Alfred Jones Falls From Second Floor Window

"The next time Alfred Jones goes to a circus he will probably watch the slack wire artists with a feeling of kinship... Jones was washing the front window in the second floor apartment of Mrs. Maggie Simms, 2434 Seventh Avenue, last Friday, when he lost his balance and fell. His plunge toward the concrete... was stayed, however, just below the sill by the wires attached to the wall and to the sign over a store on the ground floor of the building."
