THE MAN Atiour TOWN -UY Harry Tu ckcr. Wo tiro really triad that we mudo that bot with Alderman Ilonry Hock, formerly Of Jackson, now or Monroe Ward.

ISlectrical publications have had their nay about the llttlo thought of dltlloultles that beset an occupation new to thd'In? dustrial world, entered upon with Utile or no preparation, yet charged with' Tre. rr.endous responsibilities. Tho care and ? nervous, strain* of tne railway engineer form a hackneyed theme; but no one lias ever framed the sympathetic side of the motorman's lot. Yet probably the' engineer in his eight or nine hours' run hat, little If anything more to wear upon hi? nerves or enchain his ceaseless atten? tion than the man at tho controller as he liushes his car along tlw crowded street, with Infinito care, yet with all" possi-' lile speed.

The walls, or rather -wall, ot the barn are twenty-five fcu't high nnd sixty-five feet lu dlamcier,. tho toot running to a cone. There Is no xuch thing un a post or pillar In tho burn. In order to prevent tho weight of tho roof from spreading the wall, Sear3, who Is a practical, blacksmith, forged three heavy steel h?opa, and with these lie encircled the structure aa a 'band -would bo put around a big water tank. The barn Is cyclone-proof, for Boreas has no chance to get a- hold on tho-etruc ture. Inside a drlvoway runs clear around.
