lures proved disastrous, until his portion
of about $4,000 had been lost, much to the
regret of his many friends. especially those
of the volunteer fire department, where
he was most active.
With the loss of his fortune came a rapid
accumulation of weight. With each sue
ceeding year. no matter what his losses
were, his weight grew. When he first re-
ceived his money he weighed about 1870
pounds. He was a smooth-faced, hand

he had lost his first 5000 he gained about
fifty pounds. For the last six years he
has gained about the same amount every
year, or 800 pounds for the entire time
showing that while the loss of his money
sorely greved him, he continued to gain
in avoirdupois at the rate of fifty pounds
for each 5000 lost. He now weighs nearly
800 pounds. but continues in most excel
