BOATMEN REMOVING
CRAFT FROM WATER

Launch owners, fearing that their
boats would be frozen in the river,
yesterday began to drag them to
shore and haul them to their respec-
tive dry docks for the winter. Four
boats were taken out of the river
yesterday and one this morning.
Because of the wind this was a
rather difficult undertaking yester-
day, and several of the men were
thoroughly drenched with the icy
waters of the river before they had
accomplished their tasks.

EMPTY PAIL CRY

Rock Island Contractor Seeks
in Vain for Men to Take
Jobs.
DON'T WANT WORK, CLAIM
Finally, in Desperation, Appeals to
Police, and Lone Prospect
Proves False Alarm

The calamity howl which is being
raised by the men who claim there
is no work TO be secured in the city
is a false alarm, according TO D. F.
limerick, the contractor, who has
had on his gum shoes and has been
doing the Sherlock Gluck stunt for
the past few days in search for the
elusive laborers in the vineyard of
cellar excavation.
He claims that the majority of
the fellows who are going around
peddling that empty dinner pail
stuff, and who are springing the old
one about my darling chee-ild, lit
tie Susan, with her pale and enact
ated face pressed against the win
dow pane, longing for a crust Of
bread, or anyway, a porterhOuse
steak" would actually lapse into q
state of coma, if you but mentioned
to them the word work" which he
claims is not included in their vo-
cabulary.
CALLS On THE POLICE.
Limerick is excavating a cellar at
Eighteenth avenue and Twenty-sec-
ond street. and has been unable, thus
far, to get men to help him out on
the job. This morning, in despera-
ton, he called up the police station
and asked if there was any knight
of the road there who had sought for
shelter the past eve that would be
willing to WELD a pick and shovel
for a nominal pecuniary emolument-
The police asked the list of eligibles,
but the general concensus of opin-
ion seemed to De that the engaging
in vulgar manual labor would be
akin to casting a blemish on their
caste and would place them on a
lower plane, along with the rabble,
including workingmen of all kinds.
ONE PROMISES; FALLS DOWN.
One man. however, did consent TO
help out, so limerick sat around for
three hours this morning waiting for
his find TO put in an appearance, but
when the bell in the steeple tOlled
the hour of 10. he gave up all hope
He says there is no hope for pros
porous country until the men will
roll up their shirt sleeves and per-
spire for q living.
