The officers in this part of the state have been on the lookout for him for about two weeks. His name is Joe SpiciM and he is wanted in Chicago for stealing a large amount of copper line wire from the American Tele phone Company.

The people are to be counted at their pluses of residence, but as many personk and families wjil be away from their homes during June there is some danger that six'll persons will not lie counted. Ts they are not counted, the locality in which they ; live will be misrepresented to that extent. and in some cases this misrepresentation in congress of the state from which they coma. Local pride and state pride, therefore should influence all such absentees to rAsonable precaußons againsF bsing omitted from enumeration in their places of residence. Such omissions are most likely to occur in the large cities whore families dose their homes and go elsewhere for the summer. .JJlie oecurrence of the Paris exposition this is likely to increase the number absent from the country. In all cases of contemplated absence the head of the family is requested by the ciffisus office to communicate with the supervisor of the district in which he lives. He is also requested to leave informa tion regarding his answers to the questions which are to be asked with some responsible neighbor who will agree to see that it reaches the enumerator on his rounds. !Bueh information might lietterbe left as a memorandum in writing, as in that case i> is most likely not to lie overlooked.

They are lieing published from time to time in the press of the country. By taking this trouble the absent citizen will do justice to his locality mid his state, and materially aid the census office in the performance of its duties. • >

The Tale of a Cake. An east end cur was loaded dowu with shoppers, mostly women, for it wassu tli<*miiddle of the afternoon. Conversation was proceeding at a great rate. Lt like a pink txt or a session of the sewing circle. *But all at once a hush fell over the fair chatterers. A-iiegvo lad entered, bearing in his arms an immense cake three or four decks high and frosted over from piflHo dome, as they '•ay of a theater. There was a profusion of flowers by way of decoration, and delicate traceries of gauzy lace completed the embellishinetots. The cake was so large that the negro eould scarcely The cake told the whole story of the wedding, the bridesmaids, the orange flowers, the flower girls and the banquet afterward. Every feminine ’leait in that street car was a-flutter as its owner gazed speechlessly upon the evidence of a wedding to be. Finally, when the car stopped to let on another paswnger and everything was very still, ffne lady .Look courage to ask the negro where the wedding was going to be. "VViiut weddin?” asked the negro, his eyes protruding. “The wedding that cake is for.” “Dis ain’t no weddlji cake.” “No?” “No’m. Dis yere’s er cake walk eake.” Thqre was a smile that reached from one end of the car to the other, and very soon conversation was resumed as before.—Memphis Scimitar. It XVns Red nnd CoMtly, The most expensive dinner of modern times was given some years ago at the Savtiy hotel, London, by a millionaire who has since met with an tin timely end. It was known as the “red dinner” from the fact that almost everything In the dining room was red in color. All the floral decorations were red tile electric lamps wore red, the knives were specially made withered handles, the chairs were red. the carpet was red, the table napkins were red and even the waiters wore red ties. Tiie reason of this color predominating was that the millionaire had experienced a wonderful run of luck and had won a large sum of money through red turping up on th&rougext noir table at Monte I'arlo. The winning figure was nine, and this figure was also in evidence at the dinner. The menu card was unique. On the first page was a large red nine, and on the back pagu was a portrayal of the top of a rouge et noir gaming table. The menu itself, which was printed in re<J letters, consisted of 18 courses, all of the most expensive character. Forty guests sat down to the table, and the cost of this extraordinary dinner was over ?tij for each person.— Magazine. Can’t Leave Wall Street. Speaking of the fascination which Wall street exerts over those W ho have once entered its speculative arena, a newspaper mau said: •“In one of the largest commission brokerage establishments In Wail street at the noon Lour 1 found scores of brokers, both old and young, feverishly scanning the quotations 1 singled out a patriarchal looking broker, a pioneer on ’change. “ ‘Can a mau retire from Wall street?’ I asked him. “ ‘Nou bet be can,’ tlw old man replied. ‘when he's flat broke. That's the only kind of a man I've ever known to “retire'’ Wall street during an experience of nearly 40 years. Os course if he can raise a few dollars he'll be right back again. “ ‘Then there’s »he man who has cleaned up a neat little fortune on some clever deal and taken a solemn oath never to come near the “street” again. He always comes back. “‘I knew one man. however, who really did quit. He is the exception that proves the rule, but he never had courage to come down town farther than Fourteenth street. The magnet failed to touch him at that distance.”’ Gettlnic Rid nt Etiquette, Miss —- called at Cambridge cottage to take the princess’ directions on a parish matter and was astonished to find her In tl*‘ garden running round the flower beds as hard as she could go. “Why are you running so fast, princess?” .Miss ventured to inquire.
