The Population.

New York Times.

view 1OTh luleS.
The population of the United States
has been augmented by 100000 i'm
migrants in the past decade. These,
together with five or six millions OF
natural increase-a large part OF these
additional millions being the native
children of immigrants-will make up
the total gain in population since
1900.
This country has In its brief exist
ence witnessed the greatest floods of
immigration of all time. The immi.
grants come to build our railroads,
our highways, our subways, to dis
bitches and drains, TO blast in mines
and qunrrles, to cut the forests, till
the farms and, the female portion OF
them, TO do the nations houseyork.
Most, of the disagreeable chores and
the hard, strenuous manual labor We
depend on them to do. This depend
ence cannot last.
What shall we do when the streams
OF immigration dwindle? Amor'""n

rations.. The immigrants are already
fewer In comparison with the gross
population of 90,0OO,O0O. Labor is
growing dearcr. What shall be done
when the professions become more
choked and the trades are deserted?

Banks Prepared for Harvest.


Omaha Bee.
The Western banks expect to be
able to handle the demands OF the
crop movement with the ordinary help
from the larger reserve centers, so
what apprehension has been felt on
this score may now be dismissed. A
canvass Of the West seems to reflect
this fact. There was much uneaslness
for While as to the ability of the
Western banks to rise to this situation
because Of the belief that they were
over-loaned, but 1t seems they were
not SO far oyerloaned as to give cause
for such alarm. Their loans have
been heavy: OF that there is no doubt,
but the banks have been able to take
care OF all home demands, and to-day
have better reserve than they had
60 days ago.
OF course, business has undergone a
general improvement in that time, and
this has had its Influence. For sew.
eral weeks Eastern financiers have
been insisting that the smaller West.
ern banks adopt a more conservative
policy with refernce to loans, and the
effect has not been In vain. The pol.
icy Is decidedly more conservative,
and this has tended to reduce the de.

caused by the stomach, but do not
know in what manner.

MINSTREL BOYS
At ST. MARY'S
Were Banquetted Last EVENING by
Young Mems Club and Even
ing Was Turned into One
of Entertainment
WERE FORCED TO TALK
All of Them Can Sing, But Toast
master Lotion Gave Them
Opportunity Of Discussing
Current Topics.

The minstrel boys of Keokuk. who
have given such splendid entertain.
ments under the auspices of various
organizations of the city during the
past two years, were banqueted last
evening at st. Mary's hall by st.
Mary's Young Mems Club. The event
was in appreciation of the minstrel
performance given under the auspices
of ST. Mary's last winter and was i'm
mensely enjoyed by the talented
artists.
After a prayer by Rev. George
Giglinger, D. D., and an opening
chorus, THE Glorious High Ball." the
guests seated themselves at the care
fully arranged tables and enjoyed a
splendid menu. Following it an in
formal program was rendered, with
Ed S. Lotion as POSTMASTER.
A short address was delivered by
Rev. George Giglinger and the re-
Spouse was on the part of Bert
Thompson.
Solos by John Welsh, John BRASIL,
John Nodler, Fred Dressed and Guer-
don Colvin were sung and piano
solos played by Frank Loewenstein,
Kenneth Milestone, Clyde Martin and
Walter Heller
The toastmaster then diverted from
the musical part of the program and
called upon members of the chorus
to tell about themselves, which they
did with considerable modesty. Dr.
Fred B. Smales gave quite an inter-
esting discourse on Halley's comet;
Ray Trump consumed some time in
clearly explaining the Ballenger-Pin-
chot controversy; Van B. Norris made
an effort to revive the Cook-Peary
discoveries; while Allen Lindsay dis
cussed the vatican incident. Others
who responded were Leo Gredell,
Carl Hemm ~, liner Carlson, d. H.
Hassett, Phil Glazer, John Engler,
Frank w. Loewenstein and Walter
Heller.

"reminiscences of {. r. Drake.


E. R. Drake was a man possessed
of unusually bright and clear mind,
and often spoke of the days before
the war, Of his business successes and
setbacks and of many nationally
prominent men he met and had for
his friends during his long life.
He was twenty-one years old when
he first went to Chicago. The city that
is now the metropolis of the west was
then only $4,000 persons in population.
There were no railroads running into
Chicago at that time, and it was, in
comparison to its present growth, a
mere village.
During his residence in Chicago, Mr.
Grake became acquainted with both
Abraham Lincoln and Stephen Doug
las, and had warm friends in both
these historical men. In speaking of
his change in politics, Mr.. Drake re-
Gently said to a Gate City reporter:

he would have passed the eightieth
milestone of long and useful exist

Dear Sir: A certain paint man

ment was s. painted; not satlsfac
tory; painted Devoe next time.
There's a certain paint, a big
concern, very proud and am
bilious, that hated to see so big a
job of another paint; so it went
tor that business.
That former paint was about
two thirds not paint, but this
proud and mbltlous paint was
only about one third not paint.
1t succeeded in getting trial:
% gallons, 5. kits of 5 gallons each
When the painter had used one
KIT, he called the manager; not
satisfactory; 4 of the kits return.
ed. A paint, one-third not paint,
IS not good enough to dIsplace De
voc.
This was several years ago.
That proud and ambitious paint
is better now; 1T is nearer honest;
it isn't short-measure at all and
only Is per cent. adulterated. It's
pretty good paint now; 10 or IA
gallons of it goes as far as 10 of
Devoe.
