Darios Mon Who WalkM Up and Down Dorr Woll of Plot Iron Bond ing Sop* Ho Coo Climb Foeo of Ao> Dnlldlnff on Rorfh — Merer Gel* Scored ood Hon Powerfol Torn. "I can climb the face of any build ing In this city or any other city on earth. 1 have climbed some of the most difficult buildings In this man’s town. And, say, let me put It down right here, It is a cinch to climb build ings alongside of chimneys." So spoke Steeplejack John Garrick recently when a reporter for the Now York World wanted to know how he kept bis uerve while climbing along the sheer sides of the Flatiron building in New York like a human fly. -^jp —* Garrick has literally startled New York. Thousands have watched him dig his fingers and toes in the shallow interstices of the Flatiron walls and go up and down as steadily qs a man on a flight of stairs. He hus descended the twenty stories—270 feet—and he has ascended from the ninth to the six teenth story. Like all famous climbers, Garrick was u sailor In his youth. Then he be came a steeplejack. From that he went to the balloon and parachute. For tile last six summers he has been hanging awnings. Garrick never gets scared. He says: “Some of the buildings which I have climbed are the Broad Exchange, the Whitehall building, 320 Broadwoy, the Produce Exchange and the Atlantic building. The average height of these buildings is about fifteen stories. I have had a few accidents, but none very serious. A fellow In my business can’t expect to get free all the time. “I suppose I’ll get mine sooner or later, but 1 make myself mighty sure of my grip and foothold before I ven ture forth. Hut when sure nothing feazes me. “My feet aro small. I wear a seven and a half shoe, and they are Just as safe to me 2,000 feet up in the air as they are on the sidewalk. “I ain not one of those fellows who never look down or up. I can look any old way. It never feuzes me. I feel perfectly easy. I never suffer from any dizzy effects. If I ever did I would let go-; that’s all.” This daring man Is five feet ten Inches tall and weighs 140 pounds. His build Is peculiarly adapted to climbing. Ills hands have long, thick, powerful Augers. He Is bowlegged aud very muscular In his thighs and the calves of his legs. He has the ap- pearauoe of belug very wiry. He is nimble on his feet and wears his shoes over on the side and at the tip of the toe. Indicating that his toes are as powerful In hanging on to any thing as his Angers. When shaking hands with a person his grip Is like an Iron vise. No steeple climber has equaled John Garrick’s feat of climbing up ths bare walls of the Flatiron building. Other men have climbed to dizzy heights, but none baa done so without some kind of harness. Do everything well; make that the rule of your life, and live up to it, and you will find It most conducive to your own happiness and to the happiness of those with whom you are brought Into contact. The Milky Way is the title given the midway and pike features of the Macon Fair.. The electrical display will be dazzling. BEGINNING OF A FLORIDA FEUD. One Man’s Farm Floated Away in the Night and a Neighbor Caught It. “Speaking about feu 1s, said John L. Humphries, of Tampa, Fla.. “I think that the strangest, In its in ception, at least, is one between two families in Marion county, In our state. “It came about in this way: You know, in our state sometimes land disappears during the night, and a man wakes up to find his garden a great sinkhole. This is, of course, due to the fact that Florida Is built on coral, and not very substantially built at that, especially In some of the Interior counties. Harry Redding had a nice patch of Irish potatoes, and Oliver Vance, his neighbor, had what he called a farm, and near the house was a sinkhole. “One night Redding's potato patch disappeared and the next morning he had a nice large kink hole ’filled with water where the garden was. The same night Vance, who had a sink hole when he went to bed, woke up to find that the hole was filled with dirt, In which there seemed to be a lot of pebbles about the size of a man’s fist. Naturally, he was sur prised. He examined the pebbles to find them potatoes, and after calling the family up, they got to work and gathered in six bushels of potatoes, ready for market. ‘That’s where the trouble began. Redding claimed that under the law, where a man’s stock wanders on to the premises of another without his fault, he can go after it. He argued that the same doctrine applied to po tatoes which had wandering habits. For he was very sure that the pota toes on the Vance farm belonged to him. Vance and his friends Invoked another principle of law that a man who owns his land from heaven to hades, and he refused to dig up the potatoes for the benefit of his neigh bor. “All that happened ten years ago,” continued Mr. Humphries, “and the Reddings and the Vances are still armed against each other. Two or three skirmishes have taken place between the parties and one of the Vance boys, 18 years old, was wound ed by fire from the enemy. “They have never spoken to each other since that eventful night ten years ago. Lawyers and politicians have gone out to help them settle their difficlties, but they were obdur ate, and if the feud grows for twenty years as it has already, Florida and Marlon county will have a feud equal to the best that Kentucky has ever produced.”—Denver Republican. The manager of the California air ship that has been secured for the fair in Macon will kindly allow one man a day to go up with him. Here is a chance for somebody. Will the Republican party ho able to get its “life Insured’’ in the big in surance companies in 1908?
