Ohio has produced the champ
ion mean man. Imperial Texas
sought the dubious honor, pre-
senting three candidates. The
first will not drink as much
water as he wants unless it is
out of another mans well. The
second makes his family write
SMALL so as to save in ink, and
the third stopped his clock to
prevent the works from wearing
out. Ohio's niggard hero, who
lives ia Athens county but who
has initiative relatives every
where, refuses to take the daily
paper because of the strain on
his spectacles through reading
it. Cincinnati Enquirer.

genial stables and kind treatment
are essential. When these can

Revival Of An Old Style.

One of the new bracelets that
is attracting attention is a band
of gold from a half inch to an
inch wide, either heavily engrav-
or covered with a pattern of black
or colored enemal.
The younger generation looks
at these bracelets with envious
eyes, for they are not cheap; but
occasionally a clever girl realizes
most novelties are only old things
come again.
She remembers that in her
grandmother or mothers jewel
case she has seen a bracelet al
most identical with the new one
her wealthy friend is sporting
with such pleasure. Straightway
it is claimed as her perQuisite be-
fore another member of the fam
lily awakes to its desirabilty.
If you have ancestors, even I'M
to one generation of people who
could afford bracelets, it behooves
you to ransack the box where
discarded trinkets are kept. You
will probably come upon the very
newest thing in bracelets, for
this particular style was popular

along, and doing well at that, as
the neighbors all allowed. You

: Taking the Census.

Washington, D. C. Sept. 49,
About siXty-fve thousand emu
merators will be needed for the
thirteenth decenial census of the
United States, and also of Hawaii
and Porto Rico, according to es-
Inmates prepared for Census
Director Durand by Geographer
Chas. S. Stone, of the census
bureau, in whose division the
encumerators' districts are de-
fined and fixed. This is an in
crease of about 1000 over the
number of schedule-carriers in
the census of 1900.
Director Durand points out
that the per diem in 1900, accord
ing to the provisions of section
16 of the act approved March 3,
1899, were required to work ten
hours a day, but, in the act pro-
viding for the thirteenth and
subsequent decennial census, the
time is fixed at 9 hours a day.
This reduction in the daily hours
will require an additional num-
of enumerators in the proportions
of the country in which the per
diem rates will prevail.
The present census law re-
quires that the enumeration of
the population shall be taken as
of the 18th day of April, 1910,
and the enumerators must for
ward their returns to the super
visors. except that in any city
having 5000 inhabitants or more
at the preceding census, the emu
meration shall be completed
within two weeks.
In looking over the details of
the estimates, Oklahoma an d
Washington are conspicuous, as
they will call for about a 300 per
cent, increase over the 1900
force of enumerators.
Pennsylvania will continue in
the leadership having slightly
the largest number of enumera-
tors; the 1910 force being esti-
mated at $500 against 4720 in
1900. New York is second with
a probable 5000 for 1910 as COM
pared with 4541 and 1900. Next
will come Illinois, then Ohio,
Texas, Missouri, Massachusetts,,
Indiana. Michigan, Minnesota
and California, all needing 200C
or more enumerators each.
Kentucky will need about 1900
enumeratorg. In 1900, 1929 were
used.
