Gets Job; Dies First Day.

John ]. Cullen had been out Of
work since January. Almost every
day he had applied for work from the
contractors building a bridge across
the Passaic river between Belleville
and Arlington, N. ].
An extra man was needed and the
contractors put Cullen to work
Pleased at getting a job, he worked
with zest until noon. AS he was leav-
ing the bridge for lunch he fell into
the water a few feet from shore.
The water was shallow. Cullen
rose to his feet and staggered to
shore. Then he dropped again. When
mel reached him he was dead. He
was thirty-five years old, and lived

Consequently the boys learned the
