THE RED DAB OF DEATH.
Tragic Mark on the Steel Skeleton of
the Skyscraper.

Traeic Mark on the Steel Skeleton of
the Skyscraper.
'See that big blob of scarlet paint?"
said the engineer as he pointed to 4
girder high up in the skeleton of the
new skyscraper That red spot means
that one of the men working on the
building was killed by the girder
sweeping him off the structure while
being put in position"
The visitor craned his neck and saw
q rough patch of vermilion paint on
one of the floor Orders up on the six
teenth story 1T must be a dangerous
life he said to his engineering friend
Yes. Those men up there are work
ing under the chance of instant death
at any moment. They'll walk along
the topmost girder. 300 feet above the
sidewalk-a little path of slippery iron
five inches wide-and will lean out
ward against the wind. You or i
couldn't do it for a second.
Now and again there's an accident
A chap Slips A worker gets hit by a
swinging girder and flung off Anoth-
er man takes an incautious step and
falls off into eternity. The men work
ing near by do their best TO get at him
if he manages to grab the girder he's
falling from, and there are some swift
and reckless races with death to get
to their comrade at any cost in the five
or ten seconds allowed them while
strong fingers are sliding away from
slippery beam fange. If. the worst
happens and the man falls in spite of
their efforts. then they apply the dab
of red paint, and the ironworkers call
it a day. They don't speak much of
the man that is gone. as a rule. He's
soon forgotten. The men consider it
fate.
"You'd think, by the way" went on
the engineer, that the higher up these
men worked the more careful they'd
become. They aren't particularly care
full. but they do guard against the
hypnotism of height. One of the men
working on a high girder gets para
lyzed now and again by a sudden fear
that holds him motionless and still on
his iron beam.
''The men look out for this sort of
thing and the remedy is to distract
his attention by rough blow on the
back or in some cases by exciting him
to anger through any means in their
power When the man gets fighting
mad he is freed from the paralysis OF
terror or whatever you may choose to
call it. He gets up from his girder to
make a rush for the other fellow to
do him up. and the moment he is safe
he is restrained by the other men.
whenever you see skyscraper
framework" concluded the engineer
"each dab of scarlet paint on the iron
means that some man has. come to his
death. Every skyscraper and every
bridge is the monument to some little
group of unknown workers, laboring
at dizzy heights and dallying with sud-
den death as part of their days work"

A Witty Reply.

Whenever the United States supreme
court on hearing the argument of coun-
sci for plaintiff in error is entirely
satisfied that he has no case the chief
justice is apt to say to counsel for de-
PENDANT in error that the court does
not care to hear further argument.
At one time Hon. Matthew Carpenter,
from Wisconsin, was counsel for
plaintiff in error and opened the case.
Before he was through the court was
satisfied that there was nothing in it.
and so when he had concluded and
counsel for defendant in error arose
Chief Justice Waite said, 1.-THE court
does not care to hear any further ar
gument."
Counsel for the other side was a lit
tie deaf and, although noticing that the
chief justice spoke, did not hear what
he had said and. turning to Mr.. Car
penter, who sat beside him, asked
what had been said
"Oh, hang it," replied Carpenter in
tones audible to the bench 1.-THE chief
justice said he would rather give you
the case than hear you talk"

His Punishment.

Colley Cibber, known for some
years by the name of Master Colley,
made his first appearance on the
stage in a very subordinate situa-
ton. After waiting impatiently for
the prompter's notice he by good
fortune obtained the honor of car
rying a message on the stage to one
of the principal actors of that day,
whom he greatly Disconnected by his
awkwardness.
Betterton in anger inquired who
it was that had committed such a
blunder Drones, the prompter, re-
piled:
''Master Colley.'
tEThen fine him." rejoined Better
ton.
sWhy, sir, he has no salaryp'
'No? Then put him down 10
shillings week and fine him 81

Of rewards and punishments Cibber
owed the first money, he received

Slang is tabooed in the home Of a

The other evening at dinner the
mother, father and daughter drifted
into the vernacular, and fresh
start was necessary. The little girl
started it. 'I'm not stuck on this

ODD CLASSIFICATION.
The Way Carload of Tramps Wa'
Designated In Mexico.

The Way Carload of TramPs was
Designated In Mexico.
In Mexico the billing of railroad
freight requires a knowledge and
precision which can only be attain
ed by years Of practice. This is due
to the peculiar classification OF va
rious articles and the different rates
Of customs duties. A case once oc-
cured which severely taxed the in
genuity Of the station agent, al
though he finally succeeded in meet
ing all requirements.
The town was overrun with
tramps, and the council determined
that steps must be taken to rid the
city of them. 1t was finally decd-
ed to round them up and ship them
out Of the country. 1t would be
too expensive to purchase tickets,
SO they concluded to hire stock cars
and ship their tramps as freight.
The cars were procured, and by
the aid of the police the tramps
were gathered, but then the cues
ton arose as to how the shipment
should be designated on the bill of
lading.
The term persons could not be
used, as it would conflict with the
state law relative to proper accom-
modations for the travelling public,
and it would also be in violation OF
the company's rules governing the
rates Of passenger traffic. CHAR
ketable commodities would not do,
as that would subject the carload to
a heavy duty upon crossing the tar
if zone. Again, they would have to
be classified as ''perishable'' or the
dispatcher might order the car side
tracked along the line.
But fortunately there is GUS
toms law which exempts certain
kinds Of curiosities from duty, and
so, after much consideration, the
tramps were billed and forwarded
as so many hundredweight of ''per-
ishable curiosities-unft to eat"
