AN EMERGENCY MAr

A half dozen railway employees were
trying to get seventeen hundred
pound Percheron horse into an express
car. A gangway ribbed with Stats was
set from the ground at an angle of for
ty-hve degrees up to the door of the
car. The horse was in no sense frac-
tious, but just simply stubborn, and
every means failed to get it to climb
the steps into the car. One man. one
OF the emergency sort, finally took the
horse by the halter and turned it
square round, backing it up to the foot
OF the gangway. He then commences
to back up that horse little at time
and In two minutes backed it into the
car just as nicely as could be. We
have found out that quite often men
can be handled in just this way. Too
contrary to go ahead, they may be

ss HOW THEY GET A START. HgsA
One reason why the poorer class Of
foreigners who come to this country
are enabled to get start is that it
costs them far less to live than it does
the average American. Always used
to scant bill of fare and meager
subsistence, the poorest food available
here is better than anything they have
ever known and withal is always to
be had in abundance. They are thus
satisfied with less expensive foods than
are our own people and prefer to sell
rather than consume the best Of the
foodstufs which they may produce.
The foreigner hardly ever fools away,
any hard earned money on knickknacks
and delicacies and lets no food at all
available ever go to waste The Amer:
lean laboring man wants and will have
the best things which the market aft
lords, and in all too many families the
earnings of the head of the house are
all either put into the stomachs or on
to the backs of the family, many such
using up this month on tick the salary
which 1t is expected will be earned
next month. Men can never get out of
the rut and on to their financial feet
by doing this way, and the man from
the old country never does 1t.
