 But I suppose I might as well tell something of my advantage as we'll as disadvantages in this world. I never have any trouble viewing processions or the like. There is no necessity of climbing telegraph poles All have to do Is to find a comfortable spot on the curbstone and gaze at pleasure over the heads of the people.

 Another advantage is in eating. When I go into a restaurant I get my moneys worth. There is seldom any food left for a waiter to take back to the kitchen.
 'One of the things that is of more in- terest to me than almost anything else is my coming trip to Gorin, Mo. in- tend to propose to Miss Ella Ewing, a young woman nearly eight feet tall. have never seen her nor written to her, but mutual friends have tried to bring us together.
 "I think it quite possible that we might marry for business reasons if for no other. We may not love each other at first, but may learn to do so later Besides the unusual amount of atten- ton we would attract as team, there is valuablep rize offered in France that is worth looking forward to. A French prince years ago offered a prize to the tallest married couplre that pre- sent themselves within a certain num- Der of years. With the notoriety that the prize would give us we could tour Europe and ca splendid business.
 "The most unpleasant part of my ex- perience is the fear shown me by young children. I am naturally very fond of them, but they seem to have little use for me. I am so large that they are made shy of me. I suppose that comes from reading the children's stories of Jack the Giant Killer and such tales. can't get any one to dance with me because the ordinary sized woman reaches only little above my waist. They can't keep out of the way of my feet, and there you are. So sometimes I wish I were not so big for this world, where nothing is made for nine-foot man. From the San Francisco Bulle- tin

NO JOKE TO BE A GIANT
so SAYS A MAN WHO IS BIG
 ENOUGH

To Know -sttli, the Condition of
 Being a Giant Has Some Advantages
 By a Man Who Stands Seven Feet
 Ten and One-haif Inches in Ills
 Stockings.
 Edward Beaupre, the young Montana giant, who is feet tall in his silk hat, finds that this world is not made for his convenience. He cannot buy any thing that will fit him nor discover any one with whom he may associate. He is wonder. He is af reak of nature of immense physical proportions, and figures do not give an adequate idea of what he Is. For instance, Beaupre stands feet 10 1-2 inches in his stock ing feet and weighs 367 pounds. The average man wears No. or shoes. Beaupres are 22. His neck is 2 feet around, and his hands, from the wrist to the middle-finger tip, measure over twelve inches. Every piece of his wearing apparel has to be especially made for him. The cost of these is over twice that paid by the ordinary man.
 Beaupre is only q years old, was born in Montana and is of French pa rentage. He had some schooling, but not to amount to a great deal He led the strenuous life of a cowboy and ranch hand on one of the many cattle ranches of the Northwest until he be- gan exhibiting himself.
 From babyhood Beaupre was very large. At years he was 6 feet inches tall. and at IT had reached the 7-foot 1-inch mark Last year he added an- other inch and half to his stature and is confident that he will go still higher.
 The one romantic touch to his freak ish life is the wooding of Ella Ewing,

protecting. In one instance a detach- ment of mounted guards had to rescue three well dressed ladies from the hands of a group of socialist women who were bent on mobbing them.
 The clericals made several attempts to reach the place Beauveau on which the Elysee and the ministry of the interior are situated, but were prevented from doing so by strong cordons of police and municipal guards which were stationed at all the approaches in order to pre- vent demonstrations in front of these buildings.
 The demonstrations culminatied when a group of thirty ladies some in car- riages and some on foot, headed by Mesdames Reille. Re Nun, Cibiel and De PommeroI, attempted to reach the ministry of the interior in order to pre- sent to Premier Combes a petition on behalf of the sisters. The police, how ever, refused to allow them to pass.
 Subsequently, the Clericals made an angry rush on the cordon guarding the Avenue Gabrielle, and the soldiers had to use the butts of their guns to keep back the crowd.
 Another nasty incident occurred on the Champs Elysees where the crowd began thrown the small iron chairs bor- dering the sidewalks among the feet of the horses of the mounted guards. One horse fell, injuring his rider.
 A number of prominent Nationalists, including Deputies Millevoye and Auf- frey and several municipal councillors, were conspicuous in the crowd and were much ovated by their followers and hooted by the anti-clericals.
 By o'clock this evening the crowd began to thin out, and an hour later the place de la ConcOrde and the Champs EIysees had resumed their GUS tomary appearance. A slight shower hastened the dispersal of the manifest ants. About one hundred arrests were made.
 The fact that throughout the day ve- hicular traffic was not interrupted shows how well the police handled the great, unruly crowd with which they had to deal.

JUST THINK.
You Can Think When the Food Makes
 Your Brain Work.

Your Brain Work.
 The mind does not work properly un- less the right kind of food is furnished A young man studying telegraphy said that his progress was very slow. It seemed impossible for him to pick up the art and understand it.
 He suffered continually with stomach trouble and could not digest his food properly, and he finally got so he could do but little work and was tempted to give up his studies altogether.
 About that time some one told him about the brain food Grape-Nuts and he went in for it. In short time a very remarkable change took place. His stomach recovered and he became free from headaches. His hand was no longer nervous and trembling when he used the key, and the whole mystery of telegraphy untangled itself, for, as he says, T had the mental power to master it, and the understanding came easy when the mind was in poise and strong"
 He is now holding responsible posi- tion as an operator
 This is but one of the many illustra- tions of the advantages of using food purposely manufactured for rebuilding the broken down gray matter in the brain and nerve centers throughout the body. The facts are there and can be proven to anyone making the trial.

 A striking feature of the manifesto tions was the large number of women, many of them we'll dressed, who active ly participated. Nor were these all clerical in their sympathies, for the an- ti-clerical women were also out in strong force and they occasionally made things lively for their clerical sisters, whom the police had some difficulty in

 written by the honorable secretary when all the essential facts since brought to light were within his official cognizance. You have given public as- suranCe that the secretary is more de- serious than yourself even, if that be possible, to probe to the bottom every responsible allegation of outrage and torture to the end that nothing be con- cealed, and no man be for any reason favored or shielded. The draft on our credulity thus presented is large. but we accept your assurance. Meanwhile, permit us to point out that such very sweeping and somewhat uncalled for commendation and approval, so far as we are advised altogether unpre cedent- ed in character coming directly, and in the midst of active operations, from the fountain head of military authority, is scarcely calculated "to keep a moral check over acts of an improper charac- ter by subordinates." It is charita ble to assume that the pressure of official business, at the time of the communica- tion referred to. was such that the sec retary failed to recall what correspon- dents had brought to his notice or fully to advise himself as to what the files of his department might have to disclose. Such are certain of the conclusions reached by us from as careful a study as it has been in our power to make of facts thus far procurable. We have en- deavored to supplement and perfect the evidence. but our efforts to that end have been hitherto unproductive of re- suits We presented a formal memorial to congress, asking for a complete and
