We went abroad then. and every
where Uncle amused himself by put
ting me under the best music masters,
and giving me all possible advantages
in languages, literature, and art.
Three years ago he died at Carlsbad,
and after his death l went back to my
music studies, following his wishes in
the matter, and staying with a dear
old lady in Vienna, who had been kind
to US when we were there before.
las soon rs my uncle's death was
known at home, Richard wrote the
most pathetic letter to me, protesting
deep contrition, and saying he could
never forgive himself for having quar-
relied with his dear uncle. He had
sad tale of how the business that he
had started had failed and left him
with debts. If he had only few hun
dred dollars, he could go on with it
and pay off everything. He said l had
inherited all that would have been his
if he had done right, and he recog-
nized the justice of it, but begged that
l would lend him small sum until he
could get on his feet, when he would
repay me.
II had little faith in his reformation,
but felt as if I could not refuse him
when I was enjoying what might have
been his, so | sent him all the money
l had at hand. AS I was not yet of
age, I could not control all the prop
erty, but my allowance was liberal.
Richard continued to send me volum-

him. | declined emphatically, but he
continued to write for money, always
ending with a statement of his indy
ing affection. In disgust, I at last
offered to send him a certain sum OF
money regularly if he would stop
writing to me on this subject, and fin
ally succeeded in reducing our CORE
spondence to a check account. This
has been going on for three years, ex-
cept that he has been constantly ask
ing for larger sums, and whenever
would say that / could not spare
more just then he would begin telling
me how much he cared for me, and
how hard it was for him to be separat
ed from me. l began to feel desperate
about him, and made up my mind that
when l received the inheritance
should ask the lawyers to make some
arrangement with him by which
should no longer be annoyed.
1T was necessary for me to return
to America when l came of age, in
order to sign certain papers and take
full charge of the property. Richard
knew this. He seems to have had some
way of finding out everything my
Uncle did.
He wrote telling me of a dear
friend of his mother, who was soon tC
pass through Vienna, and who by
some misfortune had been deprived o.
a position as companion and chaperor
to a young girl who was travelling. He
said it had occurred to him that per
haps he could serve US both by sus
costing to me that she be my travelling

that within the next month he would

A sTINGY CONGRESS.

In the preparation of the census re-
suits for the public the director of the
census had laid upon him the highly
unsatisfactory task of making bricks
without the requisite quantity of
straw. For the ruling powers, in a
praiseworthy but unenlightened desire
for economy, write Kate Holiday Clay
born in The Survey, have cut down the
appropriationsfor this great enterprise to
about half the amount stated by the
director to be imperatively needed and
to much less than hall, the amount re-
quired to make a thoroughly full and
satisfactory presentation of the census
facts. Every lover of efficiency should
enter an urgent protest against such a
short-sighted policy. What should be
thought of the business manager whose
first act of economy was to discharge
the bookkeeper and throw away the
ledger? Yet that is precisely what is
done in so far as our government cur
tails it's activities in keeping proper
account of that most important ele-
ment of our national resources-our
population.
1t is unfortunate that supplies are al
ways begrudged to statistical work Of
any description, due Target to the
general prejudice against statistics. The
average man is repealed by long, dry
columns of figures, and will not try
to understand them. Consequently, he
thinks them useless, and their prepara-
ton merely an excuse for drawing fat
salaries And it is the average man,
to great extent, who controls the
purse-strings.
But, after all, these dry statistics"
of our census give the basal facts by
which any effective direction of social
and political forces must be guided.
Indeed, there is hardly a scrap of in
formation in the many bulky volumes
of the twelfth census which has not
been used to practical purpose and
found invaluable by some worker along
some line of social advance, and there
has been crying need for more-much
more information than that census af-
