One of the most powerful men the world
has ever seen is Louis Cyr, who was born
near Montreal. of Alsatian parents, twenty
seven years ago. Cyr lacks half an inch OF
being six feet tall, but he weighs over 800
pounds. he has long, curly yellow hair, and
when he performs his marvellous feats he
must resemble Samson of old before Delilah
treacherously bereft him of his strength
giving name. Cyr's mother was very
strong, and thought nothing of carrying a
barrel of four up several flights of stairs.
Cyr never considered himself very strong
until one day when he lifted a wagon load
OF brick out of a rut. After that he con-
cluded that his forte was defying the laws
of gravity.
Cyr has lifted 1000 pounds of pig iron
with his hands and back and without us
ing harness. S~houldering a 300 pound bar
rel of cement with one hand, lifting SIG
pounds with one finger, balancing his wife
upon his chin and raising with his pack a
platform holding a 232 pound dumbbell
and twenty men aggregate weight 3,337
pounds) are among his everyday feats.
Eugene Sandow, the European cham
pion, is a German athlete, as shapely as
Apollo and as strong as Hercules. He
only weighs 202 pounds, but his physique
is magnificent. He Is credited with nav
ing put up a 812 pound dumbbell with one

the eternal. There are men to-day

token that they lived on this earth, lies
in the poetry which they call their

them. His name will not be found in
the ponderous compilations of Sted-

them quite equal to those of Poe, and
rhythmic rise and flow of his musical
stanzas, have so beat on appreciative
hearts as to leave perpetual impress

His organs of sublimiGy and ideality
are too well developed to escape here
after celebrity. To him the ideal is the

Some of his poems have a raptureful
cadence when alluding to the unseen,

What the World is Saying About the
Forthcoming Book of Poems, and
the Genius of Its Author.


The poems of Will Hubbard Herman
are literature. The publication of COT
lection of them, which is promised by

THESE beautiful productions, as perfect
in rhythm as true born of a marVeIo s
poetic conception, have seen light onl f,
through the newspapers. They have
been scattered over a period OF many
years and through the haphaZard of al
IN st fortuitous publication IN widely
separated prints, and while their charm
has been enjoyed by the more aIpreeia-
tive readers the full disclosure of his
genius has been impossible. There wall
be differences of opinion as to X rnan's
philosophy, il he has any consistent
philosophy, or if he is to be judged by
the ordIna rules, but there can be
among cultured readers only one OF in
ion of the inspiration and the flashing
phrase of his poems. There will be IA
few who Will not regret that Kernan's
muse has turned away from so wide an
area OF the Jenderest and most fruitful
side of human nature, but there will be
none who Will not relish the delights of
his literary style, his meIhtiuous
rhythm, the intensity OF his passion
and his originality. The publication of
these poems in book form will I'M
dOubtedly create a deep impression
upon the reading pubiic.-E. IL. Heizer,
