HEARN CLIMBED A sTEEPLE.
How the Author, Then n Reporter,
Secured Thrilling Item
for His Paper.

Twenty years ago Lafcadio Hearn
was reporter on the staff of "a Cincin-
natl newspaper. One day, says the San
Francisco Argonaut. famous stccpIc
climber was going to scale the spire of
the cathedral to repair the cross that
topped the spire 200 feet above the side
walk. The afternoon he first scaled the
spire thousands of people watched him
breathlessly as he slowly made his way
up the outside of the steeple. Oh course
he was interviewed, and he said, boast
ingly, that the task was so easy that he
could just as well carry Il man up on his
back. That noon IIearu said timidly to
his city editor that he had read of the
steeple climbers offer and would be
glad to ascend the spire on his back
The editor tried to point out to Hearn
the peril of the thing, but he would not
listen. Finally the steeple climber and
llearn arranged their end of the feat.
1T the appointed time lIearn mounted
the steeple climbers shoulders and the
dizzy journey began. Tens of thou
sands of people watched the fooIhardy
pair. AT last the cross was reached and
llearn left his perch on the climbers
shoulders. The mob in the street be-
low cheered and then the two men re-
turned to the ground safely. Hearn
went back to the Office and sat down
and wrote two columns OF II story de-
scribing his sensations and the glo1cs
Of the view he had obtained fro!# . y,
stecplc top. Such a glowing d2scrip-
ton of city seen from n great height
has never been read, before nCr since
The most interesting thing about il was
the fact that Hcarn was so nCar-sighted
he could not see five feet beyond the tip
of his nose
