me. When I was three months old | was
so big and strong that hundreds of people
came to see me as an object of curiosity.
At the age of six months my brother
could not lift me. and when was year
old 1 could put him on his back and keep
him there.
THAT boy Goo-Goo is going to make
a giant" said everybody to my parents.
and my father lamented and my mother
shed tears They had never seen nor
heard of but one giant, and he was very
wicked man.
About the first thing / can clearly re-
member was something that happened
when | was years old. I was playing
on the street in front of the house when
a dozen boys gathered around and began
to make fun of me. They called me names
and tried to trip me up, and one of them
finally snatched my cap and ran. This
provoked me, and l seized two OF the boys
and twisted them under my arms and
carried them to the canal and dropped
them in. l was stronger at years old
than any boy at 10. The clothes of my
brother who was then Z. we're far 20 small
for me, and II did not sit very quietly
on my chair IT was sure to break down.

pox In Siam, as well in America, but
over there mothers expose their children
to those diseases instead OF hiding them
| When / was years old they brought a
boy to the house who had humps and
after we had played together for an hour
and he had gone home, 1 heard mother
say 10 father:
our Goo-Goo will now have the mumps
and his head will swell up to the size of
barrel, and 1t will take a whole sheet
to tie up his jaws. Wonder If he will
cry around like other children?'
/ had the mumps, sure enough, but
everybody was astonished when / did not
mind 1t any more as II l had a bit of
headache. l would not let them tie up
my jaws, and / did not stay in the
house for an hour. 1t was the same with
the measles and chickenpox. l was roll
ing around in the dirt. flying kites and
padding in the canal when other boys
were In bed.
At the age Of seven my mother sent
me on am errand one day, and my way
led me along a road had never Travelled
before. After time came upon a carter
who had halted on the road, because a
bale Of goods had fallen off his cart The
bale was too heavy for him to lift up
again, and he was waiting for help When
/ came up he began to make fun OF me.
"Ho-ho," but whoever saw a porpoise or
legs before!' he cried out in ridicule.
/ made no answer, and he clapped his
hands and continued:
Surely, but this must be barrel
walking around for exercise, and l will
load 1t on my cart"
Instead OF replying to him 1 stopped
down and picked up the fallen bale and
replaced II on the cart. and then seizinx
the man by the neck and legs / heaved
him up after the bale and passed on about
my business. / heard him crying out In
tones of wonder and alright, but l did
not even look back u had not gone above
half mile when / met a fat man riding
on a donkey. AS we met he stopped his
beast and cried out:
"Well did | eVeri This must be q
young mountain taking a promenade this
fine day Come here and let me SEQ II you
have whiskers on your chin"
didn't want to hurt him, but thought
II as well to let him know that / was
not boy TO be fooled with, and 1 step
ped up and seized his donkey and threw
man and beast into the ditch together,
and whistled to myself as 1 walked along.
In my next will tell you how 1 ducked
the ruler OF our village I'm the canal, and
how he sent me to Jail and how / got out
ard went travelling to see the world.

once petite winnie Ream," but her dark
eyes are as beautiful as ever her tiny
hands as much like snowfiakes and her
manner as charming as when her studio
receptions of a quarter of a century ago
were crowded by senators and judges and
the dignitaries of the Capital
1t Is strange, but true, that government
jobs, especially those under the civil ser
vice, seem to be losing their attraction.
A number of good berths are now vacant,
and have been for some time, but not a
soul comes forward to fill them. Once
there was a regular scramble for every
thing offered by the government, good,
bad or indifferent-especially in that much
heralded field, 1.-The Philippines" But
somehow of late, young men have grown
remarkably shy of joining the clerical
force, under civil service, whose rules
grow more and more Objectionable. Old
and middle-aged men are debarred, you
know; and restrictions have been drawn
so tightly by the commission, and sala-
ries put down so low, that expert labor
(the only kind that will pass the rigid ex-
aminations) can command more money
else where, with less fuss about 1t. So in
high quarters the fact is bewalled that
not single applicant has made his APP
pedTdnce Tor the OnCe-cOVete0 post or
steamboat boiler inspector at Manila. The
salary is $3.50 a year; and though the an
nouncement of the examination to be held
May % was made a month ago, no appli-
cations have been received. Closer at
home there is trouble. The Commission
announces that there are not enough quail
flied candidates for the off1ce of meat in
spectors of the Bureau OF Animal Industry
in the Agricultural Department. These
places pay $1,4Oo a year, with good chance
for promotion. But skilled labor OF such
remarkably high order as that demanded
can fix its own price in the open market
