CENTER OF POPULATION.

Going West, but Always lowering
Near T~hirty-third Parallel.
The center Of population in 1900
was in the State of Indianan. In 1890
the center was twenty-three miles
east Of Baltimore in the State of
Maryland, or virtually on the Allan
tic shore line. Its migration has been
slow and remarkably uniform both in
rate and in direction. 1t has lowered
for 10 years along the thirty-ninth
parallel Of latitude, and it's total vi
ration in latitude has been less than
one-third of a degree.
The westward movement has ave
aged less than a degree in the decade,
Notwithstanding the incredibly swift
occupation OF a vacant continent by a
movement of population westward.
The easterly position of the center Of
population is in part due to the fact
that the eastern part Of the continent
was first settled and was settled from
the East. The easterly position Of the
center of population is also due to
the more evenly distributed and more
abundant u of the eastern
half of the United States.
1t should not be forgotten that the
geographical center of the United
States lies some hundreds of miles
west Of the Mississippi river. Tho
eastern half of the country, there
fore. embraces the Atlantic %lowlands.
the prairies and Great Lake plains,
the gulf lowlands and the forests and
minerals of the Appalachian noun
tains and Appalachian ~plateaux. Over
against these are the arid and noun
famous areas of the West.
Certain areas will be reclaimed to
incredible productiveness, and the
mineral wealth is vast, but the center
of population may be expected to re-
main permanently to the eastward
of the geographical center of the
land.

sAeY's WATERY ECZEMA
$50 Spent on Useless Treatments
Disease Seemed l%ncurable.
Cured by cuticura for $3.50.

when my little boy was two and .
half months old he broke u on both
cheeks with eczema. 1t was the itchy,
watery kind and we had to keep his
little hands wrapped up all the time,
and if he would happen to get them
uncovered he would claw his face till
the blood streamed down on his cloth

but he gave an ointment which was SO

when it was put on. We changed
doctors and medicine until we had
spent fifty dollars or more and baby
was getting worse. l was so worn out
watching and caring for him night and
day that I almost felt sure the disease
was incurable. But finally reading of
the good results Of the Cuticura Rem
edies, I determined to try them. I
can truthfully say I was more than
surprised, for 1 bought only a dollar
and a half's worth Of the Cuticura

RUSSIAN NoeLEMAN's WooiNG.

Posed ~ = Lady's Maid to Make Ac-
ii quaintance OF a Baroness.
: A st. Petersburg paper publishes
details Of a Russian romance in which
figures the wealthy and beautiful
young Baroness Urusof, the widow OF
q distinguished Russian government
oficial.
All the young cavaliers Of Moscow
were hopelessly in love with her. The
baroness. however, rejected all at
tempts to obtain an introduction to
her and lived in perfect ~seclusion, at
tended only by an elderly relative.
Some months ago q young peasant girl
began to visit the residence of the
baroness. offering the servants cheap
articles for sale. Subsequently the
baroness used to buy different articles
from the peasant. who was intelligent,
had good manners and considerable
conversational talents.
The baroness eventually asked the
girl whether she would enter her
service as q lady.s maid. She agreed
and discharged her duties to perfec.
ton for a fortnight and then revealed
herself as a young Russian noble
man named Maximoff, who, taking ad'
vantage Of his fair hair and complex
ion. had ~masqueraded as a domestic
servant to break down the barriers
with which the beautiful baroness had
surrounded herself.
The baroness was SO much impress
ed BY his extraordinary perseverance
that she became engaged to him, and
the marriage took place a few days
ago.

III.
Peril in a Great House,


The night nursery was now flooded
with light. 1t shone upon the bright
walls, paneled in white with hin
headings of china blue, upon the flow
err pattern of the carpet, the dress
ing tables, the nurses bed, the cot
the empty cot.
There was no doubt about it all
the little duke was not there.
The duchess stared at Michael
Grant, her face suddenly grown white;
and he looked back at her in equal
amazement.
81 thought you said Fitz was
asleep" he stammered, hardly know
ing what he said.
Suddenly the duchess wheeled
round with a quick, imperious move
ment. Her face flushed up until it
was scarlet with anger.
Alexander or Hobson has dared,'
she said, clenching her hands and
stamping upo nthe carpet with her
little black satin shoe, tn ediamond
buckle flashing like white flame as
she did so-"Alexander or Hobson has
actually dared to take him out of the
rocm.'
Surely Alexander wouldn't do such
a thing" Grant said-he knew the re-
spectacle, m~iddle-aged head nurse
very we'll. "She wouldn't dare
Then it must be Hobson," the
duchess answered. quickly. Ring
ring the bell, Michael"
Michael ran to the wall and pressed
an electric button. Both waited in
silence, an ominous light of anger
growing brighter and brighter in the
mothers eyes.
The door between the night and
day nurseries was open, and suddenly
they heard some one enter the farther
room. The duchess swept into it, and
Michael followed her. One of the un.
der footmen stood there, the man
whose especial duty it was to attend
to the nursery bell.
where Is Alexander? Where is
Hobson?" said the duchess, in a hard,
angry voice. "His grace is not in his
cot"
The man looked stupidity at her for
. moment.
Il don't know, your grace" he be-
gan. in a h~esitating voice. 1--WE not
been rung for at all. Mrs. Alexan-
der Is generally taking supper in the
housekeeper's room 1T this time. Hob
sol is usually here, your grace"
The duchess did not answer the
man, but turned to Grant. Come
with me-" she said, and fastened
from the room, her silk skirts swish
ing as she went, her steps full of an
CRY fo%rcefulness.
Michael followed a little uneasily.
He rather wished he had not come to
see the boy now. This sudden and
harsh ending to the momentous
events of the evening seemed all
wrong and out Of the picture; he
hated rows and trouble, and he knew
that there was going to be very big
trouble indeed for some of the I'M
lucky upper servants of the mansion.
He followed the duchess into the
gallery once more. She crossed it
%hurriedly, and he saw the great
cleaning hall below. with a man or
two standing about in it. In another
moment they entered a farther door
and hurried down q long, carpeted
corridor, where pictures hung upon
the great white walls, until, at the
far end, the duchess pushed aside a

Guthrie, okla, Sept. 8. - Attorney
General West has gone to New York
to take dispositions in a number of
suits pending in Oklahoma courts
against corporations. Among them is
the case he filed against the Prairie
Oil and Gas Company in the Logan
county district court, seeking to force
it out Of the producing business in the
Oklahoma mid-continent field SO long
as it remained in the carrying busi-
ness and to stop alleged discrimina-
tion between producers in the purchase
of Oil
This suit was filed in July, 1908, fol-
lowing disposition of the case he
brought to prevent the Prairie com
pany from using the states highways
in the construction of pipe line until
the company had domesticated. Trial
of the case was stopped by supreme
court writ of prohibition, in which
Gov. Haskell was the applicant, the
chief point being that under the con-
stitution and laws the attorney gener-
al could not proceed in the district
court In the states name without ap-
proval of the governor The suit in
which the attorney general is gather
ing dispositions also charges the prai-
rie company with being in a combina-
tion to control the price of oil in Ok
lahoma
Settlement may be effected in the
case against the Waters-Pierce Oil
company pending in the district court
of Garfield, charging it with violations
of the antitrust laws, and filed by Mr..
West prior to statehood, and while he
was acting as a special attorney for
the Territory of Oklahoma. This
case was made the subject of several
conferences here between w. A. Led
