il Fi$b.Gye Story.

SOOO otOIy Oh Ou0 Oh the pro-
fession among printers has gone
the rounds of the boys in the East
for a number of years. Tho his
name is not ICY Prosper, we will
use that name for this story.
Cy belongs in Boston, where he
learned his trade, and while he is
well-known IN almost every town
of the New England states, he yet
claims Boston as his home. He
has the reputation of being an ex-
cellent workman, but his fondness
for what is sometimes termed
among printers as the "oiI of JOY"
and a dislike for steady employ
ment, he is a great part of the
time ''on the road"
His travels are most always linn
tied to the New England states
and he invariably ends his trip in
Boston and is as invariably with
out funds when he arrives. But
he always manages by relating a
good "hard luck" story, and the
passing of his union card among
the printers in the different shops,
to get quite little stake without
working for it before he is long in
the city. This custom of Cy's
soon got to be old to the boys
around the newspaper Offices, and
contributions on Cy's card we're
very meagre.
This state of affairs soon set
Cy's inventive mind to work
whereby he might devise some
scheme that would cause the print
ers to be more generous. And
thus it happened.
Cy, with companion, had just
arrived in the city after one of his
trips and the two of them we're
vending their way toward the
Globe Office, when in going along
the street they passed fish mar
ket; and noticing some fsh-eyes
that had been removed from fish
heads, Cy approached the man of
the market and asked permission
to take one of the fish-eyes.
Securing the eye he joined his.
companion who inquired:
what in the world do you want
with fish-eye?"
'Never mind" replied Cy;
"come along; I'll show you how
to get some money"
Without more ado Cy and his
companion proceeded on to their
destination. Arriving at the Globe
building they went around in a
back alley and Cy took the fish
eye and, to the establishment of
his partner began to smear the
blood from it over his face, taking
care to get good portion around
one of his eyes; then taking his
handkerchief he bound the fish.eye
in such a way over his left eye
that just small portion of the
fish-eye was visible. He then said
to his partner:
"Now you take me by the arm
and lead me up to the composing
room of the Globe here"
His partner, still not onto the
scheme and wondering what would
be next, did as requested. Going
into the composing room, the fore
man, who was we'll acquainted
with )Cy, noticed his apparently
pitiable condition and rushed up
to him exclaiming:
"My goodness Cy! What's the
matter?"
Cy, placing his hand up over
the injured" eye, in his most pit
iful voice explained that he had

Washington, Feb. 15.-Thirty-eight

him advisable for the adequate protec-

have been undergoing repairs at Ma

WILL MAKE
A TEST RUN
ROLLING MILLS TO BE STRATED
NEXT WEEK TO SEE THAT
BOILERS ARE ALL RIGHT.
General Foreman to Be Selected in Few
Days and Organization of Working
Force to Begin, Several Old Mill
Men Being Among Applicants for
Old Positions.

1t is the present intention of Superin,
tendent Jacobus of the rolling mills
to start the mill on a trial run next
week, using the little rolls and testing
the boilers, steam pipes and furnaces.
The furnaces have all been rebuilt, the
steam pipes renewed and new boilers
put in the mill, so that he hopes to
have everything shipshape by the first
of March, when he will add a full force
and be able to keep the mills going
with both trains of rolls. The steam
pipes have been covered with asbestos
and are in better shape than they ever
were before. The engines have both
been overhauled, the new boilers will
furnish a large amount of steam and
the trains are in excellent shape.
Mr.. Jacobus has received applica-
tons for a number of positions, many
of the old mill men having applied, and
when he is ready to start he will have
a force of men thoroughly familiar with
lLt hill anu lue hlilu5 OIL WOTh 6Ap6Clbu
to be done. He has not yet selected a
general foreman, but will probably do
so within the next few days, SO that he
may be present when the test run is
made next week. The laborers will be
employed as fast as they are needed.
The upright boiler was moved a few
inches to the south today and is now
in permanent position. The error was
due on an oversight on the part of the
men who drew the plans for the remod-
cling of the mill and not local men.
Additional material is arriving daily,
and the most of it will be on hand
when needed. The machine shop is re-
ceiving the attention of District Fore
man Sullivan of the railroad shops, as
it will be expected to take much of the
repair work now going to the railroad
shops. The force of machinists will
include IS many men as are needed to
do the work at the mill.

He was in his 18th year at that time;
he has hazel eyes and dark hair and

The clipping, evidently a part Of a

the driver did not jump down as was

made no attempt to descend from the
box.
"The station master shouted, Come

driver was dead. Just like stone he sat
