Wager Won by n Wisconsin Miss Who
Performed n Daring Feat.

ASHLAND, Mass. Aug. 24.-Miss Jessie
Foote. who lives with her father. Adrian
Foote. on Concord street. climbed the stee-
pie on the Methodist Church. Alden street,
this afternoon. a distance of 135 feet. and
after calmly viewing her surroundings de-
scended TO mother earth again to receive
the congratulations of a few friends who
witnessed the feat. For several days steeple
painters have been at work on the church
steeple, and a string Of ladders was dashed
TO one side Of the steeple clear to the top.
Up this frail and treacherous stairway Miss
Foote assembled. patted the top notch of the
steeple three times with her right hand
while standing there and then came down.
The feat was accomplished on a wager. One
of the painters preceded Miss Foote to the
top and marked out a weak spot in the lad
der. so that she might use great care at
that point. II required a little longer to de-
scend than 10 make the ascent. At the
time OF the completion of the 175-foot brick
chimney at the Dwight Printing Company's
plant Miss Foote climbed up and sat on
the top for some time
