The Labor In Driving a Street Car.

/ should think that the men who
used to drive horse cars, but whose
occupation has by evolution become
that of gripman or motorman, must
rejoice at the change. Under the
new conditions the work is hard
enough, but the driver has chance
to rest occasionally to a far greater
extent than is possible on horse car.
A horse car driver once explained the
thing to me
you see" he said, "a fellow has
to hold up and control with one hand
a pair of horses that kinder have a
desire to lie down anyhow, and they
take every chance they can get to
slip and stumble. He has to turn
this brake with the other hand and
use one foot on it as well. So he has
practically only one leg to stand on
and not much chance to lean against
anything. l tell you one gets tired
when you are doing that for 10 hours
ON a stretch. Itwould break a green
man up in two hours. 1t tires your
back. 1t makes your feet so sore that
you would like to cut them off and
cast them from you, if such things
went these days. 1t wrenches your
chest, and it makes your arms feel
as If they had been on one Of those
racks that the inquisition people used
to amuse themselves with. There is
no soft snap about driving horse
car. Washington News.

Mr.. James T. Fields about the con-

beyond all bounds! Thee wanted 12
stanzas, and three times that are
now written, and the story has
scarcely begun, and, moreover, l fear

Newspaper Violates its Contract When it Fails to
Print Legitimate News.
An exchange hits the nail on the
head when it says that newspapers are
often asked to suppress news concern
ing criminal escapades, because such
news will unpleasantly affect worthy
relatives and friends Of those who are
apprehended in wrong doing. Very
frequently the news is suppressed out
IF these considerations when it ought
not to be. The time for the dissolute,
ihe prohigate and the criminal to
think Of their families and friends is
when they are entering upon wrong.
Iae newspaper has contract to print
lie news and it violates the contract
and cheats its readers Of their just
portion when it fails through neg
llgeneeAor purposely either, to print
news of a legitimate character.
