Kicking in the morning,
Kicking all the day;
Kicking IL he's busy.
Kicking al delay;
Thus the chronic kicker
Fills his life with woes.
Frowning, grumbling, wrangling
Everywhere he goes.
Nothing ever suits him,
Always finding fault,
Every kind Of pleasure

Scowling al the children,
Gfowling at his wife,
Turning peace and comfort
Into constant strife.
Kicking II the weather
Happens to be dry;
Kicking when the rain is
Tumbling from the sky,
Kicking in the summer
Heat has then no charm;
Kicking in the winter
Then he'd have II warm.
Kicking every meal-time,
Giaring at the meat;
Often he is saying:

Kicking when he's reading,
Crumbling al the light;
Nov and then denouncing
Everything in sight.
Kicking in the morning,
Kicking all the day;
Kicking in the evening,

Kicking while he's thinking,
Kicking when in bed;
Wonder If he'll keep on

Cultivate the Open Mind.

President Eliot says the open mind ts a fruit Of
culture. And it Is likewise, Christian virtue The
man with an open mind is an agreeable person He
is just and kindly. One can talk with him with
pleasure, for one be quite sure, II the mind Is
open, there Is prejudice. envy illwill there.
The open mind is where the truth is welcomed and
where 1t is not tainted with meanness OF any kind.
As general thing. the more ignorant person
is the tighter s his mind closed. He thus becomes
exceedingly absurd and consequently piufu. He
loses influence and in time respect He likes to say
his mind is made up, which means that the doors
and windows OF his soul are shut and no more light
will be LEI In.
That is a bad situation for person to get In
1t is full of cold gloom. pessimsm and malign med.
itations and stands In the way Of the world getting
better. And who wants to be such an obstruction?

his program. This, he says, will provide ample
accommodations for the 1000 persons who are
engaged in this work from year to year.

complete satisfactory census of all the souls IN the
country, no adequate plans were made when the
republic planted on this side Of the Atlantic
For that reason every decade saw hurry and
scurry to count the population great confusion,
distress In sections and general prevalence OF
conditions bordering on chaos, So for more than
a century it continued thus each year for the pre-
cedng administration, 1t is stated, did not care
about giving the next successful party anything up
on which the caption Of 'spos" Nigh; be hung,
II is declared
So nobody went after real census system very
strongly
But modern ideas have been injected into the
counting process and the gigantic move for per
manent bureau having succeeded, are now TO
have a census which will enumerate, speedily, ac'
curately and give results to the people In the
shortest possible time The establishment of per
manen bureau will also bring about the perfection
of more accurate faster and far better ideas at
later dates Each decade will see changes for the
best it is declared by thcse in power at Wash

census bureau and these do far greater work than
the old style counting devices in use when the
job was started nine years ago.
There are two styles of maChinos-One is the
card punching device and the other the tabulator.
The first punches the holes in the census cards,
which are arranged much as in the conventional
card index The wonderful tabulating machine
then takes the paseboards and solely by mechan.
ical means adds, cassifes and makes up totals
from the cards, which pass through the device
faster than the eye can follow them. Both ma
chimes are essential and each is dependent upon
the other for success
The card punching machine, which Is
great Improvement upon the old system, Is an
electrical contriyance Hitherto the operator
compelled to play upon it like typst, but to-day
all that is necessary is to touch the key desired,
press lever and the machine keeps on punching
cards as long as the power is kept on. The old
hand puncher capable of sending out 900
cards each day while the new automaton attans
a speed of $500 and saves the operators nerves,
Another feature of these machines is that
the United States will know, after the cards
have been turned in by the great army of stats
tics-gatherers, just where 1t stands on population
Classification is also a great feature, divisions
being made of whites, blacks, and other races,
along with females, males, natives, foreigners,
married and single persons.

the clerical work in the government offices at
Washington So you see there Is something to
this census taking business.
Director North of the census declares that as
soon as the incoming cards are punched he VIII

tabulating machines now closely guarded
secret in little machine shop at the census
bureau offices in Washington and at last accounts
the experts at work upon 1t were perfecting the

Encourages the City Beautiful.

'In regard to your city beautiful. you cannot take it too seriously" said a vis- itor in Birmingham the past week. 1T think Mayor Mcclellan of New York was right when he said:
 ''Ii. a self-governing community tile ul- innate object of the government is the happiness of the governed Something more is needed to make the happy city than the health and wealth and wisdom The city healthy, the city wealthy, and the city wise may excite satisfaction. complasance and pride, but it is the city beautifui that compels and retains the love of it's people. Besides this,' added the man from distant city, "a great civic center adds to property values as well as to the public opportunity for the enjoyment of beauty. With the unmatched natural situation of Birmingham, the cre- ation of a really beautiful city could not
