There is something in phrenology
after ALL" said Champ Clark at the
Capitol to caller. II did not respect
IL very much once. 1t seemed to be
that the bumps on ones head need
not necessarily indicate anything.
But i changed my mind when my
schoolmaster, who believed in that
sort of thing. showed something.
He had with him the heads In
plaster OF two men-Patrick Henry
and Edward Everett-both great men,
as you know. Now. Henry had a
strong face from the eyes down, bu,
he was weak above that. Everett,
had a powerful dome, but a woefully
weak face. Now. the teacher had
cut these heads In half where these
demarcations have indicated took
place and he put the dome of the
head OF Everett on the lower part OF
Patrick Henry's face and a wonderful
result followed. / am sure the two
pieces made the strongest face In oil
the world. The most wonderful, per-
haps. In all history. can still see
that face.
"He then put the weak dome OF
Patrick Henry's head on the weak
lower face OF Edward Everett and ac-
tually the effect was the face OF an
idiot.
And ever since I have had pro-
found respect for phrenology."

Director Durand Says Acting Director
LabOred Under AIisapprehensiOn,
and Mr.. Lever May Inspect Census
Returns--PrOtest by Our Congress-
man Produced Quick Results.

The attempt of the Census Bureau
to ignore the protest of Congressman
Lever respecting the census Of Sumter
| and to cut him off short when he ask
ed the privilege Of inspecting the re-
turns of the enumerators who took
the census OF this city has fallen fiat,
Director Durand having executed q
quick right about face when Lever
got straight behind him with joint
| resolution requiring the Director of
the Census to permit, under proper
restrictions, the inspection of census
| returns. Mr.. Lever has scored a dis
tinct triumph over the red tape Of the
Census Bureau in the Sumter case
The following letter illustrates the
| side-stepping agility of Director Du-
rand when he gets in close place:
Washington, d. c., Jan IS, 1911.
| Hon. A. F. Lever

Washington, d. C.
My dear Mr.. Lever:
| z In reply to your oral inquiry re-
| lative to the letter addressed to you
| under date of January IL by the Act
| ing Director Of the Census Bureau;
beg to say that one paragraph in that
! letter was written under a misappre-
hension and does not correctly state
the policy Of this Bureau. The letter
stated that, because of the confidential
| character of the census returns, per-
| mission could not be granted to in
| spect them. 1t is true that the de-
| tails Of the census returns are conf
| dental and that access to them >will
not be given for the purpose Of secur-
ing details for any purpose which
| could In any way tend to injure the
| individuals furnishing information
\ 1t has always been the policy Of the
! Bureau, however. to permit inspection,
under proper conditions, Of the names
! and addresses on the schedules, for
| the purpose OF determining whether or
not complete enumeration has been
made. / am entirely willing that any
duly accredited representatives of
the city of Sumter should inspect the
returns for that purpose here in
Washington. or to furnish a copy of
the list of names secured, on payment
therefor
The rurtRor statement contained IN
the letter or The Acting Director, how
ever that 1t would be Impossible 20
make Any change ia the announced
population of the city Of Sumter, Is
entirely correct. 1t is possible that,
under these conditions, it may not be
considered worth while to inspect the
schedules, although there is certainly
no objection to such inspection.
Very respectfully.

the negroes that she had killed Mr..
Hamilton. Returning insanity was as
signed as the cause of her awful deed.
and she was promptly returned to the
