Early one morning after late snow we looked
out of the window and beheld what appeared to
be a lively little whirwind of snow on top of the
WALL After a while the cloud of snow disap-
peared revealing two grey haired old men each
with broom in hand; and they stood laughing
at each other like school boys after a tussle in
snowbank, then brushed the snow off their
garments. shouldered each his broom and marched
back to his guard house.
Whom your time is out and you are given the
money you have earned at nine or ten cents a.day,
hurry right down town and into the first saloon
you come to and drink all the whisky you can hold
1t will brace you up and make you happy-you
won't care for what the world thinks Of you
every one you invite up to the bar will smile at
you and with you. Never m nd the morrow. a big
fat policeman will take you in and care for you
when the world tires of you.
We visited the tub and pail factory yesterday
for the first time in two weeks. and surprised
at the great quantity of finished and unfinished
work that had accumulated in that time. We
found Superintendent Covell in the manufactur.
ing room lodging about among the stacks of tubs
and pals with business in his eye and sawdust in
his whiskers. The machines were all in motion
and there was sawdust, sandpaper dust, shavings.
and chips flying in every direction. They have
got the big elevator in running order again. and
the conductor invited US to ride up with him. On
the second floor we found the artists at work
printing, granting. stripping and vanishing the
tubs and pals In this shop the balls and handles
are made and pat on. On the third floor we found
hundreds of tubs and pals packed ready for ship
msnt. The boys are getting "onto" the bust
ness and are increasing the output every day.
