Man who Leased States Told Thackofay

who lets out skates on the Serpentine
whether he had ever lost pair through
the omission to exact . deposit, and he
replied that he had never done 80 ex-
cept on one occasion, when the circum-
stances made it almost pardonable. A
well-dressed young fellow was having
his second skate fastened on when no
suddenly broke away from the mans
hands and dashed on to the ice. Tho
next instant thick-set, powerful man
was clamoring for another pair. I
shall nab him now, he cried, Tor lam

animating sight It WINS to watch the
chase. He was, "a he had boasted, .
first-rate skater, and it became prcsent

termined to run desperate risk fos
liberty. The Ice, - usual, under the

TWO elo EATERS

y uRoonae anA 11eeef Who Performed
prealgioua 0aatrononie Fsa12
One Of the odd characters described
by Gen. ThiebAult in his memoirs is .
young man named Schmitz. sBig
Schnitz" he was commonly called on
account Of his extraordinary physique
ak feet two inches in height and enor-
mously stout. He could not ride in any
ordinary carriage, and in the houses
where he was accustomed to visit
special chairs were provided for him.
In the house Of Thiebault's father such
= chair was kept In the dining-room
and another in the parlor. Big Schmitz
and companion were once driving to
Berlin when their carriage broke down,
and the second man went to the nearest
village in quest of some one to repair
It. Unhappily, it was Sunday. and no
one was willing to work.
In this dilemma the young man re-
sorted to q trick. He said to the work
men:
81 am carrying to the king giant.
My instructions are to let no one see
him on the way; but we must get to the
C1tys bu0 ~ yO0 WAAA NOAAAO ssAA~A = ~k'>S~A
the carriage, viii show him to you.
The workmen FASTENED to see the
wonder, and SO far as appears were not
disappointed when the giant" was pro-
duced.
Gen. Thiebault declares that at the
table Schmitz was obliged to sit at an
angle, other wise he could not get near
enough to it to reach his plate. It was
well understood, also, that in company
he must be put with the greatest eat
ers and drinkers, so that he might eat
something like as much as he needed
without being put to shame. When he
had his own way he would sit at the
table three or four hours.
He had sister who was also very
tail and stout and prodigy with the
