In t-pcech delivered some time
ago Senator Dawes surprised his
hearers by declaring that the
progress of the United States
westward had been so great that
"the sun will not go down to
?ight upon our,iwestward border
until it shall have risen on the
cost of Maine." We have been
accustomed to hearing such ex
pressions used in illustration of
the territorial extent of th?t
British Empire, but it is a new
experience to hear it applied to
the United States.
In 1800 the center of American
population was twenty miles east
of Columbus, Ind. In 1700 it was
twenty-three miles east of Balti
more, at a point 505 miles east of
that established by the late cen
sus. During the century, there
fore, the center of population has
moved westward at the rate of
more than five miles a year, 78
feet a day or something over 8
feet an hour. From 1880 to 1890
the distance gained was 48 miles,
and if the same rate has been
maintained since the census year
the center of population should I
now be within eight miles of I
Columbus, Ind. I
Americans will have no reason
to blush at the comparison of the
completed ships of our new navy I
with the vessels of ..foreign
powers.

On board a Baltimore train pull
iug into Parkersburg was a man I
whose demeanerconveyed the im- I
pression that ho was matter ot I
fact all the way through. No I
foolishness, no trifling with in I
the everyday afTairs of this busy I
old life. I
"Mr. Conductor, what time do I
we got into Parkersburg?"
"Ten-twenty,"replied the official I
politely.
"Yes. Well what time can I I
get a train on west?" I
"Nine-twenty."
"To-morrow?"
"To-nighi." I
? 'Conductor don't take me for I
a fool because my beard grows
the wrong way, and my clo's
suggest whip-poor-wills and
pennyroyal. I'm serious."
"So am I. good friend, you can
do it all right."
"W-a-11, now, how?"
"Just keep your seat."
"And leave town and hour be
fore I get into it?' I
"That is the idea, my good I
fellow "
"Look h'yer. You may be a I
good conductor, an' know all the I
stations, an' the spotters,an' how I
to knock down 40 per cent o' the I
receipts, but when you claim to I
have a reversin' lever on the sun, I
you'r decidedly off."
"But the time changes an I
hour at the river." I
"Then, at this rate, if I go on
to San Francisco, I'll get there I
some time last week. I guess I
I'll get off and wait till I catch up I
with myself."?Ex.
