The Serenity Of Labor.

Latimer recalled the wonder that H.
ways possessed him when he stopped
to peer down into excavations where
men CROPPED about in crazy network
of mains and conduits, or when he
looked up to the steel Orders swinging
into place on the new skyscrapers.
Only now and then would he catch
sight Of heavy sledge in play, or the.
heave Of muscles. AS a rule men
moved about in the tangle of claaca
as If engaged in an elaborate minuet.
He saw men poised on the end of a
steel beam go through graceful cal.
isthenics, with a measured wave Of:
the arm, now this way, now that way,
