THE CENTER OP POPULATION
IN THE UNITED STATES
Wcods, (or Rural), Ind., Nov. 7
—This hamlet, which includes Ace
Norton's farm, wagon ! garage and
horse shoeing emporium, Heu Sut
tons' grocery, and Clint Sander's
store—not to mention eleven houses,
ten barns, a fancier's hennery and
two bright G. R. & I. railroad tracks
—is the "median point" or center
of population of the United States.
The .hasty geographers who fol
lowing the 1910 census, placed the
center of population by the side of
a furniture factory in nearby Bloom
lngtou (Ind.), overlooked the ham
let, which is known as both Woods
and Rural. The mixup over the
right name is beside the point, but
the natives hero get along fairly
well with both names. When one
stands in Wood's front main street,
he ca:i turn to the east and say:
Half of the people in the lUnited
States are East of me". He can
turn to the east and say: "Half of
the people In the United States
are west of me". And of the north
and south he can say the same. In
the popular mind that is what the
"center of population" means. Sci
entifically, it is known as the "med
lau point". The Washington author
ities said it could be found where
.latitude 39 degrees 10 min
utes and 12 seconds north intersec
ted 80 degrees and 20 seconds lon
gitude west. And this is exactly
where Woods (or Rural) is situated.

Transporting a
Fortune
By MILLARD MALTBIE
IIow 1 found the celebrated Impera
tor diamond does not pertain especial
ly to this story, but wliere I found It
Is Important for my effort to get It
away from the region where It had
lain ever since a lump of pure carbon
was crystallized and became a gem as
big as a walnut Is what 1 am going to
tell you about. When 1 was a young
ster I ran away from home and a few
weeks later found myself In the prov
ince of Mluas Geraes, In Brazil, where
the diamond mines nre. I worked In
the mines for five years and couldn't
very well do that without learning
something about diamonds.
One Sunday I was out on a tramp
and. stopping to rest, noticed near me
a stone that It struck me looked like a
diamond In the rough. I took it up to
examine It and found It exactly like
the uncut stones I had dug up for the
diamond company, only I had never
seen one half the size. I was a good
deal upset, for If the thing was a dia
mond 1 was rich.
But ns I have said. It was the get
ting away with it that I'm going to tell
about It was a diamond, sure enough,
and one of the big ones of the world.
While I was looking at it Jim Stivers
came up, and I was fool enough to let
him see it. He knew right off that it
was worth the biggest part of a mil
lion dollars, and a stone like that is
a great temptation for any one. He
congratulated me on my And and be
gan at once to plot to get it from me.
Jim had more sense than I in this.
He didn't tell any one about my hav
ing It except three men whom he used
to get it away from me. lie knew I
would go to I5lo with It. and bis plan
was to have me waylaid and the stone
captured.
Of course I didn't know just what
he would do, but I did know that once
I got out of the region of law and or
der—In other words, off by myself—
somebody would try for my property.
I concluded to endeavor to fool who
ever suspected I had It with me by
playing a part. The plan 1 adopted
was this: 1 found a countryman who
was going down with a load of wood
and told him 1 would go with him. He
said he was agreeable, and 1 slept the
night before we started near his
wagon, which was already loaded.
During the night 1 took one of the
logs—one that I would recognize easily
—and. boring a big hole in It under a
piece of loose bark, put my diamond in
It Then, plugging up the hole. I let
down the bark, first putting a little
glue between it and the wood to hold
it In place. Then I threw the log back
on to the load.
We started early In the morning, and
I, not wishing to be identified with the
woodman, at times kept In his rear
and at times In advance of him. Al
though I hadn't told any one I was
going on the trip. 1 found the road
picketed. 1 passed a man who looked
at me searchlngly. and It wasn't Ions
before, hearing footsteps behind me, I
turned and saw him coming with two
others. They caught up with me, and
one of them, who knew me by sight,
said. "That's the man." and. address
ing me. added:
•'Young feller, the diamond company
has tnlssed a valuable uncut stoue
and. having been Informed that It is in
your possession, has sent us to de
mand it of you. Please hand it out"
"1 haven't any diamond." I replied.
"I'm as poor as poverty and don't know
where I shall get a bite to eat"
They didn't waste any words, but
two of them held me while the third
went through my pockets, my hair,
my beard—indeed, every part of me.
Tben be took off my clothes, leaving
me stark naked, and examined every
seam, every inch of cloth, even hold
ing them up and looking through tbem
to the light
"I reckon he has either sent It on
ahead or left it behind to come later,"
said the man who bad done the search
ing. All would have gone well had
not the woodcutter's wagon come
lumbering down the road and be had
to ask me in a familiar way what my
appearing in my birthday clothes
meant The men pricked up their ears
at this and nsked him If he knew me,
and ho told them that we were fellow
travelers.
Ho got a thorough searching for his
pains, the men thinking that he was
carrying the gem for me. Then they
examined the horses, the harness, the
wagon, looking even Into the hubs of
the wheels. One of them suggested
that what tbey were looking for might
be between the logs o? wood, and
they threw every log off on to the road,
carefully watching for the diamond
between them.
But It was of no use. The stone was
not to be found.
Tbey didn't like to give it up: but.
believing that I had conveyed the
treasure by some other method, they
Anally concluded to do so. They had
Instructions from Stivers not to hurt
me. If tbey could get the diamond
they were to do so. but tbey were not
to commit murder or make a case
against those Implicated in the at
tempted robbery. So I was allowed
to proceed.
When we reached Klo I took the log
In which I bad hidden the diamond off
the load, paid the woodman for it and.
putting it on my shoulder, went away
with It
I sailed for Amsterdam, that 1 might
get my stone cut, ana when it was in
proper condition sold it foe. 5650,000 to
a Hanoverian prince.
