this statement on my own au-
thority, but on the authority Of
Mr.. Harris himself. He is right
here in the room with me as I
write-and has been drinking.
It seems that Harris (who
must be quite an old man by
now, although he looks about
35) was in Rome at the time
when Pope Julius the Second
commissioned Michaelangelo to
paint something on the ceiling
Of the chapel. "Something-
anything" was the way the or.
ders read. Harris, who was
studying art at the time, heard
about it and figured out that 1t
was his dish, Michaelangelo or
no Michaelangelo.
AS Harris very well knew, MI
chaelangelo didn't really want
to do the frescoes, as he was by
trade q sculptor and felt that
painting was beneath him. (The
fact that this painting was to
be done on a ceiling made no
difference.) So, as he and
Harris were sitting around kid
ding one evening, Michaelangelo
said Friend Harris, how's about
a little ghost-painting for me?"
Harris said nothing at the time,
not speaking Italian.
Well, it turned out that what
Michaelangelo wanted was some
body to do the job for him and
sign his name to it, as he was
busy on a piece Of sculpture at
the time and had got it all fin
ished but the hips and didn't
want to drop it. You can un-
derstand how he felt. I know
that I can and Harris could. II
have just checked up on this
point.)
So the next day Harris put
on a beard like Michaelangelo's
and climbed up on the scaffold
with his paints. Michaelangelo
shaved off his beard to look like

and went back to work on his
sculpture. So everything was
hunkey-dory.
Well, as Harris puts 1t, he soon
found out that he had bitten
off more than he could chew.
For four years he lay on his
back on that scaffold, painting
and rubbing out, painting and
rubbing out, until he almost
died. II never was so cramped
in all my life," he told me. And
I can believe him.
People kept coming In and
looking up at him, but, as all
they could see was his back and
little fringes of his beard, they
thought that it was Michaelan-
gelo sure enough, and, as the
stuff seemed to be coming
along all right, nobody ever
questioned him. Raphael, whose
friends had induced the Pope
to give Michaelangelo the JON
hoping that he would show
himself up, kept popping in
and out and were furious at the
way things were going. There
isn't anything bad enough that
Harris can say about Raphael.
Four years is a long time to
lie on your back and paint on
a ceiling. Harris says that he
wouldn't do it again for a mill
lion dollars. When he finally got
down, leaving the whole thing
unfinished because his back
hurt so, he changed boards with
Michaelangelo and went back to
his own studio. "I'm frankly
fed up!" he said. Finish 1t

And Michaelangelo, who

cording to Harris) said: 20.

they let it go, and that IS why

SHARP SHOTS AT
 CITY LABORERS
Man With Pick and Shovel Shining Mark For Cafi- paign Orators
STREET DEPT ACTIVITIES

One had to watch his step last night at Liberty and Mill streets where the republican rally was held else he stood in danger of dropping into one of the excavations opened in connection with the improve ment being made by the city at that point. The laying of the new water main in Liberty street from Balwin to Mill street, and othor general repairs including fixing the bridge over the railroad tracks and Mad river, is the biggest job done since the great battle which took place years ago when the Liberty street bridge was ordered built.
 The orators informed their hear CTS on what they propose to do after they get into the city hall. some of them referring now ana then to "the street department loafers", but never even hinted at the arduous labor performed for Q days wage by men hustling with picks and shovcls in the ditches within hearing of thir voices. It is question if the man who tolls opening and filling in these caya- ties Is over paid for the service he renders. Tn any evcnt, nobody cares to take his job provided he can get something else to do.
