The steeplejacli's ability to keep his
head and feet while workin. on a
top" which is ledge three feet wide
between abysses 500 feet deep is a
gift. Like the poet, the steepejack is
born, not made. Charles Waterton
the naturalist. had the gift and would
have adorned the profession-the only
one into which men do not drift.
When on visit to Rome. Waterton
determined to rival the feats Of the
Italian climbers who yearly scaled the
dome Of St Peters and the pinnacles
of the castle of st. Angelo. to ilumi
nate their SUBMITS on the feast of St
Peter. Eighty men used to climb the
dome on two successive nights. and
the boldest completed the spectacle by
GROWING the cross with waving
torch of fire. Each nights show was
said. on the average. to cost a man
life. Waterton scaled the dome by
daylight and left his glove upon the
vane.-Los Angeles Times.

GRAVEURE, PAINTER AND
GARDNER TO BE HEARD
IN SONG IN AUGUSTA

Prof w. r. Chapman conducted the
rehearsal of the Augusta Festival
Chorus last evening, and the chorus
was most enthusiastic over his work
and the new music, and il was unanl-
mously voted to work with the great
est enthusiasm if Mr.. Chapman would
bring Louis Gravoure, Miss Eleanor
Painter, and Samuel Gardner to Au-
gusta. Society is enthusiastic over this
fact. and many distinguished musical
patrons from Augusta, HalloWel, Gar
diner. South Gardiner and Winthrop
have EXPRESSED a desire not only to be
present but to work with a will to
pack City hall to hear these wonder
full artists.
Prof. Chapman was delighted to see
this enthusiasm and made the follow
ing announcement which seems almost
TOO good to be true, but whatever ne
promises he always produces, and AT
this concert he will present three or
the most famous artists now before the
public. This concert will easily be the
musical event of the season, ana VIII
be given for the benefit of the local
Festival chorus 1t will undoubtedly at
tract capacity audiences.
Louis Graveure, the Belgian bari
tone. who was the sensation of the
last Maine Music Festival needs no
introduction to the music loving pub
lie of Maine. His success has been
most phenomenal, not only in Maine
but throughout the United States and
Europe. and he is without doubt one
of the greatest baritones in the world.
The mere announcement OF his APP
pearance in this city will be heralded
with unbounded joy. His charming
wife, Eleanor Painter, who shared
honors with him at the last Festival.
will also be one of the soloists at this
concert, and will appear not only IN
solos. but also in duets with him. Her
voice is of most beautiful quality of
tone. and their singing of duets Gre
ated a whirlwind of enthusiasm that
has seldom been witnessed at any OF
the Festival concerts during the past
20 years.
Samuel Gardner is one of the prom
ising yiolinists who has appeared In
New York this season. He has been en-
Gagged as soloist with the New York
Philharmonic and Chicago Symphony
Orchestras this season. The tickets and
certificates will go on sale at once ana
full particulars may be learned from

Nearly every fellow is in hopes that
some day he will be able to quit the
kind Of work he is doing If 1t is hard
work. he wants to do something easy,
and If it Is easy he wants a position
that isn't so combining. If he has a
job where he works in an Office part
of the time and on the street part Of
the time he wants to get into some
thing where he won't always have to
be running In and out.
The clerk in store thinks he would
like place where be wouldn't have to
work regular hours. and the man
whose time belongs to himself thinks
he would like to be a clerk. When
you are through with the days work."

but l have always got something to
worry me-"
Husband thinks that doing the house
work and talking to the neighbor Is a
snap, and wife feels that she would
be perfectly happy If she could go out
and work like man does.
Almost everybody is dissatisfied with
his Job and is determined that his son

the fellow who draws an enormous
salary isn't contented-he feels he
ought to be doing something else.-Fort

in my opinion. is drill on the tower
with pompier ladders This is best
done by teams composed of both skill
ed and green men, taking care, how
ever not to set pace at first that will
be too fast for the less experienced
members of the team.
To one who has never had any eS-
perienCe in drilling men for fire service
II would be o revelation to learn how
few men naturally have no fear Of
height-that is. how few are able to
climb to 4 considerable distance from
the ground without becoming afraid or
dizzy. The overcoming Of this natural
fear Is the first and most important
thing in drilling men for the service.
In Butte we have tower built tc
represent building six stories in
height find that our best results are
gained by taking a crew composed OF
experienced men and. with the skilled
men in the lead and the green men
sandwiched in with the men who are
already we'll drilled. have them scale
the tower until they can all handle the
pompier ladders with ease. This is not
done all at once. but is developed grad
ually. The captain in charge OF the
crew instructs the new men in the best
way to raise the ladders.
Then l have the team. including the
green men, climb to the second story
and afterward descend to the ground
This is done until all the men in the
team can do the work without bun
Cling. Another story Is then taken
and so on until the novices are grad
ually taught the better ways Of han
ding the ladders and have also over
come the fear which climbing to 9
height naturally excites In every mar
not accustomed to that kind of work.
BY working with the experienced
men the novices learn the better ways
Of handling the ladders and of man
aging themselves. They are also put
on their mettle, for q man will natural
" shrink from showing any fear wheE
he Is with others.
The pompier ladders are better, II
my judgment, than the others. for the
swing which they have after they art
hooked over the sill Of the window
brings out all there is in man, and 1.
he is yellow" he will show 1t at
time when he can be removed from thu
service This is wiser than to let him
become a regular member Of the forci
and fail when the crucial time comes.
Two Of the requisites Of good fire
man are nerve and. quickness. These
are brought out to great degree II

Seifshness.

1t is curious how little selhshness Is
understood. 1t is generally assumed
to be an intense regard for oneself.
when in reality 1t Is supreme disre-
gard.
Unselfshness. on the other hand. Is
a higher regard for oneself.
Sel1shness is only a form Of destruc.
ton. 1t is produced by soul avarice
What we put into ourselves draws no
interest. 1t is constantly deterioratins
in value. Selfishness is an ingrowing
shortsightedness. Selfshnsss IL also
form Of sincerity. Selfish people de-
ceive nobody. They wear their selfish
ness on their sleeves. Their sincerity
about it is something SO apparent as
almost to cause a sense of admiration
for its genuineness.-Life.
