Getting at the Fact.
The census taker rapped at the
door of the little farmhouse and
opened hia book, relates the Youth's
Companion. A plump girl of
aoout eighteen came to the door
and lilinked at him stupidly.
"How many people live here?"
he began. 4
"Nobody lives here. We are
only staying through the hop sea
son."
"How many of you are there
here?"
' "I'm here. Father's in the
woodshed, and Bill is—"
"See here, my girl, I want to
know how many inmatesthere are
in this houae. How many people
slept here last night?
"Nobody slept here sir. I had
the toothache dreadful, and my
little brother had the stomach ache
and the new hand that's helping
us got his back blistered and we
all took on so that nobody slept a
wink all u|ght loug."
