unny things are constantly cropping
out that are fully as ludicrous, il no
more SO, than those already told A
gentleman recently connected with til,
ensus Bureau Inns given some Of thes,

One kind hearted enumerator in
indiana, with delicacy worthy OF EN-
alation, describes lady in his district
os being "deformed in right eye. Every
one has heard coarse and ribald remarks
about eyes whose axis Of vision was
ohliqued. but the man from the hool
pole section struck a new style
Another Indiana man mentioned a
considerable number Of persons in his
returns as Disabled by rum, OF
partially disabled by rum. That par.
alyzed the clerks until shrewd one de.
cided that the enumerator reported
rum as an abbreviation Of rheumat.
ism and correspondence proved he was
right
From Illinois man is reported as
deaf in his ears. The official was
probably tlus particular for fear that
the superintendent might think the
deafness WAS in the shoulders or knee
joiuts
Referring to the @deformity in right
eve, many schedules returned reported
persons afflicted with "crippled speech
or Speech deformed.
A citizen OF Arkansas raised such a
serious row with an enumerator that
the case was duly reported The citizen
insisted that he should be reported on
the schednle rs disabled; loss of arms, "
because some son of hoss pistol stole
my revolver and bowie when / was
full. Not so reported
innocent Wolf" was found to be the
head of family at Atchison, Kan,
Indian, Of course, and very appropri-
ately named.
There are some very queer names
found in the schedules, and hear are
few specimens: Mr. Coldmorning, of
indiana, is naturally reported as having
chronic rheumatism. Lizzie Openlock
is not "a burglar but is rheumatic Miss
Canine, lives at Crawfordsville. John
Mussulman, of Kansas, is not Aloham-
medan, as the name would apply. David
Bonecutter is not surgeon, but a
Kansas former Mary Taught is prop
erly a Texas schoolmarm.
Loves Level is in North Carolina and
was enumerated by I. L. Love, but
