The conference, which was int

rates with an earnest desire to reach
such a conclusion as wll he satisfac

Is It Right?
Is It right that a property owner
should lose 14.20 to let a dealer make
50 cents? A dealer makes 50 cents
more on fourteen gallons of ready-for-
use paint, at $1.50 per gallon, than
our agent does on eight gallons of L.
& M. paint and six gallons of linseed
oil, which makes fourteen gallons of
the best paint In the world, at $1.20
per gallon; the property owner loses
Just $4.20. 1b It rght?
It only requires 4 gallons of L. &
M. and 3 gallons linseed oil to paint
a moderate sized house.

"I can climb the face of any build
ing In this city or any other city on
earth. 1 have climbed some of the
most difficult buildings In this man’s
town. And, say, let me put It down
right here, It is a cinch to climb build
ings alongside of chimneys."
So spoke Steeplejack John Garrick
recently when a reporter for the Now
York World wanted to know how he
kept bis uerve while climbing along the
sheer sides of the Flatiron building in
New York like a human fly. -^jp —*
Garrick has literally startled New
York. Thousands have watched him
dig his fingers and toes in the shallow
interstices of the Flatiron walls and go
up and down as steadily qs a man on a
flight of stairs. He hus descended the
twenty stories—270 feet—and he has
ascended from the ninth to the six
teenth story.
Like all famous climbers, Garrick
was u sailor In his youth. Then he be
came a steeplejack. From that he
went to the balloon and parachute.
For tile last six summers he has been
hanging awnings.
Garrick never gets scared. He says:
“Some of the buildings which I have
climbed are the Broad Exchange, the
Whitehall building, 320 Broadwoy, the
Produce Exchange and the Atlantic
building. The average height of these
buildings is about fifteen stories. I
have had a few accidents, but none
very serious. A fellow In my business
can’t expect to get free all the time.
“I suppose I’ll get mine sooner or
later, but 1 make myself mighty sure
of my grip and foothold before I ven
ture forth. Hut when sure nothing
feazes me.
“My feet aro small. I wear a seven
and a half shoe, and they are Just as
safe to me 2,000 feet up in the air as
they are on the sidewalk.
“I ain not one of those fellows who
never look down or up. I can look
any old way. It never feuzes me. I
feel perfectly easy. I never suffer
from any dizzy effects. If I ever did
I would let go-; that’s all.”
This daring man Is five feet ten
Inches tall and weighs 140 pounds.
His build Is peculiarly adapted to
climbing. Ills hands have long, thick,
powerful Augers. He Is bowlegged
aud very muscular In his thighs and
the calves of his legs. He has the ap-
pearauoe of belug very wiry.
He is nimble on his feet and wears
his shoes over on the side and at the
tip of the toe. Indicating that his toes
are as powerful In hanging on to any
thing as his Angers. When shaking
hands with a person his grip Is like an
Iron vise.
No steeple climber has equaled John
Garrick’s feat of climbing up ths bare
walls of the Flatiron building. Other
men have climbed to dizzy heights, but
none baa done so without some kind of
harness.
Do everything well; make that the
rule of your life, and live up to it,
and you will find It most conducive
to your own happiness and to the
happiness of those with whom you
are brought Into contact.
The Milky Way is the title given

Macon Fair.. The electrical display
will be dazzling.
BEGINNING OF A FLORIDA FEUD.
One Man’s Farm Floated Away in the
Night and a Neighbor Caught It.
“Speaking about feu 1s, said John
L. Humphries, of Tampa, Fla.. “I
think that the strangest, In its in
ception, at least, is one between two
families in Marion county, In our
state.
“It came about in this way: You
know, in our state sometimes land
disappears during the night, and a
man wakes up to find his garden a
great sinkhole. This is, of course,
due to the fact that Florida Is built
on coral, and not very substantially
built at that, especially In some of
the Interior counties. Harry Redding
had a nice patch of Irish potatoes,
and Oliver Vance, his neighbor, had
what he called a farm, and near the
house was a sinkhole.
“One night Redding's potato patch
disappeared and the next morning he
had a nice large kink hole ’filled with
water where the garden was. The
same night Vance, who had a sink
hole when he went to bed, woke up
to find that the hole was filled with
dirt, In which there seemed to be a
lot of pebbles about the size of a
man’s fist. Naturally, he was sur
prised. He examined the pebbles to
find them potatoes, and after calling
the family up, they got to work and
gathered in six bushels of potatoes,
ready for market.
‘That’s where the trouble began.
Redding claimed that under the law,
where a man’s stock wanders on to
the premises of another without his
fault, he can go after it. He argued
that the same doctrine applied to po
tatoes which had wandering habits.
For he was very sure that the pota
toes on the Vance farm belonged to
him. Vance and his friends Invoked
another principle of law that a man
who owns his land from heaven to
hades, and he refused to dig up the
potatoes for the benefit of his neigh
bor.
“All that happened ten years ago,”
continued Mr. Humphries, “and the
Reddings and the Vances are still
armed against each other. Two or
three skirmishes have taken place
between the parties and one of the
Vance boys, 18 years old, was wound
ed by fire from the enemy.
“They have never spoken to each
other since that eventful night ten
years ago. Lawyers and politicians
have gone out to help them settle
their difficlties, but they were obdur
ate, and if the feud grows for twenty
years as it has already, Florida and
Marlon county will have a feud equal
to the best that Kentucky has ever
produced.”—Denver Republican.
The manager of the California air
ship that has been secured for the
fair in Macon will kindly allow one
man a day to go up with him. Here
is a chance for somebody.
Will the Republican party ho able
to get its “life Insured’’ in the big in
surance companies in 1908?
