ABSENCE.

A6SENSE,
The shortest absence brings to every
thought
Of those We love a solemn tender
ness,
Seeing the loneliness their loss has
brought,
That they were dearer far than we
had taught
Ourselves to think. We see that
nothing less
Than hope of their return could
cheer or bless
Our weary days. We wonder how far
aught
Or all of fault in them, we could
heed?
Or anger with their loving presence
near,
Or wound them by the smallest word
or deed.
Dear absent love of mine! 1t did
not need
Thy absence to tell me thou vert
dear,
And yet the absence maketh It more
clear. Helen Hunt Jackson.

A Few Facts About the Cen
SuS

There is to be one supervisor
for each census district.
Each census district is subdi-
vided into enumerator districts.
Each enumeration must cover
his district in 30 days.
The pay is from 2 cents to A
cents per name.
There is lack of interest in ap-
plying for the positions of enum-
orators.
Enumerators are selected from
the most capable of those taking
an examination.
Honesty, good address, good
education, good habits are neces-
sary qualifications to become
an enumeration.
Schedules are to be filled COW
ering the population, industries,
acreage, animals, deaths, births,
etc., during the last decade.
The taking of the census be-
gins about April 18th and there
will be more than SO, 1000 persons
in the field gathering the data.
All persons, whether women
or men, who may desire to be-
come census enumerators must
be citizens of the United States;
residents of the supervisors dis
trict for which they wish to be
appointed, must be not less than
Is nor more than 70 years of
age; must be physically able to
do the work; must be trust
worthy, honest and of good
habits; must have at least an or
binary education and must be
able to write plainly and with
reasonable rapidity.
Those who can comply with
these requirements are invited
to put in their applications, as
there will be at least 5000
enumerators' places to be filled
by the middle of March in pre-
paration for the enumeration be-
ginning April 18th.
Application forms, with full
instructions for filling in, and
complete information concerning
the test and the method of ap-
pointment, can be secured by
writing 10 the supervisor of cen
sus for the supervisors district
in which the applicant lives.
All applications, properly filled
in, must be filed with the super
visors not later than January
25th as any received after that
date cannot be considered.
