FOR LITTLE FOLKS.
ANTON MocHTx.


He Il the biggest Boy In the Werld ana
Has Twelve Ringers md Twelve Tee.
The largest boy in the world is Anton
Mochty, and he is a peasant boy living
with his parents. well to do people. at
Haindorf, in lower Austria. He is 10
years old.
This growing colossus weighs at the
present time $50 pounds, his breast
measures As inches from armpit to arm
pit. and his head is 20 inches in diam
eter. He is exactly feet high.
As small child he was SO phlegmatic
that he refused to learn to walk for four
years after his birth. With the begin
ming Of his fifth year he began to creep
aud after u little while learned to walk.
When q baby, Anton was thought
rather small. On his sixth birthday,
when there was a party at his fathers
house. the boy, first attracted attention
on account of his large features.
During the last two years he has
gained over 20 pounds in weight and
2 feet in height.
Nature gave Anton six toes and six
fingers on each hand and foot. All Of
these members are perfectly developed
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1896-02-20

and we'll shaped except that the small
fingers stand out from the rest. The
joints, however. work like those of the
other fingers.
Anton's footgear is expensive. His
wooden shoes as we'll as those of leather
must be made to order.
He wears his fathers trousers, coats
and vests. shirts, underwear and hats
and would be taken for young man of
20 if it were not for the freshness of his
complexion and his youthful manners.
Where nature is SO generous in one
direction che must be expected to even
things up. So it happens that Anton is
by no means a bright boy, but he enjoys
average intelligence and sunny tenn
per. In his village they call him "the
rubber ball" on account of the rotundity
Of his features.
He comes from normally built par
ents, and his numerous brothers and sis
tiers are distinguished neither for large
ness nor for extraordinary toes or fin
gers. Anton has never been big eater.

Moving In the Bowery.

There was moving in the Bowery q
few days ago, and it was watched with
interest by score or SO of passersby.
A stout Italian bootblack was transfer
ring his stand to some other part of the
town. Just before the moving began the
proprietor and his weazened little wife
stood beside the stand. The little wife
then put dirty little pillow on her
head and stopped trifle. The husband
thereupon picked up the stand with diff
Guilty and balanced it on the little wom-
ans head. Then he took the two chairs
and placed them ON the stand in such
fashion as to secure them from falling.
The little wife, having Strengthened
up under her burden and made sure Of
its equilibrium. started down the Bow
cry, and the stout husband followed at
ease, putting a cigarette, while the spec
tators looked on amazed to discover the
usefulness of wife as beast of bur-
den.-New York Sun.

"Once. when was publishing a pa-
per in Seattle, convinced q man in q
most emphatic way that it paid to ad-
vertise." said an old journalist. "He
was fairly prosperous merchant, and !
had tried for a long time to get him to
insert an advertisement in nv paper.
"'Oh, it's no use, he would say. Il

per, and no one else does. 1 believe in
advertising, but in way that will force
itself ON the public. Then it pays. But

ever think it will do any good
"The next day I ran the following
line in the lightest faced agate in the
office and stuck it in the most obscure
corner Of the paper between couple Of
patent medicine ads.
"'What is Cohen going to do about it2'
1.-The next day 30 many people annoy
ed him by asking what that line meant
that he begged me to explain the matter
in my next issue. I promised to do it if
he would let me write the explanation
and stand to'it. He agreed, and wrote:
He is going to advertise, of course.

young girl-queen drove by in the stateli-

Pronunciation Matches,

A pronunciation match is q fine way
Of entertaining party Of clever young
people in a dull evening hour. Any
number can play. One is elected as lead
er. At first he will call out letter, as
A, and each person must think quickly
while he counts five and be ready to tell
the name Of q city in the state agreed
upon before the contest begins.
For instance, the leader, while he
counts five, points to one of the COM
pany, who must give the name of city
beginning with the letter A, b or G, as
the leader may announce. When one
answer has been given, he quickly
counts again and points to another per-
son until some one fails to respond,
when he is declared leader and also pays
forfeit.
1t is very amusing and teaches people
to think quickly and keep their wits
about them. 1t is also sometimes played
by choosing sides, as in spelling match,
and in that case each one who misses
takes his seat, and the side which re-
mains ON the floor longest is declared
the winner.

MR.. cARRoLL's GREAT IDEA.
II Puts . Man at His Besx when He Il
Held Up by . Robber.


II Puts Man nj His Bess when He Il
Held Up by . Robber.
Taylor Carroll is engaged in devisinR
formidable system of defence for lone
pedestrians when they wander in dam
gerous Esaces where police protection is
Ineffective and the risk Of being ssheld
mp" is evc- present. His plan is to con-
vert the erect human body into a minia-
ture revolving turret, armed at four
points and capable of dealing death in
front. rear or flank simultaneously or
Of sending four successive discharges
in the same direction.
Mr.. CAROLS design is still in its ru-
dimentary stage, with nulnberless minor
details to he elaborated. but his central
idea is we'll developed. He says he has
not yet prepared diagrams or expert
mental apparatus, but has merely out
lined it mentally.
II would have a small storage bat
terry worn in a belt," he said, with
small copper wires running from it up
through the sleeves and contested with
each hand on the great or middle finger
with copper ring the thumb can reach
in the palm Of the hand. When the
thumb touched the ring, an electrical
current would discharge four batteries
loaded with ball behind and in front
This discharge could take place when
the hands We're being held under the
threat of an armed robber.
1.-The ring should be placed beyond
the reach of the thumb except in cases
OF emergency, SO the thumb will never
discharge the battery accidentally
Mr.. Carroll is not practical electri-
clan or mechanic, being an actor by
profession. He has not figured up the
weight of tho storage battery to be car
ried on the belt, nor is he adverse to
considering the ACCESSIBILITY of substi-
tuting dry primary cell.
In his zeal for the application Of sci
entific methods to the protection of the
citizen the inventor has apparently left
out of sight everything but the tactical
advantage of the lonely pedestrian at
tackled in front by the bold marauder or
clasped from behind by the lurking gar
roter. Thus he has not yet figured out
how a slim young man is to avoid as
Stunning Faistaffian dimensions when he
braces storage batteries and arsenals
around his waist.
Nor does he forecast the possibly trag-
lcal consequences that might some day
result from the clasp Of loving hand
upon the thumb and palm that carried
the potential copper appurtenances he
describes, making inadvertent electrical
contact and producing catastrophe
when only endearment was intended.
