funny sayings. but had never attempt

bers of the club believed he could
speak II he would try, aud frequently
attempted Ia have him make the ef-

II was finally determined Ia compel
him to speak. So, upon the assembling
of the club. he was called upon and,
dcclining to comply. the boys grabbed
him aud forcibly placed him upon n
table. amidst the cheers of the crowd.
To the astonishmrnt of all he mani

After this sally the curiosity Of the
crowd was satisfied, and no further

under ground, heavy machines are put
to service and the building Of the tun-
mel proceeds at rapid rate. BY the
light Of lamps or electricity the men
eat their lunches, and at the close
of the day, long after the sunlight is
gone, they return TO see a darkened
city.
In such construction work as tllat
of the water tunnel to the two-mile
crib men were sent below the surface
and remained there for days, In some
cnses for weeks. More excluded from

they saw only occasionally an inspec-

their dark, damp prison.
And after such tunnel is complet-
ed constant repairs are required. Men
must crawl back to these re,ssses with
their brick and mortar and their lad
ders, hundreds being thus employed.
Like those who build the subterranean
passages they rarely see the sunlight

molc-likc workers somewhat as they
do among the miners. For terrible
tragedies have happened in the dark
