way In the census reports, the results
might be somewhat uncertain as a ba.
sis for the average market prices.
Responding to these inquiries, Gen.
sus Director Durand states that in
forming its inquiries and instructions
with reference to the value of domes-
tic animals and fowls, the Census Blu.
reau must necessarily follow the lines
laid down in the law governing its &C.
tion. That law requires the bureau
to ascertain the number and value of
animals and fowls. The value sought
is not the value of some particular
class of animals or fowls, but of all
animals and fowls. 1t is the amount
at which the animals and fowls can be
sold. Good pure-blooded animals will
sell for more, and thus have a greater
value than the poor animals. Where
there are many pure-blooded, the aver.
age will be higher than where the OPP
posite condition of affairs prevails,
but, 40 q matter Of fact, the pure
blooded animals are so thoroughly dis
tributed that they left no appreciable
influence upon the average published
by the twelfth census, except In the
case Of the young colts Of the State
of New Jersey.
No appreciable influence on the aver
age price or value of eggs, milk or
butter Is observed in consequence of
the practice mentioned by the inquir-
ers. The high-priced eggs, milk, but
ter, etc., are found about as much in
one part Of the country as in another.
The average which the census will
publish is not that of particular class
of eggs, but of all eggs produced. 1t is
the same for all animals, fowls and
animal products. The relative num-
Der and value of the animals and prod
ucts to which specific attention has
been called does not exert, for the
country as whole or for many of the
States, an influence sufficient to make
the average published by the census
materially different from the average
market prices.

PRESIDENTS LONELY LIFE.
Plain Common Folks Have n Better
Time than the Nations Chief.

Plain Common folks Have Better
Time than the Nations Chief.
After all, maybe it isn't so much fun
to be the President Of the United
States. Perhaps there is more quiet
sociable satisfaction in being a non
commissioned officer in the great army
of just common folks. There is almost
of necessity a condition suggestive Of
loneliness attaching to every eminent,
exclusive or unusual position in life
Whatever in the nature of wall or
fence or social or official barrier serves
to shut the crowd out, tends to shut
the individual in. One cannot enjoy
the honor and distinction of occupying
a position above the level of the null
titude and at the same time feel that
sense of intimate sociability that comes
of touching elbows with ones fellow
beings. The normal, ordinary mortal
does not particularly enjoy being too
much in the presence Of his superiors,
especially If he is expected to make
the attempt of presuming to meet them
on the level.
And 80 it Is that for everyday peo-
pie to meet and enjoy the society Of
the highest executive officer Of the
United States Of America requires
more tact and less self-consciousness
than those who have never tried 1t
would be likely to imagine, the Chris
tian Science Monitor says. Perhaps
the feeling that is apt to possess one
making such an attempt might be
compared in a measure to the sensa-
tion one would experience in going for
a stroll with friend who was mount
ed on stills. AS a matter of fact. the
President would, no doubt, gladly get
down from his official stills If 1t were
possible for him to do so; but, try as
he will, he Is powerless in the matter.
He may seek to make those about him
believe that he is no taller than they
are, but 1t counts little what he may
say or do; they will persist in looking
I'D to him. Perhaps there has never
been an occupant of the White House
who has come nearer to meeting the
people on a common level than does
President Taft. But those with whom
he meets cannot forget that he Is the
first citizen of the great republic
The President Of the nation, who
ever he may be, needs and deserves all
the honest and disinterested friendli-
ness that individuals and the public
can give him.

less opportunity for speculation as
they traversed this distance The tacit
sentiment prevailing was that either
Desterle was drunk or that Doherty
was sprung bit in the head"
What's the matter, Pat?" asked

officers piled into the little hall and
overfowed into the front room.

The Thing. which had been covering

out before the policemen. Doherty's .
fright was fleeing. so he led the squad,
and they advanced. The duel between
the one and the dozen now began.

they grasped at it. but blows, shots,
and clutches all missed fire and effect.

They herded 1t into their midst and
round and round the room the strange
struggle went on. The table was
overturned and the bowl of violets
struck against the shade of the falling
drop light with an eerie crash. Sud-
denly the pursued turned pursuer.
Plunging straight for Doherty It
wound its hairy arms around his neck
and dug Its long claws through the
padding Of his coat shoulder into his
flesh.
Monahan pulled blanket from the
bed. Finnerty a sheet They tied the
sheet round the long hind legs of the
Thing. they threw the blanket over Its
head. and they held 1t firmly there, till

monster loosened its grip on the faint

The squad Of officers, exhausted in
body and staggering in mind, could
roll no more coverings over the
scratching, writhing shape battling to
rid itself Of the swathings that rem
dered 1t helpless. The odds were that
this horrible caricature of man and
ape would overpower them.

have some place to put the beast"
The end man of them all went out
of the room and dragged the prim
little mattress off Miss Gentry's bed.
Just as he came up to the confused
heap in the center of the death cham
Der, the Thing with the surge of a
bursting dam, rose up and scattered
its captors like straws. Doherty, re-
vived now, but mad with pain, shot
out his great ox-arm and hit the mon
