THE STEEPLE JACK.
He Must Conquer Many Difficulties IF
 His Dangerous Work.

The successful steeple jack mus, possess determination, perseverance and ingenuity. He must solve man! practical problem in hoistins great bodies aloft He must know how tt fasten d hook over the summit or d skyscraping chimney He must nave the nerve to paint a steeple that sWay~ like q pendulum al the slender top. Ii" must be able to te;lr down. build IF sild. paint. place electric wires and do many another task that would bp difficult enough on the solid earth.
 There are many WHY'S of getting up on d Stceple, and when all others fal the man will tie d rope around It ana then, with coil oH his back, walk round and round il until the entire steeplr is covered with rope. and ln such case hp has probably been round it fully 300 times.
 But a steeple is not t. aost diff cult height to climb. ight. tall chin.neyS are the hardest Ii al. There q 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 it 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 it 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 a 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- pies and chimneys. In a gale a steep!e point will sway d foot and a half Usually it 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 a dive for it on the left, to see it 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.-Harper's Weekly

MERCIFUlL CAESAR.
A Story of the Great Roman and a
 Band of Pirates

Caesar travelled with the retinue of a 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 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- tion 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 we'll as he could. frankly telling them at the same time that they would be hanged.
 The yansom, very large one, about f1O,O0O. 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

A Hurt Dog Tells

The best proof that an individual or company is meeting with success is shown by knocking and petty jeal- ousy on the part of competitors
 It is the fellow that is not doing anything that never gets the knocks but he becomes a specialist with the hammer. So when you hear fel- low knocking, you can say he is a Hurt Dog-The other fellow has step- ped on his toes.
 You will find this the case with professional men--Business Men and all others.
 The Insurance Business is no ex- ception.
 The Consolidated Casualty Con- pany has begun to step on their toes and they are beginning to yell.
 At first they began to whine, now you can hear them yelping, on every corner. In fact they congregate and OLD TRAY YELPS and the LITTLE F1DOS bring in the chorus.
 When asked by the public why all this noise. Why we have new company in the field. We'll you have had them before I have never heard you in such pain and agony as this.
 Yes, But-Well hold on, don't they n O iY1oo trouble and they. are offering a s1O0 reward fer proof of any unpaid jus, claim.
 We'll why don't you get that s1oo and quit knocking. I can't find an unpaid claim. Are they prompt in the settlement of claims Yes, all the policyholder has to do is to have his physician fill claim blank and go to their office and receive drafts in full.
 Well, if this is the case see no reason of so much unwarranted knocking We'll on the 0. T. am going to confess to you their policie, are so liberal, and they give their pollcyholders such a square deal. they are putting us out Of business and we have to do this to hold some o1 our business.

 All foolish, you say? And yet look around you-how few retailers take advantage of the great advertising campaigns run by food, textile, cloth and every other manufacturing line that you can name.
 Think a moment. What was the last advertisement you read and wondered just which store in town would be progressive enough to have the goods in stock so you could see them-and purchase?
 More goods are sold under the evening lamp at home than you dream of.
