A BOY AND A RIFLE.
And the Trick the Father Played to

And the Trick the Father Played to
Make the Youngster Careful.
Exact statistics on the subject are
lacking, but it Is certain that the man
who didn't know it was loaded" kills
and mains annually a great many per-
sons. The only. safe rule with gun
is never under any circumstances to
point it at anybody. One should al
ways act on the assumption that it is
loaded. Unfortunately, though, an aver
age human being learns only by ex-
perience. and where gun is concerned
that often entails an awful price.
Bearing this in mind a veteran
sportsman of this city adopted q
unique method Of impressing this les
son on his son. This is how he told
the story:
II want my son to be a sportsman,
so that when he gets to be as old as
his father he may have as many
pleasant memories to look back to-
Therefore. on his sixteenth birthday I
gave him a rifle. And instead Of read
, ing him long lecture on the necessity
of handling the weapon carefully, put
up job on him that would be far more
effective. After he had spent a couple
of hours fondling 1t and cleaning it
and examining the mechanism. after
the manner Of healthy boys. contriv-
Gu unknown to him to slip a blank
cartridge into the breach.
'Then called him out into the yard
and holding my hat in front Of me. ask
ed him to show me how he would take
aim at it. There was an explosion. and
he fell in a dead faint. You may think
it mean Of me. but allowed him to
think that only the badness Of his aim
or some Intervention Of Providence
saved me from death. The lesson he
learned will last him through life. be-
cause terrible fright accompanied 1t.
Some day when he gets old enough to
have boy of his own, ! shall tell him
of the trick played on hlm."-New

THE CENSUS OF 1870.
United States Population Then Was
Less Than 100000.

When the first census of the United
States was taken in 1890, there We're 16
states and the southwest and north.
west territories. The returns fixed the
population at 3,929,214, while those Of
1900 give over 76,OOO,0OO, a fourteen.
fold growth in 40 years.
In the first census nothing was
sought but the number Of inhabitants,
and the task was assigned to United
States marshals, who performed the
work for several censuses. In the CEN.
sus library is a record of the first cen.
sus, which shows that the census of
1890 was ordered in March and COM
pleted by October, 1871. very credita.
BILE showing when the difficulty Of COM
munication is considered. The pOpula-
ton was divided into five classes-free
white males of 16 years and upward,
including heads Of families; free white
females. including heads Of families;
free white males under 1G years, other
persons, slaves. Fourteen enumeration
districts were mapped out of the 1G
states and the population of the towns,
counties and states given. All of the
states except Maine and Massachusetts
had slaves. Virginia led with a popu-
lation Of 747.610 whites and $4,000
slaves. North Carolina was second,
with 1903. 751 whites and 100000 slaves.
Maryland had population Of 422, 1855,
of which fO3,O36 were slaves. The slave
population of the northern states Is
given as follows:
New Hampshire, 1853; Rhode Island,
048: Connecticut. 2,764; New York, 21,-
1924; New Jersey. 1l,423; Pennsylvania.
1921; Delaware, 1857; Vermont. 16.
The population of the southwest ter
ritory was 35.691 whites and 3,417
slaves.
The record is full of errors in calcula-
ton and addition. but Is interesting in
showing how the population has In.
creased and how the art of census TAX
ing has developed with the population.

Miller's managers hesitate in purchasing
the play, and even after purchasing it
they continued to have misgivings as to
whether the public would accept the
theme or not 1t seems, however, from
the reports received that this theme is
made very appealing one and that this
very factor is the one that lends the play
its element of suspense and makes it vi
tally interesting. 1t is this dramatic
background which makes it possible to
lead up to the great climax in the fourth
act. which is described as one of the most
thrilling which any of the modern Play
wrghts have evolved in many years. Evil
dence is not lacking that Miller has in

markable as it is successful.

4 LETTER FROM LORD cuRzoN.
The Viceroy of India Thanks Ameri-
cans for Famine Contributions

The Consul at Bombay has forwarded to
the State Department the following letter
from Lord Curzon. viceroy of India. in
which he expresses his appreciation of
the contributions made by the American
people for the relief of the famine
sufferers in India:
'The Viceroy has the greatest pleas
ure in adding his testimony to that which
he understands that you are sending to
the American people, as to the immense
value of the contributions that have been
made by the American public to the re-
lief Of the recent Indian famine Wheth-
er these contributions have taken the
form of money, or clothing or grain.
they have sprung from the two noblest
of human sentiments, namely. the feeling
for suffering mankind and the recogni-
tion of a common tie between the two
great branches OF the English-speaking
race, and they have exercised a positive
and material influence in the mitigation
of the greatest calamity with which In
dia has been afflicted for many years.
