Babe Fell From Second Story

Special to The Inquirer.

READING, Pa., Dec. 22.----The 19 months old son of William Shears, residing at 1051 North Tenth street, had a miraculous escape from death to-day. Unobserved by his mother the little fellow managed to climb on to the sill of a second-story window and fell to the stone sidewalk below. Strange to say, the baby was not hurt.
