NEIGHBORLY DUTY WELL DONE
social ExactiOns BraveIy Met, Though
Task Put Them on the
jump.

In the Businesses OF the A~dirondacks,
social functions In which the natives figure
are few and far between. These events are
~chronicled far and wide, planned for weeks
In advance and form the topic OF con-
versation for weeks afterwards.
Recently the wife of one Of the leading
citizens Of a small town in Franklin county
issued invitations for a reception to be
held at her home. These invitations were
sent out about two weeks in advance, and
the whole countryside discussed the prob
abilities of the entertainment with great in
teFest.
Among the invited guests were two
sisters, daughters OF an aged farmer in
the vicinity. This farmer, sad to relate,
died two days before the day set for the
reception. The hostess Of the reception
heard Of the death, and also learned that
the funeral had been fixed for 9 O'Clock OF
the same afternoon on which she was to
receive her guests. The hour OF the re-
ception had been fixd for 5 o'clock.
In the country there is little Of the
fashionable delay so prevalent In more
thickly settled communities, when il comes
TO attending social gatherings, and at 5
o'clock the hostess was busy shaking hands
with her guests. She was amazed In the

passed to hush or the girl would surely
fall. The crowd hardly dared to breathe.
Sergeant Hess took the responsibility Of
breaking down the door, With others, he
got out on the porch roof only to find that
he could not reach the girl from there, as
he had planned. While the men were
standing, baked for the moment and Won
dering what they would do Eext, Miss
Thomas put her head out Of the window
and called up commandingly to the girl;
Wake up and come off the roof
At this every one in the crowd felt his
heart stop, for Miss Petit did wake up,
The expected did not happen, Miss Petit
awoke with a shudder and fell backward,
not forward.
''where am 1 and how did l get here?"
she enquired.
Sergeant Hess climbed out on a shutter
and Policeman Clark held him from the
window, Miss Petit was told TO slide down
the roof to the bluecoat's arms. Hess
grabbed her as she came and she was
carried to a place Of safety.-New York

MINISTER WITH THE CIRCUS
SeIls-FIOtO People Garry Their Own
Sky-Ptlot to Preach TO
EMPLOYEES.

With the Sells-Floto circus, that will
show in Omaha on Monday, July u, is a
regularly ordained minister of the gospel.
His name is Rev. J. C. Merriman, a Metho-
dist in faith and was born near Beatrice,
Neb. He breaches to the show people
every Sunday and next Sunday in thisvcity
Will preach TO them on Public Play
grounds" He will dwell at length on the
effort made here for such grounds.
Rev. Mr.. Merriman says the majority of
the attaches with the Sells-Floto circus are
Catholic, the Methodists next and the
Ep~iscopalians and Baptists are tie for
third place. The Presbyterians are fourth,
the Congregationalists fifth and the Luth-
Grams sixth, The tribe OF Sioux Indians
with the show who take part in the wild
west are mostly Catholic, but Chief BAD
Boy and Chief Loves-His-Neighbor are
E~piscopalians.
Next Sunday those who visit the show
grounds at Twentieth and Pau streets will
witness the horses being scrubbed-the In
dams also. The baby ponies, baby lions,
baby tigers, baby camels and baby monkeys
will be fed from bottles and swung in
hammocks, just as If they were real babies
In swell homes. Sells-Floto are very proud
of their baby wild animal nursery and find
1t a great delight to little children
The circus management announces that
the elephants will be massaged, except
Basil, go years old, mother of Jumbo.
This old gal is bathed In buttermilk and
Doc Waddell asserts It is shipped from
Kansas, and that Basil knows tina brand
and will have no other.
The dental colleges OF the country are
investigating the Ty-Bell sisters, who are
spun under the dome of the high tent at
a merry clip while suspended by their
teeth. Experts who have examined their
teeth say they are double rowed and of a
material that closely resembles pearl. Yet
they say while their teeth are different
and stronger than other peoples to accom-
plish their high air sensation they must
have the muscles OF the back Of their
necks developed to Withstand the awful
strain they are subjected to. And the Ty-
Bells admit this.
Probably the most daring new act is
THE Passing OF the Satanos." Two dare
devils on roller skates go down a respec-
tive incline so rapidly the press agent
says that they are in a perfect vacuum,
without the life giving oxygen. The curves
at the bottom Of the inclines hurl the
skaters into space, and as they pass in
the air each turns a double somersault
and leaps into a tank Of burning gasoline.

MAN WHO GAVE US BANANAS
He Was n Yankee skipper who Woke
Up Jamaica and Made n
Fortune.

Captain Lorenzo D.. Baker. who died in
the Parker house, Boston, on Sunday, was
the man who brought bananas to young
America. Captain Baker always said that
the sale Of bananas went up in school
vacation times, and Captain Baker knew,
for he was head of the only trust that
caters directly to the country's little citi-
gems.
Lorenzo Dow Baker was born up in the
Cape Cod country sixty-eight years 49,.
His father was skipper and owner Of a
whaler. and at 10 years of age the boy
went out on his fathers ship to learn the
rough lesson of the seas. Like most OF the
old Cape Cod boys this y~oungster learned
his lesson well and at p he was fit to be
master Of a vessel. His father gave him
an old schooner and his blessing, and with
this endowment Lorenzo Baker started
out to win his way.
lie thought then that the best thing that
could come to him, as he often told his
friends later, was to be owner OF "a good,
fine ship" and to sail where re wished for
profit and excitement. One of the earliest
voyages he made was to the mouth of the
Orinoco on contract for an English firm Of
traders.
On his return from South America Cap
tain Baker put his little 100 ton schooner
in 70 Port Morant, Jamiaca. He bought a
cargo of cocoanuts, coffee and pimento to
take back home with him, and as an after
thought and more or less OF an experiment
he piled the forward deck high with
lunches of green bananas picked by the
natives from the trees that grew wild
about the port. The bananas had not been
picked green enough and they rotted before
Captain Bakers schooner got to New York.
The idea stuck with him, however, and
back he went for more of the wild bananas.
The second trip Captain Baker made to
the standard that was thirty-seven years
ago-he began to ask the plantation owners
why they did not bring the wild banasas
In from the forests and plant them where
the sugar cane he'd grown. He even went
around among the small fruit peddlers Of
the native population urging that they
clean up their few acres of ground and
start the banana trees to growing. He
had Goldfish and herring and boots, besides
colored handkerchief and gewgaws, that
he would always trade for bananas, urged
the Yankee skipper.
He took back something more than 1000
stems on that trip, purchasing them from
the natives at about Is cents a stem. They
went at wholesale in New York and Boston
at prices ranging from $3.50 to 1925. 1t
needed no skipper from Cape Cod to dis
cover that there was profit in that TRANSACT
ton.
Thence on for nine years Captain Baker
made four or five trips a year to and from
Port Antonio and New York and Boston.
The Englishmen of Jamaica have been so
sensible of Captain aker's inflence upon
the fortunes Of the island that they have
always paid him signal honor. Not long
ago a testimonial tea service. the gift of the
corporation of Kingston, was presented 10
Captain Baker by the governor of the
colony.-New York Sun.

THRILLING CLIMB WHILE SLEEP
Girl S~OmnambuIist Climbs to Roof of
House and Calmly Sits
on Fave.

A l9-year-old girl walking in her sleep.
clambering over a building front and over
roof and caves, narrowed the feelings of
Georgetown, d. c.. residents in the early
hours Of June q. The neighborhood was
aroused by her screams, ard still the girl
did not awake. To the f~astness OF her
slumber she ives her life.
Miss Sadie Petit occupies the house at
1924 p street alone with Miss Mary Thomas.
an elderly woman. Miss Thomas is deaf,
and in all the excitement when rescuers
were seeking an entrance to the house TO
ascend 10 the roof she gave no heed and
the door had to be battered in. The girl
sat on the ledge of the building for an
hour, her feet dangling toward the side
walk, and slept on, while the crowd below
was at a loss to know how to reach her
until the eXpedient of house-breaking was
adopted. This had been delayed, fearing
that the noise would awaken the sleeper,
and every one was certain that if she
awoke she would fall.
Police were summoned and there was talk
Of calling out the fire department, but
again 1t was said that this would be GER
tain to wake up the girl and her death
would surely follow.
Miss Petit smashed every pane OF glass
in the window Of her room, which is on the
second floor, and climbing out on a frat
water pipe, worked her way along the side
of the building until she reached the root
Of the porch. From there she climbed the
water pipe TO the roof, which rises almost
perpendicularly above the ledge. Creep
ing along the gable she got to a small brick
projection which juts out AZ the rear Of the
house, Dressed only In her night clothing
she stood on this dizzy footing and cried
at the top OF her voice.
Persons living In nearby houses looked
out Of their windows and saw the young
woman apparently preparing to leap. Sons
there are today who affirm that she did
leap, but she did not go over anyway. The
next instant she was sitting or clinging
loosely 10 the edge and wailing piteously.
Meanwhile, the people below in the street
were almost II a frenzy. Several physi-
cians were on the scene and word was
