I v-i.Mim-ltl'nn 3,000,000. Therefore, If tho ' rnto of growth of tho last century Is maintained In the future ono, In the year of our lord 2010 wo will bo 94, 000,000 multiplied by 31, which will bo well, you figure It out. Sufllce It to suspire thnt there will bo some fow of MB nearly 3,000,000,000. Hut doe3 any ono think for n mo ment thnt there will not bo room for us. It so, let him find solnco In tho calculations of Professor Smith of Washington, D. C, who calculates that If worse came to worso tho en tiro population or tho United States could get In tho District of Columbia nnd thero would be somo elbow room. In Bhort, an averago person, stand ing up, only occupies a pint about two feet square, nnd thero would bo flvo feet squaro for each ono of tho 91,000,000 In tho District of Colum bia. Figures nro a great thing, aren't they, particularly when thoy nro mndo up Into statistics. A person may hnvo no particular head for fig ures, but statistics will make him dizzy with Joy. Thero Is Jim Hill, for oxamplo. When statistics aro concerned ho Is tho human cash reg ister, with n whirling dervish accele rator. If ho woro addressing tho morning breakfast tnblo today ho would look over tho fresh young faces nnd then smilingly pro claim: "Docs any ono know how many acres each being in tho United States would hnvo If tho country's area woro equally divided? No? Twenty ncrou. Tho country can dlstrlbuto 31 souls In every squaro mllo. Thoro arc 850,000,000 pcoplo In Asia nnd yet thoy could hnvo one nqunre mile for every CO of them, in " It's awful tlresomo stuff to listen to, but It is grent sport to launch It. Just try It somo tlmo when you hnvo some people nt your morcy. It's n painless punishment. And speaking of painless punishments, what Is the mntter with Nebraska? Four mll llounlro cnttlemeu In thnt stato were recently convicted of fencing for their own use miles of government laud nnd wero sentenced to Jail. Hut before tho sentences wero Imposed tho aforesaid cattlemen were allowed to mnko n tour of the various Jails HE world today is looking for men who nro not for Bale; men who can tell tho truth and look tho world right In tho eye; men who neither brag nor run; men who neither flag nor flinch; men who can hnvo courngo without shouting nbout It; men who know their business nnd nttend to It; men who will not lie, shirk nor dodge, men who nro not too lnzy to work, nor too proud to bo poor; men who are willing to cat what they earn nnd wear what they have paid for. Thoro nro not nny too ninny men todny who live up to this definition. There nro lots of good men who enn fulfill the greater part of It but to find a man who completely Alls tho bill, without denying a single clauso of it, would be far moro dlulcult than to find a man who docs not nnswer half tho definition. ASA CAREY AND THE REAR. (In Pendleton, nt tho annual round-up, spectators gasp nt tho dar ing of cowboys who ride bucking horses and wild steers. In Curry county riding prowess Is along differ ent lines. A truo story of tho achie vement of a Port Orford celobrlty has been translated into tho appended verso.) Dut did you hear tho story, so strange, yet truo as well, Not ono that fancy painted llko somo folks often toll, Dut ono that's really truthful, and this I will declare, And omphaslzo with firmness Asa Cnroy rodo n bear. This hnpponed down In Curry, n part of this fair stato, Which now seems forging to tho front, a coming out, though Into, Llko blossoms on tho sweetest roso but really I declare, I quite forgot my story Asa Cnroy rodo n bear. and select the one they liked best. Tamo seems to have noglectod toj01,Hly subscribed for mngnzlnos, eservo tho nnmo of tho man who) billed n private library nnd, prese first rnmnrki'd upon tho boosting qualities of the novor-consliiK knock, lint fnmo Iiiih mndo a lot of mistakes. Sho should hnvo written It bright nnd strong on hor ttnmlug scroll nlong Hide of the names of Somite, Pla to, Onlllluo, Kant nnd Sir Inane Xew tou. In fnct, for tho plain, practical plujwors llko you nnd mo. sho might hnvo put It u little higher up on the parchment. Time limy yet put Plato nnd Soc Tnlos on tho bum; Sir Isnnc Xowtou tfooniM to linvo a clueh, but It Is pos sible thnt there'll bo u dny when tho theories of Mr. Kant oun't eoiuo back. Hut tho mnn who II rut said; "Ev ery knock's n boost," stilted an Im mortal truth, nnd as long as men nro mon und women aro women, nnd wo nil hnvo a little of tho heart stuff left in us thnt that bou mot with the bark on It Is going to live and Hhltie. Humanity Is beginning to cut Its oyetooth. Tho more wo know tho nmro wo realize our shortcoming. Tho moro wo nmllzo our shortcom ings tho more wo sympathise with tho other fellow. Sympathy the most enduring quality of the hunuu soul. Deep down at the bottom of every heart is a warm spot that standa for fair play. Yout neighbor may not show much lnterobt In you. but ho doesn't want to uio you clouted with the club eve ry time your back I turned. When the liur lays for you It gets on the othr fellow's nerves. Finally hit fUt gets Into tho nght and youve got ti friend you didn't figure on. And viipn you nail the knocker utne times out of tin you get your ehnnce to uatl hliu - -your ueigubor mid your neighbor's utdghbor kuow the lay of the land and they're for you to a fareyewoll. Hammer music never made a hit with n mnn worth worrying over. Knocks novor did anything but fitlr up strife for tho knocker. Dnokbltlng Is hateful to tho unl it sounds llko vaudeville, but tho Nebraska panel's vouch for it. Tho prisoners furnished tho cells luxurl- In-nl- thotigh the dispatches do not an nounce It, no doubt stocked their siilolioards with tho best wine und vlgiirs. Now who could bliuno Hobby l.a Pollotto from pulling his pompa dour und letting out u few pollysyl lubles when ho hoard of that? And it Is serious biisluose. This Is the sort of Justice for malefactors ot wealth, which provides Juatlllcntlon for this tall; of class prejudice and a red rag nnd dynamite revolutions Thoro Is n groat deal moro fulr play In the country than many of tho ngl tators and park bench philosophers would have us think, but as long as Justice In nny American court Is tem pered by n bank account thoro Is a great wrong being done which de munds correction. Let the Nebraska olllclnls bo ask ed, for example, how they would fur nish the apartments of if cattleman who, instead of appropriating tunny thousand dollars' worth of public laud, had stolen n $30 steor? - When n man has a cold in his head It down't loavo room for much else. : In ulue cases out of ten, when peo ple are Indignant, there la no remedy. : Half the world does not know how the other half lives, but Is trying to And out. .i. When not studying the Dibit, a preacher must And week days mighty lonesome. Some Coos Hay men are so awk ward that they cuu't pay a oowoll ment without giving offense. What has become of the old fashioned father who whlnpod his sou until the neighbors said the blood ran out of tho poor boy's shoo-tops? So Asa went and set n bear trnp.bonenth n spreading on);, And trouble then was browlu' for bruin this no Joke, And from n limb suBpendod, ho plac ed a bill of fnroj I think ho said 'twas equine, nnd Asa caught tho bear. U. t? Ho caught him by tho hind log, el up to bo secure. Asa went then to n neighbor's to hnvo a witness sure. Tho neighbors enmo nnd snw him throw n ropo, thnt landed fnlr, Around the neck of bruin, nnd then ho snubbed tho boar. Horntliis nt tho bridge Is naught, Thornionylno Is tnmo, This Ursine ride of terror entitles grentor fame. Asn stood thoro llko n Spartnn, orect, serenely fnlr, Thon bowing to his audience, ho calmly rodo tho bonr. E'en Nolan In tho Jaws of death on Dalaklava's field Must In tin final issuo tho pnlm of courngo ylold; Tho world did wonder ns It should when death shots filled tho air. Tho Jaws of doath wero 'en bostrodo, whon Asn rode the bear.
