>NEGRo'S FOOT USED
AS WEIGHT Tester.
Didn't Believe Pound of Iron Was
Heavier Than a Pound
of Feathers.

"a pound am 4 pound howeu:never yer
look at er." This statement Was positively
adhered 10 yesterday by Jerry Talbot of
No. 1914 North Ninth street.
To-day he would doubtless declare him
self differently. Yesterday he was induced
TO try the world-famous experiment of
dropping a pound Of lead and a pound of
feathers on his toes. to determine their re-
spectiva weights. He used iron instead CT
lead. but the demonstration was just as ef-
fective He is new at the City Hospital
with contusions on his right foot that will
require medical attention for several days
TO come.
Jerry is teamster and yesterday he was
loading a lot of scrap iron upon his con-
reyance at Eighth and Biddle streets. A
friend of his happened by and engaged him
in conversation. Probably the iron which
Jerry was handling suggested the theme,
but at any rate their talk ranged into an
argument as to the weights of various sub
stances.
They differed on several points and Jerry's
friend wanted to wager that he was correct
on each of them. Jerry would not wager.
"A nhereat the other. probably as a joke, made.
the hackneyed proposition: I'll bet you
what YOU like Il pound Of lead is heavier
than a pound of feathers
Jerry replied with his assertion about 4
pound being q pound under any circum-
stances. The friend then suggested the
practical demons tration. a Inattressmaker,
whose shop was close by. agreed to furnish
the feathers and piece Of Jerrys iron
served in place of lead.
The trial was made. Both materials were
dropped on the negro's toes. He admltted
that the iron was the heaviest.

THINKS 1T is THE REAL THING.
Doctor Hyatt Believes the Cold
Weather Is Here.

Local Forecaster Hyatt believes that the
cold weather which has been side-tracked
for so long and which he has predicted with
such regularity FOR the last two weeks will
arrive in St. Louis early this morning and
grow more intense during the day.
He is convinced that the raw weather and
rain of yesterday We're the harbingers of Il
prolonged cold spell which will endure un-
III after the Thanksgiving turkey has been
put to death and devoured.
He does not promise clear, brac!ng winter
weather. but says that as far into the future
as he can gee there is nothing in store for
ST. Louis but threatening. cloudy weather,
with rain and snow. There is Il high barom-
eter over the Rocky Mountain slope and the
Northwest. The lows are over the Atlantic,
Gulf and North Pacific States. \ cold wave
with tmeperature from to u degrees below
zero extends over the Northwest.
