the shouts Of men hurrying to the front. 1t

vantage Of position and superiority OF num-
bers there could be scarcely any doubt OF
which side would prove victorious. 1t was
Buhammei's battle.

THE sTEEPLE JACK.
He Must Conquer Many Difficulties FA
 His Dangerous Work.

The successful steeple jack must possess determination. perseverance and ingenuity. He must solve many a practical problem in hoisting great bodies aloft. He must know how to fasten a hook over the summit of a skyscraping chimney. He must have the nerve to paint a steeple that sways like pendulum al the slender top. He must be able to tear down. build up. Eild. paint, place electric wires and do many another task that would be difficult enough on the solid earth
 There are many ways of getting up on steeple, and when all others fail then. with coil on his back. walk round and round it until the entire steeple is covered with rope. and in such case he has probably been round 1t fully 3No times.
 But sleeple is not the most diff cult height to climb. Straight, tall chimneys are tie hardest of all There a man has to work with might and main to lift himself inch by inch from the ground to the top. Sometimes the top is 300 feet high. When 1t is reach ed hook is placed over the edge, pulley is made fast, the swinging chair is hauled up and work begins
 When the chair Is near the top 1t Is easier to work. because the ropes are short, but when they lengthen as the ground is approached there is ten dency to swing. and the wind gives impetus.
 The steeple jacks safety depends upon the hook, and until he has raised himself almost to the top it is impos- sible for him to see whether or not the hook has been properly adjusted. More than once steeple climber has seen when within ten feet of the top that corrosion of the iron and the col lection of soot have so thickened the wall that the hook is merely balancing on the top, so that the slightest pull in the wrong direction would drag it off. Again. the bricks are often loose at the top. and the hook is likely to tear them away
 One of the natural difficulties to con- quer is the swaying of all high stee. ples and chimneys. In gale steeple point will sway foot and half. Usually il sways from seven to nine inches. Painting it means reaching for a spot on the right side. and find ing it on the left, and. when making dive for 1t on the left, to see 1t sway back to the right. Yet in spite of the constant danger born steeple jack ex. ults in his work and is at home, like the ironworker on the skyscraper, only when high above the world. He can stand triumphantly at any height, if he can have two and one-half square inches to bear his weight.-Harpers Weekly.

MERCIFUL CAESAR.
A Story of the Great Roman and .
 Band of Pirates.

A Story of the Great Roman and
 Band of Pirates.
 Caesar travelled with the retinue of man of rank, and on his way to Rhodes he fell in with an adventure which may be something more than legend. When he was crossing the Aegean, his vessel is said to have been taken by pirates. They carried him to Pharmacusa. an island off the Ca rian coast. which was then in their possession. and there he was detained for six weeks with three of his attend ants. while the rest of his servants were sent to the nearest Roman sta ton to raise his ransom.
 The pirates treated him with polite ness. He joined in their sports. played games with them, looked into their habits and amused himself with them as well as he could. frankly telling them at the same time that they would be hanged.
 The ransom, very large one. about f1OOOO. was brought and paid. Caesar was set upon the mainland. near Mi letus, where, without moments delay, he collected some armed vessels. returned to the island. seized the whole crew while they were dividing their plunder and took them away to Pergamus, the seat of government in the Asiatic province. where they were convicted and crucified. Clemency was not a Roman characteristic. It was therefore noted with some surprise that Caesar interceded to mitigate the severity of the punishment. The poor wretches were strangled before they were stretched on the crosses and were spared the prolongation of their torture.-James Anthony Froude.
