Wells served the district one session
with honor to himself and his con-
stituents representative, and as it has
always been the custom to give faith
full Assemblyman two terms, he should
have been returned without opposition
and would have been were it not for the
hope of a little coterie who have some

Hurlbut a TOllier.

The Fennimore Times: The biggest
'jollier" we ever heard of is one II. III.
Hurlbut at Baraboo, district supervisor
of the census. The humble census
enumeration of the precinct, after COM
plotting his arduous and thankless task.
receives a glowing personal letter from
the said district supervisor loudly
praising the humble enumerator's work
and giving long lingo to the effect
that Ibis papers in passing on their
rating required only about 90 minutes,
both agricultural and population, while
Others the whole force had to work on
two days and even then the papers
might be returned from Washington
and the work all have to be gone over
again. Upon reading which the
enumeration gets as pulled up as balloon
and straightway rushes to the little
country printshop with his letter to
make known the glad tidings to the
public. 1t reads fine in print too, and
the enumeration fondly imagines that he
is 1.-THE only pebble on the beach," until
he reads exact duplicates of his own
letter and sent to, other enumerators all
along the line, then his plume feathers
wilt some. Alas, publicity pricks many
bubble. Hurlbut is great iollier,
but if he takes any more censuses. he'll
be wiser man and not dish out the
same taffy to each of his subordinates.
