The street crossing pcliceman's posi-
tion is perhaps the coolest in winter and
the hottest in summer. At the principal
intersections Of street railway lines he
stands and guards mankind He must be
there when the wind Is bowling its ferc-
est. and he must stand there while the
hottest lay Of "Old SOL beats down
upon him during July and August
Occasionally. in summer. If he Is for
tunate, he has a shade or awning under
which 10 stand for three or four min
utes during the day, when business is
slack. That is not often. however, for
soon he must be out looking 70 see that
no one is hurt and that the cars are
running across the street in the proper
manner.

The Young School Girl.

Then there is the young school girl
with an armfuI OF books. who rushes
across the street. Just as she gets TO the
middle Of the car track she drops the
books. right in the front Of a car. She
steps to try 20 pick them up.
The street crossing mans heart goes to
his throat and he makes d jump fer her
just In time 10 get her out Of danger.
And after the car has passed the police
man quietly picks the books up and hands
them 10 the miss who thanks him very
gently. and that is all there is 10 it.

The street crossing man is perhaps the
best posted man in regard TO places Of
interest in the city, and yet be learns Of
Of a new place every day. There - not
a day goes by but what some stranger in
the city puts question 20 him as 20
where this or that Place is. He is some
times baked when asked some Of these
questions.
He has been provided. however. with
book containing several hundred places
Of interest IN and around Washington,
where they are located, what hours they
are open, and how TO get there If IL
were not for this book he would uudoubt-
eddy have to tell some Of his questiouers
that he did not know where the place
they wanted is located.

nearly every conceivable industry.

Of filling his purse He would go to
the market. where. after cxaninin,;
the shops, he would select one. and,
turning to the proprietor. would say:
Twill you take me in as a partner In
your business for the day?' The offer
was, Of course, accepted. The Shah
wo-ld take his seat near the shop en-
trance and say TO his courtiers, whom
he always took with him on these oc-
casions: Now. I'm the salesman.
Who'll buy?" The latter, not daring
to refuse the offer OF the royal nleri
chant, set about clearing the shop OF
its contents. paying sometimes two
hundred and fifty dollars for goods
that were not worth fifty dollars. No
one was allowed 10 beat down the
prices or to leave the place without
making purchases. When everything
was sold the Shah had a list OF the
cost price OF each article made out,
and Loyalty shared with the shopkeeper
the amount Of the profits realized.
