GUESSED MAYORS WEIGHT
Experience of Tom l.. johnson With
the weighing Machine Man.

Not long ago Tom l.. Johnson walked
past the postofFice and stopped before
n man who conducted a weighing ma
chine, says a correspondent of the New
York Tribune writing from Cleveland.
'It'll cost you a nickel to get weighed,
gents" he shouted, land if l can't
guess your weight beforehand within
three pounds I won't charge you
cent"
bet you the cigars he can't come
within twenty pounds of my weight,
said Johnson, turning to a friend.
This was overheard by the barker"
who didn't know the mayor, Make
way for the corpulent gentleman, my
good people" he yelled, and Johnson
elbowed his way through the crowd.
The "barker" then punched the mayor
in the stomach until he said, "Ouchr'
poked him in the small of the back,
felt of his thighs, pinched his legs,
slapped his cheeks and finally made q
guess of 265 pounds. Then he hustled
his honor into the little basket until
the machine groaned and squeaked.
"See, gents" he said, 81 guessed her
right the first shot"
You're all right" said the mayor.
Here's your nickel" And the crowd
howled as Johnson walked off to buy
his friend the cigars he had lost.
"Say, do you know who that man
was you just weighed?" a man in the
crowd asked the machine man.
THAT big. fat fellow? Nav"
Mayor Tom"
1.-THE deuce you say!'
Then he dropped his machine, hur-
ried after til mayor and offered to re-
turn his nickel, but Johnson threatened
to deprive him of his license if he per-
sisted in his generosity, and the incl
dent was closed.
