THE PRINTERS OF TO-DAY.
A Tribute That viii Appeal TO All
Who know Them.
(Kansas City Journal.)

OF all skilled craftsmen the present
day printers are unquestionably at
the head in individual intelligence and
in collective conservation and fairness
in their dealings with their employ
ers. Their standard of unionism is
probably higher than that OF any
other labor organization and for that
reason there is less friction between
employee and the employer than is
the case, probably, with any other
branch of organized labor. Individual
instances of unfairness are uniformly
condemned by the national and inter
tional authorities and the wore" of a
typographical union comes about as
near being as good as its bond" as
that of any in the whole realm of or
ganized labor.
The printer" of to-day follows a
trade that is not very far from a pro
fession. 1t would be a reflection upon
his intelligence if he did not avail
himself of the educational opportuni-
ties that are inherent and unacceptable
in the course of his duties. The
trade" itself has progressed at a Very
rapid rate and the mechanical status
of the newspaper of to-day is as far
superior to that of the paper OF %
years ago as is the linotype compos-
itor of to-day superior to the wander
ing print" of the good old days The
pcripatetiC character" who has fur
nished uhcounted columns of myth
and fable, ancdotc and yarn" has
for the most part passed away and the
modern printer is not the more or
less merry roysterer who was wont
to drift in on the brakcbeam and drift
out in the "side-door pullman The
modern printer is sober, industrious
and gentlemanly. In this world his
is the Immortality that belongs to
those who live in fcllowmen cnlight-
ened and made better for their living,
and as for the neXt world, his com
rades may turn a rule in reyerent
confidence that the best part Of the
STORY" is to come.

ROW to slide Down a Rope.

Sliding down a rope is not so simple
as it seems. Few boys know how To
do it properly. If you try to descend
by letting the rope slide through your
hands the friction will burn the palms
so that you will have TO let 60 after "A
few feet. If you try to lower your
weight from one handhold 10 another
YOU are sure to become tired and will
be forced to drop. You cannot slide
with the rope between your knees. for
the swaylng OF your body will jerk
the rope out OF the clutch Of your
knees and then you are likely 10 fall
The easiest and safest method you
can employ Is that used by firemen
and sailors. Standing upright. throw
out your right leg and give 1t turn
round the rope. Next put the rope
In the crook OF your right elbow and
clasp it tightly. not in your hand, but
III your arm.
In that way you can slide to safety
without the slightest trouble The rome
does not touch any part OF the body
that is not protected by clothing and
your speed can be regulated by either
strengthening or cramplng your leg
Once learned, this method of sliding
down a rope may prove In an emer.
gency the means of saving your life
or the lives Of other persons.-Youth's
