Give the Census.

Los Angeles had population Of
5000 the other day. according TO
figures adduced by the board Of
health of that city. Another census
taken, say. day after tomorrow, will
very likely, show a population OF
276,542, or something like that. The
board of health OF Los Angeles con-
sists of physicians, and physicians
dep nd upon their popularity for their
prosperity and-but the point is OBJ
vious, This particular census of day
before yesterday was taken by means
of an estimate based on the number
of water connections According 10
eastern usage, the water connection
game of guess works out like this
Take the number of water conner
tions In a city and multiply them by
Ave and You have the number OF per-
sons IN said city, This Is easy, much
|easlor than Uncle Sans archaic
method of counting noses and estl-
mating one human for each nose.
The latter method may come a trihe
closer TO the actual facts, but actual
facts are not necessary to a Los An
Is. los census.
still, right is right and wrong Is
wrong, and Los Angeles deserves
great credit for exercising the
most heroic sort of self-restraint.
She did not base her population on
the multiplication by FIVE of the wa
ter butts, but by conservative, cut
ldown-to-Heeuba, can't-take-a-cent-
less multiplication of only As. And
this gave her 275,OOO. The lower
figure. II is explained. was employed
because there are many men In that
lcity whose families are not with
them. Thus II Is implied, there are
many men who are not using water.
This is charitable and Just, and
shows that Los Angeles is perfectly
fair in her claims and in her estimate
of her grass widowers.
Still, the very next time the build
ing permits show the erection of
structures with water connections
II will be great temptation for the
Angel City not to pick up slate and
pencil and figure out a few more
thousands. Sacramento Bee.

 There was moments silence. Then Mrs. Dillon held her sister at arms length and carefully studied her face. Mrs. Daley was worn and wan, she wore faded but clean print press; her sleeves were rolled up above her elbows, and specks of flour clung to her toll hardened hands.

 Mrs. Daley handed her the letter. 10 be sure, it was addressed to her self, but Beatrice attended to the af- lairs of the entire household.
