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 a 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
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. tell you one gets tired
when you are doing that for 10 hours
on a stretch. Itwould break green
man up in two hours. 1t tires your
back. 1t makes your feet 80 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 a horse
car. "-Washington News. &431
