Frankfort-A new census bulletin
devoted 10 an analysis OF Kentucky
population figures has just been is
sued. 1t contains the following;
In 1910 Kentucky's urban popula-
ton was 24.3 per cent OF the total. or
555,442 These persons dwelt in all
incorporated cities and towns Of over
$500 Inhabitants. In 1910 Kentucky's
rural population was 1851 per cent or
I1,7S4,46S persons. who dwelt without
the incorporated cities and towns.
In 1900 the urban population per-
centage was 21.S. or 467,66s persons.
and the rural population was 1872. or
1.679.506 persons. There has thus
been a slight decrease In the proper
ton Of urban population.
There are "a counties that show q
larger proportion Of urban population
in 1910 than 1900. and fvs soUrGsS
ahe. a smallc. Ian proportion. OF
the remainder, 81 Kentucky counties
are shown to have been wholly rural
at tho taking OF both the 1900 and
1910 census.
A comparison OF the total popula-
ton in 1910 OF the cities and towns
baving a population OF not less than
$500 each with the total population
Of the same places in 1910, shows an
increase Of 14.9 per cent During the
same period the rural population In
creased AZ per cent The population
OF urban areas thus increased more
than three times as rapidly as rural
in Kentucky. while In the United
States as a whole. urban population
increased 34.s per cent and rural f1.2

tive is greater than any hOmilies.
Jesus took the hand Of her that was
dead and commanded her back to
life. He proved Himself Master of
death as of life. That truth was too
Overwhelming to be grasped even by
His intimates nutii after the resur-
rection had made it clear. Even
those who witnessed the miracle
scarcely realized that He was giving
the supreme test of His messiaship.
The scene in the death chamber
Is eloquent with the message that the
entire attitude Of the friends of
Christ toward death has been chang
ed by Him. He has banished wall
ing and hopeless grief, even as He
drove out the hired nlourners from
Jairus' house. Today the Christians
grave suggests the eternal hope. Mrs
Browning's poem on a sleeping child
compares it to her own sleep in
death:
"Dinering in this that / sleeping
shall be colder.
And in waking, presently, brighter
to behold.
Say not good night. but in some
brighter cline
Bid me good morning."

More Erenzied Finanee.-A young

More Frenzied Finanee.-A young
man, whose assurance is chronicled in
the Boston Traveller, called on the pas
tor Of an Everett Catholic church. He
wished to get married, but told the
priest he didn't have the price. After
learning the young man was working
steadily, the father advised him to take
to himself a wife, telling him that II
he kept his nose to the grindstone ne
would get along without trouble. FL
nally the fellow agreed with the priest
and arranged to be welded on day
three weeks later.
The night before the ceremony he
once more visited the priest. After
some preliminary conversation he fl
nally blurted out:
Father, Tiff 1t isn't asking toe
much, could you lend me $40 so that
can make bluff at paying you a gooo
fee? 1 don't want to look cheap before
the girl. I'll give 1t back to you after
you marry US"
The priest consented and the next
day he married his friend. After the
ceremony he shook hands with the
bride and groom and expectantly wait
ed to have the man hand him back his
$40. But It was not forthcoming. With
bow and a smile the newly wed took
the arm of his bride and walked out
leaving the priest too astounded to do
any more than gasp.
The fathers faith in human nature
has scarce yet recovered from the shock
nor has he since seen his debtor.

Playing With Fire.-Everybody who
is at all conversant with conditions
knows that unrest is general in Eu-
rope. The long peace may be broken
at any time. Yet despite this the
powers continue to permit the Turco-
Italian war to drag along, pregnant as
it is with dangerous possibilities. Ger
tainly 1t would be a comparatively
easy task for the chancellories Of Eu-
rope to force peace. Already Italy,
finding the financial burden Of the
war great, is planning to lombard the
forts at the Dardanelles. There is a
menace in this to every power on the
continent. Yet the nations persist In
permitting the fire to continue. as II
the next wind may not cause a general
conflagration. 1t Is madness, that Is
all. There is so much talk about the
peace movement as an abstract thing
and so little done in practice.-News

Not Like Father.-An old Irishman
who had madr a good deal Of money,
but who wasn't very particular about
his habits or conduct, lived in Chica-
go. His custom was to go downtown
about once a month on a spree, and
then come back home and beat up his
family and break the furniture. His
aged wife, who had stood him for
many years, was blind.
Finally he died, and his children
gave him a fine funeral. They had
plenty of money now that the old man
was dead, and so they spread them
selves The blind widow was dissolv-
ed in woe. She cried and cried all
through the services, paying scant
heed to what was going on until the
eulogy was pronounced. She listened
The priest referred to the dead man in
glowing terms. After about ten min
utes Of this the aged widow nudged
her son and whispered: Danny, dc
they be havin' two funerals here to-
day."

A "Sort of cousin."-The lawyer
eyed the woman in the witness box in
patient despair Then he rallied visi-

You say, madam" he began, that
the defendant is a sort Of relation OF
yours. Will you please explain what
you mean by that-just how you are
related to the defendant"
well, it's like this" replied the wit
ness, beaming upon the court. His
first wife's cousin and my second cous-
in's first wife's aunt married brothers
named Jones, and they e cousins to
my mothers aunt. The, again, his
grandfather, on his mothers side, and
my grandfather on my nUther's side
were second cousins and his stepmoth-
er married my husbands step father,
after his father and my mother died,
and his brother Joe and my husbands
brother Harry married twin sisters. I
amt ever fggered out just how close
related we are but I've always looked
on him as a sort of cousin"
Quite right" assented the lawyer,
