hard lines
Are Those Which the Newspa
per Man Finds in His Post.
Did you over consider what a hard
task it was to grind out a certain
amount of matter daily or weekly
and repeat the dose day in and day
out? If you have never brought
your mind to the contemplation of
this task, you have never fully ap
preciated the hard lines which a
poor devil of a newspaper man has,
in the absorbing drama of life. Os
coarse, when the mind is teeming
with id as and the mental machin
cry is well greased with apt words
to fit them, the labor is trivial; but
I
even with most fertile brains, and
the best equipped vocabularies, there
comes a time when the ebb of thought
is low and the old machine refuses
to go.
These are the times that try the
newspaper man's soul, lie knows
that he must write; he sees the empty
“copy hook" glaring at him, and als«>
the printer’s “devil,” who has cone
down to remark that all the com
positors arc out and the paper will
have to go to press with a column or
so of “dead matter" unless some
thing is done at once. Then the
newspaper man squares himself to
his desk; be resharpens his pencil
for the nine hundredth time, and
drums his nose sori for an idea; he
runs his hand busily through bis
hair and finally rakes up some rem
iniscence about John Smith, and
gets licked after the paper comes out
ftgjor hij pains.

Shoes.—
It has been our intention for
some time to discontinue the

less, we have a full assortment
of sizes and styles left.

CROSBY’S COMMUNICATION.
Something More About The Strike
j of The Street Car Drivers.
But nswick, G v , Aug. 12.—T0 the
Post: In reply to certain statements
that have been made regarding the
■ strike of the Street car drivers, I can
say. with a clear conscience, that we
notified the foreman that we were
j dissatisfied, several days before we
took decided action. He wanted to
: know why we were disatisfied and we
told him tout we were not receiving
sufficient pay for our labor, and that
he must notify Capt. Dart to that
effect.
That night we drew up an agree
' ment that if Capt. Dart would give
: the drivers 121 cents per hour, we
j would remain on the cars. The
next morning when we reached the
states we were surprised to see that
Capt- Dart bad not come. Our
agreement was turned over to Mr.
Moore, who sent for Capt. Dart. As
soon as Capt. Dart arrived, the com
munication was handed to him. He
' glanced at it for a moment and said :
“Turn the mu’es in the stables,” and
then Mr. Moore, after a short talk
with Capt. Dart, came to us and
said: “( apt. Dart says that those
of you. who have not struck, may
drive on. Then the strikers walked
! off with a great laugh of joy, order
ing the mules put back in the lot.
Now . apt Dart caused the whole
trouble. For instance he must have
placed mighty little confidence in us
when he placed a detective on the
cars. He must have thought that
we were dishonest. That alone was
enough for nie.l thought if I couldn't
drive a common street car without
having a detective ’placed on me. I
would resign, and so 1 told Mr.
Moore he might secure somebody to
fill my place. That occurred three
lays before the strike. Now Mr.
I Dart states that he discharged the
strikers. I don't call that a dis
charge, but a quit. Capt. Dart did
sot respect his drivers. Everobody
knows lie had but little confidence in
them when he kept detectives
; watching them. If the drivers Lad
not struck he never would have give::
12A cents per hour. He would have
kept them there until they were
I humpbacked and gray, and still thev
would have been called street cat
'drivers and yellow dogs. Again we
agreed to pay $2 for every rule that
was‘broken. That shows that we
were trying to work for the -com
pany’s interest. This was in our
other agreement, and we would have
stuck to it if Capt. Dart had stuck
to his part. • As for trying to make
him a servant for the public, that he
• has been all his life. Respectfully,
advt. R. J. Ckosby.

VAN FRESHLEIGH’S TALE OF WOE.
A Yoniijj and lunoceut Girl Destroys All
HU Chances for Happiness.
The ‘ moment that Chappie Van
Freshleigh entered the club rooms of
1 the Society for the Promotion of Ve
racity you could see that something
was the matter with him. The mus
; tacho, that pride of his life, the one
' goal in the wild whirl for fame he has
managed to kick, was ail wrinkled, and
looked as if it hadn’t been pressed for
weeks. There was an ugly bag at his
knees. In fact Chappie looked all
broke up. Ho sat down, sullenly smok
ing cigarettes. He rang for a waiter,
who brought him a bowl of hot water.
Then he took his watch out and put
the back of it into the hot water, and j
! in a few moments a little round pho
tograph was in the cuspidore and Chap
pie had taken a second photograph
from his vest pocket, had gently licked
1 the back, and Imd stuck it to the back
of liis watch. 'Mien he went on smok
ing. Clarence De Peyster, who had
1 been watching him, grew every minute
more nervous. He placed his hand on
Chapgie’s shoulder.
"What's mattah, dear boy?” he
asked.
“Girl. Remember Miss Anita Peach
