With his hands he broke a heavy steel
horse shoe as if it was a stick of wood.
He lifts $50 lbs with one hand and 400
pounds with one finger. Using his hand
as a hammer he drives a six inch spike
through a 2 X 4 scantling. Placing his
head on one chair, and feet on another,
making a human bridge of his body, he
allows a ton of men to sit thereon.
Placing a large stone IN his scull, he al

Why Uncle Sans Big Family VIII Hence

There is no longer any danger Of a
civil war, says Woodrow Wilson in The
Atlantic. There was wal between the
south and the rest of the nation because
their differences were removable in no
other way. There was no prospect that
slavery, the root of those differences,
would ever disappear in the mere proc
ess Of growth. 1t was to be apprehended,
on the contrary, that the very processes
Of growth would inevitably lead to the
extension Of slavery and the perpetual.
ton of radical social and economic con
trasts and antagonisms between state
and state, between region and region.
A heroic remedy was the only remedy.
Slavery being removed, the south is
now Joined with tho west-joined with

chiefly agricultural, without diversified
industries, without a multifarious trade,
without those subtle extended nerves
which come with all round economic
development, and which make men
keenly sensible Of the interests that link
the world together, as it were, into q
single community. But these are line,
Of difference which will be efYaced by
mere growth, which time will calmly
ignore. They make no boundaries fol
armies to cross.
