The Sympnthetic Doll.

MY dolly isn't a plaything," said a
certain little girl, Indignantly: "she's
real folks!" And the New York
Times tells of two children who
planned to possess dolls that were
just as much alive. Often, as in this
case, the children saved their own
pennies to buy things they desired,
and when the articles were bought
appreciated them correspondingly.
They wanted these dolls very much,
and, although they were only little
ten-cent bisque dolls, the directions
given for the purchase were partic-
uiar: "Now, papa said one, don't
just buy any doll you zee. Take it
up and look it right in the eyes, and
if it looks as if it loved you, then
you can buy it."-Youth's Compan-

Census Work.

Taking of the 1900 census will be-
gin June first. Hand countyis div
ided into nine districts with one
enumeration for each district. The
report this year will be more elabo-
rate than ever before. and when COM
plete the government will have a
full official report OF about every
thing concerning the people OF the
United Statee. An examination OF
the papers OF w. III. White, enumer-
ator for the Miller district shows the
following questions to be answ cred,
all with careful details. 1t may be
stated here that every man will be
asked these questions, and it would
be advisable for eyeryb ody to give
some thought to them before the
enumeration calls, SO taat they may
be quickly and correctly ans wered.

In addition to this product we
have she increase in butter ship
ments, and OF wool, which follow the
stock business. Ten. years ago there
was very little wool or butter ship
ped from here. Last year there was
about $4,000 worth of butter and
about 81, 500 worth OF wool also
shipped. In other words, we have
today revenue OF about one third
OF million of dollars yearly, where
ten years ago there was none.
Most OF the stock has been raised
here, but the demand exceeded the
local supply in 1889, and in 1898
there were Sc cars shipped in, and
in 1899 there were 53 cars received
at Miller. Prior to that practically
none were shipped in.

Growth of Stock Business.

Nearly all citizens OF Hand County
can recall the time very few wears
ago when car load of stock was a
curiosity. Today it is a common
thing to see a train load going or
coming from Miller. But few realize
how rapidly this business has grown,
and how it has changed conditions
here.
Ten years ago, in 1890, there was
absolutely no such product in Hand
county. Today Hand County stoc k
is shipped from Miller, Rec Heights,
st. Lawrence, Washington, Orient,
Rockham, Miranda, Zell, and even
Redfield. Just what the shipments
have been at these various points
we are unable to give, but compar-
atiye table of Miller's shipments will
give good idea OF the growth OF
this business. The stock consists OF
mainly cattle, but includes some
sheep, horses and hogs.
