A subway peril was revealed in New
York, whers seepage of water into the
tube from the cellarway of the burned
Parker skyscraper brought the mana
gers of the line to a realization of the
danger, and caused them to shut off
traffic south of Thirty-second street.

given way, thousands of tons of water
would have converted the subway into
a sewer and swept everything before it.
This condition of things may possibly be
peculiar to New York, but the incident
is worthy of note nevertheless. wherever
subways are under construction.

 The canvassing agent has done more to advance the interest of the people than all the printers, publishers, edl- tors, teachers, lecturers and merchants combined. He is the teacher of the people by object lessons on most all subjects man is interested in. There is hardly good article or implement, improvement, invention or discovery that to-day stands favorably before the people that was not placed there pri- marily and principally by the efforts of the canvassing agent. It is he who paved the way when the road was the most difficult, who taught to believe when the people were most unbelieving and to-day, when the sales of these articles amount up into the millions, it can all be traced to the nucleus formed by the Roi pioneer, the can wasting agent. The use of stone coal, as it was called within the memory of men yet living. was not known until agents were sent out to canvass direct ly among the people, not alone to sell it, both to teach its use to those igno- rant of how to build fires, to demon- strate it's cheapness compared to wood fuel. The parlor heater and the cook ing stove, the sewing and the knitting machines, the iron blow, the steel point, the threshing machine and the flaming mill, the reaper and the mower, the corn sheller and hay rake, the sulky blow and riding cultivator, as well as the drill and needle, were each and all introduced in turn by the can wasting agent, and great were his efforts in convincing the people of their superiority over Dads way and their absolute necessity.
