Gently published the following facts
about him.
"As Faribault's strong boy has at
tracted considerable attention Of late
and his alleged performances have
given rise to expressed doubts as to
their genuineness, the Democrat has
looked up the young man for the bene-
fit of its readers. Josiah Dougherty,
the youth in question, is a machinist
employed at the foundry of F. w. Win
ter & Co.; he is not quite II years OF
age, is feet Az inches in height and
weighs 146 pounds; is well propoI-
toned, has curly brown hair and a
pleasant and intelligent face. He was
born in Indiana and says he thinks he
is a native American barring the fact
that his fathers great grandfather was
born in Ireland. His strength Is a nat
ural growth and he never realized that
he was stronger than most boys Of his
age until about two years ago when a
piece of machinery he was helping to
adjust slipped onto his shoulders and
he found that he could hold and carry
it, although it weighed 1900 pounds.
Since that time he has practiced all
kinds of lifting and thinks his muscles
harden every day. Wednesday, in pres
ence of dozen witnesses, he stepped on
a pair of platform scales, and by means
of a chain passed over his shoulders
and under the scales he raised dead
weight of 2,100 pounds. BY forming
bridge of his body and adjusting a
padded platform so as to rest on his
chest and leg muscles, he is able to cas-
lily hold up a plank supporting live
weight to the amount of 1900 pounds.
He is very well proportioned and his
muscles are exceedingly hard, those Of
his legs being like steel springs"
Young Dougherty writes that he puts
up a 125-pound dumbbell with one arm
holds out 10 pounds OF iron at arms
length; raises 2,4O0 pounds on his back
holds 2,700 pounds on a bridge placed
across his chest, hands and feet on the
floor. He says his strength lies more
in his body than in his arms. He Is
willing to meet any living man at lis
pounds weight, to which figure he car

In a compartment on the 9Th avenue
IL" sat an old gentleman and young
man facing two women, says the New
York Herald. A medium-sized paper
bag was between the two women, who
were strangers to each other. When
the train stopped at a station one Of the
women alighted. Her seat companion
was gazing dreamily out of the window
Presently the old gentleman vigorously
nudged the young man, pointed to the
paper bag, which he summarily
snatched up, and leaping across the
aisle thrust II out the window as the
train started, into the hands OF a man
who stood near, telling him to give 1t

She was hailed. The bag was forced
into her hands. She looked bit dazed.
