request from an intelligent writer was
one which read something like this:
my ancest n, John ButtonWood, came
to this country in 1897. Will you kindly
ascertain where he was recorded as liv-
ing under the census of 1900, and also
the names Of his sons and daughters?
Please trace them and their descend
ants through succeeding censuses down
to the present time, and give me as
complete a record by decades as the
facts in the possession Of the census
Office will permit. I shall be very glad
to compensate the clerk who under
takes this search in case it is out of
regular lines Of your work."
Perhaps, however, 1t Is not so strange
that people direct this sort Of questions
to the census office when other govern
ment bureaus are doing similar things.
The library of congress Is great re-
sort for persons seeking genealogical
information, and the department which
has this material in charge finds an
ever-increasing task before it. Very
simple questions the library answers
without charge, but If the inquiry
threatens to take considerable time, 1t
is turned over to a paid searcher the
library having on its lists several per-
sons who regularly do this work. The
record and pension Office is another bu-
reau which is able to give a surpris-
ing amount of information Of a per-
sonal nature, although, Of course, its
range Is limited to men who have
served in the army.
The question has sometimes been
asked: Why should there not be, In
this age of abundant government print
ing, a dictionary of the 100000 people
in the United States, published, per-
haps, decennially? The answer Is easy;
1t would make series Of volumes con-
siderably larger than all the city direc-
tories Of the United States put togeth-
er. It would be of some use in hunting
for lost persons, but practically for
little eelse.-Washington Special.

tells a story to illustrate Senator Pen
roses loyalty to the organization with
out regard for his personal opinions or

one day that no inconsiderable part of
official popularity lay in entertaining
during the Washington season, and ad-
vised him to go in more lavishly for
social honors and attentions.
why" said Quay, "a senator of your
age ought to be married. Indeed, Pen
rose, I'd advise you, for the sake of the
organization, to get married. Your
chances of reelection through inf1uen-
tial demand by the bigwigs will be in
creased a thousandfold If you take a
charming wife down there with you
next term. With your money you
ought to be able to do it WELL"
Penrose pondered deeply minute or
two and then asked:
do you really think a thing like
that counts?"
Sure" answered the Old Man.
WELL" answered the junior senator
resignedly, "let the organization pick
out the woman and I'll marry her.

The writer's assume that, since the
census office has taken the names Of
everybody in the United States, with
the age, nationality, and lot Of other
facts, it will be very simple matter to
tell what persons are on the records, and
so trace any one who has not adopted
an alias. The office has prepared for
NAL reply which Is sent out to all these
inquiries. It recites that no alphabeti-
cal list Of the population Of the United
States has ever been made, and so the
office does not have the desired infor-

Der of clerks for such an undertaking.

As "SHYLocK" SAW IT.-For many
years there has lived in South Dakota
town a German who is Familiarity
known to his fellow citizens as the
baron. In his early manhood the baron
became estranged from his titled rela-
tives as the result of his marriage to a
daughter of a London shopkeeper. He
then came to this country and by his
thrift acquired considerable wealth.
Though a devoted husband and father
he has long been known as the town
Shylock, and woe to the poor farmer
who is unable to meet in full on the
date agreed upon all claims upon him
by the inexorable baron!
One day, while several men were sit
ting in a general store, the baron enter
ed and listened attentively to story
that was being told by an acquaint-
ance. The young man was describing
how, while coming to town that morn
ing, he had seen several Indian girls
cutting up a cow that had died Of some
disease a day or two before.
"Vell?" demanded the baron, when
the narrator finished. ''Vell?"
"Well,'' replied the young man, the
heathens are actually going to use the
flesh as food. What do you think OF
that, baron?"
An angry flush colored the Germans s
face almost purple, and his whole fig
ure seemed to dilate with Indignation.
"Vot do I dink of it?" he cried. 1T

seized the counterfeit money in her pos
session, and came to this country. She
recovered, followed them here and gave
the whole thing away.
Sanford carried the huge knife in a
special pocket sewed In the left side Of
his coat. He could whip it out and
throw it open with one motion. 1t was
in his possession when he was captured
but he was taken so quickly that he
had no time to use 1t.
"And that reminds me-" said Mr..
Wilkie, speaking Of knives, 1--WE very,
very seldom run across one any armed
with knife except an Italian. Ameri-
cans, Englishmen, Germans and others
don't have any use for knife. They
carry revolvers. You have probably
noticed pictures of Italians on the stage
in the act of stabbing an adversary.
They are always represented as rails
ing the dagger-hand above the head
and striking downward. That is all
wrong. Italians upper-cut when fight
ing with knives. They invariably en-
deavor to rip their victim, inserting the
knife in the abdomen and either strik-
ing or ripping upward. ."-Washington
