Population of Texas.

On the date of the Battle of San
Jacinto, April 81, 1886, the combined
population of Texas, Indians included,
was approximately 10000. OF this
number not more than $4,000 were
whites.
BY 1850 the population had in
creased nearly skiold, or to 212,592.
In 1860 1t was 604,251, an increase for
the decade of 1874 per cent; in 1870
S1S,579, an increase of 35 per cent; in
1880 1891 TAG, or "a per cent; in 1890
2,235,523, or 40 per cent; in 1900
3,O4S,710 or SO per cent; in 1910 g.
S96,542, or 20 per cent.
A recent report of the United States
census shows that in Texas the negro
race did not increase proportionally
as much as the white and that the
negro population Of the entire state
represented a smaller percentage in
1910 than in 1900.

Was skating gaily on her way.

And vainly tried to catch her eye.
He fain would speak to her, and yet
He knew that they had never met.
But he was wise, and in trice
He took a flop and broke the ice.

And heard him murmur: "Oh, fudge!

And didn't say just what he meant
And as she wondered what to do

Maud grabbed the judge, he broke her
hold,
And thereupon her love grew cold.

Maud Muller was all right you bet
For tho her clothes were cold and wet
She heard him gurgling "Oh, fudge!'

And said as she brushed a struggling
