Thought all of you might find this entertaining
(and what we all suspected was going on all along)...
Hi, in my research through census records and files, I found
this amusing piece taken from a book written many years ago.
I bought an old book dated 1888 by Artemus Ward. It was about
his adventurous journey across the United States with his travelling
show. One chapter is on taking the Federal Census. Read
on....
The Sences taker in our town bein taken sick, he deppertised
me to go out for him one day, and as he was too ill to giv me
informashun how to perceed, I was consekently compelled to go
it blind. Sittin down by the road side I drawd up the
follerin list of
questions which I proposed to ax the peple I visited:
- Wat's your age?
- Whar was you barn?
-How many parents have you?
-Hav you a twin brother several years older than yourself?
-How many chickins hav you, on foot and in shell?
- Air you marrid, and if so how do you like it?
- How many children hav you, and do they sufficiently resemble
you as to proclood the possibility of their belongin to any
of your nabers?
- Did you ever hav the measels, and if so how many?
-Air you trubeld with biles?
-State whether you air blind, deaf, idiotic or got the heaves.
- Do you read Watt's Hims regler?
-Do you use boughten tobacker?
-Wat's your fightin wate?
-Is Beans a regler article of diet in your family?
- Air you aware that Indianny whisky is used in New York?
-Was you ever at Niagry Falls? Was you ever in the Penitentiary?
Well, I got into a row at the first house I stopt to with some
old maids. Disbeliven the answers they giv regardin their ages,
I endevered to open their mouths and look at their teeth, same
as they do with hosses, but they floo into a vilent rage and
tackled me with brooms and sich. All goes to show that takin
the sences requires experiunse, like any other bizniss"
