The MiddIen1an
BY Walt Mason

When the world seems dark and
gloomy as a hearse, and the luck is daily
growing worse and worse. then it makes
our lives more pleasant if there is a
straw man present, who must take the
roast We hand him. and the curse Just
at present man Is rending beard and
robe, since it costs so much to live
upon this globe, and we've found a
worthy victim, and we all have punched
and kicked him, and the Middleman
must do the stunt of Job. Oh, the Mid
dleman we've chosen as the goat. and
we strive to get our fingers on his
throat, and as David slugged Goliath we
shall slug this foul pariah if we ever
get our clutches on his coatl When we
take slice of liver from the pan, and
the butchers swollen bill we wildly
scan, then we hoist the crOssbones ban
ner, saying in a warlike manner: Eve
must go and lynch a moldy Middle
mani" When man buys suit of clothes
he walls and rants: q am paying seven
prices for my pants On a smoking red
hot griddle should. be placed the man o.
middle, with his sisters and his cousins
and his aunts!" And the MiddIeman, he
through the alleys sneaks; not q friend
IN all the city to him speaks; he is
summed, or he Is greeted bv lombard
ment oft repeated, by a chorus of indig-
nant howls and shrieks Copyright.

When times are hard and the owner
of a railroad finds that he can't afford
to keep his private yacht in commission
he cuts the pay of the section hand to
SI-l0 a day and the latter says nothing,
not having learned the English language
as a rule. Section hands have saved
hundreds of American railroads from
bankruptcy by getting their pay cut to
SI.IO a day.
Section hands are so called because
they work with their hands and let the
rOadmaster do the worrying. The sec
ton hand wears a shovel all day and
takes it to bed with him at night. When
he lays aside his shovel it is a sign that
