TWELVE MILLION
Is THE ESTIMATED GAIN NPOPULATON
OF UNITED STATES.

Washington, Mafcn s5. An in
crease Of is 900, oooin the population
Of the United States during the past
ten years andFa decrease Of about
5, 00o, 900 in the number Unavailable
food animals is the estimate made by
the Bureau If Statistics from reports
on these two subjects made respec-
lively by the Census bureau and the
Department ofAgriculture. Another
lesson in the law Of supply and de-
mand deduced by the Bureau Of Sta
tistics is that the supply Of food ami
mails has gone down three per cent,
while the value has increased twenty
two per cent. In the meantime, the
price Of grains necessary for food for
these animals has increased from
fifty-six to seyenty-fve per cent. The
value of cattle, sheep and hogs in
this country in 1901 was estimated at
81 ga, ooo,o 900; in 1910 tss, s6S, :
100000. This is an increase Of
twenty-five per cent. Cattle are the
one class Of food animals which have
come anywhere near keeping pace
with the growth in population. Cattle
have increased in number eleven per
cent, while the population has !
creased sixteen per cent. There were
about s.s animals to each person in
the country in 1901, In 1910 there
are about 10,
A pound Of lard in 1901 was worth
IA cents; in 1910 it is worth is
cents, an increase of l4s per cent.
This may be accounted for in part at
least by the fact that there has been
a decrease of sixteen per cent in the
number Of hogs in the United States.

Keep Accounts.

Keeping accounts, simple in form
plain, clear and easily understood
showing amounts due to or from
others, entering correctly the dates
on which money is paid out or re-
ceived, is the best plan to avoid dis
putes about money matters and re-
iieyes the memory Of many unnec-
essary burdens. A written record
Of a money transaction has greater
legal value in case Of controversy
in court than any verbal statement.
The habit Of keeping accounts in
duces economy in expenditure and
inspires the habit Of saving up, be
sides showing at all times a correct
financial condition. Housekeepers,
mechanics and all who handle mon
ey in the management Of their per
sonal affairs will find it most profit
able to form the habit Of keeping
accounts.

ArtfuI Partisan Reaaars.

Partisan beggars have een
known to go far beyond a Slam
fight with a deg in the gutter for a
crust. Maxine du Camp has record
ed how, on an August Sunday in
1887, at an hour when the quays
were crowded, a shabby man uttered
a cry of despair and threw himself
into the Seine near the Pont de
Palma. He had sunk twice when
a man in workmen's clothes plunged
in, swan after him and effected an
apparently difficult rescue. AS the
crowd surrounded the two on the
bank the rescued one slowly came
to, reproached the rescuer for saw
ing hopeless, voorhees, man, who
had not eaten for three days, and
tried to rush off again, crying, "Let
me die" The rescuer pulled out
half a franc, saying: @Take this. ]
shall only have to go without dinner
today" And of course the crowd
literally followed suit. But the skep-
teal police Swallowed the two, saw
them count up the spoils in a tav-
ern and presently arrested the two
ex-convicts, dead drunk. - London

IlUGULAR VEIN
REMOVED YOBNGMAN ONLY SHALL
PIECELEET.

New York. With only a small
section Of his ingular vein left, follow
ing an operation three weeks ago,
Harold Erickson, 10 years old, q
Brooklyn. IS at the Long Island Col
lege Hospital.
The remainder Of the vein will be
removed in a few days.
Four weeks ago Erickson complain
ed of a pain inhis left ear. Hewent
to the hospital, and a few days later
DR.. Shepperd, assisted by Dn. Dono'
hue and Keeper, made an incision
near the middle ear, They found .
blood clot there and were compelled
to remove the lateral sinus.
Two days later another operation
was performed, as it had been ascer-
tanned that the clot extended to the
jugnlar vein. The vein was SO in
fected that nearly all oft was cut
away. Another operation will be
performed as soon as the patient re-
covers strength. Erickson is con-
scious and realizes how dangerous
the operations are.
Physicians from all over the coun-
try are keenly interested in the case
and await the outcome ofthe final
operation. If the patient survives,
II viii disproye an old theory that
without the jugular vein performing
its full functions, a person cannot
live.
When the6nal operation is complet-
ed, is is estimated that Erickson will
have beehunder the influence of ether
ga hours and actually under the knife
for six hours.

In military courage the Montene-

man or boy only a joyous game.

Turkish fire deliberately leave the
trenches and climb the breastworlS,
only to expose himself from sheer
brayado.
While lying at headquarters at
Oreabuk, awaiting the opening Of
the campaign in 1877, / was walking
one day with the prince when a boy
of sixteen or eighteen approached
US, cap in hand.
"Now," said the prince, s1'llshow
You an interesting thing. This boy
is the last Of a good family. His
father and brothers were all killed
in the last battle, and | ordered linn
to go home and stay with his mother
and sisters that the family might
not become extinct
The boy drew near and stopped
before us, his head down, his cap
in hand.
''What do You wantS" asked the
prince.
q want to go back to my bat
talon"
fBut" said the prince, Tyou are
the Inst Of your line, and | cannot
allow a good family to be lost. You
must go home and take care of your
MOTHER
The boy began to cry bitterly.
''Will you go home quietly and
stay thefe,1 said the prince, cor
viii you take a logging and be al
lowed to tight%
The boy thought for a moment.
A fogging, he knew well, is the
deepest disgrace that can befall a
Montenegro.
"Well,p he broke out, "since it
isn't for stealing, I'll be logged"
No. said the prince, you must
go home"
Then the boy broke down utter

'But,P he cried, q want to
avenge my father and brothersP
He went away still crying, and
the prince said, SIN spite Of all this
he will be in the next battle"

PARIS, Sept. 12.-The Eiffel
tower, highest man-made monu-
ment in the world, is a sort of
leaning tower of Pisa. 1t is per-
fectly perpendicular only from
about midnight until sunrise.
During the day it is a foot or
more out of plumb.
The lofty steel structure obeys
laws similar to those governing
the lowly sunflower, which leans
toward the sun all day long. Only
the tower leans AWAY from the
sun. French military engineers
made the discovery in connection
with the wireless telegraph sta
ton on the tower. 1t was no.
ticed that the wires leading from
the top to the ground would be
exceedingly tight at times, and
again the reverse.
Metal expands with heat. When
the sun shines on one side of the
tower, warming up the steel, the
beams get longer on that particu-
lar side. They do not on the
other.
Eiffel tower, therefore, reels
backward, and with a semi-circu-
lar effect, every day as the sun
makes it's trip from east.

Editor the Times: 1t was
amusing to read in the columns
of a morning paper Saturday of
the "big" meeting held In Pallies
hall, Thirty-eighth and Yakima,
Friday evening by some of the fol-
lowers of Jim Ashton. The meet
ing was dated to open at o'clock
sharp. l got there early, but the
hall was filled to the door, not
with voters, but smoke from corn
cob pipes and Pittsburg stogies.
The hall was as silent as the tomb.
At about $3.50 the silence was
broken by the rising of ex-Chief
Dooley, who made his spiel as
briefly as possible by introducing
ex-Judge Shackleford as the
speaker of the evening.
The judge arose slowly and
made his way to the platform a
little bit excited at the large
gathering of voters, which num-
bered 10, including the two speak
ers of the evening, and two-thirds
of these were for Mr.. Poindexter
The speaker started out to tell
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1910-09-12

us the things he was going to do
for this city of Tacoma and the
state of Washington. The appeals
that he made for Ashton would
have brought tears to a dead
mans eyes. Mr.. Shackleford's
closing remark was, do not for
get Slippery Jim.
The next speaker that was in
troduced was Mr.. Gallagher. His
remarks were very poor and lack
ed any vim. He danced around
like a clown in a dog and pony
show, telling us little stories that
he had memorized from reading
the short stories that he had read
from Peruna almanac. His
speech was poor; he could not
raise a clap of the hands or a
smile among band of Holy Roll
ers. 1t looks to me that if Slip
perry Jim's" chances of being
elected are no greater than the
crowds he can draw that he will
be notified by Mr.. Poindexter by
wireless that he never was in the
race. A. SMITH.

of the Wilson faction have been
negligible.
According to Poindexter, Will
sons withdrawal acted as a boom
erang and instead of injuring him,
redounded to his benefit. Poin-
dexter declared that the Seattle
editors action did not heal the
breach in the regular organiza-
ton and that he has profted
many votes by the withdrawal.
1t is conceded that Burke will
not receive the labor vote as he
has been a corporation attorney
and has been identified with their
interests since he became promin-
emit as a lawyer and politician
within the state.
Burke's managers pin their
faith on King county, the coast
counties and Southern Washing
ton!
They assert that the insurgent
wave is a myth and that Burke
will receive the Silent regular
vote which they declare will give
him the endorsement.
The betting is in favor of Poin-
dexter.

Miss Mildred attended a ball
