HE IS "ONLY A HOY." LOUIS LEWARK IS A SIZABLE YOUTH. HOWEVER. la 17 Tears Old and Welsh O-tO Found 111 Strenulh iqtiula That of rven ilea Stronger than Hit Father at 12. Quite the most remarkable feature ittbe recent meeting and exhibition of Hie Surf uicn'u Mutual Benefit Associa tion, held iu Elizabeth City, N. J., was the appeuiuni-e of Lewis Lewurk. the "atroujf bfiy'froirr t)umTul county. Six feet two luetics tall, weighing tH9 pouudH and strong In proportiou, Iw li attracted universal attention and rlcl with tuo llfe-euvins drills as an attraction. Young Iyewark in being exhibited by kin brother, St. Clair, or "Huggins," be is loeally known throughout tbb taiitero coast towns of North Caro- Una, and his fame has spread from Norfolk on the north to Albemark Mum on the sorrlh. Good natnred, a( early all large people are, Ijewls looks upon the tour as a lot of fuu. The lutost thing In human giants was barn In Currituck connty, North Curo Haa. Just 17 years ago. U imrents ire rather Inflow the ordinary trtature to father weighing only J 30 ponuds Uk4 his mother lens than 120. When he ame Into the world Lewis weighed tghtoeti pounds. At the age of 5 this bad increased until he weighed 2T0. When he was 12 years okl he weigh ed 4!H pounds and it was necessary for his parents to take him to Nor folk to find scales large enough to weigh him. At that time his photo graph was la ken. Iu appearance Lewis looks like aoy other healthy boy, except that he is txtremely large. Vents of Htrengtb that would Mugger half a dozen ordi nary men are tMMfornieil by lw!s with mac. As a young boy IjCwIh received rery little schooling, no leather in fjurrituek country being able to con trol him. lie can read a little when the subject Is In print, and he can write bis name. When he was 12 years old his fath er made an effort to correct him. Tor a lew itioiiicuin ivcm Motto on pun ishment. Then he grasped his father by the trousers and lifted hlin high in the nlr. A quick throw and I,ewark, enlor, landed thirty feet away. It was the bint time that Lewis ever was cor rected by anything stronger than moral suasion. As young Lewark grew up he en tered heartily Into the work of the sound and bay men. Here he excelled. Seines that three men had diflleulty in handling Lewis took with one hand. In the duck-shooting season "Hnggins" awl Lewis wen; shooting partners and wliUe the strong boy was an excellent hot It was found more advisable to hare him sail a boat about picking up the dead ducks than to trust him In the mail battery box where the shooter lay. In the shooting of ducks, for mar ket the heavy boxes are taken alxiard battery boats and anchored In desir able positions. To launch one or to haul It Into the boat takes the united effort of three men. Iewls was able to do this with one hand. At the surfmen's exhibition at Eliza beth City Lewis astonished all by haul up a mirflioiit from the water a task that usually requires the efforls of the entire crew of seven Ktrong men. Again he hauled tin- breeches buoy shore without trouble o task that re quires the service of three men. Despite his criorinoii bulk I-wls Is as supple as an In. Man and as quick as a cat. He Is an excellent shot, a handy sailor of small boats and a good all-around hunter. Ho eats in proportion to his size. Half a dozen cunvusshack ducks are os nothing to hlin and a doz- n smaller ducks only make uTnlr meal. About two years ago It became ncc fRK.'iry for "Iiti'glns" lo build special furniture for his big brother's use. A bedstead and chair of heavy oak three by four Inches wus made, but In less than six months the boy had grown so largo that even these huge bits of fur niture crumbled under his weight. Then "stuff" four by six Inches was used and now even these things are quite unsafe. Kindly and true to his fnnilly, Iwls Is equally kind to his friends, says the New York Times. When the great storm of 1KMJ struck the eastern coun ties of Carolina hardly a boat could Hve In the terrific seas that swept over Currltlck bench. Alone Ix-wis put forth In his boat and rowed against the hur ricane that raged In order to save Iso lated families that were threatened with extinction by th waters. In that memorable storm, thanks to the boy's iiertions. not a life was lost In Cur Huck county.

As an Item In a viceroy's program the Arakan pa-, goda makes no gn at figure, but its di mensions are great in the hearts of the people and Hs fame spread very far. We knew before we arrived that, the brass Image In the Aial.nn jaodu, ' twelve feet in height, wan brought by a conquering I'lirmese aj'niy over the hills from Akyab In the year 1TS1 That was explained In the tour book, which is complied by the military sec ret.ll'y OUt Of t lie bleached bones of Oriental empires.

We also learned that It was made In Ouatania's life time, toward the end; that he looked upon It with favor and said: "P.rotlier. I leave you to bear my features when I am gone." Once only the figure spoke, and then the teacher laid si lence upon it nntil Areemadahya should come to reveal the new law.

GOOD j Short gtorie$j Iondon Tit-Kits says that a country parson lately went to preach In an old, remote parish, one Sunday, when the aged sexton. In tnking him to the place, Insinuatingly said: "I hope your riv'rence won't mind preachin' from the chancel; ye see, this 1 a quiet place, and I've got a duck slttin' on fourteen eggs In the pulpit." In refusing to grant a private inter view to a certain politician, who Is always trying to give him advice and Information ou important matters of legislation. President Koosevelt Is said to have remarked: "It is always most distressing to me to be obliged to talk to that man. 1 find myself constancy expecting hlrn to revert to his arboreal ancestors, grow a tail, and swing gracefully from the chandelier without Interrupting the conversation." A Briton of the consequential species once descended on the Hrltish embassy at Washington demanding to see his country's representative. "He's not In," replied Henry Labonrherc, who was then an attache. "Then I'll wait, said the Ilrlton jKimpously, seating himself. At the end of half an hour came the query: "When er do you er expect Ixrd Lyons back?' "Oh In six months or so," said the ever- obliging Labonchcre; "he left for En rope this morning. But yon said you'd wait, yon know, and I did not like to contradict yon." "Oentlemen," recently said a German professor who wns showing to his students the patients in the asylnm "this man suffers from delirium tre mens. He Is n musician. It Is well known that blowing a brass Instrn ment affects the lungs and the throat In such a way as to create a great thirst, which lias to be allayed by per slstent. Indulgence In strong drink. Hence, In course of time, the disease vou have before yon." Turning to the patient, the professor asked: "What Instrument, do you blow?" nnd the an swer was: "The violoncello." When Maude Adams was shifted from "The Little Minister" to "Itomeo and Juliet," a few years ago, some people thought the transfer rather abrupt, and a trltle daring. Miss Ad ams felt a little trepidation herself. ! Not so Charles Krohman, her manager. j To him Shakspeare was simply a play writer like Clyde Fitch, with the ad vantage that.he did not hnra- s the box ! oMice for royalties. When he went to I rehearsal one day, he found signs of ! nervousness pervading the company. I "What's the mutter?" he asked, Iu his explosive way. It was Shakspeare, the players replied. Pretty serious nlTair, you know great name, great play, tra ditions of the stage, memories of mighty shades In the minds of the crit ics, rhythm of blank verse to be ob served, nnd nil that. "Nonsense!" ex claimed Frohnian; "who's Klmkspcare? He was Just a man. Ho won't hurt you. I don't si any Shakspeare. Just Imagine you're looking at a soldier home from the Cuban war, making love to a giggling school girl on a bal cony. That's nil I see, and that's the way I want It played.

The appalling danger of rending the morning newspaper at the breakfast table Is set forth by the London Lan cet as follows: "It Is the custom of many households to have the morn lug's post. Including letters, newspa pers and rlrcultrs, placed upon the breakfast table. The plan Is conveni ent but from a sanitary point of view It Is appalling. It Is undeniably n dlrtj practice. The sorter at the postolllce or the postman may not be ns bad rlologlcally clean ns Is desirable.
