suddenly he closed his satchel with

and seized a spectator on the edge of

Railroad auditors all over the coun-

Reports received through local railroad
sources are to the effect that cigar
cite smokers are hereafter likely to
be generally barred from the account

The latest road to make t-ls an i'm

Healey, auditor Of the freight depart
ment, has issued an order that no per-
son addicted TO the use Of cigarettes
shall hereafter be given employment.
In this connection it is stated that
auditors representing roads all over
the country recently came TO an under
standing TO place a ban On all cigarette
smokers. It was held that the habit
ual inhalation CT cigarette smoke af-
fe0ted the mentality, tending toward
inaccuraCy.
General Manager Bancroft of the
Oregon Short Line has long been
known as d foe to cigarettes. He is
responsible for the rule forbidding Gig
arctic smoking within the Short Line
building, and it is "a serious offense in
his eyes for an empl wee TO smoke
cigarettes. Traffic Manager Babcock
of the RIO Grande is another official
who is strongly opposed to the use of
cigarettes by the employees of his

that the street car employees viii be
free from further attentions from labor
organizers until they themselves invite
it. A majority of the motormen and
conductors were interviewed personally
and their views secured for record.
This information was laid before Mr.

decision was reached that the traction
employees are not imbued with the
spirit of unionism and would be

strength As a consequence all efforts
toward unionizing them have been

And the former newspaper man and
the street fakir headed for the nearest
bar, while the crowd thinned out and
wondered at the sudden termination Of
the lecture on indestructible pens.
In August of 1898 the Senate hotel, a
three-stOTy hotel at Fifth avenue and
Madison street, Chicago. burned, caus-
ing the death of fourteen men and
women. Keane, the street fakir, was
stopping at the house. a smooth faced
boy of Is. In fifteen minutes he made
four trips up and down a corrugated
iron water pipe on the outside of the
building, hand over hand, and rescued
as many people from certain death,
including two women. He escaped
with nothing save a pair of trousers,
which, like his hands and arms. were
torn and cut through contact with the
pipe. For days he was hailed as a
hero, feted on all sides, and then ne
went forth TO peddle his wares as Of
old on the street.
Today the fellow stands on a street
corner in Salt Lake City, a mountebank
of the gutter, beguiling folks to buy
his wares, without dignity, without ac-
quaintance, without standing in the
community. One man. and one man
only, knows the story of how he faced
death unflinchingly to rescue his fellow
mer from humiliation.
