HOW SHE GAVE THE CENSUS.
When the census-taker rap
ped at the door of a certain De
troit cottage on Crawford street,
the other day, and wondered if
the woman would set the dog
on him or douse him with the
dish water, a great disappoint
ment awaited him. She opened
, the door softly, snuffed the air
to see if it smelled of lightning
rods and then threw it open to
him to enter.
Madam, I am making a can
vas of the city, he began.
Ah! Sit down, she replied,and
as he began opening his book
she continued: ' There are five
of us in the family, and paid
100 down on this house. My
husband's name is Peter, he is
forty-f wo yeas old and he came
from a mean family. His father
was alays having lawsuits about
dog3 and his mother was the
greatest gossip in Elmira. Got
that down?
He granted assent, and she
continued:
My name is Alvina Sarah, and
I was bom -
I do not care where you, were
born, Madam, he interrupted.
"Well I care she exclaimed, it
makes a difference whether I
" was barn in Affrica. or Boston"
' and I want it put down. And
as I was saying I was born in
Boston in 1838. Put down that
I came from a good family.
Madam, you don't understand
you
Don't I understand that I came
of a good family ? I'd like to
know of a, family that carried
their noses higher than the Ro
gerses? Put down my father as
Mexican soldier.
You have three children, said
, the man.
I hnven't any such a thing.sir!
Put down that my mother was
killed by the explosion of a
quarry. Her father and moth
er were
jHow many children have you,
madam?
Have you got mother down,
sir?
No, Madam. You see I am
taking the census of the city,
and
I had the typhoid fever at the
age of fifteen, and 101 weeks I
hung on the edge,.of thegrave
I bore up as well as I was able
and
Five in the family how many
children, he suddenly inquired.
Put it down that 1 bore up,
she commanded; and that one
night when the watches were
asleep I crept out of bed and
took a drmk 01
: This is foreign to" the subject.
How old are your children?
Haven't you put down how I
hung on the edge of the grave?
No.
Aro you going to?
jno, Maaam. ion see, l am
pimply taking the census of De
troit. I desire to ascertain
Yon can't ascertain anything
here.
He passed convinced of the
. fact.
I'm Afraid.
George, let's go down to old
Heed's a littlo while, said Dan
Weite to a companion, one eve
ning, jost after the lamps wore h
and the day's work was done.
I've got to study, replied George.
Let the studying do itself and
come on, said l)an,
I can't, I must get that leon.
"Well, get up i the morning and
get . it. Professor Jones says
morning is the right time to study
anyway, and he ought to know.
I am afraid, said George.
A roaT of laughter was the only
reply that greeted this frank con
fession, joined in by all the boys
who stood around.
What are you afraid of? inquir

And hi3 mammy, supplemented
a third.
Let him speak for himself, sag-
gested Dan. What are you afraid
of, George?
Why why, if weg0 there wo

oversleep myself rod not get tin
early in the mornig.
