dotes attributed to Lincoln, and while
the latter was in the habit of
illustrating his meaning by story,
he had never heard him tell any which
could not be repeated in the church or else
where. He was of the opinion that many
anecdotes attributed to Lincoln were never

A BIG MAN OR A BIG LIE.
Alleged Skeleton of Prehistoric
Man Twelve Feet High.

ST. JOSEPH, MO.-August 14.-HOn.
J. H. Hainly, a we'll known and relia-
BILE citizen of Barnard, Missouri, writes
to the Gazette the particulars of the dis
covery of giant skeleton four miles
southwest of that place. A farmer
named John w. Harmon found the
bones protruding from the bank of a
revine that has been cut by the action
of the rains during the past years. Mr..
Harmon worked several days in un-
earthing the skeleton, which proved to
be that of human being whose height
was twelve feet. The head through the
temples was twelve inches. From the
lower part of the skull at the back to
the top was fifteen inches and the cir
cumference forty inches. The ribs were
nearly four feet long and three and a
fourth inches wide. The thigh bones
were thirty inches long, and the entire
foot eighteen inches in length. The
skeleton lay on its face twenty feet be-
low the surface of the ground, and the
toes were imbedded in the earth, indi-
eating that the body either fell or was
placed there when the ground was soft.
The left arm was passed around the
back, the hand resting on the spinal
column, while the right arm was
stretched out to front and right. Some
of the bones crumbled on exposure to
the air, but many good specimens were
preserved and are now exhibition at
Barnard. Medical men are much in
terested. The skeleton is generally pro-
nounced q valuable relic of the prehis-
tOric race
