APPOINTMENT OF
CENSUS TAKERS
Names of More Than Three
Hundred.

Washington, Aug. 1.-THE names Of
the more than 800 supervisors of the
thirteenth census to be appointed by
President Taft will be made public
Monday by the president it is unfit
cially learned today.
Assistant Secretary McHarge of the
department of commerce and labor,
and Census Director Durand will go to
Beverly. Mass, in a few days it is un-
derstood to confer with the president
about the appointments.
Throughout most OF the country
there will be a supervisor for each con-
gressional district, but in large cities
one supervisor will be appointed re-
CARELESS of the number of congress
sional districts. The president wishes
to make as many of these appoint
ments now as possible. and a greater
portion of them are already practically
ready to be passed upon by him. These
are in states where the supervisors
will be named upon recommendation
of republican senators and others. In
the southern states where it is pro.
posed to divide the appointments as
nearly as possible between democrats
and republicans, the appointments
probably will be delayed, as recon-
mendations have not been received and
the division has not been made.

"They were ordinary Missouri pump

friend was playing me for tender

ing me the story saw that his state
ment was founded on facts.
About fourteen years ago Mr.. Keith.
a banker, of Sturgeon, Mo-, lent a
farmer $1,000 to invest in stock. The
investment turned out badly and the
farmer had bad luck in other deals un-
til he went broke. He just couldn' t
pay the note. Finally he went out
West and there he made a strike.
Things began coming his way and he
was soon in better circumstances
than he had ever been before.

after the lapse of about thirteen
years he returned to Sturgeon, bought
him farm and settled down again.
The banker again presented his note,
which by this time had grown to

err gently called the bankers atten-
ton to the fact that the statute OF
limitations had run against the note
and that it was not collectible by law
THE banker knew that was true. II
the borrower didn't want to pay it he
couldn't be made to pay it.
"One day the banker drove out in
the country with a friend and they
passed the farm OF the man who had
taken advantage of the statute of linn

his field when the two men drove by
The banker spied some large pump

would take for them. The farmer said
twenty-five cents apiece.

THE banker selected two of the
pumpkins and had them put in hif
buggy. Then he fished around In hir
pocket for the fifty cents.
"'By George! he said. I haven't sol
a cent with me; whatIl I do?'
"Oh. you can pay me next time yot

CoCkney Talk.

An Englishman who had grown
tired of his tight little isle came to
this country to teach school. One day
while rehearsing a class of boys in
spelling the word saloon was given
out. The first boy missed it, likewise
the second and the third. The fourth
boy, spelling it correctly, was asked
to go to the blackboard and write it
so that all could see how it was
spelled. Pointing to the word. the
teacher said:
This is the way you spell, it.
Easy. isn't it? Just a hess, a hay, a
hell, two hoes and a hen"
In writing the word the boy had
placed the letters conspicuously far
apart. This popularity did not es-
cape the observing eye of the master,
and he asked:
why did you write it that way?
Why didn't you place the hay nearer
the hell?"
"Coz Is afraid it would burn up

pockets.
