The Biggest M an.

Citizens of this vicinity yesterday
had an opportunity to behold the
greatest living man in avordupois,
says the Indianapolis Journal. Holm
Hanson Craig, with his wife and three
year old child, was visiting James
Anderson, relative. Craigs home
is in Danville, Hendricks county, but
he has been in the show business since
babyhood. In answer to questions, he
said
81 now weigh 9O7 pounds and am
81 years old. At birth l weighed IL
pounds; at eleven months old l weigh
ed " pounds; at two years 205
pounds. At that time | took the
$1,000 premium at Barnum' baby show
in New York city in 1858. At five
years weighed 3O2 pounds; at twenty
COL pounds; at twenty-five 725
pounds; at twenty-five 758 pounds; at
twenty-eight IA pounds; at thirty
8O6 pounds, and my present weight

Mrs. Craig is a good-looking blonde,
weighing 130 pounds, and formerly
accompanied her husband in the roll

When asked how long they had been
married, she laughingly remarked that
they were first married in 1882, but
that they were just now enjoying
their second honeymoon, as they were
divorced in January and married but
couple of weeks ago.
Mr.. Craig explained the trouble,
stating that his wife expressed de-
sire to learn fashionable dress making
and that he objected. She applied for
divorce; it was granted and she
went to Terra Haute and learned the
trade. She then returned home and
they were remarked. Mr.. Craig has
been all over Europe and in every
important city in the world.

A Stubborn Couple.

In the vicinity of Sweet Home, in
Linn county, Oregon, there lives a
female hermit whose history is as
peculiar to the world as it is sad to
herself. She is over 60 years of age.
This old lady comes of good family
and has raised a respectable family of
children herself, and the date of her
eccentric life began with an event
that took place when her children
were all grown. Like some other
thoughtless parents, they neglected to
record the date of births in their fam
lily, and feeling the mistake, she and
husband decided that, for the beneh
of their grown children they would
try to ascertain as nearly as posi-
BILE their ages. For this purpose they
set day and summoned some of the
neighbors whom they had known for
years to meet at their home for the
purpose of establishing the birth dates
of their children. The age of the
eldest son was taken into discussion,
and on his age the man and woman
disagreed. The difference of opinion
ripened into enmity and was the cause
of separation. The husband moved
into secluded spot and passed the
remainder of his days miserable her
init. He never went out nor had any
company. Only a few years ago he
was found in his cabin after he had
been dead several days. The wife
had built house in remote corner
of herson's yard, and is living
similar life. Unimpressionabie and
devoid of the milk of human kindness
this strange woman is eking out an
existence made miserable by simple
event and known by few outside her
family .-Slayton Times.

CONSOLATION.
In the bitter waves of woe;
Beaten and tossed about

In the bitter waves of woe;
Beaten and tossed about
By the sullen winds that blow
From the desolate shores of doubt,
Where the anchors that faith has cast
Are dragging in the gale,
l am quietly holding fast
70 the things that cannot fail,
I know that right is right,
That it is not good to lie;
That love is better than spite
And a neighbor than spy;
know that passion needs
The leash of sober mind;
know that generous deeds
Some sure reward shall find;
That the rulers must obey,
That the givers shall increase;
That duty lights the way
For the beautiful feet of peace;
In the darknest night of the year,
When the stars have all gone out,
That courage is better than fear,
That faith is better than doubt.
And fierce though the fiends may fight,
And long though the angels hide,
/ know that truth and right
Have the universe on their side:
And that somewhere beyond the stars
Is love that is better than fate.
When the night unlocks her bars
l shall see him-and l will wait.
