THE MAN BEHIND THE SHOVEL

Men have written charming lyrics on the man behind the gun And the man behind the plough share and the things that he has done; we've often heard
 But of him behind the shovel, they have never writ word. When the sky begins to darlcn, and the wind begins to blow And in clouds into our faces drifts the beautiful white snow, Then the poet sings of jingling bells and how the white snow flies, But the man who wields the shovel only shakes his head and signs. Then New England's gentle breezes pile the heecy snow in heaps, And pack in every pathway while the poet, dreaming sleeps. But early in the morning, ere his lids the poet lifts
 The "man behind the shovel" has at tackled the glisteuing drifts. As from out of the deep cut path the heavy Jumps on high he throws, In binding clouds into his face, the swirling drift now blows And when he's reached the end and turns to rest his aching back, The darned stuff's drifted in again and covered every track. So you who will may sing about the man behind the gun, The man behind the ploughsharc, and the things that they have done. But here's to him whose name should stand til time has passed away The man behind the shower is the hero of the day.

THE PEOPLE AND TROLLEYS.


 The inauguration of tokens, pro- curable three for quarter, with which to pay carfare in the city, and the use of the pay-as-you enter plan on some lines, both of which came yesterday, mark changes which would be supposed to create considerable comment and discussion on the part of patrons of the trollcys.
 That discussion, that comment is notceably less marked and was no- ticeably less marked all day yesterday than might have been expected. In this fact there is significance. People did not register any violent, general objection to use of the tokens. They are unpopular with some, but the criticisms of these obiectors were not loud. There was little or no com ment on the reduced fare-there was absolutely no enthusiasm. There was some slight suggestion, that the pay as-you-enter plan would delay traffic, causing less easy entrance to the cars and delaying them. But such sug- gcstions were not numerous.
 This attitude of the people is &C., counted for by but one faet-the people are waiting to learn of the one important thing the thing that means so much to them. They, the people. want to know if they will get the six-cent fare sought.
 The people who ride on the troIleys and those who would ride on. them if they could afford it are suspending judgment. They are ready to step down from the fence, either into the field where grows goodwill for the Connecticut company, or. on the other side. where nourishcs discouragemcnt, failure to understand q companys, to them, foolish policy, and dctcrmina- ton to live along continuing to make the best of a bad situation which they are not able to rectiiy.
 It is the psychological moment for thr Connecticut company to win the good will of the people of this city.
