TAKING THE CENSUS.
Some Idea Of the Work Which Mr. Robert r
Porter Will superintend.

Cleveland Leader: The reports Of
the tenth census were but recently lin

preparations are being made for the
next year. Now that a sulerintend-
ent has been nominated-Mr. Robert
l.. POrter-a clerical force will be or
ganized, II building rented for them to
labor in, and in short time an i'm
mense force OF men will be movingover
the entire country in the work OF gath
ering statistics. The schedules upon
which the census will he based are to
follow the general plan of those of ten
years ago, but very much modified in
their scope.
After everything is in running order
there will be 10000 enunherat ors
through the country. There were 30

10000 enuDIeratOrs there will he | . )

ago. Congress has appropriated for
the work 81, 400, 900, which is tocover
the entire census. Only $1,000, 900
were appropriated ten years ago, but
since then liberal means have been
voted by congress 10 continue and com
plete the work, the original 81, 900, 900
being found inadequate.
There were employed i'm the main

the same number will be needed forthe
work, but they will not he emploved

that much less is to be attempted

As Hank Cusker, the famous broncho
breaker, and James McNaney, cow
boys in the employ OF the Nm outfit,
were driving a bunch of horses from
the head OF Big Dry to the roundup,
they encountered four grizzly bears on

make it as interestingf for the quartette
as possible, and instantly gave chase,
armed with their lariats only. After

two of the ferocious beasts, and pro-
ceeded to Use their skill as rope throw

their respective acts simultaneously
and with precision, one catching his
bear around the neck and the other

strangling condition, and with his
usual courage proceeded to tie him as
he would haze done with a steer or
broncho. and he eventually succeeded
in his intended purpose. In the mean
time McNaney was doing his best to
interest his charge, and no doubt he
did so. After making sure OF his vic

services were welcome, as the bear, be-

troll OF his lung power and was making
day hideous by his enraged cries.
Cusker then undertook to do he tying

bold after the experience with the
