I her mother she broke into SObS-a child's
OutburSt of sorrow that was soon soothed
Long after she was in bed and fast
asleep he paced up and down the small
sitting-room with quick, uneven steps.
The simple words Of her PRAYER haunted
him. 'LOok upon a little child" Yes:
that was what he had once prayed, kneel-
ing by his mothers side-the mother
whom he had loved so dearly; and he
could almost feel her loving goodnight
kiss again upon his face. Back to his
memory came that sad day when, haSti-
ly summoned from school, he had trav-
eled so many miles to see her for the
last time. He was but a boy then;
pUreminded, honest boy; and now
He clenched his hands tightly: but moth
ing could for one moment appeaSe the
agony in his heart. Again he traced his
retrOgreSSiOn step by step-the small be
ginning of evil he thought of so lightly
those gay wine parties from which he
had returned home with aching head
and dulled brain-thOse mad rides across
country which he and his companions
would take, ending always in an eve
ming Of wild dissipation. How reckless
ly he had squandered the money that
his father had so generously given him!
And then had come a day when even
the indulgent father had grown tired of
the never-ending demands for money,
and had written to tell his son to expect
nothing more except his allowance and
the check he enclosed.

AND RUSSIA THIRD.
London Daily News.
The comparative tables of the popu-
lation and area of the various countries
of the world, taking them with their de-
tendencies, which appear in the new
edition of The Statesman's Year Book"
have been compiled from Prof. LevaS-
seur's statistics furnished to the Inter
national Statistical Institute. and may
be described as presenting old facts in a
new and striking light.
In point of area the British empire
stands at the very head of the list, the
number of thousands of square miles
being 9.339, Russia following closely
with S.644
Though the Chinese empire is but a
little less than one-half as extensive as
its great neighbOr. in population China,
with her 4O4,000.000. tops all the eoun-
tries of the earth. The British empire
comes next with 307,OO0,OOO, and Rus
sia with only IO4.O00.000; while France
has but 100000. the United States
and the German empire As
000,000. The comparative rates of in
crease Of population of the European
States since 1900 also yield some in
Structiye results. Thus. while the Uni
ted Kingdom has since this period risen
from 16.250,000 to 37,000,000, Russia in
Europe from 55.000,000 to SS,0O0,OOO,
and the German empire from 100000
to 47.G00,O00 Gncluding Alsaee and LOr-
Idine. France has only advanced from
100000 to 3S,250,000. Prof. LevaS-
,eUr estimates that between 1910 and
1874 the entire population of the world
about doubled the figures being 6S2,-

Trade Brisk, Prices Firm and an Easy
Money Market.

1NDlANAtOLlS, sept. TO-
The dizziness of Monday passed off to-day. In all
departments trade was reported brisk. The prompt
ness with which bill are being settled shows that
there is, comparatively speaking, an easy money
market. In prices to-day there were no fluctuations
of Importance. Dry goods men report prices very
firm, and advances more probable than any declines.
Coming to the grocery market strong prices prevail
all along the line, Sugars although not q~uotably
higher, were in stronger position on the scant su pply
than last week. The produce men are very busy.
Receipts of apples. peaches and pears are moderate.
and frmer prices are noted. Pears are really short of
the demand. Eggs, butter and poultry ali rule
steady at the quotations of several days past. The
iron, hardware. and timers supplies markets are de-
ci6edly frmer IN tone, although no marked advances
have been established. Other markets present no
new features.
GRAIN.
There was a decidedly better tone to the local market
to-day, and more animation was shown in the bidding.
