DOING THE CAR.
A Display Of Quick Wit by tho Come
dian Martinez.

dian Martinez.
The Emperor Nicholas of Russia
was once sold" as follows:
During an interview which Martinez,
the comedian and mimic, had succeed
ed in obtaining with Prince Volkhon-
sky, high steward, the emperor walked
into the room unexpectedly, yet with
a design, as was soon made evident.
Telling the actor that he had heard
of his talents and should like to see
a specimen of them, he babe him
mimic the old minister. The feat was
performed with so much gusto that
the emperor laughed immoderately and
then, to the great horror of the poor
actor, desired to have himself taken
on"
"'Tis physically impossible" plead
ed Martinez.
"Nonsense!" said Nicholas. II insist
on its being DONE"
Finding himself on the horns Of a
dilemma, the mimic took heart OF
grace and, with a promptitude and
presence Of mind that probably saved
him, buttoned his coat over his breast,
expanded his chest. threw up his head
and, assuming the imperial part to the
best Of his power, strobe across the
room and back; then, standing opposite
the minister, he cried In the exact
tone and manner OF the czar:
"volkhcpsky. pay NJ. Martinez 1000
silver rublesr'
The emperor for a moment was dis
concerted; but, recovering himself
with a smile, he ordered the money
to be paid.

us, ENUMERAT0R
An Appeal to Public Spirited Persons
For Assistance in Correcting
Erroneous Opinions.

The enumeration OF the popula'
ton during q census Of the United
States always presents numerous
difficulties; chiefly, the apprehsn-
sion of large element that their
answers to the enumerator's ques-
tons will cause increased taxation,
illegal entanglements, or injurious
consequences to their persons and
property.
In order to quiet such unbound
ed fears, which would, unless re-
moved, materially affect the com
ing census, April Is, next, the Gen.
sus Bureau has prepared the SUBJ
Joined brief statement relative to
the decennial census, its origin,
purpose, and uses. 1t should furn-
ish complete assurance to those
concerned that information given
the enumerators is held by the
Census Bureau in the strictest con-
fidence, with reference TO the ident-
ity of the informants, as required
by the policy of the Bureau and
commanded by the law of the US.
1t is, therefore, earnestly hoped
that Clergymen, Priests, Physicians
School teachers, Employers and
other public-spirited citizens who
! come in contact with large num-
bers of people will cooperate with
the Census Bureau by telling per-
sons who are believed to entertain
erroneous opinions of the census,
the real facts, urging them to give
full replies to the enumerators.
Teachers are particularly requested
to speak of the census to the school
children and ask them to tell their
parents about it.
On April Is, in the present year,
1910, the census OF the United
States begins. 1t occurs every ten
years.
1t is the basis OF the distribution
among the states in the National
House of Representatives.
1t is also the means by which the
United States Government ascer-
tains the increase in population,
agriculture, Industries, and re-
sources of the nation.
1t is required by the Constitu-
ton and by act of Congress.
FOR STATISTICAL PURPOSES ONLY.
The information sought will be
used solely for general statistical
purposes. 1t will neither be pub
lished nor used in any other way
to disclose facts regarding any in
dividual or enterprise.
The census is not, never has
been, and cannot be employed tc

used in any way in the assessment

or local; for deportation proceed.

QUESTIONS REGARDING PERSONS.
The census law, with reference
to population, requires that the
