a regular camp at this little hotel a

Upon the sky. They III get in line
To square themselves. The trusts
will all
Go forward to repent, and bawl
And howl around upon their chins,
Imploring pardon for their sins.
And then the census man will come
around the house and haw and hum.
He'll lead at this and lead at that, and
ask the birthplace of the cat. He'll
fiddle here and potter there, and take
a sample of your hair. He'll measure
you between the eyes, and figure and
philosophixe. He'll make the acid test
for wealth, and ask of everybody's
health. He'll count the children and
the goats, and ask how much you have
in oats. He'll kick his shins against
his calves, and add and multiply his
halves. He'll show his star and stick
around, and finally declare his ground
and ask the womenfolk their age,
and exit bleeding from the stage.
Some fifteen million, it is said, win
90 to see how many head there are Of
US, or black or white, or whether we
can read or write, and what the plus
of women is that no one yet is calling
his, and other unimportant facts con-
corning our domestic acts, when most
of us, to all intents, would rather have
the Is cents it costs Us per, and do not
care how many of us have red hair,
or who can read and who can write,
so long as simply throwing light upon
the matter doesn't make the bachelor
spruce up and take the pining spinster
to his heart, or teach unlettered folk
the art of writing, or as far as we, at
least, are competent to see, improve
our happiness bit, but Congress
wills, and so be it.
April will chiefly consist of Taft
weather, with occasional showers.
The moon will be in apogee on the
oath, which will be the last day the
hog will jump over it. Mr.. Cannon
will be storm center.
And then the month of May will come
OF all the months the worst,
And forty kinds of bugs will fight
To see who saw Us first.
