He's beauty! He isn't a patch on

brick and good class which, between you
and me, Delda, Bertram isn't"
The occasion was a Sunday morning
several daJ after Mr.. Robertson's arrival,
and the Beresfords were going to church.
Angus Robertson had won golden opin-
Ions at the Rectory in the short time that
he had passed there since his arrival. He
had slipped at once into the family circle,
yet without presuming on his intimacy.
There was nothing snowy or superficial
about him. He talked very little, being
naturally Of silent, reserved nature, but
what he had to say was worth hearing.
Few men had travelled as much as he had
done. There was no trouble in entertain
ing him; he was perfectly content with
book and Lulu's chatter, although the oc-
casional light that shone in his eyes and
the lines in his big, fair, tanned face
seemed to denote that he was not natural
ly of a placid, unenterprising nature.
He had no pretensions to good looks.
His features were without distinction.
and there was decided rudy tinge in
his thick hair, but he had a wonderfully
sweet smile, perfect teeth, and an express
sion that made Moyra decide at the first
glance that he was a man to be trusted.
He had been intensely amused to learn
they had expected small schoolboy, and
had astonished the Rector by divulging
that his mother lad been the cousin whom
Alec Robertson had been forbidden to see.

had paid his love q stolen visit. and the

of a postal card may be devided
by a vertical line placed ap-
proximately one-tllird of the dis
tance from the left end of the
card: the space to the left Of the

the portion to the right to be
used for the address only. A
very thin sheet Of paper may be
attached if it completely adheres
10 the card, and such a paster
may bear both writing and prin-
ting. Advertisements: illustra
ton OF writing may appear on
the back of the card and on the

Postal cards bearing particles

There is = conflict between the
State and United States Courts
in North Carolina which will be
watched with more than the
usual interest. The matter in
volved IS the constitutionallty of
an act of Tie North Carolina Leg
islature fixing the passenger
rates at 2 ii cents per mile. the
railroads contending that 1t
amounts to confscation, and
they are seeking protection from
the courts of the United states.
The North Carolina authoAties
seem determined to enforce the
legislative act, and have arrested
and convicted ticket agents who
soId tickets at the old rate, and
: ine Of $4,000 was imposed
mon y the Southern railroad for
violation of the new rate law.
At the last session OF South Car
olina's General Assembly an
effort was made to reduce pass
enger rates, and it came near
passing, but there were d mum
Der of members in need Of light
on the subject, and did not feel
justified in rushing headlong
into legislation which must effect
the earning capacity of the
roads, and therefore decided to
postpone It's consideration until
the coming session. and until a
special commission appointed to
investigate the railroads can
make their Investigations and
report, The General Assembly, $
being cautious, in the light of
events in North Carolina was
certainly for the best, because 1t
will give the members who are
ignorant of railroad affairs, an
opportunity Of receiving enhght-
ment from their own committee,
and also they will be enlightened
on the legal status of a rate law.
If the act of the North Carolina
legislature is sustained by the
Supreme Court Of the United
States it is a foregone conclusion
that South Carolina will have
a similar act at the next session.

The Real First Families.

Genealogists will be interested
in the announcement rom the di-
rector Of the United States cen
sus that pamphlets are now in
press containing lists of the name
of all heads of families in the
states of Vermont, New Hamp
shire and Maryland at the date
of the first census, 1880. These
pamphlets, of about $50 pages
for each state. are sold separate
Ily by the director of the census,
Washington, D. c.: at 81 each.
These lists have never been
published before. \ summary
of the census was published in
1871 in volume of fifty. SIX pa
ges. The original schedules
we're preserved in Washington
until the burning Of the Capitol
by the British soldiers. In that
fire the returns OF Delaware, Geor-
gia, Kentucky, New Jersey, Ten
nessee and Virginia were de-
stroyed. On account of the nu-
merous requests for information
addressed to the census bureau
it seemed best to print these early
schedules for the first time The
appropriation for the printing of
the census bureau for the year
1907 was not large enough to per
nit the publication Of more than
three states lists. 1t is hoped,
says the Chicago Tribune, that
the next congress will appro-
pirate money enough to permit
the lists Of heads Of families in
Maine, Massachusetts,. Rhode
Island, Connecticut, New York,
Pennsylvania and the Carollnas
to be published.
The first census report filed
IS pages, the twelfth fills 10,4OO
pages, as large as several pages
of the first report. In1190 Phil
adelphia was the capitol Of the
United States and had 2S,522 in
habitants. New York was the
largest city. with 33, 131 inhab-
itants. The Federal City" was
planned in part, but not yet built
and not yet named. Chicago did
not exist. There were in the
United States about $40, 000heads
of families. The records of140:-
900 of these names have been de-
stroyed. The lists about to be
published contain about third
Of the rest. In 1870. the first
four states in population were, in
the order named. Virginia, Penn
sylvania, Massachusetts, North
Carolina. Male whites outnum-
bered female whites in every state

Island and Connecticut. Maine,
Massachusetts and Vermont a.
lone, had no slaves, "a "ugh by
a printers blunder t was

tire cost of the frs, CO was

A substantial pub.o demand
for these lists will give moral
support to the demand for the
publication of the remaining lists.
These are the official rolls OF the
real first families Of the republic.

mechanics Of all classes, such as
carpenters. blacksmiths, brick
layers: stonemasons, plasterers,
ETC., receive from 81 S1.20 day,
and painters 50 cents to 81 aday.
High grade machinists may re-

the wages are somewhat higher
than in the provinces, but not
much. Common laborers receive
from DO to so cents day The
average prices for dressmakers
and milliners is 20 cents a day.
Servants are paid from one-third
to one-fourth as much as IL the

with inferior quarters and food.
Until the new ten-hour law went
into effect a few months ago the
laboring men Of France worked
twelve hours a day They began
at 6 a. m. and quit at I p. NJ,
with one hour at noon.
All mechanics in France are o.
bliged toserve an apprenticeship
of from two to three years, du-
ring half of which period, at least,
thav receive no WAGES and must
board themselves. In addition
to this each one must give up two
years of his life for military SER
vice, for which he receives l cent
a day and board and clothes. 1t
will be seen, then. that every me-
