Bill Was conscientious

"Bill had charge of the animal
tent" said the old circus man, "and
among his pets was a leopard, the
only one we had with the show, and
quiet enough, too. This leopard gave
Bill more trouble than all the rest of
the menagerie put together. 1t was
certainly an ugly brute.
"Well, one day when we were show

London to arrange about some adj

How He Ran

1t takes member of an ALLEN race
sometimes to make an original defini-
ton. Here is new superlative de-
scription for speech told at Marble
head the other day while the fog held
the racing yachts at anchor.
A near race riot happened in a
southern town. The negroes gathered
in one crowd and the whites in an
other. The whites fired their revolt
vers into the air and the negroes took
to their heels. Next day plantation
owner said to one Of his men:
"Sam, were you in that crowd that
gathered last night?"
"Yassir."
Did you run like the wind, Sam ?"
"No, sir. ! didn't run like the wind,
deed ! didn't. But I passed two 9th
ers that was running like the wind"

A census bureau table issued estim-
ates the number of able-bodied men
of military age in the United States
as about 21,000.O00.
The estimate is based on the as
sumption that there has been an in
crease of 10 per cent in the popula-
ton since 1910, when the total male
population over Is years, and under
as, was 19,1S3,000. Of this number
l4,224,0 900 were native whites; 1885,
90 were foreign-born whites, who had
become naturalized; 2,052,000 were
negroes, and $4,000 were Indians.
During the civil war, when the po
pulation of the country, exclusive of
the seeding states, was less than one
fourth as great as the total present
population, the number of men serv-
ing in the northern army at one time
or another was 100000. In geo
graphical subdivisions the total of
men Of military age is: For the north
ern states, 13,095,614; for the south
ern states, 6,0O6,139; for the western
states, 1,970,S22.
