leaders influence is brought to bear on the
landlord.
..One OF the leaders constituents dies
and leaves . will. The widow does not
know what to do and the leader is called
on to aid her. Mrs. Smiths husband is
arrested and Is in sad need of bondsman.
Smith has many friends and each friend
has vote, and the leader sees that the
bond is procured and does what he can to
pull Smith out of trouble. Sometimes it is
Mrs. smith who gets Mr.. Smith arrested.
Smith has INDUCED his pugilistic instinct
to the detriment of Mrs. Smiths eye, but,
sure. the poor man il fine fellow when
he is not in ticker, and so q day or two
after the arrest Mrs. Smith calls upon the
leader and implores him to do his best to
get Smith out of the penitentiary.
II have lots of Just such cases as these
every month. The people seem to regard
the leader as . man who should know
everything. They pour their domestic as
well as their financial troubles into his
ears. and he is kept very busy trying TO
disentangle the troubles of others.
All this time an army OF men is hust-

that he gets work in some private concern.
The alderman of the district soon looks

chap always objects to manual labor They
are educated down too fine for that and not
educated enough to take places of respon-
sibility, so usually get them on the horse
cars as conductors. So you see the leaders
have pretty hard row to hoe after all. ("

well, have often figured that out and

what it costs the leader out Of his own

"And where does the leader come in?"
"Oh. he comes in all right Don't worry
about him."

shock came. and the steamer gave mighty
heave and plunge, as if she were going

her head to the rapids, where there was
another rock. She touched this and took

The captain yelled: We're all right

The boat was fearfuiiy crowded. About

west, and the sky began to darken. The
wind freshened considerably, too. and a
big storm was predicted. There
was yet one series of rapids
to 60 through, as dangerous as any. but
the captain OF the Bohemian thought he
could reach them before darkness set in.
The upper deck forward of the boat was
packed with people watching the first
plunge OF the steamer, when there was a

to fall in sheets. The people made a rush
for the cabin and shelter, and as the

how many machines of all makes are

male operators. We think it not far out of

women whose support is derived from the
use of writing machines, and $4,000 men OF
