him a gold-heade cane.
Now and then it will happen in any
sky-scraper that man will get in and
convey the impression that he is
widower of ten years standing. He will
send bouQuetSand boxes of candy to the
typists and stenogra piers, and later on
will invite them out to lunch. He will
become so friendly with them that he
will ask them to call him Harry or
James. Then, some day, a little old
woman will appear in the corridor,
claim to be his wife and the mother
of his seven children. and demand to
be taken up to his office at once. In
such cases the position of the elevator
boy is an embarrassing one. He feels
som ething is due the wife. and yet
he doesn't want to give the husband
away and make scandal in the build

the wife in the corridor while I hurried
up to warn the husband and let the

her reception. If there is no living

every time. Elevator boys do not al
ways graduate into the diplomatic
corps, but they get reputation that
enhances their value.
In every sky-scraper there are kick
ers. The elevator runs too fast or too
slow; the boy is called careless; the en-
gineer is charged with drunkenness
even the weather is too good or too bad.
No boy running an elevator should be
drawn into any discussion. Let the
ktckers kick, but let him attend strictly
to business. When he becomes United
States senator he will have every op-
portunity to shoot off his mouth
There will be religious and political
discussions as the cage ascends or de-
sends. The opinion of the elevator boy
will be asked for but he shouldn't butt
in. Butt out is his play until the sign
comes right.
No elevator boy who starts out right

or to buy her candy and flowers. She
leads him on and on. and at length,
when bankruptcy stares him in the
face she gives him the hal ha!ha! and
throws him overheard and he is a hu-
man wreck.
The temptation to get rich quick is
must guard himself at all costs. Mil
lionaires are continually leaving sat
chefs containing $4,000 in the cage
At almost ever hour valuable docu-

their wallets and women their pack
ages of diamonds with the utmost free
dom, and it is for the boy to gather
them all uD in bushel basket and
wait for the owner to return When
it is said of an elevator boy that he
has returned a million dollars worth
of money and valuables in year then
the owner of the sky-scraDer begins
to sit uD and take notice and wonder
why he hasn't offered the lad a part
nership before.
The elevator boy must ever have
before him the feeling that some day
the cry of fire is going to resound
through the big building. He will be
called from every floor. and men and
women will almost go mad as they
fight to get into the cage. Then is the
moment for him to show his nerve
There must be no excitement on his
part. He stands on the burning deck.
He keeps his head. AS hundred ex-
