The "tigers" would soon ceaio exist if they were not well sunnor 1 Then who is to blame? Those io buy and drink this stuff. The best ned y for this, and a help to keep in sober, is a law making it a mis ineanor to bo seen on the streets or ?hways drunk or disorderly, p?n able by a sentence to work a cer n number of days on the streets or ;hways. Very few would violate :h a law more than three times, t there's tho rub.

FOOLHARDY FEAT-"I remem' ber," said, a bridge contractor somo timo" ago, whilo on the sub ject of -workmen's darodeyilitries (the story is told in Oassior's Mag azine for September),/'when work ing .at tho: big bridge across tho Niagara, when the two 'cantilever arms had approached within fifty feet of each other, a keon rivalry as to who should be the first to. cross sprang up among the men. A long plank connected the two 'artus, leaving about two and a half feet of support at eaoh end. Strict orders were issued that no" one should attempt. to cross the plank upon penalty of instant dis missal. At tho noon hour 1 sud denly heard a great shout frem ! the men, who were all staring up. Hising my eyes, I saw a man step on the end of that plank, H top a minute, ?nd look down in the whirlpool below. I knew he was going, to cross, and I shouted to him, but he waa too high to hear. "Deliberately he walked out' until he reached the middle of: the plank. It sagged far down with his weight until l could soe light between the two abort sup porting ends and the cantilevers or?. whiob they r?sted. He saw the end in front ot him do this, hesi tated, and looked baok to see bow the other end waa. I thought be was going to turn. He stopped, grasped beth edges of the plank with bia hands, and, throwing his feet up, stood on his head, kicking Ibis legs in tbs air, cracking his ! heels together, and yelling to the terrified on-lookers. This he did abont a minute-it seemed to me like forty. Then he let his feet 'drop down, stood up, waved hie i bat, and trotted along the plank to i the other aide, slid down oue of the braces hand over hand, and regained the ground. We dis charged him, Of course, but what I did he care? He got all the glory, *.* ' ;. '.>.- cuVie.d h'm *nd'he ?voali? conVmaod ivorli :\nyni??.' ?.fi*"'; ? ?"no K?rntO?f?rnVipi?. .N f. ?vj y> ?:?!
