NINE. MoDJEsKA'S STORY
OF HER EARLY STRUGGLES

In her memoirs, begun in the Christ
mas Century, the late Helena Mod1eska
writes of her early dramatic ideals:
Hamlet made an overwhelming i'm
preston on me, and l worshiped at
once the great masterwork of that
mysterious spirit ruling over human
souls. the wonderful wizard, reading
human hearts and Gods nature, the
great, in'imitable Shakespeare. He be-
came my master then and there, and
remained so through my theatrical ca
reer. I never took better lessons in act
ina than those Hamlet gives to the
players: 1 never enjoyed acting more
than when I played those WayWard,
sweet. passionate, proud, tender, jolly
cruel and sad heroines OF Shakespeare
dramas. = 49,,

Shakespeare were scarce, but Mr.. Mod
ieska succeeded in getting Hamlet, IN
Polish translation, and also Two Cen
tIemen of Verona The Merchant OF
Venice and 'Timon of Athens, which l
read greediy.

direction of the stage, but my desire

the guests of Miss Mabel Taliaferro at
her "Old Lovers" matinee of Spring

with the assistance of canes, but every
gallant unconsciously Strengthened up
and assumed his bravest look as he
passed through the door beyond tne
bbatterv of thousands of eyes, with his
feebIe but smiling sweetheart upon his
arm. After the performance of the
harrington Wilson play, the star held
reception on the stage for the Darbys

100000 MATCHES
STRUCK EACH minute

BY the end of the brief minute
taken to read those paragraphs the
nations of the civilized world will
have struck three million matches.
This is the average for every min
ute of the twenty-four hours of the
day. Seven billion is the enormous
number for the entire year, and those
living under the American flag are
said to be responsible for the con-
sumption of one-half of this amount.
The Importance OF the industry
which turns out the little splinters
of wood tipped with sulphur or some
other material ignited by friction is
only recognized when the average
smoker tries to contemplate his pre-
dicam ent if he had to go back to the
time when he had to coax spark
from finder box. OF course, the
answer is, he would smoke a great
deal less because of the difficulty in
getting light, or else, on the other
hand, smoke continuously in order
to keep alive the fire at the end of
his st0gie, or Havana, pipe Of cigar
cite, as the case might be.
Small and insignificant as it is, the
match demands as much attention in
the choice of the wood going into its
manufacture as any other forest pro-
duct. Only the choicest portions of
the best trees are suitable. Sap
wood, knotty or cross-grained timber
will not do. Instead of being by
product of other articles of manu-
facture the little match is turned out
at hundreds of mills over the coun-
try where the by-products are bulky
objects like doors, sash, shingles,
siding, posts, and cord-wood. The
pines, linden, aspon, white cedar
poplar, birch and willow are the most
suitable match timbers.
The match-maker the matri-
monial kind-are already finding that
the amount of choice timber avail
able is dwindling Forest conserva
ton, if applied to the holdings of the
match companies, like it is on Uncle
Sans National Forests in the west,
will do much to make the supply SUI
ficient for a longer number of years
than would be the case if the old
time wasteful numbering methods Of
a few years ago should continue.
The rapid increase in stumpage pric-
es is one of the chief factors in en-
the wise use of the for
ests where suitable match timber Is
available

All About the Enur1aerators
Director Durands Statement Regarding Qualifications,
Duties and Compensation

Washington, D. c., Dec. gu. s..
Census Director Durand today issued
a statement defining the qualif1ca-
tions, duties and compensation of
census enumerators. He states that
one of the duties imposed upon the
supervisors by the census act Is the
designation of suitable persons to be
employed, with the consent of the
director of the census, as enumera-
tors within their respective districts.
1t Is further provided that such per-
sons shall be selected solely with a
view to fitness, and without reference
to their political party affiliations.
The census act provides that the
enumeration of population and agri-
culture shall begin on April Is, 1910,
and that each enum orator shall COM
plete the work required in his dis
trict within thirty days in the case of
rural districts and small towns, and
within two weeks in the case of any
incorporated city, town, village, or
borough which had 5000 inhabitants
Or more under the census of 1900.
ut is desirable where possible that
the enumerator shall live in the dis
trict ne is to canvass. He should be
familiar with it's territory and the
general character of it's people.
'"The census requires as enumera-
tors active, energetic persons of good
address. They must be thoroughly
trustworthy, honest, and of good
habits. They must have at least or
binary educati ton and be able to write
n1ofn1v on6 with roocnnob1o ni6itv
In general, preference will be given
to former enumerators If they are at
present physically able to perform
the duties Of the position.
Each person seeking appointment
as census enumerator must make a
written application to the supervisor
Bismarck daily tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1881-1916, 1909-12-12

for' the district Of which a resident,
and said application must be made
throughout in the handwriting of the
applicant, and must be Endorsed by
two representative business men Of
the community in which the appli-
cant resides.
Gall applicants for appointment as
enum orators will be required to take
an examination, to be prescribed by
the director of the census, to deter
mine their fitness for the work. This
examin alton will be of practical
character, consisting chiefly or Who'll
ly Of the filling out of sample sched-
ule of population from data furnish
ed, and, in the case of enumerators
whose work will be in rural districts,
the filling out of a sample schedule
of agriculture.
each applicant is furnished with
an illustrative example of the manner
o filling the population schedule and
in country districts, with a copy Of
the agricultural schedule to which,
in the main, the work of the census
enumerators is confined. These
forms of schedules are furnished for
the information of the applicant and
should be studied and preserved for
use in connection with the examina-
tion referred to in the preceding
paragraph.
ut will be necessary fc- each
enum orator, before entering upon his
duties, to receive commission, un-
der the hand of the supervisor of the
district to which he belongs, and to
take and subscribe an oath or affirm
alton that he will faithfully discharge
all the duties required Of him under
the law.
"The census act also provides that
an enumerator, after accepting an
appointment and qualifying for the
work, can not, without justifiable
cause refuse or neglect to perform
the duties Of the position; and he
will further be required to devote
his entire working time to the CEN
sus work during the period of the
enume GRAFTON.
"The compensation to be paid to
enumerators is fixed by the census
act, and an allowance Of not less than
two nor more than four cents for
each inhabitant, not less than twen-
ty nor more than thirty cents for
each farm reported, and ten cents
for each barn and Enclosure contain
ing live stock not on farms, is pro-
vided for all Subdivisions where the
director of the census shall deem
such remuneration sufficient. In
other subdivisions the director may
fix mixed rate of not less than one
nor more than two dollars per day
and, in addition, an allowance Of not
less than one nor more than three
cents for each inhabitant enumerated
and not less than fifteen nor more
than twenty cents for each farm re-
ported, while in subdivisions where
per diem rates are necessary, because
Of the difficulty of the enumeration,
the enumerator may be allowed, in
the discretion of the director, COM
pensation Of not less than three nor
more than six dollars per day of
eight hours actual field work each.
Except in extreme cases, no claims
for mileage or travelling expenses will
be allowed to any enumerator, and
then only when authority has been
