BRASS WORKER HAS LITTLE
HOPE OF GOOD TIMES
Work Scarce and Prospect for I'm
provement Not Reassuring.

LFOb LltdSSuTluR.
Tom Shelby, who lives at 1854 York
street and works at making the brass
parts of locomotive valves three or eight
hours a week. according as he is lucky
or unlucky. He is employed at the Bald
win Locomotive Works Until a year ago
he had steady work. He tells his story
in this way:
Il wouldn't be working If wasn't a
married man The works keep all the
married men they can use, but most OF
US who are working are making stock
Last July the works began to cut down
on time, and we We're working three or
four days week, but those good times
passed, and things have been getting
worse ever since | don't think they can
get any worse than they are now, but
the foremen at the shops say that thev

II hadn't saved up some money. I
couldn't make both ends meet with yybat

give us llft pretty soon. l believe the
works are doing all they can for us. but
do not believe they are getting orders, and
STOCK parts are accommodating all the time
80 this can't keep up much longer.
Twenty-Five locomotives for Russia and
fifteen for France, an order I am fold
came in the other night, is a big order
Tor these days 1t used to be a common
thing to get many orders for more than a
hundred machines. The Pennsylvania
Railroad used 10 order $50 at a time and
that kept US all busy.
About 50 per cent. OF men in my trade
are out Of work and cannot find il. we
arc Well paid when we work full time. ana
most OF US save. We have a small saw
ings system of our own connected with
the union, and that helps us in strike
times and times like these but the money
won't last always.

had been rendered uninhabitable.
Kansas City had already had taste
of it. The whole population was be-
coming nomadic, seeking refuge from
the blue weed. And the more it
was cut down the faster it spread.
Whole tracts of f1ourishing country
were jungles, above which waved the
scarlet speckled trumpets. Among
these were afterward found the skel-
etons of deer and farm cattle.
On the day before that which the
weather man had prophesied as the
last the weed had spread as far as
the great desert Cities were oblit-
Grated, buried far beneath the growth.
The country swarmed with refugees
taking refuge in the woods and fields.
And even here blue patches were be-
ginning to spread. 1t seemed only a
question of time before the whole
country would have to be abandoned.
The fatal seventh day after the
prophecy arrived. The hot sun had
begun to cool The weather man, Mr..
Sears. was just as firm in his conVic-
ton, and he had so impressed the au-
thorities with his belief that small
party in captive balloon waited over
what had once been the Singer build
ing, but was now only weed-grown
projection above the forest.
A cloud appeared in the west and
began to grow rapidly. But the au-
thorities, their eyes fixed on the city
below, did not perceive it.
Dear me-" said the secretary of
the treasury at last looking up, 81 be-
ieve it's going to rain"

will do the crops"
The whole of the sky grew black
and suddenly drenching downpour
sent the captive balloon skipping up
and down on its rope. The hammer

prediction of local thunderstorms will
be recognized as correct"
"But the weed!' gasped the head Of
the secret service, who had somehow
been included in the party.
They looked down, but where the
weed had been were only the build
ings of Manhattan. A few dry, droop-
ing, shriveled stalks attested to what
had been the world-conquering plant.
The weed had practically disap-
peared.
1t was a Marian weed and there
is no rain on Mars. It could grow
only in perpetual sunlight, alternating
with dry nights. Long had surmised
that, Sears had caught a hint of it
and had utilized the knowledge to get
his revenge.
Real estate went booming. The film
company reopened its Office and Hol-
land, going to draw his back pay, in
formed Mr.. Jefton that he would be
leaving at the end of the week.
Jefton looked at him sardonically.

manded angrily.
And, starting from his nap, Holland
opened his eyes to receive the drench-
ing stream of the film company's fire
hose.

THERE'S A REASON WHY
BY r. F. c.

Now and then we rhyming men send
verselets to The Day Book.
You do not print all we mint and
some no doubt you overlook.
We don't infer that the editor cannot
tell literary genius.
We can't deny there's a reason why,
for some of them are heinous.
Although we know our verse don't
go, the reason we never ask it.
There's not day he don't throw
away better verse into his basket.
A poet fan most always can stand
any disappointment.
A rhyming man will try again to find
the fly that's in the ointment.
