decent fellow, despite all this talk of
his being wise and tricky. I know
nothing about his bout with Corbett,
but knowing McCoy's disposition so
well. / can't bring myself to swallow
that story that he lay down to Cor

ambitious chap and his sole ambition
was to win fights and get to the top
of the pugilistic heap. If he did go to
the boards for Corbett of his own
volition, am greatly surprised

disappeared so effectively from the
public eye, isn't it?" was asked.

Coy's great twenty-five round draw
with the then formidable middleweight

made Dick look like novice, but be-

LONG BILL POLLARD
An laquity of Which He is Naturally Become
inc a TrifIe Weary.

II had occasion to go down to south
Georgia to look at some pine land late
~" said a turpentine operator, and
while driving through the district
with of the residents vas startled
to see an extraordinary looking couple
emerge from a roadside farmhouse.
| One was 4 short and very fat woman
aud the other was 4 raWboned, gang
ling man, who seemed at first glance to
be at least nine feet tall. That's Long
my companion, and whatever you say,
for heavens sake don't ask him
whether it's cold enough up there
Before I could reply the strange
pair were close at hand, and my friend
pulled up and introduced me. The
giant was 4 man OF about middle age
and had a scraggy, unkempt beard
and a morose expression OF c0unten-
ance. He ventured Il few vague re-
marks about the weather and crops,
and in reply to our questions gave US
some information in regard to the con-
dition of the neighboring %turpentine
woods, his spouse meanwhile chewing
a snuff splinter and maintaining a
gloomy silence. While this small talk
was in progress l did my best not to
stare at the man, but as soon as we
drove on 1 begged my companion to
tell me something about him. Pollard
is q native Of this county he said,
but he was picked up by show people
and travelled for years with small cir
cuses. His exact height is " feet
four inches, and gotten up in uniform,
with high-heels and helmet, he looks
fully eight. He saved a little money
during his circus career and eventually
bought q farm here and settled down
to spend the rest of his life in peace
and quiet. His wife used to be ticket
taker at q side show.
Nothing eXasperates old Bill more
continued by informant, than to have
people comment on his height, and
that's why l warned you not to get
off the regulation joke about it being
cold up there When he first came
back everybody i'll the district sprung
that gag on him as something new and
original, and at last he swore he'd lick
any maj that made the remark III his
hearing. He's hammered up three
fellows badly on that account since,
and our Justice of the Peace, who is
of. a humorist himself, al
ways let's him off on the ground of
j%ustitiable assault l suppose, come to
think about it, that a giant of a re
firing disposition really does have a
rocky time of it In private life.
The last I saw OF Long Bill he was
amblfng slowly up the road with his
fat wife by his side. 1 noticed that
her head was just on a level with his
waist."-New Orleans Times-Demo-

The pretty girl turned pinker still,

"see that pretty girl reading there!

saying sweet things to her, before
thirty minutes are up"
III bet you don't"
"All right! I'll show you how to do
it,"
In a few minutes he left his seat
and took the empty seat beside the
young lady. Presently he began the
operation.

The girl looked up in surprise from
the book she was reading. Then her
face frightened.
Would you have the goodness to
open that window just a little?"
Certainly, MISS" and he opened the
window; then resumed his seat. He
was about to renew the attack, when
she crushed him.
Thank you very much,'' she said
sweetly; 'if / need anything else I
will speak about it."
She resumed her reading and he
chung for a moment to the back of the
seat. Then he rose, very red in the
face, and he told his friend that she
was a stuck-up girl, and he wouldn't
bother about her.-Pick-Me-Up.
