GOT OUT THROUGH sKYLIGHT
Brooklyn Woman, Locked In Office
Building, Left. by the Roof In
stead of the Door.

A prisoner in her ladies' tailoring
shop on the top floor of the 5-story
building at 40 East Broadway, New
York, Mrs. NJ. w. Winston, weight
$50 pounds, was eventually rescued
a few days ago from her predicament
by two fremen, policeman and
janitor, who lowered ropes from the
roof Of the building through the sky
light.
Mrs. Winston, whose home is at
795 De Kalb avenue, Brooklyn, went
to her shop in the morning to finish
some work, and requested the janitor
to leave the front door open so she
could get out. The janitor forgot his
instructions and Mrs Winston found
the door on the lower floor locked
when she wanted to leave.
AS she realized there was no other
method Of getting out she attracted
crowd by pounding on the glass
panels OF the door, but the SPECTATOR
were unable to understand her pre3
dicament. She then returned to the
fifth floor, wrote a note explaining
she was locked in and threw 1t out
the window.
The crowd read II and offered sug-
gestions, while a more thoughtful
person hurried to Engine Company

skylight. Stephens was lowered into
the room and. after considerable per-
suasion, Mrs Winston allowed the
rope to be tied about her waist.
The three men then pulled and fin
ally got their burden to the roof.
Stephens was pulled up later. After
thanking her rescuers Mrs. Winston
hurried home.

Those rascals thrive while honest men
must toll for slender gains.
Though brass may take the fair rewards
that should be won by brains.

fend the laws

Keep on. oh We that honestly pursue the
upward way.
Wrong never yet has managed 10 escape
its Judgment day.
Belshazzar's palace lies in dust and Car
thage is no more,
The aristocracy of France repaid in full
with gore;
A Stuart's head fell from the block. no
Stuart wears a crown;
The walls that Infamy erect are sure to
crumble down.
They may sometimes loom very high.
their outlines may be grand.
But always underneath them there is only
shifting sand.
Though rascals. laughing at the law, walk
out through prison gates,
Though Justice is led far astray by cum
ming advocates,
Though judges serve the rascars ends
and scorn the public's right,
Though foul Corruption's Shiny trails are
everywhere In sight,
The wrongs will have their ending In the
DID, old-fashioned way;
Keep on, hope on, oh We that serve to
haste the Judgment day.
