A Neglected Duty.

Ministers officiating at weddings ought

mcnt for him, the people learning there
by that he is i'll other good business as
well as preaching.
Ministers could 80 farther than writ
ing out the mere stereotyped notice in
instances where the occasion is signalized
by attendance of friends, enjoyment of Il
feast of good things, etc He could
please the families concerned by elabora-
ting an account of the happy occasion
Frostburg had minister not long ago
who invariably did this. In other words,
he reckoned that ''as the paper is not
here represented, will put myself in
its place and thereby add to the salts
faction of all concerned by making some
report of the affair."
These observations generally apply to
all Frostburg divincs, those i'll the first

Martha Washington at Valley Forge
The part which Martha Washington
played ut Valley Forge has, indeed, sell
dom received the credit which it de-
serves as an example of the virtues o.
the women of the revolution. No sol
dier's wife was more faithful to he,
husband in the midst of his perils ano
hardships than supplemented Martha
Washington, one of the richest womer
of the colonies. She visited the sick
and suffering in their huts; she braved
the dangers of the smallpox; she patch
ed trousers, knitted socks and made
shirts for the men, and his "deal
Patsy" as the big general used to cal
his plump and pleasant little wife, kept
the ladies of the camp busy, when they
called on her at the stone house, sew
ing for the soldiers.-William Perrine

Could Have Shoe Washington.

Could Have Shoe Washington.
ut was once in my power to have
shot General Washington, said a
British soldier to an American as they
were discussing the events of the great
struggle after the concluding of peace.
"Why did you not shoot him then?'
asked the American. ''You ought to
have done so for the benefit of your
countrymen."
"The death of Washington would not
have been for their benefit" replied the
Englishman. "We depended upon him
to use our prisoners kindly, and we'd
sooner have shot an officer of our own. "

"Thus much" says the poet Aldrich
in the March Century, may be con.
coded to Herrick's verse; at its best it
has wings that carry it nearly as close
to heavens gates as any OF Shakspeare's
lark-like interludes. The brevity of
the poems and their uniform smooth.
ness sometimes produce the effect Of
monotony. The crowded richness OF
the line advises q desultory reading.
But one must 60 back to them again
and again. They bewitch the memory,
having once caught it, and insist ON
saying themselves over and over
Among the poets Of England the author
of 'Hesperides' remains, and is likely
to remain unique. As Shakespeare
stands alone in his vast domain, so
Herrick stands alone in his scanty plot
of ground.

TWELFTH CENSUS.
Duties and Requirements OF the 10000
Enumerators-Four Schedules
Instead Of Ten.

In the census building great room
10 now the scene of bustling activity,
the work OF preparing portfolios for
use by enumerators in the coming
count of the population being fairly
under way. These portfolios, OF whit
ish- brown pssteboard, hinged together
with black cloth, are 18 inches long
and 10 wide and tied with four sets oil
tape. The tape used is not that red
tape" which to the ordinary mind sig.
nifies circumlocution and delay. The
law requires speed in the census OF
1900 and common every day white cot
ton tape will fasten the schedule-filled
portfolios in their round from habita.
ton to habitation. For convenient, &C.
curate and rapid enumeration the Uni.
ted States has been divided into SOC
supervisors districts, and these in turn
into about $4,000 enumeration dis
tricts, or E. DIS. as they are called in
the census office. Each of the $4,000
enumerators is yet to be appointed, so
on the portfolios a blank space is left
for his name.
The last census found the unhappy
enumerator loaded down with from 10
to Is schedules, each having volumin.
GUS instructions, to master which re-
quired considerable mental ability and
power of memory. That census was
taken under law which required emu
merators to ask many obnoxious ques'
tions. The census act of 1900 happily
for all does not require these disagree
able queries.
Four schedules, not 10, cover emu
merator's inquiries in 1900; schedules
requiring information about popula'
ton, vital statistics, manufactures and
agriculture. In cities the enumeration
will seldom need the agricultural, OF
in the rural districts the manufacturing
schedule, so he will infrequently carry
more than three.
A general realization by American
citizens of their personal interest in a
successful prosecution of the canvass
by this white-tape army should arouse
sentiments of local interest and pride
in each enumeration district citizen
would concern themselves about tht
selection of their registrar and local
arbiter.
The white.tape army should be made
up of men of a high standard. They
should be quick, competent, courteous,
tactful and truthful.
