Ezry the tongue would take varnish
off the furniture.
AS a result of this treatment at
home, Ezry was inclined to spend
overmuch OF his time at the tavern.
He drank other things there besides
cold water. And when he would start
for home he was in that blissful condi-
ton where be didn't care whether
school kept or not. In that condition
he was in some measure prepared to
meet his gedtic chatelainc.
One night his wife sent her brother
out to "play ghost and scare the
drunkard into reform. The ghost was
expected to say in sepulchral tones
that unless Ezry reformed he would
be taken into hell for sure when he
passed over.
Ezry came up the road -at ross the
road, too-and he was trolling one of
the lusty old songs of Revolutionary
days. He was halted by a shected
figure.
"Ev'nin'," said Ezry cheerfully.
"Listen to your DOOM" solemnly
and in deep tones quoth the specter.

When The Census Nan Comes.


How old are you? Are you mar
ried, single, widowed or divorced? Is
the house you live in your own; and,
if SO, is it mortgaged or free? What
is your occupation, and low many

and more than sixty thousand men
were employed in making it. This
census will be even greater effort.
The law requires that the census
shall be taken between June and
June 10. AS two Of these days fall
on Sunday, but thirteen working days
are left.
The director Of the twelfth census
is William p. Merriam, former COVER
nor Of Minnesota.
Several Objectionable questions
which were asked of citizens by census
cnumerators ten years ago will be
omitted this time. For example, per-
sons suffering from any chronic dis
ease will not be required to disclose
that fact.

house.
3. Relationship of each member of
the head Of the family.

II. Number of children living.
12. SEX OF these children.
l3. Where were you born? If in
the United States give State or Terri
tory; if of foreign birth, give name of
the country only.
IA. Where was your father born?
Your mother? (Same conditions as
the foregoing.)
10. IF of foreign birth, when did
you come to the United States?
Is. How many years have you re-
sided in the United States?
II. Have you been naturalized!
How many years since you became

over.)

year are you employed?
20. How many months have you at
tended school?

II do not pretend TO say that the
revenue officers can stop the manufac-
ture or sale Of whiskey on which the
government tax has not been paid.
All Of tho whiskey that goes down the
throat of the topper is not the product
Of the still. In most all saloons that
cater to high.class trade the red Ii.
quor is largely adulterated. There
may be one or two brands that cre not
tampered wi,n, but these are not
served out to the average customer.
Water, little cheap alcohol and few
villainous drugs are added to the orig
inal stock, and the compound is pass
ed over the bar to the thirsty man who
merely looks at the label on the bottle,
and does not question the contents, so
long as the liquid is hot aud exhilirat-

is $1.2O q gallon. Some whiskey is
sold at 81 per gallon, and aven less.
How can itbe done? The revenue Of
ficers do not interfere much with this
kind Of whiskey, for the reason that
it carries its own punishment. Some
Of the saloon-keepers have their own
bartenders to make it, but it can fre-
quently be bought in large quantities.
