outside of New York. He declines to give
his real giant name, because he does not
care to cast shadow over the proud, sue
cessful years of his life. Once, in gen.
erals uniform, he lived in tents, receiving
homage and gate money. Then his kuees
gave out, as the knees Of giants usually do.
They came together, his height dropped
four inches and he was useless as giant.
| Giants with bad knees are drug on the
market The public does not care for them.
| Does the baby 1892 see anything sadder in
New York or in the world than this Four
teenth street giant? Probably not.
How Minds Operate Occasionally.
It's a sad sight. Turn to this letter, which
shows how strong is trust and confidence in
the human breast. 1t was received by one
| of the wonderfully able and intellectual
women who rule Barnard College:
DEAR MADAM:-Nlay study drawing and
the office work of architecture at Columbia
and learn at the Medical Department of Bar
nard the anatomy OF woman? Il have just
had, ridiculous as it may seem, an accident
for me to walk for year, SO would like to
learn something in this line). Must take q
college examination? And will you arrange
for my living? Very truly, -.
IF this confding person has hope, why
should there not be hope for the giant who,
ridiculous as it may seem, has also had an
accident in the anatomy line.
That letter shows how curiously the
fairly well-educated American mind some
times works when it tries to put what it
means on paper. AS a study of mental OBJ
servations, compare with it the following
article, written bv full-blooded Chinese
who has studied English only short time,
and who, by carefully reading newspapers
daily, reached the conclusion that fate had
intended him for journalist. He COM
posed the article which is appended with
out assistance and offered 1t for publication
in a great daily. 1t is crude, but it shows a
certain pleasing newspaper instinct and an
eye for facts:
The Revenge of Ju Lung.
Ju Lung suspected Charles did the expos
ing his opium joint He went to 81 Pell
street to find Chow yeck q relative of
Charles and demand that Yeck should pro-
duce Charles for punishment yeck told

became angry and act like the Tamany
Tiger and string upon Chow yeck and begain
to tare him up. dozen men were in the
store they all jump upon Ju Lung but their
assistant do yeck nc good Lung brook away
and light his way clear and tear down lot
OF carpenter work and upset the goods in
the store like manic until man from out
side shout for Policeman Lung jump for the
door and get out just as quick as his leg
could carry him of. Chow yeck we're hide
in the back room and was afraid to make his
appearance all last night and to-day. Ju
Lung is now looking for the Chinese reporter
he swears to Josh that he will do him up.
the damages is amounting to several days
ca penter work.
Not many men know who the fellow is who
first realizes that the old year is dead and
at the same time that the earth moves He
is the newspaper slave who sat in a corner
of every office editing foreign copy at about |

whoop and proceeded to hand aronnd his |

year had begun in the foreign world which |
he inhabits and he had fine feeling that he
was four hours ahead of his fellows.
