extent OF more than three years, and
in the case OF the native whites and
negroes, more than three and one
half years.
The expectation OF life at the age
Of one year is considerably greaer
than at birth. being 56.s years for
native white males and SOS for ma
tive white females, and reaches Its
maximum at the age OF two, when II
is SIS for the former class and 60.l
for the latter. At the age OF 12 years
the average native white males ex-
petation OF life Is 50.2 years; at 25
1t is 39.4 years: at 40, 1873 years;
at SO. 21.2 years; at so, 14.6 years;
at 40, 81 years; and at so, SO years.
Similarly. at the age Of 10 the aver
age native white females expectation
of life is 52.6 years: at %. Alb
years: at 40, 30.3 years; at so, 22.S;
at 60. 1873 years: Mt 20, 9.s years;
and at 80. 6.5 years.
Apart OF the difference between
expectation OF life for men and for
women is due to the greater number
of violent deaths among men: sui
cides. homicdies; and accidental
deaths-are Of males. and such
deaths form about seven or eight per
cent OF the total NUMBER occurring
each year. This fact. however, does
not account fully. or even in major
part. for the greater longevity Of
women. An examination Of the tables
discloses a lower death rate for fe-
males than for males during each
OF the first twelve months OF life and
in the case Of the native whites. dur
ing each year Of life up to the age Of
"a. During the first month OF life
the death rate among native whites
is nearly twenty-eight per cent high
or for boys than for girls, and during
the first year It is more than twenty
per cent higher.

They Take Things from Ware
House but Fail to Open
Rear Door.

A burglar or two seems TO have a
sort OF fascination for Sturm and Will
sons drug store. The place was en-
tered and robbed about four months
ago and Saturday night It was entered
and robbed again, evidently by the
same person, or persons. Na
Entrance this time was gained to the
ware house in the rear Of the store by
tearing hole in a wall, as was the
case in the previous burglary, but tho
rear door Of the store this time defied
all efforts Of the thieves despite the
fact that they had a big jimmy along.
A largo sheet Of galvanized iron had
been nailed over the inside Of the door
to cover the hole made by the burglars
four months ago and new bolt had
been placed high above the old lock.
The burglars this time managed to
punch hole through the galvanized
iron. but they could not reach the
bolt. Efforts were made to pry the
easement away from the door. but
without success.
Baffled in the attempt to break into
the store, the burglars took an inven-
tory OF the ware house and helped
themselves to several things. includ-
ing half dozen boxes Of fine cigars.
They were frightened away by noises,
or were forgetful, as they left their
jimmy resting against the rear door
Of the store.
