STATES THAT RANK FIRST

Another interesting and at the same time
surprising respect in which California al
most holds the lead is in the number OF
French persons within the State. Uncle
Sam would hardly expect the largest num-
Der of Gauls to be 50 far away from their
home country: but the California wine IN
dustrv evidently cxcrts fascinating power
which the greatest OF all wincgrowerS can
hardly resist. and the result is that only
New York exceeds the Golden State IN the
total Of French inhabitants.
The Swcdcs and NorwegianS, OF course,
give Minnesota the lead on their nationality,
there being over one hundred and twenty
thousand of one and over one hundred thou
sand of the other in that State; but, sur
prisnglv enough, the largest number OF
Danes is to be found in Iowa The BclgianS
flock most largely to Illinois, as do also the
Bohemians and the German Poles. MaSsa-
chusctts has the palm for Portuguese, Penn
svlvania for Russian Poles, New York for
Russians pure and simple, and Ohio for
AustrianS. OF course, New York is at the
head in the matter of Irish, as it is also in
the matter Of Germans, and incidentally IN
the amount 81 ltllliulN' lADA Aiiii4D'o
beats New York in the amount OF distilled
liquors.
But, speaking Of races, there are, Of
course, some illuminating things about the
negroes in Uncle Sans countup. One thing
is that the largest number is in Georgia; but
that does not seem TO mean that Georgia
has the largest cotton crop: Texas beats it
on cotton by over sixty per cent It does
mean, though, that Georgia has by far the
largest number of Baptists and makes the
largest amount Of sugar, molasseS, and syrup.
Owing TO the negroes, the percentage Of illit-
eracy in the South is very high, being twenty
two and twenty-three per cent. OF the total
population, as against five and six per cent.
elsewhere; but even in the percentage Of
iliteratc whites the Southern rank is high.
North Carolina leads with nineteen per cent,
being surpassed only by New Mexico with
twcnty-nine per cent. The greatest number

Uncle SAM manages spring a surprise
~ on himself about the middle of every
year when he finishes his annual countup.
He ALWAYS knows in advance, OF course,
that New York State is going to rank first
in population: but it gives him a jolt to
discover. as he did this year. that the little
State of Nevada stands head and shoulders
not only above New York, but also above
the scholarly Massachusetts, in the amount
of money it spends per capita for the educa-
ton of its school children. Also it makes
him scratch his head to see that, notwlth-
standing all that is said against sweatShops
and child labor and that sort OF thing IN the
big cities. Alabama, which has hardly any
big cities at ALL has more girls engaged IN
"gainful occupations than any other State
in the Union.
Pennsylvania, where boys are extensively
employed in the coal mines, distances all
other States in the number of boys engaged
in "gainful occupations; but so does Penn
svlyania distance all other States in the
number of members Of Protestant churches,
which fact may be an offset, in a moral way
TO what Is considered by many to be an evil
in an economic way. Pennsylvania, Of
course. ranks next 10 New York in pOpula-
llOil, ana, interestingly tllOuSll' Has 'NNl'
second i'm rank ever since the first census
was taken in 1890. But it is another one Of
Uncle Sans surprises this year to find the
keystone State dstanced by California in
the output OF petroleum, and by North
Dakota in the estimated amount OF coal re-
sources.
PENNSYLVANIA. however, gets even on Cali
fornia by being first in the output OF cherries.
And that is saving a great deal; for, when
it comes to fruit, California not only leads
the nation in the matter Of oranges and lem.
ons. but is at the head in the output of
peaches, plumS, pears, and sugar beets.
New York distances it on apples and on po-
tatoes: but not even Colorado or Alaska
can wrest the supremacy from it in the mat
ter Of gold output. Alaska did stand quite
far up and securely on the top in the gold
business for awhile; but it has fallen back
into third place now, while Colorado, which

said, effusively.
Taking the tray from her, he placed
it on the table, and folding her in his
arms, he pressed his lips to hers.
"Good-by," he murmured; Il won't
be long"
AS soon as he disappeared she gave
way completely, and sinking into a
chair, leaned her head on the table
and sobbed as if her heart would
break. This, then, was the end! He
would go away and soon forget her.
She would never see him again! But
what was the use of crying? 1t was

blame him. He loved her-she was

and carrying it into the kitchen, began

on clean apron, she opened the door.
Judge Brewster stood smiling on the
threshold. Annie uttered a cry of
pleasure Greeting the old lawyer af-
fectionately, she invited him in. AS he
entered. he looked questioningly at her
red eyes. but made no remark.
I'm delighted to see you, judge"
she stammered.
AS he took seat in the little parlor,

window without making reply.

voice. Il shall let the world know
that you sacrificed yourself for that

She turned and shook her head

Judge Brewster was not a patient
man, and if there was anything that
angered him it was rank injustice. He
had no patience with this young wom-
an who allowed herself to be tram
pied on in this outrageous way. Yet
he could not be angry with her. She
had qualities which compelled his adj
miration and respect, and not the least
of these was her willingness to shield
others at her own expense.

WILLS $500 TO PARROT

Will leaving $4,000 for the support
and maintenance of a pet parrot has
been drawn and witnessed by Thomas
Billingsby, capitalist Of Oklahoma
City. The parrot is 20 years old.
Billingsby was a sailor many years
ago and came into possession of the
parrot in Polynesia. When he left
the sea he carried the bird with him
inland, and succeeded In reforming
the bird, which at one time was an
expert on profanity. Three men are
named in the will as trustees of the

parrot, and during the birds lifetime
the money cannot be devoted to any
other purpose.
