By Walt Mason

When days are hot the iceman brings
his little chunk of hail, and he has heal
ing in his wings, and in his pockets kale.
Through crowded streets, ii busy marts,
he bears the boon of ice, and, in the full
ness of our hearts, we kick about the
price. To sicBrooms, when we're nearly
dead, he brings his precious freight; the
patients then sit up in bed, and roar
about the weight. In tenements, where
poor folks dwell, his dripping load he
bears; his patrons then rear up and
yell, and throw him down the stairs.
He makes it possible to live when sum-
mer heat is so,e, and what reward do
people give? The protest and the roarl
You surely ought to get. the bounce, -
they cry, when he is round: 'you bring
US only half an ounce, and charge US for
a pound!" But patiently the iceman
goes, serene, remote and wise, and dailv
brings us bergs and foes of microscopic
size. The multitude around him roars.
and boots him as he drills; be brings
his hailstones to our doors, and then
sends in his bills Why roast the ice

We folks should proud and grateful be.

SAFETY OF RAILWAY TRAVEL.

Editor FL Paso Herald:
The safest place a man can be is
inside of railway passenger train,
wooden cars not excepted. Much is
said by the press about the large
number of people killed by moving
railway trains. The statistics of the
interstate commerce commission for
1912 show that if there had not been
a single accident to railway trains.
90 percent of all the people killed by
the trains would have been killed any
way. The number of trespassers on
the right of way killed was seven
times as great as all the others killed,
and 80 times as great as the number
OF passengers killed in train accidents.
large part. of accidents to en-
ployeS is due to a disregard of the
elementary rules of safety. Train ac-
cldents are generally due to a viola
ton of the rules of operation. OF the
46 train collisions in 1872 13 occur
red on lines having block signals
which on relative mileage basis is by
no means creditable to safety devices
and is chargeable principally to a dis
ter The human element is still the
most important factor in safe opera
ton of railway trains.
Of passenger cars purchased by rail-
ways in 1912, 80 percent We're of steel
construction, and in the present year
81 percent of passenger cars under
construction are being made of steel
Railways are ordering steel cars faster
than the manufacturers can make

on a helmet, slide down a brass pole
and catch the rear of the hose cart as it
goes past. He then rides swiftly to his
task like any millionaire holding on
with one hand and buttoning his shirt
with the other. Arriving at his job, he
takes a large impetuous hose, hoists it up
a 80 foot ladder and squirts it on the
flames, brushing the cinders, burning
shingles and plate glass out of his eyes
with deft movements of his hand Some
times he climbs down from the ladder
and at other times he falls into the fire
and has to be dug out from under 1000
tons of hot brick. But he does not get
any bonus for the latter feat
When the fireman is not squirting
water he is climbing up a red hot wall
and rescuing beautiful ladies and fat
gentlemen who have awakened too late
and have found the elevator not run
ming. The fireman who cannot climb up
II stories by a water spout and carry
two women and baby over a plank to
safety would be jeered by his comrades.
Some fremen live to a fat old age
and are buried in one piece by their
sorowing comrades after they have died
comfortably in bed. But many of them
do not return from the fire until several
days afterwards when the ruins have
cooled sufficiently to allow the under
taker and the coroner to enter. For this
reason we do not gaze with envy upon
the fremen as he loafs around the station
in his shirt sleeves doing nothing all day
and waiting patiently for the chance to
allow large brick house to fall on him.

The Fireman
By GEORGE FITCH.
Author of AT Good Old Siwash-S
-rHE fireman is one of the mo:

C&H HE fireman is one of the most
prominent members of our leisure
= class. His duty is to loaf % hours
of the day and to twist the tail of the
fire fiend with great vigor and expression
during the oath hour.
If the fire fend would only leave his
tail exposed during regular hours life
would be almost all joy for the fireman,
who would attend the ball game every
day and 90 on river excursions at night
But he never knows when the twisting is
to be done. Sometimes he will rise at 3
a. m. to squirt industriously until break
fast time; and then again he will drop
half gnawe,1 ear of sweet corn at dinner
time and travel four miles over a cob
blestone pavement on the back of hose
cart in order to subdue a 1everish coal
shed. Because of this uncertainty the
fireman can do nothing but hang around
the premises and wait. Waiting is the
fireman's chief occupation. He is more
patient than the man who has been
promised a job by the Democratic candi-
date for congress and who has been hold
ing on the knob of the white house door
since March 4th.
Waiting for work is also the life job
of many thousand tired men who have
learned to ask for it in Volapuk so that
they will not be understood. Why then
do not these men rush nobly into the
ranks of the iremen? 1t is because the
fireman gets his work after waiting
for it.
The chief duties of fireman when
he finds work are to arise, leap nimbly
into a large-legged pair of pants, slam
