many splendid scores were made in
spite of the fact.
The work of the North Dakota team
is little short of phenomenal, when
one considers that this is only the
fourth year that the state has sent
a team to compete in the big matches.
Each year it has crept up a few
places, and this year it has landed
among the prize-winners. Then the
state has only one regiment of militia
to pick its team from, while many
other teams are chosen from several
different regiments Of guardsmen.
The team got away with flying
start on the first day and was in the
twenty.eighth place at the close Of
the second stage of the shooting. It
held on to it's lead and finished up in
the money.
Much Interest This Year.
More interest is being taken in the
rifle practice each year. At first
there were only q few militia boys
interested in the shooting, and even
they were looked upon in their home
towns as being too ardent enthusiasts
over the sport. But when one consid.
ers that the war department pays the

By Associated Press.
Galesburg, ILL.,, Aug. "a new

a special race at the Great Western

Third Quarter in 20 Seconds.
The fastest quarter, the third, was
covered in 20 seconds. The previous
record of 2:OOk was held jointly by
Minor Heir and Star Pointer. Hersey
drove Dan Patch when that animal
paced a mile against time in 1855,
but he declared that today's drive was
the greatest that he had ever made,
everything considered. He asserted
that the wind made the track two
seconds slow and that the tempera-
ture was too low for the best work.

other smaller cities will average we'll
up to so per cent.
Falling OF in Country.
Now as about 40 per cent of our
population is city-dwelling, this means
that the urban population will show
an increase of at least As per cent,
which in itself would cover not only
the estimated increase of 100000,
including immigrants, but leave a
great many thousands to bed rawn
from some other source. That source
is the country, as distinguished from
the city. The returns from the rural
districts so far are meager, outside
Oklahoma and Texas, but they show,
save in those two states where certain
local conditions account for an in
crease, a positive falling of from 1900.
In Writ county, West Virginia, the
last rural deturn made a decrease Of
II per cent. Other country districts
have so far shown but little better.
The only conclusions to be drawn from
these figures are:
First-That our home increase Of
population is rapidly falling.
Second-That the cities are not only
absorbing the immigration population,
but are drawing heavily from the ri.
raj districts.
Third-That at the present rapid
decline in internal increase, it will
be but another decade before, except
with the aid Of immigration, We will
show a positive decline in popula.
ton.
OF course, it is barely possible that
the estimate of 90,000,O 900 may prove
incorrect and that our population may
show up 1oo,0Oo,ooo. But the calcula.
tions have been scientifically made
and returns so far have borne out the
experts.

A NICERIAN LEGEND.

Il Tells Of the Origin Of Mans Sub

There is a quaint old Nigerian legend
that relates the origin Of mans sub
lection to women.
At the beginning Of things. the le'
gend runs, the world was peopled by
women only. One day the earth god.
Awbassi Maj. happened by accident to
kill woman. On hearing this the rest
gathered together and prayed that. II
he meant to STAY them, he would bring
destruction on all together rather than
kill them one by one.
Awbassi was sorry for the grief he
had caused and offered as compensa'
ton to give them anything they should
choose out Of all his possessions. They
begged him to mention what be had to
give and said that they would all cry
Eyes" when be named the thing they
wished to have.
Awbassi mentioned one by one all
his fruits. fowls and beasts. but at
each they shouted mo-" At length
the list was nearly ended-only one
thing remained to offer.
"Will you, then, take man.? asked
Awbassi at last. "Yesv' they roared
in a great shout, and, catching hold Of
one another, danced for Joy at the
thought Of the gift Awbassi was send
ing.

shoot, one realizes the sterner pur-
pose Of the matches. To increase tho
skill Of young America with the ride
is the intention Of the department,
and these matches each year are for
the purpose of stimulating practice
and getting the young fellows out to
try for the team. It is an honor for
any boy to make one of the state rife
teams, and it is an honor to any state
that has twelve young men in it that
can go down to one Of the largest

homes with q medal awarded by co.,
gress for their proficiency and skill.
Effective Fire Desired.
In case a war should break out tho
government would have to depend up
on the ability of it's recruits to hit
the enemy and to place their shots
effectively. Effective fire is tho
whole thing in combat. These rife
matches, while seemingly pleasure
trips, have as their ultimate purpose
the enthusing Of the young men of the
nation in the art of handling their
rifles, so that more effective fire could
be had on the battlefield in case OF

The Sense Of :Humor.

A man has a sense OF humor or he
has not. If be has not he cannot &C.
quire it; If he has it by birthright he
cannot lose it with the passing OF
years. The only change as life goes
on in one who has this Unborn sense is
that different things appeal to it from
those that excited amusement In
youth. but in this it is like other
mental faculties. As judgment mel
lows and ripens. so the power Of dis
covering those things that excite
smiles becomes more discriminating.
Humor is not a physical attribute to
fade a. the body loses its youthful
elasticity, but purely mental. Men
who possess it in goodly measure have
been known to smile on their death
beds over the very comedy Of llfe.-

CENSUS SHOWS
RACE SUICIDE

Washington, Aug. 25.-Startling
conclusions spring from an examina
ton of the returns of the census OF
1910, as far as the returns have come
in, when compared with statistics OF
natural growth in former decades. The
coming race suicide casts its shadow
before; for the natural increase of the
native-born American is falling off to
an alarming extent and another dec
ade at this rate would put us in the
class with France, whose decreasing
population has been the burning ques
ton with the government there. In
spite of all our natural resources and
all the national and state aid to en-
courage an increase keeping step
with former years, the signs point to
a dropping away Of so per cent in in
ternal increase Of population from the
records Of former decades.
The< increase Of our whole popula.
lions, including immigrants, 1920 to
1900, was an average of % per cent
for each decade, varying from IS per
cent in 1850-1S6O to % per cent in
1S90-190O. The average increase, ex.
elusive of immigrants during that pc.
Rod, was about 81 per cent. In the
decade of 189O-19OO this increase was
a trif1e over 20 per cent, there being
about 58,O00,00O inhabitants other
than immigrants in the former and
about 100000 in the latter census.
There was thus an internal increase
Of about 100000 people.
Immigrants a Large Item.
Now the best experts, including
those in the census Office, place the
total that will be shown by the cen.
sus of 1910 at 90,OO0,OOO. But from
this must be deducted the extraordin-
airy influx of immigrants in the past
ten years which, according to the re-
turns of the bureau of immigration up
to the last month, show that within a
few thousand Of 100000 have come
in since 1900.
As the total gross population of
1900 was 76,o00,0O0, this means that
the estimates place the increase at
100000. Deducting from this the
100000 immigrants, there remains
only 100000 natural increase of Am.
orleans from 1900 to 1910, as against
100000 between years 1890 and
1900, which is about per cent nat.
.ural increase Is against that Of the
former decade of 1s90-19OO, which is
81 per cent.
In addition to this is to be consid'
cred the marvellous growth Of the
cities so far reported. Not to men
