WATER GETS M UP I THE WORL Daredevil Johnnie Woods paused in megaphoning his advertisements long enough to cross himeelf. Me turned to look at the Andrews build- ing. In a few minutes he would start to climb it blindfolded. He shudder- ; them he again picked up his m one. “May God be with me,” he half prayed and half shouted. People gathered at the corner of Main and Arch streets last night to ses him perform the feat, moved un- easily. Johnnie, after he drank & wlass of water, handed him by one of his associates, got down from the rumble seat of the car he was ad tising and moved to the side of tl building. There the blindfold was ad- justed and he started to climb. Only the clang of street cars and the mauffled roar of automobiles, punctured by a few shrill yells from the urchins, broke the silence. With no difficulty he reached the second story of the building. Johnnie, after he drank a glass of water handed to him by one of hin associates, grabbed the mega- phone from another and again bel- lowed his advertisements. Then he started him climb to the third story, which he reached easily. Johnnie, after he drank a glass of water handed to him by one of his assoclates, again told all who cared to listen of the aterling qualities of a certain machine. He started his climb to the fourth story, and after thrilling the audience when his foot slipped—perhaps purposely—he made it. with the aid of a small iron hook which was placed on the side of the building. Johnnie, after he drank a glass of water handed to him by one of his associates, launched forth on the worth of the goods he was bally- hooing. Then came the difficult part of his climb; up over the cornice. With the aid of a knotted rope he made it. Johnnie refused the glass of water handed to him by ‘one of his asso- clates. He edged over to the centor of the building where a well known rubber inner tube was hanging, on a_knotted rope. Here, he said, he would test its strength. He seated himself in the inner tube and awung his feet. But evidently there had been Doubting Thomases in John- nie’s ancestry, because he kept firm hold on the projecting cornice of the building. Again the bally-hoo. Johnnie as- cended’ to the top of thé building, where he stood on his head, balan- ced himself on a chajr which was placed on another chair standing on the corner of the building, adver- tised a local steeple-jack, stood on his hands. The last trick in his bag was to stand on one foot on the extreme edge of the structure. Clasping his hands above his head like-a fighter proclaiming himself the victor, Johnnie told the fdlks t the show was over. They moved away. CRANGES GENDER Chicago, June 13. — Dr. A. V.

Two thousand dissident Moorish tribesmen have invested the post on three sides, and some fear was felt for the detail, its numbers already depleted by an ambuscade at lhel foot of the Atlas mountains, Those belieged at the post includ- ed the remainder of the two com- panies of Senegalese infantry and the company of Moroccan camel corps who came off so badly in the ambush, losing 13 known dead, 10 seriously wounded, and 83 others missing or dead. The reinforcements were in the command of General Freydenberg, the former priest whose valor in the Riffian wars brought promotion from colonel to general. Ait Yakoub is on the Sahara side of the great Atlas mountains north of the fam- ous date growing oasis of Tafilalet and a hundred miles west of the railhead at Colomb Bechar. 10 SEE PARENTS AFTER 24 YEARS I, Birobaum Sails for Kobrin, Poland on June 2 A surprise farewell party was given last night by Mrs. 8.

F. STERNBERG SAVES CHARTER G. A, R. Yeteran Gets National Recoguition for Actions In last Tuesday's Herald, ran a front page story that William F. Sternberg was appointed a general on the staff of the commander-in- chief of the G. A. R. As a G. A. R. member, General Sternberg, has been very active in the afairs of our own Stanley Post for a good many years. The General's unceas- ing efforts to further the cause of patriotism has, at last attracted na- lional attention. and we, in New Britain, hardly realise how he saved tihe day, so that there was a G. A. R. post locally for the Decoratior Day, just past. One Wednesday, the first part of May, the Stanley Post members were 10 have their month- ly meeting which is required by charter. 8. H. Woods, the com- mander was sick, and the only one, of a once large veterans' post, to appear was General William F. Sternberg. He waited for a few minutes, hoping that some other local Civil War veteran would &p- pear.
