He began building the Skids which

told him to keep on scrouging and some

Our Hero fooled away his time in
School until he was all of eleven years
old, when he became associated with
one Blodgett in the Grocery Business,
at a weekly Insult of Two Bones.

Coal-Oil Lamps or watching the New

fields and the hustling world. They are
links which tell the story Of the govern
rnent's pacing beside the strides of COM
Terce. links that have enabled Uncle
Sam TO almost dictate to the worlds
commerce.
The reason is revealed in the facts.
Each year there are millions of tons OF
coal poured into these hopperS and shot
into the cavernous depths of great YES
sci holds. steamers, schooners and barges.
TO be transported elsewhere to turn the
wheels of commerce or to be used to pro-
pei those vessels engaged in that trans
portation. Without those hoppers Uncle
Sam could never have hoped to have
kept astride of the pace set by the de-
ma nds of modern times.

10 the coal men. and especially the
marine coal men. it is a simple opera
tion. this loading of vessel with the
mineral upon which the world so much
depends. But TO the layman it is moth
ing short of wonderful. a marvellous piece
of engineering. Perhaps this is because
very few laymen have the opportunity to
see it. The coal piers at Uncle Sans
great coal ports are generally situated
at points distant from the cities by
few miles. They have not the chance to
see how thousands of tons of coal are
handled as though they were a mere
wagon load, how fifty-ton cars are
juggled as though they were mere shovels
and made to perform feats that the en-
gineers of decade ago would have de-
..lared impossible, or at least foolhardy.
Thus Uncle Sam can proudly say to
the ships which come to his coal ports
for aid: II can supply you within a
few hours And in saying that he
does not mean simply to load the ves-
sci in that many hours. He means that
the ship can be docked. that the re-
