& LUCHS
SELL TEN HOUSES
IN A SINGLE WEEK
Colonial Style Row on Up
per Fourteenth Street
Quickly Disposed Of.

Another house selling record was set
this week by Shannon & Luchs in the
sale of the entire row Of eight-room
Colonial houses on the east side Of
Fourteenth street, between Perry
street and Spring road northwest
The row consists of ten houses, and
all were sold in the first five days OF
this week for a total of over S65,@O1 They
we're purchased by home buyers, and
one of the houses, that at the corner Of
Perry street, has already been occu-
pied. The houses contain four rooms
on each floor. A feature of the first
floor colonial porches is the use of wide
flower boxes between the columns in
stead of the conventional ballustrade.
In one case, however, the purchaser
has had the ballustrade put in place
of the box These houses are part Of
a large building operation extending
over two squares and which is now
about completed.
The completion of this operation
brings the solid building of the city to
the north practically to the edge OF the
Municipal Hospital grounds. These
houses fill in the last remaining gap Of
unimproved property of any size.
The other large house building opera
ton which was recently put on the mar
ket by Shannon & Luchs on Rhode
Island avenue, one square east of North
Capitol street, continues to attract buy
ers. Up to today sixty-three of those
houses have been sold. All that have
been built, one row of twenty-one and
another of fifteen, have been sold out
and the others wereasold to buyers who
are willing to wait until their houses
are built A third row of twenty one
houses was started this week, but even
this will not meet the demand. The
houses are being sold faster than the
builders can put them up.

POPULATION MOVES WEST.

The center of population of the Unit
ed States was announced by Director
of the Census Durand on Thursday
to be in the western part Of the city
of Bloomington, Monroe county, Ind.
This is miles further west than the To-
cation announced July II when Direc-
tor Durand placed 1t four and one
quarter miles south of KNOXVILLE, in
the same county,
The change in the location of the
center of population since July IL il
due to the discovery of an error made
in the census offices. The movement
of the center of population thirty
nine miles westward is due to the In
crease of population on the Pacific
coast.
The total western movement of the
center of population since 1870 is 55s
miles.

THE PRAYER.
sHe leadeth me, o blessed thought,
Beside the water still
And with the words she bowed her
head,
Obedient to his will.
What though the world IN strife
should knock
Against the lowly door;
His rod, His staff, doth comfort her,
And grief can come no more.
Through pastures green" that stretch
away
Through all eternity,
What matter all the weary strife
To spirits thus set free?
o mother, with the folded hands
Upon her tired breast,
The valley and the shadow passed,
In perfect peace find rest.
