they rush him almost into the water
and rescue him from the danger with
victorious shouts. Then they all solemn
ly warn him of the dangers and pitfalls
of the Moulin Rouge and cheer him some
more. Then they all Chamber up the
gangplank with him in order to watch
his face when he goes to his cabin and
finds that it has been ornately decorated
with carrots and turnips and spinach
and cabbages in place of the flowers af-
fected upon such occasions by persons
less light of spirit. When the vessel
pulls out of the pier they are all aligned
on the very edge of the dock, and the
roar they set up when their departing
classmate appears on the steamers rail
and makes faces at them browns all
other sounds Not infrequsntly they
throw their l-ats and their canes into
the water in the wake of the slowly
moving steamer, which renders it nee
essary for such enthusiasts to go across
the street when it is all over and pur-
chase atrocious headpieces of the long
shoremen's sort and wear the same until
they reach their rooms or district

The Last Man Aboard.

Few steamships pull out without just
barely picking up the man who is al
ways late. He comes down to the pier
in carriage, the horses drawing which
have been dashed to foam, and he
makes sprint for the gangplank that he
could never repeat In a contest for
stakes. He inevitably gets the laugh
from all hands on the boat and the pier.
Sometimes the man who Is always late
is just a little too late, and he stands
on the pier and begs the grinning Off
GERS to let him ABOARD. If he is sufficient
ly persuasive he is sometimes permitted
to jump into tug and move alongside
the craft for which he has ticket, but
as often as not he has to stand on the
dock and grind his teeth and humble
DARK things about the evil of procrasti-
nation.

Detectives and Prisoners.

1t is not often that one of the big In
ers pulls out without carrying some !e
spairing-looking chap who is brought TO
the ship before the arrival of the Dig
crowd, in charge of detective or two.
An English absconder, who is collared
in this country by an English detective
and escorted across the sea by the Scot
land Yard man, doesn't fare so well by
a long sight as the fugitive who is TAX
en- back to the scene of his crime by an
American detective. A young English
man, who was captured in San Francis
CO while back by a Scotland Yard
man, went out on an English liner the
other day. The detective who hal :,,In
in charge-a beefy, pompous, thick-heaa-
ed-looking fellow he was-didnt have
the good feeling to put his man aboard
the ship in advance of the arrival of the
big crowd of departing voyagers and
pier spectators, but he took the flushing
young embezZler-who looked like a
thoroughbred, even if he We're a thief
on to the pier when the crowd was at
it's greatest, with one of the captive's
wrists gyved to his own. There was no
occasion for this thing at all, for the
Scotland Yard man had his captive in
New York two days before the vessel
sailed, and the embeZzler could easily
have been taken aboard without any
publicity whatever. Publicity, however,
was just what the pompous English de-
tective wanted, but before he mad got
his man over the steamers gangplank he
achieved the sort that he did not want.
He was openly sneered at by about three
fourths of the people the pier voya-
gers and spectators alike. An American
detective, who makes a sea trip with a
prisoner, never does anything of this sort.
Many embezzlers have been collared in
the old country and brought to the
United States on steamships by Ameri-
can detectives without the other passen-
gers becoming aware until this side was
reached, that there was either a detect
i've or a prisoner on board

ing out to do his grand tour upon grad

season. ne Is generally accompanied to
the pier by a score or so of bis class
mates, who have been dining him unre-

a Serious Mater.

In singular contrast to this type is the
fussy husband and father, who darts
around the pier in a perspiration of fear
lest his family's baggage hasn't been
properly bestowed, runs back and forth
from the ship to the dock twenty times
In the course of half an hour, questions

hands with everybody he knows on the

The Experienced Traveller.

The finished, blase voyager, who strolls
down to the pier in morning suit,
swinging a walking stick, gets lot of
attention from the dock spectators. He
appears to think no more of trip across
the big water than the ordinary, worka-
day citizen does of ride on a ferry
boat He is in no hurry. He has had his
luggage installed on board the boat in
good season, and he doesn't step over
the gangplank until all hands not pas
sengers have been ordered ashore. He
spends his time walning around and
chatting with the folks he knows on the
pier who are down to see friends off,
A few minutes before the lines are to
be cast off he yawns behind his hand
shakes hands all around in weary sort
of way, and slowly climbs the gang
plank. 1t is all an old, old story to him,
and his whole manner is that of a man
who would prefer to be sitting in some
coy club corner, away from all the bus
tie and excitement that mark t.e de-
parture of an ocean liner
There are imitation blase men a-plen-
ty, but the chap VINO is able to exhibit
genuine yawns twenty minutes before
embarking on boat that is to take ILL.,,
over seas is the bona fide article, and
one cannot help but wonder in watching
him, If he really gets enough fun out of
life to make it all worth while.

A Great Oversight.

Through some dismal oversight, mis-
apprehension, or something, the New
York green goods men and bunco artists
and gold brick purveyors and confidence
virtuosi did not hear that the North
western farmers were in this neighbor-
hood until the tillers of the soil We're
all safely embarked the steamer and
the lamentations of the cheerful workers
over this golden opportunity lost have
been sorrowful to listen unto ever since.
The scenes and incidents on the pier
when one of the great liners is about
to depart are diverting that a lot of
persons who have little or no hope of
ever raising the price of a ride to the
other side themselves commonly go down
to the docks to partake of the general
air of excitement and to study more
or less enviously, the voyagers about to
embark. For several hours before the
departure of one of the big liners the
piers full of life, movement, fun;
enough, and pathos too. The
general types of ocean voyagers do not
vary from year to year

peka people who expected to see the Off
cial figures for 1900 very near the 40, 900
mark While Topeka's gain of 1900 is
not a large gain for ten years it repre-
sents a natural and permanent growth
and the people who have been counted
by the enumerators are not going to
leave the state in a week or a year
they are here to stay The ordinance
extending the limits of Topeka was
passed last winter 1t included THE
Strip" the Douthitt tract and other ad-
ditlonS that are as much a part of To-
peka as any other portion. The ordi-
nance was referred to Judge Hazen of
the district court who has not acted IN
on it and this has meant that there are
at least 1000 people who live in Topeka
ana are not counted in the population

belong to Topeka and they are not
counted as part of the population. The
figures should read Topeka population

The census in Topeka was taken by p
enumerators and the work occupied
about 80 days. The utmost care has
been taken to secure the name of every
man, woman and child in Topeka and
there are probably few who escaped
It was necessary in some instances to
go to a house three or four times be-
fore any one was found who could give
the desired Information but the pay of
the enumeratorS remained the same
they were allowed two cents and a half
per name no matter how much time
was spent in securing it.
A A. Robinson was one of the few
who escaped the enumerators entirely
and the names of his family were Sc
cured from the best sources at hand
The enumerator heard that Mr.. Robin
son was in Topeka and after he had
been al the house three or four times he
heard that he was at a hotel. He went
to the hotel only to see Mr.. Robinson
driving toward the depot in a carriage
He rushed to the depot but the Robin
son private car was just leaving the
yards on its way to Mexico. Mr. Robin
son is president of the Mexican Central

leo and Boston. The record of the Rob
inson family viii not be as complete as
that of most of the others.
The pay of the enumerators this year
has been small because the districts
were limited. Six men worked in the

the Fifth and one in the Sixth. The av-
erage compensation will be little more
than $50, though one or two who had

much as $780,
