THE TuRNIP AND THE JUGGLER.
A Novel and Astonishing Perform
ance in Chicago.

- NoNeA una ASTONISHING PcrfOrm-
ance in Chicago.
From the New York Mail and Express.
Here is story that comes from Chi
cago under date of Nov. 20: Three
turnips were thrown to-day from the
roof of the Masonic Temple to the
street, where Bedini. the juggler, wide
ly known on the vaudeville stage, stood,
with a fork in his mouth, to catch
them after their drop of $40 feet. A
syndicate of Palmer House sporting
men bet that he could not catch a
turnip dropped from that hight with
safety to himself and the vegetable.
1t was agreed that the juggler should
have three trials, the turnips were
wrapped in yarn so that they would not
go to pieces as they whizzed through
the air. A big crowd gathered to see
the fun.
AS thel first turnip sped swiftly from
the roof the Snowman danced about in
the street with the agility of a monkey,
and secured a position directly under
it. The turnip missed his face by an
inch
The second vegetable landed on the
forked projections of a steel band the
juggler wore on his forehead. The i'm
pact staggered him. but he stood up
bravely for the third.
The turnip came down straight, and
ii was caught fairly on the prongs of
the fork in the mouth of Bedini. The
man reeled from the blow, but recover
ed at once, and said later that a slight
headache and a shock to his teeth were
the only Inconvenience he suffered. A
check for $1,000 was his reward.
