THE TALLEsT COUPLE IN THE WORLD.
Captain Martin Van Buren Bates was
born in Whitesburg, Letcher county, KY,
November 8, 1916. He is seven feet elev-
en- and one-half inches in height, and
weighs 41S pounds. His father is six feet
tall, and his mother was a lady of ordinary
stature. In 1910 Miss Anna III. Swan was
born III Colchester county, Nova Scotia.
She was as tall as her mother when six
years of age, but she continued to shoot
upward until to-day she is exactly the
same height as her husband, seven feet
eleven and one-half inches, her weight be-
ing Alb pounds. These two were married
in London some years ago, and on return
ing from there bridal tour found an order
from the Queen awaiting them, requiring
them to present themselves at Bucking-
ham Palace. They had previously ap-
peared before the Prince of Wales, and
the members of the Masonic Lodge, OF
which he is a member, and it is probable
that he had aroused his mothers curiosity
by his description of them. The captain
receiveda a massive gold striking watch the
case weighing 9 ounces, and the entire
watch over a pound, while with the i'm
mense neck chain, the whole weighed
over three pounds. The bride was pre-
sented with splendid diamond cluster
ring, containing seven white jewels.
Beth the lady and gentleman are perfect
ly proportioned, every member cores
ponding and aiding to produce symmet-
rical but colossal figure. Mrs. Bates re-
quires for an evening dress eighty yards
of material.

A Tramp Marries n 100000
From the Cincinnati Enq.irer.

From the Cincinnati Enqsirer.
A short time ago there appeared in
Dechard, Franklin county, Tenn, a
tramp, who represented himself as being
an Immigrant from Newport, bearing
the name of Thomas M. Sheperd, and a
painter by trade. He was employed on
1 several jobs of painting in the neighbor-
hood. A Mrs. Williams, a wealthy wild
ow, employ ed Sheperd to paint a house
for her, and wilhelm her employ he won
| the fair lady's heart, and in addition
thereto her hand. Much to the surprise
Of everybody, the two were married.
| As soon as the ceremony was perform
ed the gossip-mongers of Dechard began
! to talk, and many and various were the
rumors that foated through the little
town about the rich widow marrying a
tramp. In Dechard resides physi ian
named Thomas Sheperd. A letter was
sent few days ago to the tramp Shep-
erd from Mr.. jaime Pagan, of Newport.
! The letter, after mentioning some other
! matters, went on to tell that Sheperd's
wife and family, who lived in Dayton
KY, were well, and that Mrs. Shepperd
had considerable difficulty in supporting
the children.
! By mistake the letter, when it arrived
in Dechard, was put into DIR. Sheperd's
box. The doctor, thinking 1t was for
him, opened it, but was unable to under
stand 1t until the marriage of Mrs. Will
liams and the Newport Sheperd, when
the mystery was solved. The doctor put
it in tho hands of Mrs. Williams friends,
and to them it appeared that Mr.. Shep-
! perd was guilty of bigamy. They had
him arrested and taken to Winchester,
Tenn.
In Newport they found that Mary r.
Shepperd, the wife of Thomas M. Shep-
perd, had obtained decree of divorce
from him on the Sd of October, 1874, on
the ground of drunkenness and inhuman
treatment. A telegram was Immediately
sent to Winchester, whereupon Shep-
perd was dis charged. When he was ar
rested he stated that he had been marri-
ed and had children living. 1t is evil
dent that he has captured the heart of
Mrs. Williams, for she stuck to him dur
ing ali of his trouble. Mrs. Williams is
worth in the nelghborhood of $780,
600.

Poor Fun.
We have never been able to appreciate che
fun Of tearing up bridges, lifting gates from
their hinges, pulling off palings and throw
ing them away, and such other damage as
is generally committed on both public and
personal property during the Christmas
holidays. These depredations have already
commenced, and we think it is due our citi-
sens that extra police be put on duty at
night during the next two weeks, that they
may be protected from such unnecessary
trouble and expense. Parties who engage
in such mischief, whether white or black,
deserve to be punished; and We sincerely
hope those who commenced this work on
last Saturday night will be caught up with
and made to pay the penalty Of their crime,
for 1t is no less than crime. The damage
done to property last year by just such
characters was considerable, and we think
It is high time it was stoppod.
