From the Youths Companion.
The new boarder had never been on a
farm before. She was filed with inter-
est and delight in everything she saw.
On the morning after her arrival she
saw Mrs. Howe apparently picking ber-
ries from some pretty green plants be-
yond the wall, as she strolled in the
road.
Those are charming little plants"
she said. pausing, with her eyes fixed
on a pail which hung on Mrs. Howe's
arm. What kind of berries grow on
them? Does 1t take long to fill a pail
like that?'
Mrs. Howe looked down into the pail
with meditative air, and answered the
second question.
Il should hope 'twould,'' she replied.
What kind of berries are they?" per-
sisted the young woman II can't quite
see. What are you picking?
."Tater bugs" said Mrs. Howe, as she
made another contribution to the depths
of the pail.

Finally it is highly improbable that such
disaster as the kings grave illness on
the eve of his coronation will occur
again. The coronation of 1902, it will be
remembered, was postponed from a. date
at the end of June to one in August
while King Edward lay recovering from
appendicitis and a dangerous operation.

Commencing Tuesday morning, May
8. the G. A. & G. railroad installed a
new passenger train between this city
and Columbus. The new train leaves
Mt. Vernon at $3.50 a. m. and arrives
in Columbus at 1850 a. m, making all
the stops. The returning train in the
evening leaves Columbus at 6 Q. m,
arriving here abort 1880 p. m.
The request for these two trains
was made by the board of trade of
Westerville and business men in many
of the towns between Columbus and
Mt. Vernon several weeks ago. The
trains had been promised and were to
have been put on when the spring
time card went into effect Sunday,
May 20, but the street railway strife
caused a fastening of the plans.

STOYLE
Brought Back Here Tuesday
Afternoon
To Answer To Charge Of
BOOtlGgging
Preferred Against Him A
Year Ago

James Stoyle, wanted in this city
on a charge of bootlegging, was
brought to Mt. Vernon from Colum-
bus on the G. A. G. c. train Tuesday
afternoon by Officer Hough, who went
after the prisoner on morning train.
Stoyle was arrested on May 5, 1909,
on charge of bootlegging, three af-
fidavits having been made out against
him. The day of his arrest after he
had given bond he skipped out and in
the winter was caught at Dunkirk, N.
Y, by government officials and taken
to Columbus where he was given a
fine in United States court for selling
liquor without license. Stoyle had
been in the Columbus workhouse, hay
ing been unable to pay his fine and
just as soon as his time was out,
which was on Tuesday he was turned
ever to the officials of this city.
Stoyle was taken directly TO the
office of Mayor Mitchell where he stat
cd that he was not guilty In two of
the cases and that he was guilty in
one. Mayor Mitchell decided to in
vestigate all three cases and order
ed Stoyle locked up in the county
Jail and will be arraigned in day OF
so. No bond was fixed and the pris.

CENTER on POPULATION

It Is not thought that the present
census will move the center of popu-
lation much farther west than 1t is at
present, in spite of the rapidity with
which the west is supposed to be grow
Ing In comparison with the older and
more settled east The center of pop
ulation Of the United States at the
time of the first census was 20 miles
east of Baltimore. 1t has never failed
to move west some distance. In 1900
II was located near Columbus, Ind,
about 40 miles south Oh Indianapolis.
In 1890 1t was 26 miles further east
and in the two previous decades 1t
kept rather near to Cincinnati. While
with each decade 1t has moved little
further west, 1t has continued to keep
very close to the 39th parallel, the lati-
tude approximately of Baltimore and
Cincinnati. With the development and
spread of population in the west the
wonder Is that the center of popula-
ton keeps SO disproportionately far
to the east of the center of the area.
1t now stops at about one-fourth of
the entire distance from coast to coast.
1t is suggested that the present cen.
sus will doubtless carry 1t little far
ther west, and perhaps little to the
south, because of the new population
in Oklahoma. Other western and
southwestern states have made large
additions to their populat.o IN, but they
have lost much by migration to Can
ada and latterly to Mexico.
The failure of the west to gain over
the east at a greater rate is obvious
ly due to the large number of i'm
migrants who stop off in the large ci
ties of the eastern and middle At
lantic states instead of going on to
the prairies where there is more de-
mand for labor with which to develop
the country. OF course, this is a mat
ter that is rot easily remedied. Pitts.
