TALL MEN ARE HANDICAPPED.
Many People Are Prejudicsd Against
Them Because of Their Stature

Many People Are Prejudicsd Against
Them Because of Their Stature.
Two French physicians who have been
making Investigations have come for
ward with a general denunciation of
tall men as no good. They instance the
giants of the world, who have been
proverbially dull and men of gloomy
disposition, and then they go on to say
that the chances are against phenom-
enally tall men or even very tall men
being bright.
There should, however, be a careful
distinction drawn between tall men and
giants. Giantism has been demonstrat-
ed to be 4 disease. The victims suffer
from a malady which produces an en-
largement of the joints, and this, more
than any other growth of the bones,
produces their extraordinary height.
But men within certain limits grow tall
without suffering decreased or absorbed
mentality. 1t will not do to denounce
the tall man when the world has seen
so many examples of his being able to
hold his own.
not come to the front oftener is that
they are modest as they are extended.
Little men usually hustle about to such
an extent that people believe they make
up in width of views what they lack in
stature. In their absorbing ambition
not to be overlooked they simply over
do the thing and make those whose COM
mand of the horizon is larger believe
that they must get out of the way or the
little fellows will run over them. The
tall man is almost always looking down
on some one, but if anyone believes that
it is a comfortable situation he should
get himself into it for once and discover
how unpleasant it is to carry on con-
vcrsation with the assistance of tele-
phone neck. 1t is this eXcruCiating eN-
pcrience that makes the tall man as y
rule reticent. His reticencs,is mistaken
for pride, pride is believed to be the
evidence of doubt of his own powers,
doubt proves deficiency, deficiency in
the tall man can arise from only one
acknowledgement of the body at the
expense of the brain and nervous sys-
TEN. Hence, the short man easily ar
rivcs at the conclusion that the tall man
is misft, and that he is the only per-
feet being going. Perfection being &C.
corded him, he might easily conquer the
world, but he always spoils his chances
by marrying a tall woman, who holds
him back. This is the only reason why
the men under five feet six inches have
not already exterminated those over
five feet nine inches.-Savannah News.

STRUCK BY A TRAIN.
A DEAD MAN FOUND ON TIE IN.
TBRNATIONAL TRACK.
he Was a School Teacher of Fro County
And His Name Was Henry Horribly
He Was SeyeRty-fve Years Old.

A dead man waS found this morn
ing on the track OF the International
railroad near the crossing, about five
and Il half miles south of here. The
man had evidently been struck by a
train, for Il large hole was in the back
of his head and one of his legs was
broken.
The matter was reported to Superin-
tendent Thomas Hume. of the Inter
national. who Immediately notified
Coroner Shook by telephone. The lat
ter arrived at the depot about $50
O'Clock this morning and boarded a
train which took him To the scene.
The man was lying Oh the side of
the track, near Il cattle guard. He had
not been dead over three hours, and
it is believed that Il south bound
freight train had run into him about
six o'clock in the morning. He was
evidently walking along the track
when the train struck him.
On his person We're found letters and
papers, from which it was learned that
his name was Hy Hornby, and that
he lived either in Pearsall or Derby,
Frio county. He was about 10 years
of age. He was evidently II school
teacher, as will be seen by the follow
ing, which is copy of Il certificate
found on him:
Derby, FriO county, Texas, Feb.
16, 1S94.-This is to certify that Hy.
Horribly did occupy position as tea
cher of the Derby free school during
the session of 1893 and "a, with first
class certificate. He performed his
duties faithfully and during his resi-
dence in this place maintained good
department. Signed: s. s. Field, =.
c. Brake. John Bennett, trustees
Other similar papers were also
found on him. 4 photograph of two
ladies and Il young man was among
his effects, and it is believed these are
his children.
A letter dated from Knowlton Place,
England, January 26, 1897, addressed
to Harry Horribly, Pearsall, Texas, and
signed Your mother" is believed to
be from the deceased'S wife to her son.
A first-grade teachers certificate dat
ed January Is, 1893, and signed by
John A. Pranglin, county judge of
Frio county, and a letter of June IL,
1896, from Claiborne Nuckols, were al
so found on him. No money was
found on him, but 4 broken bottle was
in his clothes. His son, Harry, who
is in Pearsall, has been notified.
Coroner Shook ordered the remains
moved to Sheern and Burnett'S
morgue. where they are held for in

THE IMPERIAL QUARREL.
Money the Cause of Estrangement In
Germany's Court.

opF"hhs . touFr
As for her majesty's eldest daughter,
Impress Frederick of Germany, she is
already at the present moment cele-
brated as one of the wealthieSt women
in Europe, receiving an allowance from
the Prussian treasury as widow of a
king of Prussia, an annuity from the
English treasury of $40,0 900 u year, be-
sides which she has inherited the ma jor
part of the great fortune of the Franco
Italian duchess of Galliera, and an
enormous sum, the exact value of which
cannot be defined, from her husband,
Emperor Frederick. At the time when
the latter succeeded to the throne there
were in the hands of Baron Kohn, the
private banker of the old Emperor Will
liam, no less than 54,000,0OO marks
oslo, 800, O00), in cash, which were be-
queathed to Emperor Frederick on the
understanding that it was to constitute
a species of family treasure, controlled
by the head of the house of Hohenzoll-
ern for the time being, and to be used
for the benefit of the family. When
IIuDClOI Il fouClESh olCO ~ VINO SASSC Va
his brief reign of 90 days, scarcely any
of this money was left. The major por-
ton of it is understood to have been
invested abroad by Emperor Frederick's
orders in the name of his widow, her
uncle, the late duke of Saxe-Coburg-
Gotha, and her cousin, King Leopold of
Belgium, being nominated as trustees.
1t may lie remembered that the late
Prince Strolberg, who died recently, re-
signed at the time his office of minister
of the imperial household in a fit of
anger, declaring that he would be no
party to diverting from the German
crown u sum of money accumulated by
old Emperor William for the specific
benefit of the family. But as there was
nothing legally to prevent Emperor
Frederick from disposing of the money
as he wished, nothing could be done to
prevent it, and inasmuch as it was in
vested abroad, there could be no ques-
ton of its recovery after his death. 1t
Is this monetary question which goes
far to account for the intense animosity
and utter absence of filial consideration
which young Emperor William mani
tested for some time after his succession
to the throne of his mother. the wild
owed Empress Frederick.-N. Y. Trib-
une.
