planes these days. There's Johnson.
He's on the wagon now, you know.
Used to be an awful sosh and gener-
ally had fighting immersion.

A couple Of weeks passed by and he
kept proving it whenever the buying
sign was lifted. Johnson's on the
wagon people began telling each 9TH

went the good word. Well in short
time that tad had built up swell
reputation for sobriety by the moral
strength route. Men spoke about it
with tears in their eyes, and first
think we knew Johnson ahad his old
soft job offered him again.
But I can't stand Johnson any
more. He's so blamed proud of it he
talks Of nothing else. Whenever that
fellow gets together with us he holds

QUAINT OLDCUSTOM.
BUILDERS GosslP.ARoUT ORIGIN
OF, THE ROOF TREE.
Several Opinions Are Given and the
Reader Is Left at Liberty to Be-
iieve Any or All OF
Il Them. %s>4s ~ =

On the highest point of New York
skyscraper, the framework Of which
had just been finished, small Amer
lean flag was hanging,a tiny speck of
color against the sky. Many OF those
who passed the new structure saw the
flag, but perhaps none of them knew
just what it s1gn1f1ed. Its meaning is
that the building has been topped
off, or that the highest point has
been reached, and the flag. is little
reminder. to the boss that it is time to
treat. The general rule is to hang a
small branch of evergreen In winter
from the apex of the roof, when the
roof tree has been put up, but in the
building of modern skyscrapers in the
heart Of city like New York a
branch Is a luxury, and the getting
of one might lead to all sorts of
trouble with the police and park au-
thorities. -
Il think the idea comes from olden
times when they built the sailing yes
sels," says Brooklyn contractor.
You know the mast Is the last part
Of the work. In smoothing it off they
always left the few twigs on the top
until the mast had been set. Then q
sailor climbed up and cut the top off
and fitted on the iron cap which keeps
the mast from splitting. This meant
that the work was finished"
Another prominent builder thinks
the custom comes from the time when
matched houses were built and the
roof tree was actually tree from the
surrounding forest. When that was
put on it meant that the highest part
of the building had been reached and
that the frame was all up. But with
this idea not all contractors are
agreed, as the next opinion given will
show.
1T Is a Dutch custom, and only
about 80 years DID," says another
builder. IF the contractor is liberal
he treats the men. There was time
when they rolled key of beer down
to the building, but now it is done
more quietly. The flag simply calls
attention to the boss that the work has
been dOne.'
"Stone," one of the trade magazines,
classes 1t under Rites and Ceremo-
MES of Building" in a class with the
old sacrifices of establishing the fire.
place and laying the corner stone; and
in the account of the building of the
Dutch fort in early times it was reck-
oned that one-eighteenth of the cost
OF the fort was spent in treating the
workmen, who demanded beer as each
specific part of the building was fin
ished.
These are the several opinions given
regarding this quaint custom and the
reader Is at liberty to believe any one
or all of them, just as he likes, for no
matter what he believes or does not
believe men will continue to add roof
trees to the crest of their work in
constructing homes and business
places for the worlds busy jewellers.
