Our PcpaUMon 84,233,069. The Census Bureau has just is sued a report announcing that the opulntion of the entire Uni ted States, including all outlying possessions, was 84,233,009 in the census year lP-OO. This is item ized as follows: Continental United States, or United States proper, 75,994,575 (heretofore announced); Philip pines, G, 9(51, 339 beiug the esti mate of the statistician to the Philippine Commission; Porto Rico, 953,243; Hawaii, 154,001; Alaska, 03,592; Guam 9,000; Amer icaa Samoa, 0,100; persons in the military' and naval service of the United States outside of the ter ritory of the United States pro per, 91,219. These figures are based on the enumeration of June 1, 1900. The report says: "The total pop ulation of the United States at the close of the nineteenth cen tury was but 84 and a quarter million. As the population of the United States at the beginning of the century was about live and a third million, the nation has grown nearly sixteen-fold in one hundred years. "There are but three countries which dow have a greater popula tion than the United States, viz.: China, the British Empire and the Russian Empire. China and the British Empire have each of them probably between 350,000, 000 and 400,000,000 or together nearly one half of the total popu lation of the earth. The Russian empire with about 131,000,000 people, has more than half as many again as the United States. France, including its dependen cies, is the fourth country of the world in order of population and has about eighty -three and two third million, or almost tho same number as in the United States." In Eed Four Weeks With La Grippe. We have received the following letter from Mr. Roy Kemp, of Angola, Ind., "I was in bed four weeks with la grippe and I tried many remedies and spent consid erable for treatment with physi cians, but I received no relief un til I tried Foley's Lloney and Tar. Two small bottles of this medi cine cured me and I now use it exclusively in my family." Take no substitutes. All dealers. Prayer and Promise. Tins psalm of Moses, supposed to have been written concerning the awful consumption of human life during the forty-years' jour ney in tho wilderness closes with u'.i inspired prayer as a compen sation for ali this affliction, lie pleads that for every day of sor row, and every pang of grief tin-re may be a corresponding and abundant recompense. And so it will be for us all if we walk in piitiouce and hope. We have only to take God's way. We have only to accept his afflictions as needful fur our good. We need only to trust in his fatherhood and providential goodness, and all will bo well. The Red Seas will open. The bitter waters will grow sweet. The black cloud will break in blessing on our heads. Thousands Sent Into Exile.

The first dose brings re lief. Astounding cures result from persistent use. Trial bottle free at W. S. Dickson's. Price 50c and 1,00. Every bottle guaranteed. Character and Environment. One of tho most popular falla cies of our day is that character is the product of environment; that if you put people into the right surroundings, they will be right eous. The entire drift of the New ' Testament is against this theory. Its teaching is that the right soul ,i i i i uwjs ur more to exenange exter nal conditions than tha right ex ternal conditions do to change the soul. No sensible man overlooks the influence of circumstances upon character, bnt ho sees that, how ever influential they may be, they are not finally determinative. It is upon that fact that the Chris tian theory of how human life and society are to be purified and en nobled rests. Christianity makes its primary appeal to the human consieuco; it brings a message to the intelligent personality; it aims to reconstruct life and society and institution by trans forming the personal, conscious life of the individual. Just in proportion as it does this it suc ceeds, and ju3t in proportion as it leaves the citadel of the human personality defiant to divine influ ence, it fails. Let us do everything that we can toward ameliorating the ex ternal conditions of human life, but the moment the Church sub stitutes service to the external re quirement of man for her dis tinctively spiritual ministry she misses the essential feature of her vocation; she fails to avail her self of her principal resource. Not only is God a spirit, man is a spirit. Not only must they who worship God worship Him in spirit and truth, but they who serve man must serve him in spirit and in truth. The Watch man. A Profitable Investment. "I was troubled for about sev en years with my stomach and in bed half my time," says E. Dem ick, Somerville, Ind. "I spent about 1,000 and never could get anything to help me until I tried Kodol Dyspepsia Cure. I have taken a few bottles and am entire ly well." You don't live by what you eat, but by what you digest and assimilate. If your stomach doesn't digest your food you are really starving. Kodol Dyspep sia Cure does the stomach's work by digesting the food. You don't have to diet. Eat all you want. Kodol Dyspepsia Cure cures all stomach troubles. The fellows who poke their legs under other people's tables in Washington and drink other people's wines until all the rest of their anatomy goes under the tables, are raising a big hub-bub because Mrs. Shaw, the wife of the new Secretary of the Treas ury, is a radical temperance wo man.

SITE FOR THE MEMORIAL. Where the People's Monument to Wm. McKlnley Will Rise. BEAUTIFUL WESTLAWN AT CANTON, OHIO. Natural Mound upora which the Memorial will b Erected. Scenes of To-day. Canton, Ohio, Jan. 13. Tho mound whore the body of William McKinley will eventually lie and above which will be reared the memorial of tho people of the United States, is in tho farthest section of Westlawn Cemetery. Without question it is the most beautiful spot there. Senator Charles W. Fairbanks, of Indiana, one of the trustees of tho McKin ley National Memorial Associa tion, which is raising the funds for the memorial tomb, said, when he first beheld it that it was "the finest spot out of doors in all the world." Tho mound rises iu a gentlo slope about seventy-five feet from tho little stream that lies at its feet and curves in a similar graceful sweep to the east. A carriage road lies at its base at the edge of the water and another one mounts the hill and circles it at the back. It is pur posed to nso about five acres of the mound its very best part, in fact which will give ample room for the stately tomb that will be erected and for tho spread of greensward to relieve and soften it. Lying there William McKinley can look with a spiritual eye upon the town of Cantou whose chief glory he was; he can see from the eyrie of his monument tho home where ho was so happy and within whose stricken wall rests his devoted widow. And as he turns his gaze over the cemetery it will light on the graceful little marble figure a rosy boy with a basket of flowers that keeps watch and ward over the tiny graves of his two children at its feet. . There is a long stretch of years between those littleraouuds and the great one that looks down upon them, but iu all the time that elapsed from the day that ho first turned and left his babies iu their graves to the glad one when he lay in the same cemetery be side them, William McKinley's heart was ever aching for those little girls. It was the greatest sorrow that ever entered into his life, and no glory that ever came thereafter lulled it in to sleep. It is only another example of how destiny works for him aftor death as it did in life, that their graves are to lie thero hereafter in the protection of his mighty tomb whose shadow willcastabonedic tion upon them. Back of these pathetic little graves lie those of his father and mother and sister. Between them a link in death as in life William McKinley would have re posed himself had not the love and the honor of the nation willod otherwise. Only simple head stones rise above them, charac teristic in this very simplicity of tho strong, unpretentious na tures that lie beneath them. "William McKinley 1801-1892." "N. A. McKinley, 1809-1897." Ho owed much to them, these sturdy, God-fearing parents, did William McKinley, and ho could have raised a towering monument above them. Buthooboyod the wish of their cold, white lips as ho had tho ruddy ones of life, and bestowed them for thirlong last sleep with all lived ns well. Uutil tho memorial tomb is built, the body of William McKinley will lie in the public receiving vault, where it was placed on September 18th, the day of the funeral. The massive coffin rests as it was placed there last Sep tember, encircled by the folds of the Stars and Stripes. This vaults is a simply but effective bit of mortuary architecture. It was a gift to Westlawn Cemetery a number of years ago by Mrs. Frank Mason Werts of Canton, in honor of her husband. It is of Romanesque design, constructed of rock-faced and dressed Mas silon sandstone at a cost of $5,000 and is built into the hillside.---Night and day it is guavded by a detail of United States soldiers, forty five in number. These soldiers find their princi pal occupation iu warding off relic-hunters. Every day and all hours of the day, there is a stream j of visitors at the vault. So strong is their desire for a remembrance a faded flower, a bit of ribbon, even a spear of grass that the utmost precaution must bo taken to thwart them. A. sentry keeps watch at the door of the vault, while other soldiors walk beats at the top aud sides of the hill. So wearing is this duty, especial ly in the still watches of the night when even tho bravest feel a shad ow of fear iu a gruesome ceme tery, that the hours of service are cut down to the smallest lim it and each man gets three days off each week. To counteract the monotony of this existence the men are drilled twice a day, aud it is somewhat of an incon gruity to hear the brazen note of the trumpet iu a cemetery calling out the commauds aud to see tho livclv maueuvers of tho men. Westlawn Cemetery is practi cally on the outskirts of Canton, though an active man or an athlet ic girl of the day could walk it in twenty minutes. tsnould one care to ride, the electric car takes him within five minutes of tho gates, and when tho memorial tomb is built and tho national hegira begins, thero will be aliue to the cemetery itself. While not a show cemetery in any sense of tho word its un pretentiuusnoss would militate against that Westlawn is one of simple, appealing beauty 'and a quiet but deiiuite charm. About it is an intangible sense of spirit uality altogether missing from those grand cemeteries that de mand admiration, and it touches the gentler emotions liko the dis tant sound of sweet-toned church bells. Westlawn is a fine bit of rolling country, comprising some sixty live acres of well-diversified ground. Nature has done much for it, aud, iu tho main, nature has been let wisely alone. Where art has stopped in, it has been to complement, not to contradict, as is vo often the case. Its hills and valleys retain their first cur vings and are still covered with their native oaks, some of giant size and all impressive with the dignity of age and fitness. These are set off, here and there, by other indigenous trees, so judi ciously planted that the charm of a primitive landscape is never do parted from. A beautiful little stream that widens into two tiny hikes, framed witli tall trees and mirroring the beauties about tnem, winds lazily through the cemetery with no set purpose in view until it is forced into. the picturesque activity of a waterfall This stream is spanned at sever al places by rustic stone bridges, which afford admirable points to view tho landscape. Everywhere tho eyes rest aro scenes of quiet beauty, aud within its compara tively scaut acreage there is far greater diversity that mauy a more pretentious cemetery could present. This nation holds the wishes of the dead iu reverence and is ea ger to fulfill them, so there was no dissentient voice that William McKinley should prefer to lie iu the quiet of his home town rath er than in tho greater publicity of a big city. Rather, it saw in it only one more manifestation to add to the thousands it already knew, of the innate simplicity and sentiment of tho man that pomp and vainglory could not de stroy. Aud it houored him even more iu death than in life, be cause he was true to himself and his ideals. The character and size of the memorial tomb cannot bo deter mined, of course, uutil all tho money has been collected. It will however, be architecturally wor thy tho great dead it honors and the still greater nation that hon ors him. It will typify the strength and grandeur of both, it will teach, with tho enduring elo quence of stone, tho lesson of good citzenship aud stalwart Americanism he lived and preach ed, aud it will show to all the countries of the earth how well this nation loves a man who loved it.
