Ephraim Catchpole is dead. Few people ever heard of blni while he 

 was alive, but his fame is going forth since his death because he accom- 

 plished the unusual feat of holding one Job flfty-four years without promo- 

 tion, demotion or vacation. It was a simple Job, working the log saw 

 in a little mill at Lelston, England. Saws wore out and were replaced

 weeks, and died. Ills horizon was limited but it lasted a long time, and 

 what It larked in breadth was made up in length.
