Y Imperial preee HIS FIRST RECOGNITION. fb« TarnlßS Point la the Career *ff Nathaniel Hawthorne. The first reading of "The Scarlet Letter" has been told In T. W. Hlg rlnson's book of essays, "Contempo raries." The reafllng was given to the author's dearest critic, his wife. During the entire winter wben be was at work upon the book be seemed op pressed by some secret anxiety. "There was a knot in bis forehead 111 the time," said Mrs. Hawthorne. Finally one evening be went to her and said that he bad written something which be would like to read aloud. The work amounted to very little, but | still he would like to read it. All that evening be read, but as the romance was unfinished at bedtime bis wife made no comments, knowing that be disliked criticism until one bad heard the whole. The next night he read again, and now her suspense grew so unendurable that in the midst of a moving scene she sank from her low stool to the floor, pressed her hands to her ears and declared that sho could not bear to hear It. Hawthorne put down the manuscript nnd looked at her in amazement "Do you really feel it so much?" he asked. "Then there must be something in it." The next day the manuscript was de livered to the publisher, and on the following morning Mr. James T. Felds, the publisher, appeared at the author's door. When he was admitted, he caught the little boy of the family in bis arms and asked, "You splendid little fellow, do you know what a father you have?" He had sat up all night to read the manuscript and bad posted out to Salem in the early morning. After his interview with the publisher Haw thorne came down stairs with a firm step and walked about, bis face Illu mined by new hope and vigor. The world bad found him out.

THE CENSUS OF 1790. raited State* Population Then Was Lea* Than 4,000,000. When the first census of the United States was taken in 1790, 'there were 16 states nnd the southwest and north* west territories. The returns fixed the population at 3,029,214, while those of 1000 give ov«r 70,000,000, a fourteen* fold growth la 110 years. In the first census nothing was sought but the number of Inhabitants, and the task was assigned to United States mnrshals, who performed the work for several censuses. In the cen sus library is n record of the first cen sus, which shows that the census of 1790 was ordered In March and com pleted by October, 1791, a very credita ble showing wben the difficulty of com munication is considered. The popular tion 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 16 years, other persons, slaves. Fourteen enumeration districts were mapped out of the 16 states and the population of the towns, counties nnd states given. All of the states except Maine and Massachusetts had slaves. Virginia led with a popu lation of 747,610 whites and 292,000 slaves. North Carolina was second, with 393,751 whites and 100,000 slaves. Maryland bad a population of 422,756, of which 103,036 were slaves. The slave population of the northern states is given as follows: New Hampshire, 158; Rhode Island, 948; Connecticut, 2,764; New York, 21, 324; New Jersey, 11,423; Pennsylvania, 3,237; Delaware, 8,887; 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 tion and addition, but Is Interesting in showing how the population has In creased and how the art of census tak ing has developed with the population. —Baltimore Sun. A BOY AND A RIFLE. And the Trtclc the Father Played to Make the YcAnffster Careful. Exact statistics on the subject are lacking, but it Is certain that the man who "didn't know It was loaded" kills and malms annually a great many per- i sons. The only safe rule with a 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- j perience, and where a gun is concerned ! that often entails an awful price. Bearing this in mind a veteran : sportsman of this city adopted a unique method of Impressing this les son on bis son. This is how be told i the story: i "I want my son to be a sportsman, ' so that when be gets to be as old as i his father he may have as many ' pleasant memories to look back to. . ! Therefore, on bis sixteenth birthday I , gave him a rifle. And instead of read- j ing him a long lecture on the necessity of handling the weapon carefully, I put up a job on him that would be far more effective. After be had spent a couple of hours fondling it and cleaning it and examining the mechanism, after the manner of healthy boys, I contriv ed unknown to him to slip a blank i cartridge into the breach. "Then I called him out Into the yard and holding my hat in front of me, ask ed him to show me how be would take aim at it. There was an explosion, and 1:2 fell in a dead faint. You may think it mean of me, but I allowed him to tblnk that only the badness of his aim or some intervention of Providence saved me from death. The lesson lie learned will last him through life, be cause a terrible fright accompanied it. : Some day when he gets old enough to have a boy of his own, I shall tell him of the trick I played ou him."— New York Herald. j It font*.

Burns of 505 Hiawatha j 3treet, Indianapolis, Ind., is living evi- j donee of the wonderful powers of Dr. i Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, i the remedy that cures where all others fail. For years she endured all the ; tortures of indigestion, nervousness and female weakness, a complication of troubles that five physicians con- fessed their inability to cure. Her i story is well worth the attention of {every woman. She says: "My illness commenced after my j first child was born. I was so weak and nervous that it seemed I would i never got strong. For twelve years I doctored for female trouble, compli- cated with neryousness and indiges- tion. My stomach was so weak that for days at a time I could eat nothing but bread and milk. I was also trou- bled with palpitation of the heart and was often eo miserable that I could not lie down. Five doctors prescribed for me and I took many kinds of medicine without being benefited. One day I saw Dr. Williams' Pink Pills adver- tised in the papers and I decided to give them a trial. I did ao and had not finished taking the first box when I knew that I was getting better. "You can imagine the relief I felt when I found that after years of suf- fering I was being cured. I continued taking the pills and the female trouble entirely disappeared. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People did more for me than it was claimed they would do. Since I first took the pills I have not needed a doctor nor any other medi- cine; they have restored my health, strength and happiness. MRS. MARY K. HURNS.
