Another victory for L'Anse.

The L'Anse City team took the M
E. Mission boys into camp last Sunday,
in a game of baseball, played on the
local diamond, to the tune of 16 to 7,
thus adding another scalp to their al
ready full belt.
A fine game was witnessed upon this
occasion and good judgment was shown
at all times.
The L'Anse team wore their new
suits for the first time this season, and
presented fine appearance. The suits
are of green cloth, trimmed with white,
and match well with the white
socks worn by the boys.

the members of L'Anse Hose Co., who
spent the day as their guests.

campaign In the Third ward for the
recall, of e. v. Lambert. president
of the city council. Four hundred
signatures were secured. TIE charge
is that Lambert has been unfaithful
to his duties and that he is not COM
petent to fill the Office. 1t is also
alleged that he introduced woolfoot,
moonlight and backstairs methods
into the council and that he does not
deny belonging to the order under
the ban. MI. Lambert lays emphasis
on the statement that the "recallers"
are acting in the interest of politics
and not principles and declares he
will be a candidate for reelection.
The ward is strongly republican,
while Mayor Pratt, a democrat. was
elected on a reform ticket. The fac
ton back of the recall will also pre-
sent a candidate.

Closed Door. and w;ndow..

A schoolteacher asked a dreamy
eyed little girl a simple question, but
met with no response. The question
was repeated, and still the little girl
gazed absently out of the window. in
righteous indignation the teacher raised
her voice and in a yer tone de-
handed an explanation for such shame
full inattention. A dazed look came
ove the little face, and then the child
burst into tears.
When asked why she had not an
swered at first she said that she had
not heard.
you did not hear me?' repeated the
teacher. why l vas standing right
here beside you"
At this point an older sister raised
her hand and said that her sister was
hard of hearing at times and could no;
hear them at home.
With that explanation the teacher
understood more than the seeming in.
attention of the day. She knew why
q child who seemed so bright in many
ways had proved so often to be hope
lessly stM-id in her studies.

MUST Be EXAMINED
Census Enumerators Will be Requir.
ed to Take the Civil service. Ex-
animation for appointment.

Washington, Sept. 27.-Who want.
a job helping the United States gov
eminent count noses in the thirteenth
%decennial census?
Whoever does should begin study
ing for the examinations GALL censu!
appointees must pass a competitive
test,) for they occur at two hundert
or more cities throughout the coun.
try on Oct. %.
i, Three thousand persons will be
given temporary employment by
Uncle Sam during the next census
work. Those who are mostsuccessful
in the examinations may expect ap-
p%ointments at 5000 a year; but ii
their service is satisfactory they may
be promoted up to as much as $500
a year. All appointments are on pro-
baton, subject to termination at the
end of n month, or a longer period
provided the appointee doesn't make
good. All appointments by law ex-
pire on June 80, 1912. The average
tenure of office, as estimated by Di-
rector Durand, will probably be one
year, but the general duration will
range from six months to two years.
None of the new clerks can hope to
secure a transfer to the permanent
classified service without passing a
further civil service examination.
Those who hope to get jobs with
the census bureau mustn't be afraid
of work or too proud to try other
things than clerical service. Accord
ing to the circular issued by Director
Durand, four classes of work are re-
quired; operating card punching and
card tabulating machines; operating
typewriters, adding machines and the
like; manuscript tabulation and other
clerical work, and subclerical work,
such as messengers, watchmen, etc.
The census bureau wants it distinctly
understood that it will not employ a
clerk who isn't willing, If necessary,
to work at punching Or tabulating
cards, on a piece work compensation.
No person may expect to get a cen
sus job If he is an habitual drinker or
afflicted with consumption. Deaf
mutes. however, are perfectly eligible
for examination, and If such pass,
will probably receive employment.
Only one person from a family will
be permitted to enter the census
work.
The examination will cover the fol-
lowing: Spelling, arithmetic including
vertical and cross addition; percent
age, and a simple exercise in tabula-
ton; letter writing, penmanship,
copying from plain copy, and with an
additional credit for speed in finish
ing the entire examination. An option
al test in>typewriting is also open.
The names of those passing the ex-
aminations all over the country will
be registered and Uncle Sam will
pick the 5000 having the highest
marks.
The foregoing refers only to the ex-
aminations for clerical positions in
Washington. There will be several
other classes of help wanted in tax
ing the census. Persons desiring to
become e~numerators, enumerator's
clerks, or interpreters, should apply
the supervisor of the district in
which employment is sought.
