Joys of a Mechanic

Some people may think there
is no joy in the labor performed
by a mechanic. But such peo-
pie have never known what it
is to receive, unbox and set up
a new machine. The farmers
son wearing a pair of new over
alls and carrying in his hand a
new spring bottom oil can may
have some idea in regard to it
but no one else can. There is
a novelty in taking the new
and polished iron and steel out
of the boxes and cut of the
wrappings. There is a rapt-
ure in fitting the frame to-
gether. In these regards base
ball and golf are not nearly so
entertaining. The adjustment
of joints, the Tightening Of
bolts are all a part of the enter
prise of erecting machines.
The man behind the hosting
apparatus and the men with
wrenches in their hip pockets
do not watch the clock. They
forget hunger. The polished
metal shines and the machine
is going together. The men in
the great shops may have
pleasure in building great
presses, but they cannot know
the joy that goes with the work
of putting them together.
And when the climax comes
and the power is thrown on,
the men will be breathless with
interest. Where the wheels
turn without clatter of unneces-
sary noise, everyone will feel
that there has been a triumph.
The printer in the small office
enjoys laying the cases when a
new font of type arrives. The
printer in the far away corner
of the earth may enjoy putting
his Washington hand press to
gether. He is on the top
where he is; he has the best
but he certainly cannot know
much about one machine that
made three car loads of freight.
If he undertook to put it to-
gether he would probably have
some pieces left over.
Every line of work has its
compensations if we are only
able to appreciate them.-Des
