had a deep-rooted dislike. But the re-
creation pier for his ward had been
one of McMannis' heartfelt desires for
the last two years. One of the secrets
of this unbroken rule of the Tenth
ward was that, aside from his ability
as a politician, he was at heart

who had voted for reform. But If a
break could be made in the machine
ranks, if McMannis, whose sway in his
own ward was undisputed, could be ar
rayed against the boss, then indeed
something might be effected. And as
he pondered the matter, Harry Wen
dell saw through a glass darkly a plan
whereby a break might possibly be
made in the compact forces of the
machine.
It's playing machine politics on my
own account" he soliloquized, but
McMannis is a good deal better man
at heart than Dorsey, and recrea-
ton pier would be a good thing for
babies in those big tenth-ward tene-
ments, however it is obtained.
The next day, while Tom McMannis.
seated in little room back of his
bar. was talking over the details of the
coming campaign with few of his
favored henchmen, a bartender enter
ed, and, in the confidential whisper as
stunned by all practical politicians and
their followers. announced that Harry
Wendell would like to speak to the
ward leader. McMannis nodded to his
retainers, who filed out of the room.
When Harry entered. McMannis looked
at him with complacent hostility.
Wendell was opposed to him in politics.
But what could Wendell, or any other
reformer. do in the Tenth ward?

McMannis and Wendell, while politi-

II have been thinking of what you

creation pier 1t would be a godsend to
the babies this bot weather Now, can't
we combine on this point, even if we
fight each other on other matters?"
The leader of the Tenth ward leaned
back in his chair, his hands in his
pockets, and looked hard at Wendell.

1 shouldn't myself. But it's the truth
l would give up my share to get that
pier. Sure. if you lived in the ward,
and saw the hot kids and the tired
women you would feel the same way
about it,
Maybe we can do something about
it next year. replied Dorsey, "but
just no wits up to you to do some
hard work for the organization before
election. You're not going to let this
turn you against the party, are your"
"Of course not" answered McMan-
mis-, almost Indignantly. You ought
to know better than that. 1t will be
many long day from now before Tom
] McMannis votes against the party.
But l think it is shame about the
pier he added, obstinately, as he left
the room.
Dorsey had not recovered from the
annoyance caused b. the discussion of
the recreation pier, when Rev Alfred
Mann was ushered into the office. If
there was any person in the city for
whom Richard Dorsey had a cordial
dislike it was Mr.. Mann. The feeling
was reciprocated. While we'll meaning.
Mr.. Mann was far from tactful. His
advocacy of the claims of the east side
children in the matter of a recreation
pier was such as to leave the political
boss in a hot perspiration of rage. In
the end. with stronger language than
was due the sanctity of the cloth, Dor
sey requested the clergyman to leave
the room, and added that nobody but
meddling fools wanted the pier Meth

litical leader and advocated the claims
of the Tenth warders to the recreatio
pier. The result of these maneuvers
was that the generally silent and self
contained boss was eXasperated to
such pitch of irritation that men

soothing effect upon him that the
waving of red flag has upon a bull.

Brown-eyed Johnnie O'Neil, better
known to his family and immediate
friends as the fat baby" had wan
dered to the long avenue skirting the
river front. 1t was too hot to play, too
hot to sleep, for plump babies at least
it seemed too hot to do anything except
feel vaguely miserable. At the corner
Johnnie stopped. Just across the ave-
nue. the river breezes were skirting
the piers But the street was busy
one, and even if he succeeded in reach
ing the other side the crowding trucks
and heavy wagons left no place for
small and very hot baby. So Johnnie
stood at the corner and wistfully
watched the scurrying boats.
Harry Wendell, a young lawyer, who
was rapidly becoming prominent in
local politics, was hurrying to the
meeting of the City Reform Club. He
did not notice the perspiring fodder,
and almost ran into him. The fat
baby made a frantic effort to dodge,
collided with another pedestrian and
fell to the sidewalk. 1t was not

feet he lay on the pavement and sobbed
in helpless misery.
Harry Wendell picked up the small
sufferer and handed him a carnation
he had been wearing. AS the babes
feelings changed from sorrow to Won
der and then to delight his sobs grew
fainter.
Sure, and these hot days are hard
on the babies. with never a breeze
stirring except along the river, and
the trucks and wagons keeping them
away from there"
Harry Wendell looked around and
saw Tom McMannis, the ward leader,
and one of the strongest supporters
of Richard Dorsey, the boss whom the
City Reform Club was working hard
to overthrow.
Its "a pity they can't get a recre-
alton pier for this district" observed
Harry, looking at the river front,
which had been the coveted Canaan
of the fat baby. 1T would be a Won
deful comfort for the children, as well
as for older people"
1T would that" assented McMan-
mis-. II was telling Dorsey the same
only yesterday. But he didn't seem to
look at 1t that way"
And McMannis, after giving the now
cheered fat baby some pennies, and
telling him to run and get a bit OF
candy" strolled into the saloon which

A QUAINT SEARCH.
UNCLE SAM TRIES TO FIND OUT
WHERE ALL THE PINS GO.

He Fails, as Did Everybody Before
Ought to Ne in Every Ones Pos
sessiOn-He Counts All That Are
Made Here in a Year, md Gets
Many other odd Facts About
Them.
Uncle Sam has been trying to find
out where all the pins go. That is an
old question. Away back in the days
of the cave dwellers some housewife,
dressed in skins, probably asked it
when the pretty bone pins made by her
husband insisted mysteriously on dis
appearing just when she needed them;
and almost everybody since then has
wondered just the same way.
Uncle Sam sent puzzle solvers out to
study the matter. These puzzle solvers
were called census collectors. They had
to solve many other hard problems, for
finding out about pins was only one of
many thousands of things that Uncle
Sam insisted on knowing. Some of
them had to count his buffaloes, and
OIHeTS ndQ TO count MS locomotives,
and others his children, big and little
Most of them did pretty we'll They got
so far as to count his chickens before
they were Matched. They found out
how many Indians he has in his coun-
try, and how many miles of telegraph
wire, and how many cows and horses
and sheep and goats, and lots of other
queer things.
But the men who hunted after the
pin question did not manage to find
any lost pins. All that they could dis
cover was how many are made each
year, and how many everybody in the
country ought to have if most of US
did not keep losing them.
If everybody got his or her share of
the pins that are manufactured in the
United States, each one of us ought to
tie more than one new pin every three
days.
There were 1850, 900, 600 of pins made
in the United States in the year. and
the needles that were turned out
amounted to more than 161, 100000
OF course Uncle Sans puzzle solvers
did not count these pins and needles
one by one. To do that would have
required more than one mans lifetime.
They found out how many factories of
pins and needles there are in the
country and then they asked each one
for the. amount turned out by IL.
The census collectors found that
there are forty-three factories, all

making them as fast as machinery can
do it. Three and one-quarter millions
of dollars are invested in the shops
and machines and tools for making
them, The manufacturers sold their
product for almost 100000
There are seven times as many pins
and needles turned out now as there
We're in 1860. Then the work gave EN-
ployment to only 25G persons; now .
35S are employed at it. The manufac-
ture of pins and needles has given
$339,S46 to working people in wages IN
the past year.
The most pins and needles are MADE
! in Connecticut, New Hampshire Mas
sachusetts and New York. Connecticut
and Massachusetts make almost all the
sewing machine needles used.
Uncle Sam first attempted to make
pins when he was not Uncle Sam at
all, but only trying to be. During the
Revolutionary war not the least OF
the hardships that the brave Ameri-
can women had to suffer was the lack
of pins: for the Kings cruisers goo-
bled them up with everything else that
ships tried to bring here. So Few
pins were made in Connecticut and IN
the Carolinas. But even the patriots
had to admit that they were not GOOD
pins and they did not begin to supply
became scarce again. You may De
sure that for time any child that lost
pine then was scolded and had TO
look for it. A few pins were made mere
again, but when the war ended ana
English pins began to arrive once
more the domestic manufacture ceased.
Then no pins to speak of were made
by Uncle Sam until 1880, when more
than one of his shrewd Yankee boys
began To their
manufacture.
The first machine made the pins
without a head. The head was form
ed from tiny coils of fine wire and fas-
tened on the shank by pressure. Inc
next Yankee boy invented a machine
that made pins with a solid dead. Be
fore long, Uncle Sans folk had ma
chimes that turned pins out at the rate
of ITO minute. Not content WIN
that. they invented a machine to SUCK
the pins into papers.
When pins were made by hand each
pin had to pass through the hands Oh
eighteen different persons before It
was finished. Now a machine does IL
all. Coils of wire are placed on reel
and the machine draws out as much

Then the pins are thrown out into

this bath they go into a revolving

come down here to give me a talk on
purity in politics. as they call it? No,
sir. He's going to help me get a rec
reation pier where the kids and their
mothers and fathers can sit these hot
nights. It's too bad so good a boy
should be mixed up with that anti
organization crowd"
A week later Richard Dorsey. the
head of the organization, the recogniz-
ed ruler of city politics, was sitting in
his private office, a frown on his face,
For days the Express, the reform
mouthpiece, had been printing stories
about the sufferings of the children
on the crowded east side during the
hot weather, and insisting that a rec
reation pier was more needed than the
new pavements in the outside districts
But Dorsey and several of his polit-
ical adherents were financially inter
ested in the paving contracts
Stirring up all this trouble about

vote" thought the boss, angrily why,
can't people mind their own business %
And just then Tom McMannis was an
nounced
McMannis had called to talk over the
political situation in the Tenth ward
AS usual, this ward, the largest in the
city in point of population, was solldly
for the machine. Dorsey's face bright
ened up at the first part of his lieu
tenants discourse. Then ii clouded
when McMannis said positively:
But it seems to me that we ought
to have that recreation pier, anyway.
This hot weather is mighty hard on
the people. Four times yesterday the
ambulance was called. And the man
who is doing the rushing business in
the ward is the undertaken"
What can I do" replied Dorsey, i'm
patiently. IF the city appropriates
money for the pier it will run over the
debt limit. You know the people at AL
bany and the reformers are just look
ing to catch us up on that very point"
You might let some of those new
pavements go, or have them put in for
half what it is going to cost" an
swered McMannis, bluntly.
Dorsey looked Disguised.
What's the use of talking that
way?" he grumbled. you know where
the money for that deal is going. A
man has to live, and so must his
friends. Seems to me that l didn't
hear any howl from you when we put
down the East Side sewer. And you
know what that cost and who got the
money. Most of it went right over to
the Tenth ward"
This unvarnished statement of city
finances was somewhat of a facer for
McMannis.
