JUST TO TEST HIS NERVE

Just by way of making sure bls nerves were steady, Dare Devil Johnny Reynolds went to the roof of a five-story building in the heart of the business section of New ’ York city and performed balancing stunts on a cornice extending two feet from the front of the building, which took the breath out of thousands of spectators who anxiously watched him from the street below. He obtained three ordinary kitchen tables of which the tegs were not at an secure, placed one upon the other, put a chair on the top table, placed the hind legs of another chair on the outer edge of the seat and with one foot on the back of the first chair and the other on the seat of the second, he Juggled the halls without the least concern or worry. To the amazed street audience it looked an evident attempt at suicide, but Johnny Reynolds.came down M fresh and round as ever.
