It seems that abnormally stout people
have their uses in this world as well as
other things. THE other day, as an ex-
ceedingly ~corpnlent old gentleman was
leisurely proceeding along Regent street,
q detected pickpocket, who was fleeing
at the top of his speed from two myr-
midons of the law, violently collided
with him, and the pair rolled over in
the gutter together, the stout gentleman
ON top.
The pickpocketm made strenuous but I'M
availing efforts to extricate himself
from under the mountain of flesh, but
the corpuiant gentleman remained a
avture until the pursuers came up and
captured the rascal.
Then the fat man picked himself up,
nothing the worse for his mishap and
moved off with the remark that so long
as he had breath III his body, his weight
would always be thrown on the side
Of law and justice. "-Pearson's Week
