Several hundred persons who were gath

clay Street Ferry on Sunday evening took a
kindly interest In a small man who loudly an
nouncsd his intention Of being weighed. He
said he hadn't been weighed for years, and was
uncertain whether he had left the 1870 pounds
Of his carly manhood very far behind. The
dresry crowd thought he weighed about those
figures. still. and said so. The little man
stepped upon the platform Of the Weighing
machine and dropped q coin into, the slot, as
per instructions. The hand Of the machine
didn't move. Somebody said 1t was stuck. and
advised the man to "joggle"i 1t. The man shook
himself and then the hand began to move. 1t
crept slowly to the 10 mark, and then stuck
again.
The man shook himself again. and the hand
moved to 30.
"A little moro joggle."
The man stamped and the hand reached 1875.

Everybody joined In the command. for the
situation was growing funny. Men and women
who have become misanthropes by much travel

The little man was tired out. but he LOG
