When earth's last paper is printed
and the forms and the metal are
cold,
When the newest scandal is ancient
and the latest extra is sold,
We shall loaf-and, Lord, how We
need it.-with nothing at all to
Till the boss of the perfect paper shall
call us to work anew.
And then We shall work as we'd like
to, each on his own machine,
And the truth shall be ia our copy
and nothing shall intervene:
We shall write real stories about
them-heggar and millionaire
For an editor keen and fearless, a
paper that's on the square.
We shall work in rush and a hurry,
for that is the goodly game,
But we shall not dig in the gutter for
stories of filth and shame;
And TIE copy readers above us shall
leave our features" alone
ana the stories that fill the columns
We shall recognize as our own,
We shall have no fool assignments
no cruel missions of pain,
10 torture the broken-hearten or
blacken the sinners stain:
We shall scoop and be scooped a-plen-
ty, and We shall love TIE furry
and noise,
We shall fight with the business office
and fuss with the copy boys.
But each OF US shall be human, and
each of US shall be free
To write the thing as he sees it for the

ADVANCE POPULATION scHED-


1t Is announced by the census
bureau that each head of a family in
number of large cities will receive,
a few days prior to April Is, when the
United States census begins, and sad-
vance population schedule containing
all the questions which appear in the
official population schedule to be car
ried by the census takers.
These advance schedules are to be
filed in by the heads of families or,
in their absence, by other members
of their families, and the schedules
will be taken up by the enumerators
during the progress of the actual
enumeration.
This action on the part OF the CEN
sus bureau is complete innovation
and an important advance in Ameri-
can census methods of obtaining a
count OF the population, and the
bureau authorities expect il to prove
of great practical and scientific value.
1t 1nsures greater accuracy and COM
pleteness in the returns, as the heads
OF the families, who are generally the
most reliable sources of information.
are themselves given sufficient oppor-
tunfty in advance of the enumeration
to examine deliberately and to an
swer exactly the census questions. In
past censuses it was the case usually
that the head of the family was absent
at work when the enumerator called
and reliance had to be placed on 9TH
er members of the family, frequently
servants or children, or on neighbors.
none of whom can be classed as de
pendable informants.
The advance schedule will also I'M
doubtedly prove of great assistance to
the enumerators II will enable them
to perform their work more expedi
tiously and agreeably. and win lessen
the number of cases involving re-
peated calls BY them.

UNUSUAL OCCUPATIONS.

A particularly interesting article by
F. G. Moorhead is found in the April
number of the New Idea Wnman's
Magazine 1t is entitled Unusual
Occupations for Women and is illus
trated with pictures showing women
at some of the difficult and unusual
tasks which they have recently es-
sayed The author states that out of
the 500 occupations distinguished by
the census bureau in classifying the
returns of 1890. women were engaged
in all but nine. There are at pres
ent no women soldiers, sailors, ma
rines. fremen in fire departments,
street car drivers. telephone or tele-
graph linemen or apprentices or help
ers TO steam boiler makers and brass
workers. Some of the interesting
figures that Mr. Moorhead calls atten-
ton 10 are the 10000 American women
who have ualified for the law. the
1S5 blacksmiths, sos machinists, thir-
ty-one brakeman, eleven we'll borers,
and S17,716 farmers. The article
cites number of Iowa women who
have succeeded in unusual pursuits,
among them Mrs. c. E. Rawson, first
vice president of the Dies Moines Life
insurance company, who lays claim to
the distinction of being the only
woman in practical charge of an in
surance company in the United States.

dred citizens OF Butler. Pa, petitioned

II is the consensus of opinion that
twenty-five cents for meal of Wet

OF whisky is an. extortion, as whisky
has been purchased for forty cents a

whisky, pork and flour are a great
