A GIANTESS DEAD.
ANf4A SWAN BATES, WHO WAS
SEVEN FEET SEVEN IN HEIGHT.

Sac Was a Native of Nova Scotia and Was
Married to Kentuckian Whose Alti-
tude Was eorrespondinsly Great-Some-
thing Of Other Big People.
The recent death of Mrs. Anna Swan Bates,
'tYhe Nova Scotia Giantess," as the show
bills had it, has set the curious to speculating
onCe more on the cause of such freaks; but
science has no satisfactory explanation. OF
course there are tall races of men, and in
some families there is hereditary tendency
towards height of six feet or thereabouts;
but ''giants' proper are pure freaks y and in
very many instances their parents are below
the average height Anna Swans father
was but feet and her mother S feet S;
while the mother of her husband, Capt.
Martin Van Buren Bates, was an unusually
small woman, and his father only a good
average Blue Grass Kentuckian Mrs. Swan
Bates was of Scotch blood, born in Nova
Scotia i'll 1648, and was big from the start;
when full grown she was feet Z, and as
kind as she was big. She and her husband
were highly respected at Seville, O., where
they lived.
Every boys memory is stored with tales of
"bloody giants" such as "Bugaboo Bilf' and
the fellow whom Jack the -giant-killer slew;
and all the mythology of early peoples is full
of fanciful stories of similar nature. In
reality giants are the most peaceablc of man.
kind, and very big women aro almost al
ways timid and tender hearted. It raises
smile to think of signing and sentimental
maiden weighing 500 pounds; and the para
grapher has exhausted himself in witty cal
culations as to the length of time it takes
tender emotion to travel from the heart to
the frontiers of her person. But it is any
thing but funny to the subject. She loves
often with an ardor corresponding to her
size; and pursuant to the usual perversit5 of
nature, she is apt to love a small or average
sized man. Many instances are on record of
the marriages of such oddly assorted couples;
and we'll it is that these gigantic ladies are
tender hearted, for a matrimonial row with
such one is not to he thought of without
shudder.

board avoid improper associations, give salts
faction to his employer, seek other employ
