If he made a clerk of him that
meant that he would always be a
clerk, because owners of stores don't
start in business this way.
If he made a machinist of him the
chances were. with hts careless ways,
he would never amount to anything.
And all through the list of trades
and professions the old man studied
and studied and tried to ut the boy
out with an occupation. Knowing him
so well. his ways and habits, his apti-
tude for this and that, his inclinations
and his dislikes, there was nothing In
the list that would fit. And when he
went to bed that night and finally fell
asleep, he dreamed of seeing his son

Next morning, still undecided, but
with a faith in luck and a determina-

sort of work, he told the youth that
he must choose his own occupation
and do his own seeking for a place.
The manner in which he spoke did not
fail to convince the boy that for one

the old man after all, and that ne

And he found no place. Nobody
wanted a boy. That night when ne

smartaleckness out of him there was
a sweetness about home that he never
realized before. IT was the first time
he dreaded seeing the old man. Here
tofore he had framed all sorts Of ex-
cuses that had not the slightest foun-

the goods without hesitation. Now he
was carrying home the real truth
without the slightest faint of falsity,
and yet he dreaded to tell it. Would
the old man believe him? Would the
old man relent and let him go back to

breaking up these swindlers, but moth
ing has been done. He adds that che
reason for this inaction on the part Of

money in order to receive legacy, to

Beginning with January lst, the
Treasury statisticlans in figuring on the
per capita wealth of the Uulted States,
the Hawaiian Islands, Alaska and the
Indian Territory will be included,
which will have tendency to slightly
reduce the per capita wealth, which
was last figured at about $27. If Ha-
wall should be included. the question
naturally arises why should not Porto
Rico. the Philippines. and the other
Pacific Islands. which are now owned
by the United States also be included.
Of course. the statisticians, who never
see things as ordinary folks do, had
their reasons.

WASHINGTON LETTER,

FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT.
WASHINGTON, DEcMEBER 3lsT, 1900.
The situation in China seems to jus
tify the predictions OF these who have
said from the first that the presentation
of the demands Of the powers to China
would be but the beginning, instead of
the end Of negotiations. In place OF
answering the demands, the Chinese
government has asked FIVE questions.
Those questions are so reasonable that
the powers caa hardly attach any blame
to their asking and yet they may prove
the entering wedge for negotiations
which will drag along until the patience
Of yerybody except the Chinese, is com
pletely worn out. When those ques
tions are answered, the Chinese govern.
ment will have probably prepared an
other batch equally as reasonable. and
80 on indefinitely, if allowed to do 3d.
Meanwhile, the Empress Dowager, is
playing ducks and brakes in the inter
ior of China, the foreign troops, except
ing our own. are dividing their time be-
tween chasing alleged boxers and loot
ing, and the rest of the world is guess
ing what sort of an end it will all have.
The question enters the twentieth CEN
