Working In Skyscrapers Is Hard, on
Nerren and Stomachs.
“The reason »hat we are always ad
vertising for window cleaners,” said
the foreman of a company that em
ploys 200 men in this business, “is that
so many men throw up their jobs after
they have been at it a week or so.
Some of them even do not last so long
as that. A window cleaner can make
as good wages as a mechanic or a mo-
torman. The work is steady because
nearly all the window cleaning in New
York’s big buildings is done by con
tract.
“Any number of likely young fellows
really in need of work who promise
well enough at the start give out with
in a few days. Sometimes it is their
nerves that go back on them* but more
often it is their stomachs. We send
away half the men who apply for jobs
without even giving them a trial. If a
man drinks or is so nervous that he has
to dodge trolley cars he should keep out
of this business.
“When we take a man on trial the
foreman breaks him in gradually. We
don’t put him on a skyscraper job right
away. A great many private houses in
this city have their windows cleaned
by contract, and we start him in on
that. If a man is no good at ladder
work it is no use bothering with him.
From private houses the beginner is
sent to department stores and finally to
the tall buildings. Once in awhile we
find a man who can start in on sky
scraper jobs right away without any
trouble.
“ ‘Don’t look down. Look up all the
time,’ is the constant admonition of the
foreman. Not one man in ten is able
to obey that order. The temptation to
look down is irresistible. If a man
can’t break himself of the looking
down habit it is all up with him. He is
sure to come around sooner or later
and give up his job.”—New York Press.
YOUNG ALLIGATORS.
They Feed hut Once a Month and
Then Prefer Live Food.
“The thing of it being difficult to in
duce an alligator in captivity to eat is
a mistaken idea,” said a man who
owns a young alligator and knows all
about them. “The question is how.
First of all, an alligator feeds but once
a month and then prefers to eat any
thing that suggests life—anything that
moves. For this reason angleworms,
besides being good food for it, prove at
tractive to the eye of a small gator
and later disappears with the same rel
ish it would were the alligator in the
streams of its native regions. Again, a
small portion of raw beef makes excel
lent food for it, and the alligator never
refuses to eat of a piece that is tied to
a string and slowly drawn along in
front of him, in this way giving a sug
gestion of life to the food. Another
thing very important to know in the
care of an alligator is to exactly under
stand how to make it comfortable. The
best and simplest plan is to secure a
box, any ordinary wooden box, and fill
the bottom with sand, which is then
covered with moss. Also have placed
inside of the box, which must be kept
in the sun as much as possible, a flow
erpot saucer filled with water. This
must be changed frequently. All of
which makes the alligator very com
fortable, for in case it should become
tired of the water there are the moss
and sand for it to get out upon. So with
a properly arranged home or box and a
little care as to its diet there is no rea
son why the little alligator tourists so
frequently delight in sending their
friends from Florida should not thrive
in captivity.”—Washington Post.
Mutual
Life Insurance

The Southern Mutual Life Insurance Association, chartered and organized under the laws of
Georgia, the first company to put absolutely safe and sound life insurance within the reach of the
masses of the Southern people, and the only Life Insurance Association operating on our plan in
Georgia which has on deposit with the State Treasurer $20,000 in securities to secure the prompt
payment of its policies. <
Its policy is as safe and sure as a United States bond, and it costs you only six to ten
dollars per thousand, while the “old line companies” charge you $32.00.
It is sound life insurance at actual cost, because the immense profits which are charged by Hie
“old line companies” to pay exhorbitant salaries to officers and make their stockholders rich, are
left in the pockets of our policy holders, and yet our policy is secured by a deposit with the State
Treasurer as theirs is, and is paid more promptly than theirs.
Not a dollar of the money you pay in goes to Chicago or New York, but every dollar of it re
mains in Georgia and nearly all of it in Hall county, in the hands of J, R. Boone, the treasurer of
your home branch, who is a bonded officer, till it is paid out on a death loss to provide for the com
fort of the widow and orphans of you or one of your neighbors. One of its branches is in Gaines
ville and is under the immediate control of home men. Here are its officers :
F\ N. Rarlcer, President,
J. R. Boone, Secretary & Treasurer,
R. B. Andoe, J. B. Gaston,
R. D. Mitchell, J. G. Hynds, Directors*
E. H. Jewell, District Agent.
You Know Them.
Examine our plan and methods carefully and then call and get a policy, and thus protect your
wife and dependent children against possible want after you are dead. Yon may die tonight. Who
knows? “In the midst of life we are in death.” Are you willing to take the risk of leaving them
in want when for 2 to 3 cents per day while you are alive you can secure for them a thousand dol
lars if you should be taken suddenly from them? For further particulars see

jl^ver Touched the Scotchmen.
It is related of the late Shirley
Brooks that he had at one time a very
favorite pig who. alas, went the way of
all pigs and was converted into bacon.
Brooks sent some of the delicacy to a
friend, with a note as follows:
“His end was peace, and I send yon
a piece of his end.”
The Joke was related to a Scotch
man, who laughed very heartily and
shortly afteiward having occasion to
kill a pig of his own sent some to a rel
ative, with the remark, “His end was
peace, and I send you a piece of the
pjg/» And he wondered why nobody
saw the joke.—London King.
The Worit of It. „
“Barker is not much on form,” said
the first commuter. “Why, the other
day I saw him eating breakfast food
for supper. And that wasn’t the worst
0f “wiTat could be worse?” broke In th#
second commuter. ......
••Why, this,” replied the first com-
muter with a grin: ‘‘He actually had
“evening dress at the time w tb a
morning Ilory in bis buttonhole.”-

The House and Senate have
agreed on a $30,000 appropriation
for an exhabit at the St. Louis
Exposition. The sum is not large,
but in view ot all the circumstan
ces it is quite a neat one, and
with it a very creditable exhibit
ought to be possible.
The Quitman Free Press says:
The legislature proposes to put
a $40 tax on every decree of di
vorce granted in Georgia. It
would look like a choice between
a fine and imprisonment tor life.”
The United States is not making
much progress towards building
the Panama canal but the salar
ies are going on all the time so
that some people are entirely
a^isfied.
