The cashier in the printing office
is necessarily very busy man. His
duties are like senatorial candidates,
many. The title cashier, is foreign
t. his work, but his working name
would seem cold and harsh in print.
and it will not be sounded. The
cashier is expected to be early at
the scene of his labors, as it takes
an early start to get the printing Of
flee warmed up by noon with box
stall stove fed on exchanges and
dead copy. He has little tl1ue to
sleep during the. dav, and 1t night.
he dreams that the BREWER and nom
pareil cases have Eeen mix,l, and
that the mortgage sale, which is
gum drops to print shop, will have
to be erected in minion. Besides
building the fires, once a month, he
has to sweep out and empty the tin
pail full of type that has accumulat-
ed on the floor, into the river. He
| is expected to know everything in
one breath and nothing in another.
On the outside, he has to swear to
the circulation of the paper through
microscope, and on the inside, sets
the counter ahead when an enemy
approaches. He also sets the Rurl
ington railroad ad and the Bucklen
arnica salve notice; uses piece of
a knife blade for a rule, and fixes
the fire between the line. He runs
the grippers over the type several
times during the season, and prints
a box of envelopes on the wrong
side twice every autumn; he files
away the stereotype plate where it
can't be found and cuts a nick on
his stick when he leaves off for din
ner All this and more too, is he
called upon to do before he rakes in
the few silver souvenirs that keep
him from eating. roller composition
during the next six days of labor.
A large majority of chicken hunters
going out for a long trip after the
festive prairie hen, pay too much at
tention to dogs and guns and too
little attention to their wagon. Last
year, l went out in a wagon, that
had very few conveniences. There
was no bath or quiet places to lay
down between shots. The dogs rode
under our feet and the butter and
aXel wheel grease were thrown to-
gether more or less. 1t was hard
wagon to get out of for any one US
ed to living on the ground floor.
This year, we have wagon built
for comfort and refreshments. The
box, proper, is twenty-five feet long,
but there are a number of additions
chen has been thrown up. 1t is Sew
eral feet high and gives the wagon
the appearance of a gravel train
with red caboose behind it. This
has been built with great care and
nails to be occupied by things to eat
and extract of hay for the horses.
There is only one proper way to
get into this box, but a stranger if
he was in a hurry, would not have to
wait long. if he had an axe. Back
of this box is a porch, which will
be very convenient to come out and
sit on in the afternoon. This porch
will be furnished with a sack of
oats. The ordinary or front part of
the wagon is furnished with tall seats
with broad backs and pneumatic cush-
ions, for seven days on plain board,
has often made a man change his
stopping place. The dog kennel in
the basement of the wagon, is a
very handy arrangement 1t is divid-
ed into three bins each to be occu-
pied by a dog; each bin has a fold
ing door and they will unfold by pull
ing straps from the drivers seat.
When door is unfolded, a dog drops
out, i, and is supposed to 8stle out
and hunt. One dog at a time, or
three dogs at a time, can easily be
dropped. In case dog goes under a
wheel and is killed, his bin will be
used to carry dead birds in, and if
it is thought they are sprouting, they
can easily be lost. There is a sys-
tenn of waterworks connected with
this wagon that is clearly handy. The
old method of digging a five-gallon
stone jug out from under a lot of
horse blankets is tiring. A barrel
is attached to the hind spring of the
wagon, which is kept constantly full
of every day water. A hydraulic ram
forces this water through the differ
ent apartments of this wagon, and
what is not used for other purposes
is emptied into the dogs. will al

looks like pile driver, is the OBJ

vatory is plainly furnished with a
peg to hold on to. The driver is ex-
