but not ex-
cessive rainfall, figures put forth by the Census
Bureau showing that three-fourths of the peo-
pie of the United States inhabit the districts
where the annual rainfall is between thirty
and fifty inches.

Even the closest of friends who round out my

When the small folk shout if you come upon
them suddenly. clamor to have you play with
them, or climb into your lap and look at you
with their beautiful wise eyes, or rub their
soft pink cheeks against yours. it comes upon
you what they must mean to father and
mother. Perhaps should like to have children

there should be no exception to the law of the

Thales, the founder of natural philosophy,
gave that reason when Scion asked him why
he had taken no care to get him wife and
children But first he caused a report to
reach Solon's ears that his son was dead in
Athens, which caused Scion to give way to
transports of grief until Thales told him the
report was false. adding:
"These things. Scion. keep me from mar

fight than Bills kind ever willingly took on:
But, remembering he was brother to Ben
Thomson. the then most celebrated man killer
in Texas (who himself was to fall to King
Fishers pistol in Jack Harris San Antonio
variety theater few years later, broodlng
over fuckers abuse of him, figuring what Ben
would do in like circumstances, illumining his
view of the situation by frequent resorts to
red eye. Bill by evening had rowed himself
ready for action.
So it happened that at the very moment
Buck finished our introduction to Miss De
Puyster," Bill suddenly stepped within the
door of the saloon and took quick snapshot
at Tucker, who was directly across the bar
from us and in the act of passing FAINT glass
three of fuckers fingers and the tip of the
fourth, and, the bar being narrow. spattered
us with his blood.
Tucker fell momentarily from the shock.
Surprising from fuckers quick drop that
he had made an instant kill, Bill stuck his
pistol in his waistband and started leisurely
out of the door and down the street
But no sooner was he out of the house than
Jim sprang up. seized a sawed-off ten-gage
shotgun, ran to the door, leveled the gun
across the stump of his MANNED left hand. and
emptied into Bills back at about ten PAGES,
trife more No. 4 duck shot than his system
could assimilate.
Perhaps altogether ten minutes was wasted
on this incident, and the time taken to tournl-
quet and tie up Jim's wound and to pack Bill
inside and stow him in a corner behind the
faro lookout's chair, and then Jim's under
study called:

DIDN'T KNOW WHAT HE HAD

SOME years ago we'll known art expert
was summoned to act in the capacity of
private appraiser to young who de-
sired to sell at auction the contents of his
fathers picture gallery. The man appre-
ciated his own limitations sufficiently to realize
the need of such advice as the critic had to
offer. though the actual depth of his igno-
rance was not patent at the beginning of the
interview.
The two men were in the gallery and the
owner discoursed somewhat intelligently
a pair of enormous battle scenes for which his
father had paid a fabulous sum, and out of
original price. A few other highly pictorial
compositions came in for their share of APP
prevail. He would rather like to keep those
really good" things: but he felt that they
would command the highest price at the sale
The expert passed them with glance. He
felt sure that the owner would realize his desire
to keep them, unless he willing to sacrifice
them for 1.-THE of what his father had paid
for them score OF years before, when that
sort of painting was in vogue.
From the moment the connoisseur entered
the long room. he kept his eye on a small
canvas, disdainfully "skyed" above the op
posite door. Though the light was bad and
the position the worst possible, he took in
the matchless sweep of technic in that painted
head. As soon as the young man had ex
hausted his enthusiasm the snowy pic

modest canvas.

The owner was not convinced indeed

spot, and his doubt not dissipated until
the auction was and he learned that the
little Lenbach had brought something

for any picture in the collection. The war

is inclined to believe it is not worth while
fighting them.
In the formative days of the bachelor habit,
financial considerations are likely to play an
important part, and this is real to anyone who
has known actual poverty though as matter
of fact no one realizes the sufferings OF
poverty until he becomes prosperous. For my

never seemed worth the price it commands in
