Knew All Their Tricks.

Gentlemen" said Frederick the
Great. II am entirely dissatisfied with
the cavalry. The regiments ARE COM
pletely out Of hand; there is no ac-
curacy. no order: the men ride like
tailors. | beg that this may not occur
again and that each of you will pay
more attention to his duty. but know
how things go on. You think am not
up to your lodges. but | know them all
and will recapitulate them.
when the season for riding drill
comes on the captain sends for the
sergeant major and says: I have an
appointment this morning Mt -. Tell
the first lieutenant to take the rides.
So the sergeant major goes 10 the

Look here. sergeant major. what Is
the good OF my standing out there In

The old gentleman went into the par

hour OF 1890 and found the lights out
and his daughter and dear friend
enjoying tete-a.tete in corner by
the window.

"Yes. papa" she answered sweetly
'Tt is candleless because times are

The Difference.

Father" said little Rollo. what is
the difference between farming and
agrIculture?'

alternative. She blushed and said she
would. but wanted to go back to Chi
cago for n couple OF weeks to see her
mother.
The men got hold OF the news an
hour later-that Is. Old Tom told them
separately and collectively that any Of
them who wanted to bid the angel

who lined them up and sent in the
first man. The first man had his
speech all ready. So did the second.

those speeches were all alike. They
began with bow and kick and n
lump in the throat and proceeded:

Some Census Questions For You
Sample of the Ordeal That You Will Have to Go Through
When the Busy Census Man Sees You.

"Are you the head of the family, or
is the head out?"
This is one of the leading questions
that will be put to whoever may come
to the door when the census enumer-
ator calls next April.
1t is important that the government
keep track of every head of family
and the answer, though it may cause
domestic wrangling afterward, will be
recorded from the one of whom it is
asked. That is where the woman o.
the family will get the best of it, as
it is likely the men will be at work
when the enumerator calls.
SHOW About Your Mother-n-Law?"
Are you married? Have You any
children? Is your mother-in-law liv'
ing with you?"
These are few of the multiplicity
of questions which. beginning April
Is. 1910, will be asked every house.
wife in the United States and its Ter.
ritories by Uncle Sans army Of in.
quisitors known as census enumera
tors.
From house to house all over the
country these inquisitors will go. II
you happen to be a housewife and
answer the summons of the doorbell
and four Of your five children answer

There is one request in particular
the government makes of people living
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1909-11-28

in small cities, towns and rural dis
tricts, and that is to have all dogs
chained after April IA, for at least six
months.
When the enumerator calls he will
begin by asking these questions:
What street. road or avenue is
this? What is the number"
He will then ask: What is your
name? Are you the head of a fam.
lily? What is the name of each per
son living here on April Is, 1910? The
surname initial of every person in the
abode? How many children, their
names, ages, places of birth?'
If you are not the head of the fam
lily you will be asked what relation
you are to the head.
The enumerators will ask the sex
color and race of every person.: the
age at last birthday.
Then comes the questions to the
women.
Are you married or single or di
vorced or widowed?" If you have been
divorced and remarked you will be
asked the number of years of the pres
ent married life.
How many children are you the
mother of? How many children were
born and how many are living?'
These questions will be asked in the
order named, SO do not get impatien,
and fretful and think the enumeratoy
is asking questions which seem per
sonal and impairment The informa
ton is for the government. The emu
merator also will ask you your nation
ality. The government is particularly
anxious that this question be answer.

To Identity Citizens and Aliens.
The question of citizenship will be
thoroughly gone into, thus:
Were you born in the United
States? Were you an immigrant?
What year did you come to the United
States? Have you been naturalized
or are you still an alien"
The enumerator will have to ask
whether all persons enumerated speak
English, and if not what languages
they speak.
The trade or profession, the kind of
work done by each person, such as
spinner. salesman, laborer, etc. will
be asked. The general nature of in
