Now comes the funny part -they wanted consumers to get $200. and were determined they should. So they paid another $200 to the two consumers who had sent in the two largest number of tickets.

Sixteen years ago when he was n sailor Ill the United States navy, he performed his first feat of climbing, when he gilded à cock on the top of a steeple at Bremen.

Ile decided to adopt steeple climb- ing as a profession and has since fed - THE AMERICAN STEEPLE CLIMBER. lowed it. As is natural In such dan- geroua work he has met with scores of accidents, but he seems to bear a charmed life. While working on the top of a pole in New York he received an electric shock and, lotting his head, Jumped to the roof of the building, a distance of 75 feet. He escaped un-•• harmed, and in a short time was )lack again at work. At another time be wan painting a nag pole on a school building in New York when the polo ‚dipped through the roof like a shot end when he carne to he was sitting on the roof with the top of the pole clasped In his arma. He was badly bruised, but wanted to continue his work. Ills greatest feat was the placing of a flag -staff on top of the Eiffel Tower in l'aria. During the sixteen years he has been in bushier's he has climbed 2,207 flag poles anti si rt y-threeateeples. He Mies no sea ff old In g whatever.
