ANGERED BY QUESTIONS

The young man Is one of the many who
are engaged just now in taking the school
census. He lives away out on the south
side and every morning hustles off to a
district of the southwest somewhere In
the vicinity of Halsted and Sixtietn
streets. In himself he is very mild man
nered and amiable looking, but 1t must
be the big book he is obliged to carry
with him that makes him look SO formid-
able. People evidently take him at first
for some sort of police or quarantine or
tax official, and it is sometimes hard
work to effect an entrance or even gain
a hearing.
The locality he is working is filled with
foreigners, though there are numerous
Americans scattered among them. The
series of questions required in the taking
Of the census is varied and rather odd.
The young man tells how he went into a
secluded domicile one day last week and
met good-looking woman with group
of growing boys about her. The children
were all lively and healthy and intelligent
looking; anything but red tape would
have passed upon them as sound in wind
and limb and everything else. After the
usual Introductory explanation and the
taking of names and ages the mother be-
gan to inspect tho book for herself. She
was very proud her name dittoed under
American" and said so. Then sheeped
question that asked the color of the
father and her eyes snapped.
Nov, what an idiotic question that is!
Just as though people can't see for them
selves that the father of these boys is
white. Do they look like negroes"
"Oh, no, no." apologized the young
man, hastily. You see, had that all
filled in already; of course l didn't ask
that-I saw for myself"
She was Modified temporarily. But
she still scanned the book.
"Now, look here! Do those boys look
as though they're deaf or dumb or blind
paralyzed, insane, or afflicted with any
incurable disease? Those questions are
insulting, sir positively insulting"
But, madam" interposed the young
man, his hair beginning to rise, I'm sure
no offense is intended the board requires
the information merely; it does not i'm
ply that any such things ext
Yes, yes, that's all very WELL but the
boards too inquisitive, particularly
when it could see for itself that there
aren't three handsomer boys in all Chi
