MEN WITH NERVES OF IRON
Remarkable Feats That Are Said to Have Been Performed by Eng
 fish Steeplejacks.

The business of being a steeplejack has very strangely run through" set eral families of England. At Noting ham there was a family named Woot- ton, members of which had for centu- ries the reputation of being daring steeple climbers, not for adventure but in the way of business.
 One of these Woottons, in the time of George III, was famous for repair ing steeples and spires without using scaffolding; he did his work by the help of ladders, hooks and ropes. When he repaired St. Peters spire, Noting ham, in 1789, having finished his work, he beat a drum at it's top, thousands of people looking on.
 Another of the Woottons undertook the perlous task of ascending the spire of St. Marys, Manchester, which was very lofty. By a tremendous wind the ball and cross had been bent down, and looked dangerous. This steeple clmb- CT raised ladders one after the other, assisted by blocks and ropes, and secured each in succession to the stone work with clamps. When he got near the top of the spire the work became more difficult, and the spectators anx- iously watched him as he fixed the last ladder. Having accomplished this feat, Wootton stepped from the ladder on to the crown or pinnacle of the steeple and stood quite upright, with his hands free. Then he raised a cheer, which was responded to by the crowds below More extraordinary still, one of these steeple-climbers is said to have per formed the feat of standing upon his head on a steeple top.

CaIomeI Users! Listen To Me!

Your druggist gives back your money if it doesn't iven your liver and bowels and straghten

Ugh! Calomel makes you sick. It's horrible Take a dose of the dangerous drug tonight and tomorrow you may lose a days work.
 Calomel is mercury or quicksilver which causes necrosis of the bones. Calomel, when 1t comes into contact with sour bile, crashes into 1t, breaking it up. This is when you feel that awful nausea and cramping.

TRIAL TRIP BY MOONLIGHT
tive Kept, and He Didn't Know How to Run It.

An interesting incident of the first Canadian railway, which ran from La prarie on the St. Lawrence river to St. Johns on the Richelieu, under the name of the Champlain X St. Lawrence rail way, is related in Prout's Railways of Canada.
 The first locomotive used on the line came from Europe, accompanied by an engineer who, sfor some unexplained reason, had it caged and secreted from public view. The trial trip was made by moonlight in the presence of few interested persons, and it is not de- scribed as a success. Later, the i'm ported engineer made several attempts to set the kitten-for such was the nickname applied to this pioneer loco motive-in motion toward St. Johns but in vain; the engine proved refrac- tory, and horses were temporarily sub stituted for it.
 Meanwhile, the railway officials call ed in a practical engineer from the United States, who announced that the engine, which was thought to be hope lessly unmanageable, was in good or der and required only plenty of wood and water. His opinion proved cor rect, for after a little practice the en- zine attained the extraordinary speed of 20 miles an hour.-Youth's Com panion.

Folly of RidictIIe

A moment of indulgence in ridicule may create lifelong resentment, notes q student.
 The late Richard Mansfield Is said to have nursed q grievance against Henry Irving for years. The reason was that Irving had momentarily in- dulged little weakness he had for making sardonic remarks.
 Ridicule of persons strikes at per sohal vanity. And vanity is a very common weakness. Few escape it al- together.
 And this kind of ridicule, In fact all kinds, on examination. will be found to be associated with vanity. In ridi- culing there is invariably the desire to show how clever one Is oneself.

Sunday morning, February 10. prom lses to be notable in the churches of the state.
 On that date the pastors of the churches in Arkansas will preach a special patriotic sermon on "Conser- vation." They will deliver such Q mes sage at the request of Hamp Williams, federal food administrator for Arkan- sas
 The "call to the colors" of the min isters, MT Williams explained was due to the fact that there is a marked lack of observance of conservation of food in the private homes of the peo- pie of Arkansas. Over sixty thousand persons in the state have signed cards, pledging their word to the government they would be faithful in that patriotic feature, but those pledged, judging by reports that Mir Williams has receiv ed are not being kept.
 The Food Administrator believes that special message from every pulpit in the state on this topic would be of vital importance to the govern ment and bring about a spirit of san- ing that would get wonderful results He is of the opinion the people are not thinking seriously about the war and the part they should play in as- sisting the government He wants the ministers to make their eongregd- tions realize every man and woman has a personal obligation to discharge to their God and their country.
 Scripture fairly teems,n said Mr Williams, with truths relative to say ing and conservation. The main ob- ject of Christ on earth was to save the world He manifests the true spirit of conservation in one of His greatest miracles. When He fed the five thou sand that had gathered to hear Him speak, providing every person with enough to eat from five barley loaves and two small fish. He ordered His disciples to gather up what was left in order that nothing would be wasted That is a powerful thought to drive home
 We have been charged with vast ing our spiritual and moral substance When those things go or are not given the consideration due them, the ma terial things, the necessities of life, are given little attention I haven't the words to adequately express the good that will result to the go<ern- ment if special sermons on 'Conserva- tion' are preached by the pastors of the state. They have it within their power to bring a great message to their people and make those who hear such sermons think seriously about this war. When we can awaken the people to their responsibilities then we will begin to get results. *''
