pounds and the average woman about
l2O.
III you want to realize how heavy
that is, pick up something about those
weights and see how long YOUR hands
and arms cam bear the strain.
Ifyou cam stand it full minute, you
are doing remarkably we'll.
Did you ever stop and think that your
feet hold up that big weight for hours at
a time every day?
That is why your feet are sore and
tired at might.
That is why they ache, itch, BURN and
swell.

LovEY MARY
By Alice Hogan Rice. Author of "Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch"

By Alice Hogan Rice, Author of
 Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch'
 Mrs Wfggs can claim the happy fortune of having made more friends in tho year 9o2 than any other woman in the world-at least, if the sale of Mrs wiggs of the Cabbage Patch' is any criterion. for 1t was tine best selling book of the year The same author, who was Alice Caldwell Hogan when she wrote Mrs. Wigss." and is now Alice Hogan Rice. has just issued her book. ''Lovey Mary. Here Mrs. wiggs. her geographically named children, and her friends Miss Hazy and the rest, reappear with some new char acters notably Lovey Mary. who runs away from an orphan asylum with Tommy, very small boy to whom she has become greatly attached, and seeks refuge in the Cabbage Patch.
 One is glad to continue an acquaintance with Mrs Wiggs. who makes 1t a matter of con science ''to put all my worries down in the bottom of my heart. then set on the lid an smile" How simple faith in all human na- ture unfailing honest optimism, and unselfish lives. sweeten all experiences and make roses bloom in the Cabbage Patch the thoughtful reader may find through 'Lovey Mary's' four teen chapters of richly humorous incident, with just an occasional touch of pahthos to keep the heart tender. Lovey Mary is a pa- thetic waif whose starved life Is devoted to Tommy, the baby outcast. whose pretty, weak mother mocked at the girl who assumed her duties and came to a realization of life's deep things only in deaths shadow. It is Mrs. Wiggs who straightens out the tangles, keeps the faces around her smiling. and teaches one and all that 'it aint hard to be good when folks love you"
 The little green book is attractive one, with eighteen clever full-page illustrations. drawn by Florence Scovel Shinn. and with the typographical excellence always expected from the De Vinne Press The story is dedicated '"To Calt Young Rice who taught me the secret of plucking roses from a Cabbage Patch. ' Published by the Century Company. New York.

q. S. CENSUS OFFICE.
It Is Now in Charge Of Mr.. North,
the New Director.
Herriam.s Successor Has Long Been
Regarded as an Expert In Statfs-
tfcs-Was Highly Esteemed
by President Mckinley.

The president on June notified MIR.
William Il. Merriam of his acceptance
of Mr.. Merriam's resignation as oi-
rector of the census, to take erect on
that day. Mr.. S. n. ID. North, former
chief Of the division of manufactures
of the census bureau, was rendered the
position a number of weeks ago. and
accepted. 1t was expected at first
that Mr.. Merriam would retire from
office May Is, but Nj. North requested
him 10 remain a little longer, as he
could not arrange his private affairs
SO as to take charge of the office be-
fore june 5. Accordingly, that day was
fixed as the date for the transfer of au-
1hority.
Mr.. Merriam has been elected vice
president of the International mer-
camille agency, and expects to devote
himself TO business entirely in the flu
-ture. He Will probably make his head
quarters in New York.
Mr.. Merriam has been the director
of the census since the organization of
the bureau in 1899, and his record in the
office attracted universal attention
on account Of the manner in which he
prepared for and took the census and
published the results. An act of con-
gress gave him a very short time in
(which to complete the work, and in
spite of all sorts of obstacles thrown
in his way, including strikes among
the printers. he was able to push the
work through and lay the completed
work before congress before the ex-
piration of the time limit. This is con-
sidered a remarkable performance,
and drew special attention to the bu-
reau.
