The management wishes the

CENSUS BUREAU AS DETECTIVE
erything From Missing Dog to
Absent Husband.

A great many people are writing
to the census bureau at Washington
to discover if possible where missing
husbands or wives are. One lady de-
clares that her husband. an Irish
man, ran off with a German maid,
and she is confident that there can
be but one union of that kind in the
country, wherefore she is sure that
the census people will be able to
give the location of the missing
knave, in which case she intends to
journey to his domicile and apply the
horse whip, to say nothing of spit
ting" in his face. Another lady, we
are told, feels sure that the census
office will be able to tell where her
pet dog, little terrier, is, it having
been stolen two or three years ago.
We may suggest that it is quite
useless to write the census bureau
for any information of the kind in
Dictated. The names of the people
of the United States are not arranged
in alphabetical order. That would
be too costly an undertaking for
even the United States to essay.
Moreover, some people do not tell the
truth to the census enumerators, and
some give incorrect names. Indeed.
when asked whether married or di-
vorced a great many people of both
sexes are forced to answer both. -
The man who counted Nat Goodwin
and Lillian Russell almost gave his
tory of the people of the United
States. There was one young lady
who had nine fathers, and the end
is not yet. AS detective bureau the
census people are not very good.
They have to believe everything they
hear. They are lucky if they even
get the number of people correctly,
and it is absurd to expect them to
get family history straight.

LEAD-CoATED-sTEEL CAsKETs.
Protection For the Dead Not OBJ
tanned From Wooden Cotfins.

Burial caskets made from Lead
Coated-Steel are coming into such
general use and favor that in many
cases bodies are taken up after hav-
ing been buried in a wood coffin and
re-interred in the new indestructible
Lead-Coated-Steel receptacles, where
they would have sufficient protection
from the enemies in the ground.
A. ]. Baldwin & Co. are carrying
a large number of designs in the
d-Coated-Stee caskets, and are
urging their patrons to give them
the preference to the unsatisfactory
wood collins. The steel caskets are
covered with cloth and otherwise,
trimmed like the wood ones, but the
resemblance ends with the outside.
They are also larger and give more
room for the easy repose of the body
without crOwding.
Messrs. Baldwin & Co. say they
are fully able to guarantee the
strength and durability of these cas-
kets-a thing impossible with the
wood collins.
The steel casket is the only one
that will give sufficient protection to
the body to preserve it from attacks
of earth animals and from being
crushed by the ground caving in.

GENEROSITY OF RAILROADS.
Makes Outings For Little Fresh Airs
a Possibility.

a Possibility.
In spite of the fact that farmers
and small town folks the country
over are very good to the little fresh
airs from New York's crowded tene-
ment districts little could be done
for these boys and girls were it not
for the magnificent generosity of the
railroads and steamship lines in
granting free transportation. One
railroad last week, rather than break
UP into two or more parties a con-
signment of 128 children for south
ern Indiana, went to the trouble of
putting on two extra cars.
Through the courtesy of the rail-
roads and the Goodrich and Indiana
Transportation lines 10000 poor
mothers and children last summer
were given either weekly or camping
vacations. Some 200 of these were
children who were entertained in
country homes for two weeks, the
rest went to Algonquin or took the
day lake trips.
This record cannot close without
reference to the delightful aftermath
of each year. If the visitors are
good-and many, many children are
very good indeed-they are often in
vited to come as personal guests for
the whole of the next summer. Not
only is the boy or girl invited to re-
turn, but often-times all his brothers
and sisters, and in one case a mother
and six children whom a big-hearted
farmer settled in a cottage on his
land. Last year 426 children We're

these children the railroads gladly
furnish free transportation, just as
before. This feature has grown sc
important that special blanks have
been provided in order to facilitate

emblematic of the section from which
the lodge hailed, were to be seen.
Fifty bands, including a cowboy
