He Claims That He Faces Dangers Which

When the railroad men left the cable
car at the head of the Milwaukee ave-
nue. viaduct, the gripman threw the
lever forward with an emphatic zip"
and said: Those locomotive engineers
think they are the only men with nerve
who ride on rails. Did you hear them
talking about how weak they felt after
their machine had just missed knocking
some clumsy farmer over the telegraph
wires and how they sweat a cold sweat
when the baby toddled in front of their
engine? Did you get onto their trick for a
layoff because they have lost their nerve
through running fast and can t make
over 10 miles an hour until they get
their nerve back again? If those engi-
neers would take this run, they would
be wet through all the time and wouldn't
have enOu oh nerve left to sass a messen-
ger boy.
''There are more kids to the acre up
Milwaukee avenue than anywhere else
in the city, and every last one of them
plays in between the street car tracks.
We have close shaves every block. just
like that. Did you see that man then?
He had plenty of time to wait for the
three seconds it takes for US to pass, but
he couldn't wait, and we grazed him.
We don't run &C miles an hour, but you
can kill a man just as quick at II miles
an hour, and it shakes you up just as
much. There isn't gripman in Chicago
but breads to make the down town loop
during the rush hours. Providence looks
after babies and drunken men, and be-
lieve we have special Providence with
u.s. You people may think we have no
feelings, but have seen men run their
grip cars into the barn and then sit
down, weak as a cat and white as
sheet. Their nerves had given out, and
that was all that was the matter with
them. chicago Record.

Original.

John Hookham Frere was a scholar
and man of much literary ability, but
one of those whose work, for some rea-
son, finds a very slight hearing. But
even if his literary work should be quite
forgotten the stories of his absence of
mind will live as long as incongruous
error continues to amuse.
One day he sat repeating some verses to
Mr.. John Murray in Mr.. Murray's Office,
and his host became so interested in the
poem that he asked the poet to go home
with him to dinner and continue the
recitation. Mr.. Frere, startled to find it
so late, excused himself. He had been
married that morning, he said, and it
was already past the hour when he had
promised his wife to be ready for their
journey into the country.
Another such story rests on the au-
thority of his wife herself. Mr.. Frere
had just been introduced to her at an
evening party and offered to take her
down stairs to procure some refresh
ment He became so interested in their
conversation, however, that he drank
the glass of negus he had poured for her
and was about to conduct her up stairs
when she Iaughingly demonstrated with
him for having forgotten her needs.
This, she said, convinced me
that my new acquaintance was, at any
rate, very different from most Of the

JACKETS FOR OUR SAILORS.
They Are Made by Sewing Women In the
Employ of the Navy department..


Employ of the Navy Department.
The natty uniforms of the sailors and
marines of the United States navy are
made by a corps of women employed by
the quartermaster of the Brooklyn navy
yard. They are well paid, and the posi-
ton of tailoress or seamstress is eagerly
sought for by women who earn living
by making garments. The waiting list
of the bureau of employment contains
more than 100 applicants. All work is
done by the piece, and the wages vary
from So to $12 week
The applicant must present her name
to the civil service board. Her appllca-
ton must be signed by at least two rep
utable persons. Not only must she
come we'll recommended as a seamstress,
but the condition of the workshop is
carefully considered. The quartermaster
makes it point that no work shall be
done in sweatshops or in places where
the clothing is likely to be infected.
Once appointed, the applicant visits
the tailor shops of the navy yard, where
she receives a bundle of goods TO be
made up into garments. The govern
ment furnishes all the trimmings and
thread. From 30 to 80 bundles are is
sued every morning. 1t usually requires
two days to finish the garments. The
work is delivered and new lot issued.
The overcoats are made of heavy cloth,
and the maker receives So. 80 apiece.
Drawers and undershirts for the men are
made of II ounce and ounce blue fan
mel. The seamstress is paid ) cents for
each. The maker is paid Sc cents apiece
for cloth trousers and so cents for work
ing trousers. Overshirts of heavy and
light weight fannels pay So cents
apiece. Jumpers are made of white drill
ing at so cents each.
Some of these women have been in
the employ of the navy yard from . to
20 years. The older employees are best
paid and make rarely less than $12
week.
The garments are for the enlisted men
only, as the officer supplies his own
wardrobe. The uniforms are issued at
the navy yard by the quartermaster.-

Gentlemen:-I feel very grateful to you

was almost blind from loss Of power in the
optic nerve. Her eyes looked perfectly nat

until on some days she could hardly tell day
light from darkness. We had several pre-
scriptions from oculists and tried several
remedies, but without success. We happened
to see in a paper accounts Of what DIR. Miles
Nervine had done for others, and purchased
a bottle one day of Dr. Lamb. To our great
joy it restored her eyesight. l bought two
bottles more and they made a final cure.
Thanking you for what it has done for US,
can and will recommend it to others.
