Cost of Raising Boys.

A careful Investigator of the sub
ject has figured out the following in
teresting expense account" which
is declared to be below the actual
figures, if anything" "The. cost of
raising an ordinary boy for the first
twenty years of his life is here given !:
Per year for the first five years, all
expenses, 500, or $500 in all $50
per year for the next five years !;
5000 per year for the third five; $500
per year for the next three years.
and $500 for the next two, or a
total Of $4,250 outlay by the time
the boy is of age and able to hustle
for himself" We hope the Star
subscribers will remember that the
editor has taken contract to raise
two boys, and by promptly renew
ing their subscriptions they will
greatly help US out in raising that
fund Of So, 800 that has got to be
expended in behalf of those boys
before our responsibilities cease. A

The World in 1891.

The famous publishing house OF
Justus Perthes, widely known for
it's "Almanach de Gotha" and its
numerous geographical publica-
tions, has this year resumed the
publication of the "Bevoelkerung
der Erde." This notable work was
first issued in 1872 under the editor
ship of DR.. Ernest Benin, now de-
ceased, and DR.. Hermann Wagner,
now Professor of Geography in the
University of Goettingen. The new
eighth edition is large octave of
27O pages, very carefully arranged.
According to this work the area of
Asia, the largest of the great divis-
ions of the earth's surface, is H.
530,6S6 square miles, and its pop
ulation is S25 ,954 600, or forty-seven
inhabitants to the square mile.
These figures do not include the
Arctic Islands. The second grand
division in area is America, includ-
ing both the Northern and South
ern Continents, but not including
the Arctic regions. It's area is A.
8O1 ,402, and its population 121 ,713,-
600 or only eight to the square mile.
Third in area is Africa, with II ,277,-
364 square miles, and 163,953 900
inhabitants, or fourteen to the
square mile; none of these figures
including Madagascar or other
islands. The area of Europe is put
at 3,756,S6O square miles, and its
population at 357 1873 900 or ninety
four to the square mile, these figures
not including Iceland or Nova Zem-
bla. Next comes Australia, includ-
ing Tasmania. with 1891 ,442 square
miles and 3,23O,OOO population, or
only about one to the square mile.
Under the head of Polar Regions
are included 1,73O. $40 square miles,
with SO,4OO inhabitants Finally,
the islands of the oceans are grouped
together, with 733, 100 square miles
of area and 100000 inhabitants,
or about ten to the square mile.
Thus, according to this authority,
the present population of the world
is 1 ,479, ,729, 400.

The Small Boy Need Not Despair.

According to veracious authority
despite the pessimism of the day
there were never better chances for
bright young men than in this age
and generation. In an inquiry
upon this theme in the Ladies
Home Journal Foster Coates tells
what sort of lad is the one whom
success is awaiting. After citing
the respective opportunities OF the
professions, he remarks: "What l
wish to impress upon my readers
is, that while there are thousands
of men in all the professions and
commercial walks Of life in the big
cities who barely exc out an ex-
istence, there are splendid oppor.

A Brave Boy.
Near Pulaski, Tennessee, in Oc-
tober, 1868, smooth faced lad Is
years old and dressed in Confeder-
ate uniform was captured by some
Union scouts belonging to the Sec
ond Iowa Infantry. Plans Of the
Federal camp were found on him
and court martial found him
guilty as Spy and condemned him
to death by hanging. On the trial
it appeared that the plans had been
prepared and given him by citizens
Of Pulaski in view of which discov-
cry the boy, whose name was Sam
uel Davis, was told that if he would
furnish the names of these individ-
uals he would be given his liberty
and provided with cavalry escort
to Bragg's outposts, near Chatta-
nooga. This he declined to do and
preparations for the execution were
proceeded with. In plain sight of
the Jail where he was confined, the
gallows was erected and upon the
day fixed by the court Davis was
taken out to the spot seated upon
his coffin in an ambulance accom-
panied by chaplain. A funeral
dirge played by brass band which
marched in front Of the ambulance
gave solemn impressiveness to the
occasion, and on either side were
the armed guards.
Reaching the ground the heavy
solid squares of soldiers which sur
rounded the gallows swung back,
the prisoner, chaplain, guards and
four men bearing the coffin entered
and the casket was placed at the
foot of the steps leading up to the
platform. Then the boy and chap
lain kneeled and prayer was offered
by the latter, after which the pris-
oner was about to mount the steps
when he was touched on the shoul-
der by the Provost Marshal who
spoke to him. The boy looked
about him. All around were blue
coats, their muskets glistened in the
sunshine, and with not friendly
face among them. To the westward
the hills were lined with citizens
his own people, assembled to
witness the tragedy. In front stood
the gallows, the rope swinging gent
ly back and forth. Handsome,
young and daring, life was full of
attractions and death upon the gal
lows peculiarly repulsive and hor-
rible. That death he had it in his
power to escape; life with all its
charms and possibilities could yet
be his. A dread position was this
to confront the judgment and try
the courage of mature man and
silence was intense as that bright
faced lad hesitated. Then he drew
a long breath, shook his head,
walked up the steps and took posi-
ton under the rope ;. the black cap
was drawn over his head, the moose
adjusted, the trap sprung and then
and there went out the life of as
brave lad as ever donned uni
form. In that moment of hesita-
ton he had once more refused life
and liberty at the cost of betrayal
of those who had given him the
plans of the Federal camp.

Is q Mile in 100 Possible?

The old fight with time on the
trotting track is SO important a one
to the comfort and convenience of
every American, that the loss of
half second on the record of Maud
S. in 2:084 is an event which stirs
far wider eddy of interest than is
bounded by the race track.
The swift mile made by Maud S.
at Glenville, Ohio, July 80, 1885,
has now stood as a record for six
years and over-a longer period
than any other like record has re-
mained unchanged since 2:264 was
made in 1914, and was unchanged
until 1852. In go years no other
record has gone unchanged one-half
as long, so steady are the changes
by which mile in 8 minutes has
been reduced to within ST seconds
of 2 100 in the seventy-three years,
stree thousands of dollars were bet
that no horse could trot in less than
3 minutes.
1t has taken 200 years of breed
ing and training to bring the thor
oughbred 24t seconds short of 200,
and the mile in 1851 made by Sal
vator at Monmouth Park is as yet
only a year old. Trotting is bounded
by this century, and ninety years
have seen an advance which arouses
speculation as to the possibility OF
reaching that distant goal and far
off bound of mile in two minutes.
If the records go on dropping as
fast as they have for forty-eight
years past. during which twenty
have been cut off the slowly dimin-
ishing record, this speed will be
reached in about 1910.-Philadel-
phia Press.

What the Indians Want.

WASHINGTON, Feb, circumference with
the Sioux Indian delegation was resumed
this morning by the commissioner of Indi-
an affairs. Commissioner Morgan said he
thought they had already heard all that
was necessary in regard to the past. What
was wanted now was to hear their plans
for the future. He was prepared to issue
100000 worth of beef to Indians who were
entitled to receive it, which was cut off in
the past; Senator Dawes, who was pres
were Industrious, the government would
undoubtedly do its part and help them to
become self-supporting. THE first speaker
from the Indian delegation was White
Ghost, of the Crow Creek reservation, who
spoke of the encroachment of the whites
upon the lands of the Indians. The COM
missioner sssured him that he would have
that matter fully Investigated and RENE:
said that it amounted to only 100 grains q
week to each person. He referred to the
small ration of bacon issued and
said that, at a meeting of the
delegation yesterday, q unanimous decis-
!3.! ion was reached that they did not want
called the attention of the Indians to the
difficulty in getting correct census of the
Indians He said he wanted the aid OF the
Indians in getting at the truth. Big Name,
OF Lower Brule agency, told Commissioner
Morgan that the white people prevented
the Indians from getting fuel and hay. He
wanted the agency moved nearer, as they
needed better school facilities. He COM
planned of the small size of the beef cattle
given them for food. and humorOusly at
tributed it to the defective eyesight of the
agent. Little No Heart, from Cheyenne
River agency, said his people wanted more
and larger schools where their children
could learn the white mans ways.
He protested against the appointment
of military agents. The commissioner
said that inasmuch as nearly all who had
spoken and expressed some desire he
OF the delegation were in favor of civil
agents and how many in favor of military
agents, and asked such of the Indians
as preferred civil agents to stand up.
With single exception they all stood up.
The only one who preferred military
agent was Major SWOrdes. chief of the
Indian police at Pine Ridge. Mad
Bear, from Standing Rock, said
his reservation insisted upon more reser
vatiOn schools. If schools were located on
the reservation their influence would be
felt not only by pupils but by parents as
well. Several others spoke but nothing of
interest was elected. Another conference
will be held Wednesday when Indians
from Pine Ridge and ROsebud agencies
will speak.
