st want to get a Job" remarked a
ragged looking Wanderer to Mr.. Phelps,
who runs printing office on the eleventh
floor Of the Edison building, last Friday.
Mr. Phelps wanted man to run his limo
type machine and had advertised for one.
He looked at the man who, with unshaven
face and ragged clothes, might have been
the traditional ''hobo'' just escaped from
the pages of some funny paper.
What can you do?" asked the pro-
prietor Of the printing esta blishment, sus-
tpiciously.
The applicant hitched up his ragged
trousers, smiled sheepishly and allowed
linotype machine. His statement that
he could operate the intricate machine
was received with large grain of salt,
but as the printer needed man badly,
he consented reluctantly to let the un-
shaven one try his hand.
The crew in the office gathered around
with incredulous smiles as the new man
set down at the stool in front OF one OF
the big machines. - =.
A sheet of copy was given to him, and
after few preliminary movements over
the keyboard, he started in. The hooking
smiles soon changed to looks of wonder,
and then to expressions of admiration.
The man at the machine seemed to lose
himself in his work and the click-click-
crash Of the big type-setting machine was
lost in one continuous rumble as he be-
gan to work the machine up to it's limit
of speed. His fingers fairly few, and al

BURDETTE SAYS. '"LO0K UP"
He Tells the Advantages, of Rainbow
Chasfn s.gtk7. - E'aE'-' y, Il.

sSss--~'f-
Bob" Burdette, one of the best known
contemporary American humorists, lee
tured in the Y. NJ. G. A. course Saturday
evening on Rainbow Chasers." Mr..
Burdette explained that rainbow chasing
was never bad thing and frequently re-
suited in good. Recent discoveries in the
domain OF electricity, he thought, had
been made because of a search after the
apparently unattainable. The man who
never looks up, he said, could see his
feet; and, if he looked into q mine might
view gold or silver, metals, however, that
are worth nothing except to make money
while money in it's turn, is good for little
except to buy seat in the United States
senate. For his part, Mr.. Burdette de-
clared that he could not understand why
any man should want to make that pur-
chase when he could see a really good
prize fight for fifty cents, the allusion to
the Tillman McLaurin imbroglio evoking
hearty round of laughter and applause.
Yesterday afternoon Mr.. Burdette spoke
to men In the Y. NJ. c. A. hall on Mans
Battle Cry.' -.;-l .~.s

present obligations. Bids are being So
licited for the construction of a new din
