HEROES OF STREET
How the Trouble Shooters" Worked
When big Hospital was Struck
by Lightning

This is by way of bit Of praise for
some unsung Heroes of the Street.
Detroit rocked Tuesday in the throes
of forty-mile gale, followed by a
terrific downpour.
Then came the lightning-and then
the report.
Harper hospital has been struck
Bells began to jingle. 1t was the
call for the Trouble Shooters" Of the
Edison Electric company, the wreck
ers. from the Detroit Street Railways,
the minute men of the fire department.
They rushed to the institution. The
wards, clinics and operating rooms
were in darkness.
Who knew but patient under anes-
thetic might be on the table with a
surgeon with poised scalpel lowering
overhead waiting for the light to
make the incision that would mean
life-or death?
Dazzling flashes were followed by
deafening thunderbolts. The rain
came down like a cloud burst.
With amazing swiftness the crews
of Trouble Shooters" dashed up in
their cars and dashed out before their
momentum was spent in front of the
darkened hospital.
A quick glance, and up the nearest
poles they scampered. Drenched by
the rain-and water is one of electric
ity's best conductors-they worked
pliers. In a surprisingly few NOM
ents connections were restored and
the prayed-for light again shown in
wards, clinics-and the operating
rooms.
Down the poles they scrambled to
make the next call.
Soon they had cleaned their slate.
The "juice" was on again all over
town.
Then back to wait for another sum-
mons. There was no applause. They
had risked their lives, but they had
done their task well.
All about us, every day, men smile
in the bright face Of danger, and do
their work without complaint.
They are heros of the battlefield of
business and commercq-Detroit
Times. :,

What do YOU think happened to

LITTLE STORIES
OF LARGE SUCCESS.
Arthur TOmlinsOn WOOlfleet.

A RTHUR TOMLINSON WOOL
FLEET, the succotash mag
nate, had a peculiar preparation
for a mercantile career. He was
the son of a wealthy poet, who
left him seven flourishing poetry
foundries, whose work was con-
trac4ed for by the best upstage
magazines. Arthur, however, was
a spendthrift in his earlier years,
and rapidly ran through his for
tune pitching pennies. Reduced
at last to beggary. there was moth
ing for him to do but beg; but the
friends Of more prosperous times
closed their doors to him and in
formed him that the tradesmen's
entrance was at the rear. Hav-
ing no trade, Arthur. OF course,
kept away.
Realizing at last the futility Of
1t all, Arthur donned his tuxedo,
his new <brogues. a purple tie
and white flannel trousers, and
went to call on his sweetheart,
Miss Theresa Alimony, whose
mother had accumulated a for
tune in the divorce business. He
confidently asked her to marry
him, and was as confidently re-
fused, but nothing daunted, he
thereupon proposed to her mother.
MIRA Alimony. being for the
moment husbandless. accepted
him, and on their wedding trip
she mysteriously fell overheard
from the Sausa giana. and Arthur
succeeded to all her wealth. 49,.
He married several times after
ward, and with uniform success.
His wives all left him large for.
tunes, and at last he bought the
interest of John Dietrich Ounce
in the succotash trust and gained
his present lofty position in world
finance.
With all his wealth. MIR. Wool
fleet is a modest man, anxious
to give credit where credit is
due-and to collect cash when
cash is due. "AlI my success"
he has often said. "has been due
to the help and inspiration of my
various wives"
