Just as the rays of the setting sun were
gliding the church spires and whitewashlng
the back kitchens of Detroit the other after
noon, a. man and barrel were discovered
at stairway on Monroe avenue. He was
small man and it was big barrel, and
pedestrians who saw him looking up the
stairs and back at the barrel inferred that
it was his intention to elevate it to the third
story. But how?
"Pd rig tackle and pulley in that third
story window" said the first man who halt
ed. "Thats your easiest way, and there's
no danger Of accident"
He leaned on lamp-post to calculate on
the length of a rope and the lifting power
required, and along came second man who
took in the situation at glance and said
"Go and get some scantling fourteen feet
long and lay 'em on the stairs. Then two
men can roll that barrel up there as slick
as grease"
The little man looked around in help.
less sort of a way, and third man came
clustering up and called out
"Want TO get that barrel up stairs, eh
! Well, now. fasten your pulley at the head o
the stairs and ten men down here can snak,
the barrel up in no time. Where's you
tackle
By this time the crowd had increased t.
twenty, and was pretty evenly divided be
tween dead lift through one of the from
windows and a pulley at the top of the stairs
but the man who suggested the skids had ;
very lond voice, and was determined to car
ry his point; taking off his coat, he said:
81 know what Pm talking about. and
say that can skid that barrel up ther'
alone. You just wait a minute.
He crossed the street to an untinishe,
building and returned with couple of tw
by four scantlings and laid them on tn
stairs, and the crowd now numbered fifty.
You want this barrel on the third floor
do you? ?" he asked the little man.
"Yes-but-but-"
"But what?"
"Why, l was waiting for my wife to ge
the clothes horse out of the upper hall
She's all ready now, and I'll take it up"
And the little man shouldered the barre
and trotted briskly up stairs between tn
skids. 1t was empty.
