The st part of the wofk, and tho

The wol st part Of the wotk, and tho
only task which is not readily under
taken by the men, Is the work on the
main towers. Any ono who will
notice will see that these are reached
by walking up the main cables which
support the bridge. On each side of
this giddy path a wire rope is fas-
tened, to act as a hand rail, but any
one who looks can see that there are
many places where these hand rails
will either be above the workmans
head or else on level with his feet.
AS a matter OF fact the task of walk.
ing up one Of the main cables to
reach the tower is about as unpleas-
ant and risky one as can be found.
The actual risk of death is not very
great, for at all points the adven-
turer has strong hold for each hand
on a wire rope, but if he slips he has
for few seconds the horrible sem
sation OF hanging over nothing in par
ticular until he can again find a
place for his feet.
1t is absolutely necessary that the
men shall sometimes travel up and
down on these cables, in the work
of painting the bridge, and somewhat
elaborate cOntrivances are used to
afford t." men securer protection
on each side. The cable slants at a
most uncomfortable angle for walk
ing and, although it cannot be noticed
from the roadway, there Is a great
deal of jarring vibration in the cable.
So much of this shaking is some
times apparent that the men will only
make the trip in their stocking feet
or while wearing rubbers. When the
painters are at work the wire rope
hand rails are reinforced with ropes
and bound down at certain places SO
as to make sure that they will always
be within reach of the mems hands.
The easiest task in the work of
painting tahe bridge is, of course. the
painting of the ironwork on the foot
| way. 1t is considered as safe as that
on the roadway and trolley track is
dangerous The bridge painters say
that trolley men and truck drivers
are so unaccustomed to seeing ped
estrians or workers on the roadway
that they take no precautions what
ever, ard the men, therefore. have
to be constantly on the lookout 10
avoid being run down.
The work of painting the bridge, in
cluding the preliminary cleaning. has
now been in progress nearly month.
It will take the best part of another
thirty days to complete the task

tour of tho Lips.
According to physiognomlst the
lower lip is the most important part
Of the mouth as an indicator Of char
acter According to its fulness, fresh
ness in appearance, and width 1t indi-
Gates benevolence and liberality. A
pale, shrivelled and narrow lower lip
reveals a decided want of these quail
ties.
There are thick under lips that hang
so that they become almost q disfig-
urement, and these, a. we'll as looking
ugly. denote indolence and . love OF
luxury. Taking the opposite extreme.
however, 1t is not desirable to have
pronouncedly thin lips. for when ths
outline Of the lips is narrow and united
to mouth with a sinister expression,
there is indicated great deficiency OF
natural kindness in their owner.
want Of warmth in their owner and
but little capacity to love. Well de-
fined and developed lips, the outlines
OF which are rounded out are admired
for their beauty and moral worth. be-
ing, as they are, tokens Of a tender
hearted, amiable and sympathetic dis
position.
Well closed lips are sign Of discre-
ton. II the upper one Is long, in ad-
dition to being pressed down firmly
upon the lower one, both mental and
physical power appertain to their own
er. Supposing the upper lip Is very
short, and the middle teeth OF the top
row are constantly exposed, fondness
for praise is betrayed.
Frequently another type OF mouth ID
seen, one in which the corners OF the
lips descend, indicating a person OF a
despondent disposition, prone to
dwell overmuch upon the serious side
of life. But when the corners turn up
in the form of Cupid's bow. their
possessor is of a bright and cheerful
nature, always finding a silver lining

Al the Age Of 85 He Whiles Away Time

Joseph Franklin Of Charlestown cele-
hrated his IS birthday anniversary re-
Gently in . decidedly novel fashion.
He entertained more than 200 guests
in his home on Sullivan street with
an exhibition of his own needlework.
His daughters and several young
friends assisted him In receiving and
in displaying the embroideries. Hun

wrought in natural colors, besides
drawn work and hemstitching OF the
finest sort. Every stitch was set by
Mr.. Franklin himself, and furthermore
he washed and pressed every piece
to make ready for this day.
The story of how this CHEEKY old
gentleman happened to find such en-
ployment is interesting. He always
led busy, active life, first on a New
Hampshire farm, then in many parts
OF the world as ships captain. and lat
er as a builder and decorator. About
10 years ago. while working on the
roof Of building, he fell to the ground
and received serious injuries. A brok-
en- leg meant months OF Imprisonment
and his active temperament rebelled
at the enforced idleness Always a
favorite with his young acquaintances
he never lacked for company. and one
sympathetic girl conceived the idea OF
teaching him fancy work. Some coarse
materials were brought, and lying nat
upon his back, he learned to his in
tense satisfaction few simple stitches.
Thus, at the age Of Is, when most
people are willing to fold their hands
and consider their work in this world
accomplished he became an apt pu-
pil. In 10 years he has developed won
derfully; has learned more complicat-
ed embroidery and acquired the art OF
finishing off. He always buys his own
silks and spends much time In the
choice of colors, for he is particular to
a shade, and nothing is a trouble to
him in this occupation. Early and late
he keeps at work. Those near to him
have much fun over his unnecessary
industry for he gets up at unheard OF
hours even while yet out Of town for
q summers vacation, yet he stitches
away contentedly and Joins the laugh
ter.
Mr.. Franklin IL a philosopher and he
talks of what might have been, but
TO: this pretty pastime. Nothing
pleases him more than to have his
work admired and what q helpful
thing It is to keep ones hands and
head occupied even at the age of 85.-

Herrick, of the Supreme Court, confirmed TO-
day the report of ex-Judge Robert Earl OF the

between the attorneys of the State and the law
yers Of the corporations that there should ne
argument before Justice Herrick and no
further opposition TO the Franchise Tax law un-
I'll the Appellate Division Of the Supreme Court
should be reached. Then, however, there will
be argument once more on the constitutionality
OF the law and also before the Court Of APP
peals II was stated to-day that the corpora

Franchise Tax act finally before the Supreme
Court Of the United States. The of SILL
100000 in taxes is involved in the case.
The State was represented before Justice Her

Deputy Attorney General Conan moved for
the confirmation of the report of ex-Judge Earl.

however, to agreement that certain findings
which ex-Judge Earl had refused to make
should be included in the judgment of the Su-
preme Court, with the statement that the Su-
prerne Court also would not accept these find
ings. The findings desired by the corpora tions
were in regard to the allowances that should be
made for the increased value OF corporation
property in New-York, owing to the superior
management of that property.

by an Indian boy. He also by Henry
O'Neill, a rancher at the time. While Tracy
was stealing by old roads and trails back from
EnumencIaw the bloodhounds were stampede
to Palmer Junction The outlaw had an open field
before him The few guards who were left in the
vicinity OF Auburn could not cover all the intricate
approaches from Enumenclaw. The territory that
Tracy covered phenomenally large. and when
he reached the ridge OF Muckleshoot he was un-
doubtedly too fatgued to continue further. Other
wise nothing lay In his way toward Seattle.
