BOY HOLDS RECORD
Sk-Year-0Id Child Climbs a
Stack ESQ Feet in Air.
Follows In Footsteps Of Forefathers
and Helps His Parent Win
Wager From His Fellow
Steeple-Jack.

New York-Six years cid. and a

1t was born In Danny Klein. son of
William Klein, of 8 Hays street. New
ark His father and grandfather and
great-grandfathers followed that line
Of work. and it is only natural that
Danny should take to dizzy heights.
When he went to the top OF the Cor
ham laundry in Newark the other day
and swung there, $50 feet from
the ground. while his little hand piled
a paint brush, he earned the title
OF the youngest steeple-jack in the
world.
His going up the stack. however,
was the result Of wager between his
father and Thomas Breen, a brother
Jack" They were talking about the
steeples they had climbed. the stacks
they had been up, the heights they
had surmounted, and how many years
they had been In the business.
Klein hoasted that his father and
bis grandfather before him had been
steeple-Jacks, and that his father went
into the work when he was six years
old. Il don't believe it." said Breen.
candidly. There amt any kid Of six
that's going to go to the top of a
stack or anything else"
There amt. amt there?~ inquired
Klein. I've got a six-year-old kid
that will go up any stack you name.
I've got $25 says So
You're on" responded Breen. and
the men Immediately began making
arrangements for little Danny to get
up In the world. The agreement was
that the youngster was to be securely
fastened In the swing and be hauled
to the top of the Gorham laundry
stack, which towers ESQ feet above the
ground.

into the confidence Of Klein and Breen.
for they have habit Of interfering
with such ventures. Little Danny,
smiling and proud. seated himself in
the chair and was carefully strapped
In minute later. he was dangling
against the side of the stack, going
steadily upward and Tending" with
his toes, as his father taught him to
do, to keep away from the scorchins
metal. for there was heat in the
stack.
Half way up the holsters halted
and his father called up to the young
ster to learn how he was feeling
Fine, dad" came down the answer
"How's the weather down there?'
Up and up he went until he reached
the very top. He dipped his brush In
his paint bucket and went to work
like a veteran. Breen looked on in
stricken silence for minute and then
said: THE moneys yours. Klein.
It's worth that much to see that a
kid can do It. But it's born In him."
A great crowd gathered to watch
the Juvenile steeple-jack, and when be
was finally lowered to The ground
again there was rush OF women to
hug him and men to shake his hand
and congratulations poured in on him
and on the father Of such a plucky
lad"
How did you like it?' inquired one
of the little fellow.
