Angust Johnson and Herman Green irald were steeplejacks. A steeplejack Is a human fly that goes op a steeple or a smokestack or a flagpole where no one else will ven ture. He courts death -for pay. Usually he Is a sailor. Accustomed to trifle with his destiny by clinging to a swaying mast in a raging storm, his head, heart and stomach know no snch thing as alti tude. Usually also he la rough on the out side. Like tbe structural steel worker who rides the beam up into thelthel skeleton, he has become calloiig/to danger by constantly looking daath in the face. He is kin to tbe primitive man. But— His heart Is true. For the proof of which- read the story of August Johnson and Herman Greenwald. These two Jacks who toy with thq awful secret were employed-to point the lofty steeple of tbe North. Broad Street Presbyterian church in Phila delphia. August Johnson waa wording -above Oreenwald. He. lost his footing, slip ped and fell. As he fell past Herman Greenwald the latter made a tremendous effort to save hit partner. - He caught bold-of Johnson's overalls. Clinging with, one band to the steeple, he essayed to awing Johnson to a dace of safety. He failed. Both men fell to the pavement-2©(J -feet below, and two crumpled,masses of human flesh were, gathered, up for .burial. And— When the bodies were, picked np tbe heroic hand of Ureenwatd still grasped tbe overalls of .his. friend Johnson. Now- Had you seen these men before they climbed tbe steeple .yon anight.Jiare called them "roughnecks." Maybe they were. But— In the church under that steeple tbo minister doubtless often reads from a big book this statement: "Greater love hath no man than this —that he lay down JtlsJife for bis friend." If so tbe Judge of tbe great day is not likely to forget tbe mute witness of the dead band of Herman Green wald grasping the , garment of his friend. HARMONY, HEALTH. RAWNESS. And now abideth harmony, happi ness, health, these three, but— The greatest of these Is harmony. Because upon harmony depends both your health and your happiness. , Is there discord anywhere In your mind or body? Theu you are wasting energy, vitality. The less yon waste of precious vital force the mora power you have to throw off dlaease. Fadlsm? It Is a fact of medical science. When there is concord, harmony, the processes of digestion, assimilation and elimination go on without fric tion. Food goes to tbe right place and nourishes the cells of body and brain. But— Introduce discoid;. Indulge in a fit of anger or envy; agitate your mind to the point of worry. Instead of go: Ing to the right place the food goes to waste and clogs the system. Tbe trouble? Lack of cooperation, harmony. There is variance, diecord. In the warring of the members force Is lost and you are rendered liable to dlaease through weakness. What is true of digestion* Is also true of the nervous system. Discord will set your nerves to jangling "like sweet bells oot of tune." They be come ragged edged, Jerky and nag yon. The end? Prostration. And so of the clrculstlon of tbe blood.and many other functions of the body. Harmony is a swat physician. It promotes digestion, thrills the body and mind with vital energy, steadies the nerves—makes yon a man alive! Harmony, happiness, health. "A threefold cord is not easily broken." Harmonise your life. Allow noth ing. least of all the petty things, to move yon from your polae. Science will tell yon that hatred and Jealousy and fear sre rest poison. It. has been established by many labora tory experiments that they distil a deadly toxin In tbe blood. On tbe other hand, the higher emo- tions, such as love, hope, Joy, peace, courage, are real blood eibtira. Harmonise your- Hfe. The pooaWiHl ties of It are within ywar own grasp. EVE. A New York man of appreciation fa vors the building of a monument to Eve, the first woman. Why not? No woman waa more* deserving. First of all. she wss doomed for her natural life to live with Adam, the sua who Ud behind his wlfe'a petti eoata, so to apeak. Also She waa as prsgasaalve as aay suf fragist Kaewlng that the penalty for sating was wisdom, "she took of the Crult thereof and did eat" She was the beginning of wisdom. Before Adam, slow moving, even ven tared to piock tbe fruit she choee wis dom. And in real wisdom have her daughter* outran their brothers. Also she was generoea She divided the applo and the con sequences with Adam. Bbe aright have eaten end kept ber secret, leading her ignorant ewala around by tbe noo* lilt lito sat," which, my brothers, was— A nsrtow escape. Above all else. Eve scceptod tbe sit nation as It wss without whimpering or excuse. And she patiently accepted tbe piece of ecapegoat Adam whined to the Atefebtl> "The woman thog * gavest to be with me, sbe gave me of ' tbe tree, and I did eat" The woman) It baa been tbo way of all the sons of Adam—laying the blitme for tbe family on the frail shoulders of Eva Sbe did what she thought to be the beet thing for tbe family. She waf tired of living in a fool's paradise, where the family never would amount to anything And when abe gave the ■ family a chance, to say tbe least, it ' was ungrateful. And abe? »- t Without whining about the lost Eden i abe started a combined tailor abop and . dressmaking establishment and fixed up tbe family wardrobe. It-was tbe way of a woman. Before' Adam knew where be "waa ' at" her quick wita noted the family L needs, snd her quick fingers fsshloned I the best garments she could provide on - short notice. " Let tbe monument rise. I am but a mere man, but I am quite Willing to contribute my share, for I . confess to an ardent admiration for | my primitive mother. | AT CHURCH. , He aat across from me. When the hymn was annonnced he looked up tbe number and banded the r book to a lady in bis pew. He took an , other bymnal and, finding tbe place. Joined heartily in tbe alnglng. He sang as If to him it waa an act of worship. When prayer waa made be reverently I bowed bis head. I could acarcely keep my eyes off him, be was snch a manly, fresh col-. ored, clean looking yOung fellow. Aft er the service I sought him out and shook hands with him. He waa a trav . eling man in town over Sunday. A short conversation confirmed my . .good opinion. Ho confeously acknowl edged that tbe service snd the sermon ; were very helpful. Now— -Why do not more young men like this . ooe attend the church? la it because of tbe feeling—deplora -1 -bly .«revatentv-Ahat oberch attendance : l«. unmanly and only (or women and old.men? -Or because of ,a-fsoling—almoat wlde j ly prevalent—that, as a role, young women have a preference for lrrell gloua, freetblaklng, rapid -going young men? It Is a mistake. ' Nothing better becomes a young man ' than church attendance. And It Is also true thst right thinking young women ' —and all others are unworthy—admire. 1 most of all in a man, manliness and strength, force snd character. 1 And ' If to these qualities are added sever- I ent tboughtfulness and a sense of de -1 pendency on a higher power that 1 makes for righteousness, why, sucb a ' man's esteemed beyond price. 1 Do not misjudge. Everybody hates a hypocrite. And there Is reserved for tbe young fellow who cloaks religion for an unworthy - purpose tbe supreme contempt of a womanly woman. But— i Down deep in the heart of every wo i man is respect for tbe man wbo does ' not parade his religions principles, but r who is not ashamed to express them i publicly. I make no doubt, mind you, there are plenty of good young fellows wbo for I some reason seek to hide tbelr religious emotions. s Which is false modesty and un i worthy. If you have a religion do not be ! ashamed of It. I And if you have none do not be proud of that YOUR. BOY. I This is a serious talk to parents con corning tbe boy—tbe common, everyday garden variety of boy. He Is a great Institution.^ Ha is bigger than facjpiy or farm or - business because be has In blm the 1 making of a man, and s man is tbe ' biggest thing In tbe universe.

MUCK, CUMrrtOH. I Ever hear sboat Chariee Sunderland et Alton,-III? - Although he has neither fingers nor . bands and only the poor stump of an ! arm, Sunderland Is a prosperous home | owner and a popular citteen. The peo- ( pig are proud of i}im because— GRAHAM N. C., THURSDAY, MARCH 38,1912. ' With only the piece of an arm he baa , won a home, wife and babies. Thla is the story: At the age of nine 7ears Sunderland waa supporting his father's family. One day while he waa feeding a cane mill the cruel machine took off one arm at the shoulder and the other at the elbow. Ilia first words on recov ering consciousness were— ■ "Who will chop wood for you now, mar' riuck? When the boy got out of the hospi tal he did not mo|ie nor pose aa a hope leas cripple. He learned how to chop wood with bis stub. Aa ho grew up Sunderland saved money by hauling wood and bought a team." Now be owns two teams and does most of the heavy hauling busi ness In Alton. He loads coal or aand by grasping tbe shovel In the bend of his elbow, puts It against bis side and with a body motion throws the shovel upward. How does he drive? A He puts the lines over his shoutdw. wrapping them around hla half an arm. And bis son Fred saya, "Pa can! hitch up a team faster than I can." nia family: 1 Tears ago Sunderland married a wid ow with Ave children. He has father ed all of tbem, educated them and sent them out Into tbe world to prosper. He bad a second flock of three, tbe oldest of whom, Fred, drives one of tbe teams. Wby shouldn't Charles Sunderland be called Alton's "most representative citizen?" This la his sentiment: "Anybody ought to be thankful for being able to irnke a detent living, arma or no arms, and ralae a family of his own." And so he goes his way to hla work whistling and content. And you! Tou have two good arms, two good handa and ten good Angers—twelve times as much as he. And yon complaint When you read the story of gritty, prosperous Charles Sunderland of Al ton, are yon not Just the leaat bit ashamed of yourself? Underground Water. Water Is found in some amount ia all formations below tbe earth's sur face, from tbe loosest and most porous sands and gravels to the hardest slate and granite. The amount varies from tbe merest trace chemically combined in the molecules of tbe rocks to Im mense reservoirs which supply wells flowing hundreds of thousands of gal lons a day. Some waters are so pure ! that a refined chemical analysis shows only minute traces of organic and min eral matter; others are so heavily charged with mlnerala or other Im purities as to be unsuitable for uae. Tbe slope of the surface at any point la one factor determining tbe amount of water absorbed by tbe ground. Tbe direction and amount of slope also de termine tbe form of the water table that la, of the upper limit of satura tion. Except where*the surface ia flat tbe water table Is generally not par allel with the snrfuce. It la almost,ln variably fnrtbest from tbe surface on the summits of bills and mountalna and nearest to It In valleys and along tbe coast, reaching the surface in swamps and along, river/, lakes and beaches. Tbe surface'of tlte water ta ble Is always in motion. Its higher por tions flowing toward the lowest outlets nlong rivers or the sea. This direction of flow explains wby fresh water Is usually fnumt when a well Is dug in • sandy beach. 0 Ancient Roman Dentistry.

An engineer by profes sion, while engaged on tbe work of making a preliminary surrey on a pro poaed ral|fMd he was accustomed to stop overnight or for meals at farm boa see. During this time be mlgbt have stopped at a dtoaea houaee in each of which be had asaa from one to e dosen persons. One dsy some time after tbe survey bad been completed be received a note signed "Mary Warfleld." It was writ ten In tbe handwriting of a woman and confessed that be had stayed at the house In which sbe lived wblle tbe railroad waa being surveyed and she bad fallen hi love with him. He prob ably would not wish to Had her and If he did be could not do 00, for she did not at tbe time sbe wrote blm live at tbe came place. Her love was eat ing ber life away. Nevertheleea she would not be so unfemlnlne as to ask blm to love ber. The only satlafsc tlon she allowed herself waa to Inform him of ber love. Young was Just tbe maa te be Im preeaed by a circumstance which nine In ten men. though tbey might feel • Mt flattered, would cast aalde aa a matter of no moment whatever. He bad no deefre to Sad tbe writer of th* note, for he waa a asaa of culture white sbe waa doubtless with little ot no education. But be thought about this girl who waa dying for Mm aad wondered If aba aaed tbe word liter ally. Vroaa tbteklag be caam to brood log.

It waa near aa im portant school building, aad aeveral ' women teachers boarded there. It to ' aald that In tbe profeaslon of teechlng tbere are no prises. Teachers don't get rich. They eeldom make—at leaat a* teachers—any mark in tbe world. Nev ertheless tbelr Uvea are on an Intellec tual plane. With tboee la thla boose where Young boarded he became Inti mate. One or two of tbem abowed him sufficient favor to warrant bis making love to tbem. The one he fancied moat Miss Virginia 'Martin, sscmed rather shy of him. Perhaps It waa because of this shy aees and that Miss Martin was tbe prettiest of tbodot that be liked her tbe best Tbere was In ber something of that emotioual aatare which waa la blm, tboagh emotional doee not aa correctly express it in her oaae aa in Ma. She waa. rather, oae of tboee per aoua to whom tbe pbraaa "still waters nut deep" applies. Young, after dinner in the evening, would great deal with tbe young tedtoe, and very aoon tbey, dlacorering which way tbe wind Mew, would one by eae go off to their seomf, leaving Mm aad Miss Martin together. That waa tbe beginning of it. Tbe end of It was aa eagagement between tbem. But before the engagement Young told tbe girl about tbe letter be bad re ceived algned "Mary Warfleld" anil confeeeed that It bad made a marked lmpreeelon on him. Then he aaked ber If she thought be was by any higher tew than to usual In such eaaes bound to thla poor girl, who had aaoaymoualy tnnfsossd ber love far Mai. Mlsa Mar tin coaldnt see that ha was.
