Giants and Dwarfs.

The town of Ligonier, Noble county,
Ind, claims the unique distinction Of
having for citizens the largest and
smallest men, physically considered, in
the west. George Washington Walker
is without question the heaviest man in
Indiana, II not in the United States.
He weighs 500 pounds, is now 46 years
cid and is adding steadily to his weight
at the rate of twenty-five pounds each
year of his life. His waist measure
ment is seventy-siX inches chest under
arms sixty-eight inches and arm twCn-
ty-fivc inches. He Is in excellent health
but finds locomotion rather difficult, al
though he travels about in specially
constructed conveyance. He Is the
father of two bright children and lives
a retired life, attempting to avoid much
notoriety. In the heated season he
lives altogether in the cellar OF his
residence. Walkers physical antitype
is Jesse Walker, his neighbor. The
latter is 10 years Of age and possesses
body of fair size. His legs, however,
are twelve inches in length. He is
three feet three inches tall and weighs
but fifty pounds. Jesse is a promising
youth, mentally we'll equipped and as
ayerse to notorlety as George Washing
ton Walker. The two men have re-
ceivei flattering offers from museum
proprieters, but at present have no de-
sire for that kind Of fame.-St. Louis

1ngersoll Worries Them Not.

Ingersoll does not trouble us minis
ters much. His talk may be witty, but
his iibes and arguments are a rehash
of those of Paine and Voltaire, argu-
ments which have been answered so
often that we are tired of answering;
arguments which are so ancient and
musty that we are surprised that Inger-
soil is willing to be so far behind the
time as to dress them up and trot them
out again. They are about as effective
for his purpose as a 18th century blum
derbuss would be against a modern
ironclad.-Rev. F. L. Anderson.
