The Census Man Is Coming; Lots of Questions Asked.

The man with the book under his arm and the rapid-fire questions—the census man —is scheduled to make his decennial appearance in Indiana on April 15 to take an imprint of the family record back to Washington. No man, or woman, either, for the matter of that will be allowed to escape the interrogatories of the census taker, and it will do no good for the heads of households to shy at personal questions put by the government’s agent, who collects valuable data for the national archives. The information concerning the population and condition of employment and servitude has not been gathered for ten years, nnd the machinery for its garnering is now in the process of n/aking.

After collecting the customary routine of information, such as the name, age, sex, color or whether married or singje, the enumerator will be required to go into the personal details in the quest for data. The person who gives the information is required also to tell the enumerator the year of his or her immigration to this country if foreign born, and whether they are able to read and write the English language. They are also required to tell the trade or jfrofession or particular kind of work in which they and the other members of the family are engaged. It is also necessary for the enumerator to determine how many weeks every one in his district has been out of work during the year 1909. The question as to who are survivors of the Union or the Confederate armies or navies is also on the schedule. The information desired concerning the condition Of crops on Indiana farms is somewhat more extensive and the method by which this data is collected is more complicated. The enumerator is given thirty days to collect the data in the country districts, while in the cities and towns but two weeks are required.

William S. Spohn, father-in-law of Prof. R. A. Craig, veterinarian at Purdue university, fell dead Saturday In a hardware store at Lafayette, where he was purchasing the material for a Christmas toy for his grandchild. Spohn was sixty-six years old. The Rumley company, of Laporte, is planning to begin the operation of Its new plant, erected at a cost of $250,000, about the first of January.

THE IMAGINATIVE PIPER.

By His Secretivenese Placed His Ma*ter in an Awkward Position. A certain duke was dining in full kilt dress at a highland anniversary dinner, his piper standing behind his chair. At dessert a very handsome and valuably snuff-box belonging tc one of the guests was handed round. When the time came to return it to Its owner the snuff-box could not be fo.und anywhere. A search was made but with no results, the duke being especially anxious about it. On the next anniversary he again donned the' kilt —which he had not worn in the interval—for the annual dinner. As he was dressing he happened to put his hand in his sporran, and there, to his astonishment, found the box which had been lost at the /last year’s dinner. He sent for his piper, and said; “Why, this is the snuff-box we were looking for. Did you not see me put it away in my sporran’’ “Yes, your grace.” » “Then why did you not tell me?” demanded the duke. “Because I thought your grace required the little matter kept quiet,” responded the piper, with a knowing wink.—lllustrated Bits.

No Place for Strangers.

J. Edward Addlcks was condemning a certain politician. “The man has no experience,” ha said, “and he has not sense enough to conceal his lack of experience. He reminds me of an incident that took place in a? barber shop the other day: “In this quiet, busy shop a man who was getting shaved suddenly uttered a loud oath. “Hang you!” he exclaimed, “You’ve cut my chin twice now. If you can’t shave better than this, every regular customer will leave you.” “But the young barber pushed the man’s head back on the velvet rest, and laughed. 'Oh, no,’ he said. 'No fear of that I’m not allowed to shave regular customers yet. I only shave strangers.’ ”

Wisdom of the Empircist.

Most people entertain the delusion that their opinions are arguments. .They do not bolster “I think” with “because.” Heaven gives us our relatives, but in compensation allows us to choose our friends. The trouble with proverbs is that you have to make the whole calendar of mistakes before you can understand them. No man can' make a million dollars out of his own labor.. He must buy the labor of others and sell it at a profit. Would you rather be right than prosperous? —St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

The Reason Why.

First Cat—Why does your mistress always tie a red ribbon on you? Second Cat —I don’t know, unless red goes well with my brunette complexion.

Flattery Pays.

“You will become the wife of a famous man,” says the fortune teller. “But I don’t want to be the wife of a notable, and be unheard of all I—e time for that reason.” "Ah, miss,” explains the soothsayer, “your husband will be famous only because he has such, a beautiful wife.” With a pretty smile of deprecation the damsel inadvertently pays the fortune teller twice his usual fee.— Exchange.

Nearly Akin.

Not.being able to find an appropriate likeness of his satanic majesty, an old colored parson tore u picture of a racing automobile from a newspaper and held it before his congregation. “It de same thing.” he explained, “dis heah thing makes es much noise es old ‘ Nick, doos es much damage an’ eben hes a born sticking out in front.”

True to Life.

“Gracious!” exclaimed the shocked old lady as she adjusted her spectacles. "If you big boys don’t stop pummellug that little lad he will have to go to the hospital. I hope you don’t call that playing soldier?” "We ain’t playing soldier," retorted the tough boy in the green sweater. “We’re playing naval cadets.” — Chicago News.

Close Enough.

They were sitting in the parlor of the pretty little cottage. “Darling," he whispered, ardently, “we are rolling onward in the Car of love.” “Yes, dear," she whispered, nestling on his broad shoulder, “and we don’t need any ttoaductor to say 'Sit closer, please.* " —Tit-Bits. Mother (who is teaching her atdld the alphabet)—Now, dearie, what comes after g? The Child—Whlxx.—Jud gw

The Clay county commissioners have allowed twenty claims of gravel road contractors, which aggregated mori than $12,000. These claims have been pending since the supreme court held the three-mile law unconstitutional.
