teeth. With the aid of halper,
Pickett chased the steer until he was
in front of the grand stand. Then he
jumped from the saddle and landed
on the back of the animal, grasped its
horns. and brought it TO stop within
dozen feet. BY remarkeable dis
play of strength he twisted the

straight in to the air. the animal bel

Again and again the negro was jerk

But on Saturday, after five busy
days, we can almost hear wire cry
ing out to give it rest. 1t seems to
oppose US. 1t is rebellious. Singular,
you say? Not at all. Just nature"
Don't you think it is the operator
that needs the rest, and not so much
the wire and the Instrument"
mot a bit of it. Put a. tired-out
man against tired-out wire and you'll
do mighty little business. Put a tired
out man against a rested wire and
you'll fare nearly as ILL., Put a rested
man against a tired-out wire and you'll
work him to death in no time.
Engineers will tell you that their
locomotives get tired. They become
tracksore, as much as race horse
does. They don't steam SO well as
when rested, nor make such good time.
"One Of the famous railroad mag
mates Of the present day owes his rapid
promotion to the head Of great sys-
tenn of roads to the fact that he kept
his trains on time. Other men could
not understand how he did it, until he
explained that ne not only gave his
train crews a rest, but never allowed
his engines to get tired. Even then
some of the smart ones smiled. But
they'll all come to his theory In the
end.
This will be a different old world
when it is 9llly understood that
metals get tired as well as human be-
ings. A learned German professor has
just informed the world that he has
found life in metals stone, wood, ETC.,
that those substances actually possess
the sense of feeling. 1t nearly makes
one laugh, doesn't it? But unques-
tionably he is on the road to some
great discovery.

Guns get very tired and refuse to

years ago was due to WEAKNESS. 1t

Both the tuners are skilled musicians.
Mr.. Linehan plays the violin. piano and

power of sight by day, formerly rode

Mr. Branch is a son of William Branch
prominent among st. Paul pioneers, and
has lived in ST. Paul half a century.
Young Branch attended the FAribault
school for the blind from 1868 to 1873
Mr.. Linehan entered the same school
twelve years later. Both are grateful for
the thorough instruction they received at
the institution. The musical education
] got there says Mr.. Branch, enabled
me to become a tuner, one of the best
vocations a blind man can take up.
Blind Women Never Go Alone.
IT'S an odd fact, though, that blind
girls, who are usually extremely clever
they learn even algebra and geometry by
mental exercises alone-cant master
tuning. Perhaps they lack the physical
strength. Never does blind woman try
to walk alone outside of her own house.
She never has confidence enough, I take
it. But she often succeeds as a profess
sional musician and teacher. and some
blind girls become first class cooks and
housekeepers. There's ST. Paul blind
girl l could name who is competent to
teach a high school class geometry,
Latin and psychology, or to cook the most
delicious dessert 1 think 1 ever tasted.
She used to go to our school. 1 believe
she's a member of our alumni association,
