SAVING THE SPiLES.
A Problem In Wharf Building Which
Seems Hard, but Isn't.


When in building a wharf they
have got the spiles driven you see
them first standing in rows and
sticking up above the water at un-
even heights and with their tops all
frayed. Then the surplus upper
length of the spiles has to be sawed
OF so that the stringers upon
which the wharf planking will be
laid can rest upon them. And the
question is. How do they manage
to saw of each spile SO that it will
have perfectly fiat and level head,
and how do they manage to get all
the spiles sawed of at exactly the
same height9 They do this in the
simplest way in the world.
The spiles all driven, they spike
along to each row, at little dis
lance below where they are to cut
them of, planks, upon which they
lay crosswise other planks to make
q scaffolding to work on. Then
along each row of spiles at the
height where they are to be cut of
they draw q leveling line, which,
drawn taut and leveled up, touches
every spile in the row at exactly
the same height, and then to each
spile they nail two smooth topped
crosspieces, little strips of board,
one on either side of the spile, like
the crosstrees on a mast, only short
er, these cross strips being nailed
on SO that their tops just touch the
underside of leveling line. And
then the sawyers, with their long
crosscut saws, worked by a man at
each end, come. along.
The crosspieces nailed to the
spile show exactly where it is to be
cut off, and they serve also as
guides and supports for the saw in
cutting the spile off true. Resting
the saw blade on their projecting
ends at one side, the men saw and
saw until they have sawed the spile
off. And SO they keep on until they
have got them all sawed off and
ready for the stringpieces. New

A HARD WON BET.
Carrying Four Bricks Half . Mile 10
Not an Easy Task.


sThe hardest won bet l ever
made" remarked the travelling man
as he shook the ashes off his cigar,
"was to carry four bricks half q
mile. That sounds like a simple
thing to do, doesn't it? Well, you
try it and you will find out whether
it is OF not. OF course the manner
of carrying the bricks is important.
A man bet me that | couldn't carry
two bricks in each hand from where
we were back to the hotel and put
them up on the counter. The
bricks were to be put side by side
and grasped, two in each hand, be-
tween the thumb and fingers, the
fingers pointing down. l was not
allowed to stop and rest nor to put
the bricks down.
@Well, thought /, that's So easily
earned, SO l took the bet and start
ed. For a quarter of the distance
it was easy, and already felt that
81 in my pocket. But then my
fingers began to grow tired. The
muscles between my forefingers and
thumbs were soon aching terribly.
My arms began to pain me and to
throb like mad. i found myself
setting my teeth together, and the
cords in my neck were in a high
state of tension. When came
within hundred yards of the hotel
there was scarcely an inch in my
whole body that was not aching as
ii I had been stuck full of pins.
81 don't know how l managed to
90 that last little distance. i could
no longer stand erect, and l was
trembling like leaf, and yet the
other fellow was alongside, laugh
ing as if to split his sides. And
when I got into the hotel it was all
could do to raise first one hand
and then the other and put the
bricks on the counter. / know that
] couldn't have gone fifty feet far
ther. l got the 81, but the next
day / could scarcely move, and I
didn't get over the soreness for .
week. 1t looks easy, but just you
try it."-Detroit Free Press.

Why No Railroad Legislation?

For ten years the Interstate Com
merce Commission has been asking for
an enlargement of its powers, that IT
might prevent rebates and discrimina-
tons, but a Republican Senate and a
Republican House of Representatives
were unmoved*by its ~entreaties. In 1900
the Republican national convention was
urged to- inderse, the demand fer rail-
way legislation. but It's platform was
silent on The Subject Even in 1904,
the convention gave no pledge to rem
ely these abuses. When the President
,fnany asked fort legislation he drew
his inspiration from three Democratic
national platforms. and he received
more cordial support from the Demo-
Gratis than from the Republicans. The
Republicans in the Senate deliberately
defeated several amendments offered by
Senator LaFollette and supported by
the Observation-Disclosures e~mbodying
Legislation asked by the Interstate Conn
mercei Compassion. One of these
amendments authorized the ascertain
ment of the value of the railroads, This
amendment was not only defeated by
the Senate, but it was overwhelmingly
rejected by the recent Republican ma
tional convention, and the Republican
candidate has sought to rescue his party
from tile disastrous results of this act
by expressing himself. in a qualified
way, In favor of ascertaining the value

What is necessary to make this a
