HI
OT long ago, relates tho Kansas
city Journal, tho wlfo of a west
ern Kansas politician nsked him
to lay aside politics long enough
one day to dig tho potatoes In the
garden. Ho agreed to do It. After digging
for a few minutes ho went Into tho house
and said he had found a coin. Ho washed It
off and It proved to bo a silver quarter. He
put It In his Jeans and went back to work.
Presently ho went to tho housa ngaln nnd
said ho had found another coin. Ho washed
tho dirt off of It. It was a silver half dol
lar. Ho put It In hla Jeans. "I havo worked
pretty hnrd," said ho to his wife; "I guess
I'll tako a short nap." When ho awoko he
found that his wlfo had dug all tho rest of
tho potatoes. Hut sho found no coins. It
then dawned upon her thnt sho had been
"worked."
Ono hundred or moro women who at
tended a chattel mortgago foreclosure auc
tion sale of furs and cloaks at Patcrson,
N. J., In search of bnrgalns, mndo tholr
bids between sneezes, and Auctioneer
Wcsterhoff labored under difficulties duo to
tho same causa. It. A. Mitchell, proprie
tor of tho store, had sprinkled his stock
with rod pepper. This, ho explnlned, wns
dono to prcsorvo tho garments. When
Auctioneer Wcsterhoff undid tho first of tho
furs a bidder closo to him wns affected,
and In a few minutes tho sneezing epidemic
had spread to all of tho storo. Tho ex
citement wns kept up for an hour, nnd
then It wns decided to adjourn tho snip,
but a scoro of sneezing women carried off
peppor-covcred garments.
The postmaster of Chlcngo was driven
Into n corner tho other day by telegrams
from a young Indy In Knnsns City: "Hold
lottors addressed to , and to
." What could It all mean?
As soon ns the Hurllngton express could
land tho lady In Chlcngo sho hastened to
tho postmaster In person, nnd then the
story enmo out. Sho had two lovers In
tho Windy City, both of whom hnd pro
posed by mall on tho same dny, and to
each of whom tho return ninll bora an
swer tho ono affirmative, tho other nega
tive. Hut horrors! tho lottors got mixed
In tho cnvolopcs, and unless they could bo
recalled there would bo material furnished
for another short dally novel.
The postmaster was sympathetic. Ho
discovered tho lottors, assisted tho lady to
oxchango tha envelopes and was rewarded
by an Invitation to tho Wedding.
A famous and eccentric physician of Lon
don, who flourished 100 years ago, was a
tout ndvocato of a restricted diet. Ha held
that ono meal a day wns enough for any
ono, and ho practiced what ha preached.
Dut that meal I A chronicler of the tlmo
aid of It: "For over twonty years Dr.
Fordyco dined dally at Dolly's chop house,
near Paternoster row. At 4 o'clock ho en
tered and took his seat at a table always
reserved for him. A silver tanknrd full
of strong ale, a bottle of port wlno, and a
mcasuro containing a quarter of a pint
of brandy wcro Instantly placed before him.
Tha moment the waiter announced him the
cook put a pound and a half of rump steak
on tho gridiron, and on tho table some
dollcato trifle as a bonne boucho to serve
until the steak was ready. This morsel
was aomotlmes half a broiled chicken,
sometimes a plato of fish. When ho had
eaten this the doctor took ono glass of
brandy, and then proceeded to dovour his
steak. When ho had finished his meat ho
took the remainder of his brandy. (Ho
drank tho alo during his dinner.) He thei.
took his bottlo of port. Ho thus spent
dally an hour and a half, and then returned
to his house In Essex street to give his 6
o'clock lecturo on chemistry. Ho in ado no
other meal until his roturn next day at 4
o'clock to Dolly's."
Tho tallest man In the world, ns ho
claims, has been visiting different places In
Malno and hns attracted groat attention.
Ills nnmo Is Edward Heaupro, nnd his exact
height Is 7 feet 10 Inches. Heaupro Is 20
yenrs of ago and comes from tho provlnco
of Astlnlbolne, Northwest Torrltory. Ho
Is still growing and says ho expects to
roach the eight-foot mark. He says ho Is
nothing but a boy, but thero Is enough of
htm to mako half a dozon boys of ordinary
size. Ha weighs 367 pounds nnd Is n woll
built young chap. Ho wears n No. 21 shoo
and a No. 21 collar, and overywhero ha
goes ho attracts attention. In all tho hotels
whero he has ever stopped ho hns novor
found a bod long enough to accommodnto
him, so two mattresses nro plnccd length
wlso on tho floor, und on theso he stretches
out to sleep. Heaupro says ho did not be
gin to grow until he was 7 years old. Then
he began to shoot up and when ho wns 10
yonrs old he was seven feet In height. Ho
says his parents are of ordinary height, his
father being D foot 8 Inches In height and
his mother an Inch Bhorter. Deuupro Is a
great cater, smokes everything In tho
