A DE,ERVED MONUMENT

has made her mark and her life
is written in deeds done.
Coming up from Marshall

were, as one crying in the vii
derness. she astonish he'd he
world in championing the consi
tutional and moral righ's Of her
people. The enemy became in
dignant at the truth and caused
her to flee from the land of her
nativity. but like the Savior of.
the world, she moved on but
never ceased to tell the truth
and expose the wrong.
Ye, she even boarded the ship
and flew to Europe, a more con-
genial cline; and told the people
there her simple story-a plea
for right-went from land Of
freedom seeking freedom. She
found a sympathetic ear as usu
al in Eng land. She returned at
length and stopped in Chicago,
VIII re she found succor and
friends, In Chicago she has
since lived and fought and wrote
and wrought magnanimously for
that same simple title justice for
which she was run out of Memp-

DRUNKENNESS A GREAT CURSE

1t is marvellous fact that, a
lew drunken men, as rule, pre-
clpltate all or nearly all, of the
bad crime and riots. Men be i.
come intoxicated with liquor and
arguments arise, minating ia
the most diabolical crimes. When
man is drunk he is insane. 1t
Is awful to contemplate. We can
trace three fourth of the dpmes

giant use of liquor. 1t is no nee
essarlIy an evil coming from a

of too much liquor. Thousands

Many Uses of Sand.

The sands of the sea are singuiarU useful. They are of primary 1mpor- tance in glassmaking. They have an important place i'll warfare. as banh of sand twenty inches thick is proof against modern rifle shots. The eler- trical properties of sand show that II has positive electricity. although rod of silica. the chief constituent of sand, Is negative.
 The singular drying effect which oc- CUTS when d stretch of wet sand Is pressed by the foot is due entirely te an alteration in the piling of the sand grains. Normally the grains are close together, but abnormal piling Is brought about by pressure of the loot the space between the edges of the grains being enlarged and the water drained away. If the pressure of the foot is continued the sand becomes wetter than ever. the partial vacuum quickly bringing water from the sur rounding sand.
 In quicksand the moving character Is thought to be due to the imprison- ment between the grains of gases from organic matter.-Chicago Tribune.

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

He Must Conquer Many Difficulties m
 His Dangerous Work.
 The successful steeple jack must possess determination. perseVefah t and ingenuity. He must solve hian' A practical problem in hoistins grea' bodies aloft. He must know how to fasten a hook over the summit or skyscraping chimney. He must nave the nerve to paint steeple that sways like a pendulum at the slender top. lie must be able to tear down, build up. sild paint. place electric wires ana do many another task that would De difficult enough on the solid earth
 There are many ways of getting u.} on steeple. and when all others lall the man will tie rope around 1t ana then with coil on his back. walk round and round it until the entre steeple is covered with rope. and ID s,,ch case he has probably been round it fully 300 times.
 But a steeple is not the most ditt1- cult height to climb Straight, tall chimneys are the hardest of all. There a man has to work with might ana 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 a hook is placed over the edge, a pulley is made fast, the swinging char 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 1mpos- 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 1t 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- uuer is the swaying of all high stee. ples and chimneys. In gale steeple point will sway foot and a half. Usually 1t sways from seven to nine inches. Painting it means reaching for spot on the right side. and find ing it on the left, and, when making dive for it on the left, to see it sway back to the right. Yet in spite of the constant danger a 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 3 Weakly

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

Band of FlrateS.
 Caesar travelled with the retinue of d man of rank, and on his way te 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 we'll as he could. frankly telling them at the same time that they would be hanged.
 The ransom, a very large one. about f1O,O0O, was brought and paid, Caesar was set upon the mainland. near Mi letus, where, without a 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 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 end were spared the prolongation of their torture.-James Anthony Froude.
