Among the citizens of Betzville Pill
gath Gubbs stands out pre-eminently
for thoughtfulness, and it is largely
because he once had grandfather.
That grandfather of his is why Pill
gath is so far-seeing . In every action
of Pilgath's life he remembered his
grandfather, and many of us would
be better off If we did the same.
The reason Pilgath dug his well
right alongside of his barn was be-
cause he remembered that once his
grandfather had fallen off the barn
and had broken his arm, and Pilgath
figured that If he should happen to
fall off his barn he might break his
arm, too, but that If he had good,
deep well alongside his barn and fell
off the barn into the well instead of
onto the hard ground, the water would
break the fall. 1t was 30 feet from the
top of the barn to the ground, and
the well Pilgath dug was 40 feet deep,
and so, one day, when Pilgath did fall
off the barn into the we'll, he went
down 80 feet into the water, and was

hours and three quarts of whisky to
bring him to. He saw Immediately
that if he fell off the barn into the wa.
ter a few more times he would be
totally drowned to death, so he fixed
that by pumping all the water out of
the we'll and plugging up the spring in
the bottom. After that there was no

next time he fell off the barn he fell
clear to the bottom of the well, 70
feet, and broke two arms and col
lar bone. Pilgath was a very thought
full. foresighted man.
When Pilgath got married and start
ed to build house he remembered
chat his grandfather had once built
house was on and had moved his
house onto another lot, and that mov-
ing the house was a lot of work. SO
Pilgath, being thoughtful. foresight
ed man, decided he would have no
trouble of that kind, and that he
would build his house so that if he
ever wanted to move it he could move

with a tank of gasoline in the attic
over the girls room. He saved quite
a sum on the wheels by using eight
old millstOnes that he had inherited
from his grandmother on his fathers
side, and he got a fine old storage
battery at less than cost from Aunt
Rhinocolura Belts, who had used it
for her rheumatism. There wasn't
any electricity in the battery. but
Pilgath figured he could get it filed

one side of the porch, and was soon
covered with Virginia creepers. so the
house looked like an everyday house.
No one would have thought it was an

THE NEXT CENSUS.

What will be the total population Of
the United States next YEAR, There
are all kinds of guesses as to the fg-
ures. Commenting on some of these
estimates-The Chicago Record Herald
says:
In anticipation of the census which is
to be taken next year we have esti-
mates of population in 1910 which
range from 100000 to 100. 1000, 900.
This is interesting at least as a hint
as to what statisticians may do with
figures. They may take the rate of
increase for the last decade and then
vary it by a factor that pleases them.
There is the birth rate, for example,
which is complicated by the division
that is made between native and fore
ign parents, the tendency toward small
families in the other; there is the ques-
ton of additions by immigration; there
is the shifting of the population. an ex-
traordinary growth at certain places
which may mean drain upon others
and make IL entirely futile to attempt
to strike an average.
We have noticed one contribution to
the subject which says that the esti-
mated increase OF the population in
sixty of the principal cities, as shown
by statistics of the census Office, is
3,432, 407, and combines with this sup
posed increase 1902, 03O, the number
OF immigrants admitted into the coun-
| try between 1901 and 1908. The two
sets of figures, we are told, when added
to 76,303,3S7, the census figures OF 1900,
bring the total estimated population OF
last year up to S6,737,S24, and lead to
the conclusion that the census of 1910
will reach almost 5000, 900.
But what we actually derive from the
method Of estimating that is employed
is fine lot OF doubts. In the first place
there is nothing certain about the CEN
sus figures on the sixty cities. In the
second place, immigration must have
contributed to the increase in the cities,
and 1t cannot be counted twice. In the
third place, the number of immigrants
admitted is VIGOROUSLY not the same
thing as a net gain by immigration,
for there has been a remarkably large
emigration of foreigners back to the
lands from which they came. In the
fourth place, the conclusion is simply
a big jump for which no reason what
ever is given.
Note, too, that the variation OF 10,
100000 is equal to five-sevenths OF the
lowest estimated increase and to FIVE
twelfths OF the highest estimated in
crease. and that it amounts to more
than one eighth of the population In
1900. This of itself shows what a de.
| lightfu1ly wide field there is FOR specu.

is CUPID TO BLAMEf


A New York paper has recently ex-
erted great effort In collecting letters
designed to show why there are not
more marriages--and the result is
amusing. If not convincing. The let
tiers are from men and women OF all
ages, married and single. happy and
unhappy.
The dollar mark stands out all over
most Of the letters in way which
is designed to chill the most ardent
wooer. Men say women look too ex-
pensive-and women say the men look
too cheap. Women charge men with
seltlshness-and men charge women
with extravaganza and vanity.
Occasionally contributor has based
his letter on something other than
financial consideration. One man says
he has failed to marry-because all the
women he knows seem to like dancing
better than anything else.
Then there is one woman, q Latin
teacher, who just can't love any mere
men-because they arc so lacking in
intellectually. Most every family has
an old maid OF that description some
where along the ltne-and sttn mascu-
Unity insists on liking baseball and
comic opera better than Browning and
Wagner.
One wife complains that she is tired
OF being a side show while horses
and golf monopolize the big perform
ance." That sounds clever enough to
have come from woodrow Wilson, and
If the writer would only devote some
of her brilliancy to entertaining her
husband-she would probably win him
away from the company of tockies and
caddies.
An occasional letter radlates sun
shine and blesses the little god OF love.
All of which shows that the normal
persons with good digestions and good
dispositions are so busy being happy
whether married or single-that they
have little time to consider matrimony
as an abstract proposition. To such
persons love and matrimony are part
of we'll ordered life. They are sub
jects for sensible individual considera-
ton when encountered along life's
pleasant highway-and are not to be
dissected and discussed like scientific
problems.

Thomas Hannah, the expert gard
ner at the agricultural college, is
justly proud of the success he has
had this year in the raising Of musk
melons at the college grounds. The
crop has proven very bountiful one
and the melons are OF an especially
delicious flavor. Mr.. Hannah has had
the best success with the Wills I'm
proved and the nutmeg varieties and
the samples left at The Forum office
attest TO the experiences of Toms
gardening and the fact that North
Dakota can grow as good melons as
can be found anywhere.
