Census Director Merriam's Problem.
The Three Wishes Pussy
Rang the Bell.

One OF the papers thus talks about a
test that man must undergo II he
wants place as census taker:
When Director Of the Census Mer-
Ram gets back to Minnesota, the folks
won't know him. He has degenerated
into a humOrist Listen TO what he
says about the applicants who tried TO
pass his examination for appointment
as enumeratorS:
"They cannot spell and they cannot
do ordinary arithmetic. Fifty per cent
fail. and they fail because they cannot
divide 100000 by 402S and get a cor
rect result. 1t is simply marvellous, the
lack Of education in these rudimentary
branches. Our public schools teach
botany and psychology and sewing and
holding. but apparently they do not
teach simple arithmetic and spelling.
In itself this is not very funny. The
humOr Of il does not strike one until
one begins to divide 100000 by 4,O2S
and get the correct answer Just why
a man whose duty is TO lie In the direc-
ton Of securing peoples names, ages.
complexious. size of feet, habits of life
and angle Of eyeslght should have to
know a correct answer to how many
times is 4.O2S into 10000 is not plain.
For the benefit Of those who may not
know what this is all about, 1t may be
said that there are rs many correct
answers to Director Merrlam's long dl-
vision problem as there are figures in
the Quotient, and. If a man had time,
he might evolve a quotlent a mile long.

Pussy Rang the Bell.

A big black tomcat In a Sioux City
Qa.) place Of business gives the girls in
the telephone central office a deal of
bother, much as children do, you know,
for be likes to turn the telephone crank
to hear the bell Jingle. OF course that
"calls" the patient girl at the other end
Of the wire. The cat is always ready
to sit on his hind legs. like a dog or do
a bit of gymnastic work on the back Of
a chair, for he is very unusual cat
One day he was licking the sawdust
from his sleek sides when his paw
struck the crank Of the telephone which
was beside him. He stopped and look
ed inquiringly at the crank and then
carefully. softly touched It again with
his paw and seemed immensely pleased
with the jingle. Now he has to be
scolded two or three times a day for
experimenting with It. AS soon as he
pushes the crank central calls up and
wants to know NUMBER The cats
friends have to answer, "Kittie rang
the phone" The phrase has thus be-
come a byword with the operators.
When there is a false alarm, they say,
at was Kittie who rang"

The Three Wishes.

On the way to fairyland IS the
wishing gate" 1t is queer old gate,
half way up a steep, lonely hill. at
whose feet lies a beautiful stream.
They say that when you are upon
this gate you may wish three times
and-get your wish. So one day, boy
who had just earned 3 cents by bring
ing In wood for a neighbor, climbed to
the topmost rail and said, Il wish l
could have a whole lot Of money.
And straightway a big potato bag
full Of money tumbled into his lap! 1t
was so BIG and came so suddenly that
Il made him fall forward. but as his
feet were caught between the rails, he
was still on the gate, though head
downward and with hands upon the
ground.
II wish" said he pettlshly that the
old money was at the bottom Of the
sea-
Down rolled the money bag, and
with a great splash, was gone forever!
"Oh, dear" said the boy. trying to
free himself. Il wish l could get away
from this old gate"
And Immediately the lower rail snap
ped and set his feet at liberty. and of
he ran to the wood pile as fast as his
legs could carry him.
