July. 1901.

Before this week ends the census
enumerator. the man or the woman
who is authorized by the United States
Government to find out all manner Of
things, will be abroad knocking at
doors in every town, village, hamlet
and lonesome country district in the
land. June is the date fixed upon
for the beginning of the immense
task of gathering all kinds of facts
from the S0,000,000 old and young Of
Uncle Sans children. Many of the
questions which made the work of the
1890 enumerators very difficult be-
cause of their disagreeable nature
have been eliminated from the list this
year. These are the facts you are re-
quired to give to the enumerator:
Your full name and relationship to
the head Of the family in which you
live; your color, sex. date of birth,
giving the month, year and age at last
birthday; whether single, married.
widowed or divorced; the number Of
your children, living and dead. You
must also give your place of birth
and the birthplacSe of your parents.
If not born in this country, you must
tell when you came here; also IL you
are a citizen. Your occupation, trade
or profession and the number of
months you are employed each year
must also be given: also how many
months you attended school, and If
you own or rent your home. One of
the particular aims of this census is
to gather complete immigration sta.
tiStics for the purpose of making up
new tables relative to the foreign-born
population. Supervisor Wilbur intends
to keep the name and addresses of his
enumerators secret until they have
completed their work because of the
efforts made to induce them to do can
vassing work. Various business con-
Germs are willing to pay the Govern
ment enumerators $4 day to offer
their wares in the homes they visit
for Government purposes. Many ig-
norant people would feel compelled
to purchase the goods, and to avoid
impositions of this kind upon the pub
lie the identity of the enumerators is
kept secret.

aside the life of society belle at the
very height of the season, took the
fastest train for New York that she
could take, and was not many hours
in getting to the bedside of her loving
mother. There for days and weeks
she stayed, looking after her patients
every want, and no sick one was ever
attended more carefully or tenderly.
No girl ever commanded so COM
pletely the homage of nation as did
Nellie Grant in the days before her
unhappy marriage to Captain Sartoris.
In temperament she had the rare gift
of sunshine, and that was why brave
General Grant was pleased to call her
Little Sunshine" as she sat upon his
knee in the big White House at Wash
lngton, night after night, when his
Presidential tolls were over. From all
the wide world over princes and poten.
tates came to clasp hands with Presi.
dent Grant, and to tell him what a
great man he was. OF course, they all
saw Nellie, and capitulated to her
smiles. 1t was the same with folks at
Washington, too, for Nellie had the
same smile for all. But wedding bells
brought sadness to the White House.
and sounded a knell for the laughter
Of Little Sunshine" Miss Nellie had
will of her own, the iron will inher-
tied from her soldier father-and none
the less unbending. She fell in love-
and not all the admonitions of her
father and mother and friends could
bring about disenchantment.
Algernon L. Sartoris was the son of
a rich Englishman who owned land in
Wisconsin. Both son and father came
to America in 1878. At that time Mel

rope, and they crossed the ocean on
the same steamer. The Presidents
daughter fell i'll love with the young
Englishman, and, strange as it may
seem, every one else who met Sartoris
dlsliked and distrusted him. His own
countrymen, even, who were attached
to the British Legation at Washington
had-nO good word to say of him. Gen
eral Grant suffered the cruelest mis-
giyings, and did his best to dissuade
his daughter from entering into matri.
mony. She was only nineteen, but she
was willful-very willful-and she
married the man of her choice. The
ceremony was performed in the East
Room of the White House, and Mr..
and Mrs. Sartoris went to live in Eng.
land.
Her life was far from happy. Sar-
toris was not what he should have
been. But the elder Sartoris treated
her as daughter. Three children
were born, two girls and a boy, and
the elder girl, Vivian, is the one who
has been nursing her mother in her
recent illness.
When the elder Sartoris died he left
this daughter $4,000 a year income,
and for a while she lived in London.
on Cadogan place, but later years
brought longing for the homeland,
and she returned to America some
years ago.
She asked Congress to restore her to
citizenship, and, unusual though the
request was, it was granted, and Mrs.
Sartoris says she will never again
claim England as her home.
Thus it has come about that fair Wv.
