MAKE IT EASY FOR THE CENSUS MAN.
The taking of the thirteenth ycensus of the United States began Thursday. Ten years ago the population ofthe country was 76,303,387. Director of the Census Durand feels certain it isiow at least 90,000,000, and there are more optimistic people who believe the figures Will show there are 100,000,000
people.
There are people in Lake county,f Just as there are in other places, who think that the census man is a bore. ;Theytreat him like they would treat

jet angry at him if he asks you if you are a JJap.
The purpose of the census was ; originally to determine the number of representatives in congress to whicheach stata was entitlell. It has greatly broadened since that day, and there are now ' more than twenty questions asked, the answers to which in the aggregate, constitute a history of the
people's progress during the decade. It is especially provided that no true answer may be used to cause the giver trouble of any sort; and it is ant offense under the law to give false Information. - So do not treat the poor enumerator with scorn and contumely. Give him his chance, and remember that every person in Lake county who cares anything about the county, should be interested in doing all he can to help the work of the census. Let us make the, best possible showing to Uncle Sam we can. There is" a reward for us if you do. It would be well for every head of a family and his adult relatives to understand a few things about this work. The enumerators will each wear
RANDOM THIN OS AND FUNGS
earttoMeaft Talks. By EDWIN A. NYE.
Daughter of George J. Gould Brick of a Drexel; Photograph Taken in Bridal Gown and Veil
UNDER A COFFIN LID. Have you read Hall Caine's story
of "The Prodigal Son?" ! Briefly it is this: The hero places his j musical composition in the coffin of his dei d wife. The act was one of j
contrition, for he bad badly treated his wife. A few years passed, and he forgot his remorse. In order to support a wanton woman he dug up the coffin, got the manuscript and sold it for money. The story is founded on the real life st,ory of Rossetti, the poet-painter. Rossetti married a beautiful young girl whom he sadly neglected. She died some say by her own hand and Rossetti was stricken by remorse. Just before the coffin lid was closed he took the manuscript of his poems and placed it between th9 cheek and hair of his child wife. Time passed. Rossettl's friends Morris and Swinburne attained distinction, ' and the former himself began to hanker fo;
fame. But his best work was buried
In the girl wife's grave. At the urgent
request of his friends Rossetti disinterred the body of Ills wife, recovered the manuscript and published the poems. And he won Instant fame as
a poet. Truth Is indeed stranger than fiction. But The story of penitence swallowed tip by ambition or rust does it not illustrate the weakness of the human spirit? Many a man has buried his most precious treasures in the coffin of his wife or mother or child or friendonly to dig them up again. It is but natural. Things that were pleasant to us when she or he had lived are hateful to tta in the presence of death. In the awful shadow of the miracle we make renunciation, and register our vows. Time passes. The keen remorse Is dulled by the
passing of the years. Sometimes In our better moments the reproachful faces of the dead are before us. Lest
we forget, their memory chastens and their voices speak to us. But other voices speak ambition, fierce desire, a new face or form of beauty.
It Is better so. - We are not traitors to the dead. The
poignancy of sorrow cannot always
last. And the dead would not have it so, perhaps, not even If they could. Anyway It Is the way of the ions of men to bury many precious things under a coffin lid and then dig up the coffin.

EVENINGS AT HOME. When the day's work is done, with its trouble and care, with a little
of joy and a lot of despair, then's It's pleasant to go to your children and wife, and show them the latest In wrangling strife. If you're mean as get out, then you'll find It a joy, to wear out your grouch en your wife or the
boy, to snarl and to grumble, and rear up and whine, and show that you're boss of your figtree and vine. In thousands of homes there are tyrants who
roar till the carpets curl up on the sitting room floor, and thousands of
women are waiting with dread for the home-coming hub and his masterful
tread; and thousands of children turn pallid with fear, when they know that the neighborhood Bluebeard is near. The tyrant who bosses a woman around, and scares all the kids' with lion-like sound, would take to the brush
If a large, healthy man expressed an ambition to fracture his can. And the meanest excuse that a tyrant can give for making his people regret that they
live, is the time-worn excuse that his office affairs have ruined his nerves
with their burden of cares; he ought to go home as a groom to his bride, and let his old office and all its grief slide. WALT MASON.
