;ked the drummer Of crowd OF
travelling men who had adjourned 10
the bar for d "smile" Upon being
answered in the affirmative, he con,
tinued:
"Well you also know what vain
egotistical old rooster he is. Why the
old fool imagines that he is the beau OF
the town and that all the girls are just
dying of love for him, when the fact
is | don't know of girl but what
hates the sight of him.
"Well Hank, you know, is rather
stout and he is as proud
of his bay window as pea
cock is of it's tail feathers. He weighs
probably two hundred pounds, but
when asked his weight will invariably
answer in a very pompous manner:
'Oh, 1 am losing flesh now, and proba-
bly, don't weigh more than two hun
dred and fifty or two hundred and
sixty Just what his object is in thus
adding to his weight no one knows,
but it certainly arises from some con-
ceited idea of his.
Ellis weakness in this respect has
subjected him to numerous practical
jokes. 1 remember once a lot of us
were in Tom Whalen's saloon and the
conversation turned on Hank and his
follies and foibles. Well we put up a
job Oh him that was peach and it
worked like an automobile too
smoothly and without jar you know.
One of the boys went into Hanks
place couple of doors below Whalen's
and invited him over to Toms to have
d drink. Invitations like this were
never sighted by him and it was only
a few moments until he appeared.
After a round or two some one care
lessly asked Hank how much he
weighed Putting himself out he re-
piled that he guessed he didn't weigh
more than two hundred and fifty-five
now as he had been dieting for some
time and had fallen Off
"'Oh, what are you giving us!' ex-
claimed Fred White, you know Fred
why you don't weigh more than 2lO
if you weigh that
"'What will you bet 2 asked Hank,
Winking at Tom Wilkinson who had
pat him up to this.
"'Why, I'll bet the drinks for the
house, answered Fred.

it all up before they came III and OF
course he had sure thing. Fred, to
make the play good and strong, de-
INJURED little, but finally consented
and it was agreed to weigh him in a
hardware store across the street.
"'AlI right said Fred, you fellows
90 on over. I'll be over in minute; l
want to speak to Whalen bit first
"The gang, with Hank in the midst
of them adjourned to the hardware
store and Hank got on the scales.
One of the boys weighed him and he
tipped her at 2O8, exactly.
"Every body laughed except Hank
and Tom.
"Y on fellows can laugh said Tom,
but if Fred don't get here too soon,
we'll show you where the laugh comes
in
"He knelt down, rolled up the bottom
of Hanks pants legs and tied string
tightly around the bottom of his
drawers Then rolling down his pants
he arose and began to fill the inside of
Hanks drawers with shot which was
handed him by the clerk. Into one leg
went twenty-five pounds of shot; then
a like amount in the other; then
another twenty-five pound bag was
divided between the two, making
thirty-seven and one-half pounds in
each one.
"He had scarcely finished when some
one exclaimed, Here comes Fred, and
the next moment he came in.
"Hav exclaimed Hank, you'd better
be ordering that wine my boy, for I've
got you
"Well,' said Fred, maybe you have;
but We'll see,' and he stopped down,
slid on some weights and found that
Hank weighed 2S3 pounds.
"WelI,' he remarked resignedly,
that skins me. Come on, boys. Come
on, Hank
"'Ill be over in a minute or two,'
said Hank, who wanted to unload.
"'Oh! come on now said Fred. He
took hold of his arm and gave him
pull, but poor Hank didn't move. He
couldn't. He was so heavily loaded
that he could not lift his feet from the
scales, and the boys went back to
Whalen's and left him standing there
for three mortal hours while they were
across the way enjoying themselves
