ant was good-humored man, of
friendly disposition, and he didn't be-
come any less 50 by any means here.
On the contrary, he took part in all
the games and sports, and enjoyed
them all, too.
"He played hockey with a hockey
stick as long as a telegraph pole and
as big around as a tree; andwhen he
played he took one side all alone, and
played against as many as wanted to
play on the other.
IF he set out to tow bunch Of
people he wouldn't have Just half a
dozen, OF dozen, tagging after him,
but he would have two or three hum
dred folks, grown-ups as well as chill
dren. And SO he would set off around
the pond with a train of people after
him as long as the tail Of a comet.
'sLater, the great giant took SONG,
part in the life of the town, where he
was received with most friendly kind
ness and generally esteemed. Butno
role in which the giant everappeared
in all the time he was there pleased
more people Or pleased them more
than did his gyrations on the ice, and
/ have no doubt that no inconsider-
able share of the friendliness always
exhibited to him later was first awak-
ened by his own perfect friendliness
shown to young and old alike in that
early informal association on the
skating pond"

BY THE WAY.

The streets of Union City have
been thronged with Christmas
shoppers for the past week, not.
withstanding the fact that the
weather has been very disagreeable.
The dry goods stores, hardware
houses, book and drug stores, and
every shopping concern in the city
have actually been too busy most
of the time to wait on their Gus
tom. Larger and handsomer lines
of novelties and valuable articles
have never been seen in Union
City and there we're a superabun-
dance of them. Citizens all over
the county have been here: Rives,
Troy, Obion, Woodland, Jordan,
Gardner, Martin, and all the small
or points have been represented
on our streets and stores. AS we
have often said there is not better
shopping center north of Memphis
IN West Tennessee, and this is the
best holiday season for many years.

thoroughly pleased and satisfied

thanks and appreciation and join

Popular in Germany But Little Used IN
This Country.

Notwithstanding the fact that
lentils are recognized by students Of
food economics as among the most
nourishing of vegetables, they are
very little used in America. In Ger
many, however, their value is fully
appreciated, and seldom a week
passes where 'Linsen," as they are
there called, do not come to the
table at least once, if not oftener.
In their dried state IT, y resemble
in form small magnifying lenses, be-
ing thick in the middle and tapering
toward the rims. They are very
hard, and to be properly prepared
must be soaked over night in water
before cooking. The form in which
they are most frequently eaten is as
soup, which has to be cooked for a
long time, until the lentils become
thoroughly soft, few bay leaves,
some celery, red pepper or other fla
voring materials being added.
Another way to eat them is in the
form of mush. In that case frank
furters are, as rule, cooked with the
lentils, although some prefer ham.
As vegetable side dish with frank
furters lentils are just as appetizing,
especially when prepared with vine
gar, as sauerkraut, and far more nour-
ishing.
Those who have never eaten lentils
may consider their taste-which is
different from that of any other
egetable-somewhat peculiar, but,
like olives, it grows upon one. Prop
erly cooked, they will be found a most
welcome addition to the list Of soup
vegetables that can be served to vary
the daily menu.-N. Y. Herald.

TOLD BY OLD CIRCUS MAN.
Fun for the Giant When the Show Was
in Winter Quarters.

in Winter Quarters.
che was great skater, the great
est Of all giants" said the old circus
man, to New York Sun reporter,
"and one of the things that pleased
him most about our winter quarters
was the fact that there was, near by, a
good skating pond.
''The giants skates, to be sure,
were little bit bigger than the or
binary. AS a matter of fact the
blades were about as long as scythe
blades, and the straps-that was, you
know, before the days of the present
clamp skates-were about as big and
about as long as trunk straps.
eve had settled cold weather pref
ty early there-we were likely to
have skating by Thanksgiving, but
every year, weeks before that, the gi-
ant would have his great skates out.
He was little too prompt in getting
them out sometimes, as he was, for
instance, the first year we stayed In
these quarters.
"That year the giant got out his
skates and went down to the pond
and dashed out on the thin ice as fine
as could be till he came to spot over
what everybody called the deep hole
and then down he went. 1t was as if,
by jimmy, he'd just skated out to do
that, and he was through the ice and
going down almost before anybody
knew it, and then the few folks
around on the banks begun to holler
and scream because they expected in
a minute to see him disappear entire
ly, drawn under the ice to drown.
'But in a minute, by gracious, he
stopped going down, and then they
saw him standing there in the middle
of the pond, in the deep hole, with his
feet, apparently, firmly fixed on the
ground, while the water and ice
didn't come up much more than
about to his chest,
''Well, that gave all the people
around there, for the first time, you
know, some sort Of an adequate idea
of the giants size. They had known
before, of course, well enough, that
he was something more than wonder
full, but when they saw him standing
with his head Nnd shoulders clear
above the surface in that danger spot
where every year, pretty much, for
as long as anybody could remember,
somebody had been drowned, why,
then they began to realize how tall he
really was.
'And I don't know but what in his
skating, natural as it all was, he
made about as tremendous figure as
he did in anything else he did. If
you could have seen him, towering
high up in the air, high above every
body there, as much higher as a
schooner would be than a great
throng of catboats, and he leaning
over this way and that, in the same
way as he skated, you would have
thought he was something amazing,I
am sure.

RICHARD OLNEY.

The following extract is repro
.duced by the Nashville American
from a Connecticut paper, the
Waterbury American, which says,
:" the Democratic, names most
prominently heard now in connec-
ton with the Presidential nomina-
ton are Grover Cleveland and
Richard Olney." Whereupon the
Boston Herald remarks: 'This
rs practically equivalent to mention
ing Mr.. Olney alone, for we as
sumo that no.one regards Mr.. Cleve-
land seriously in that way. He is
so spoken of because, to the minds
of those who bring his name for
ward, about everything that it is
agreeable to remember in connec
tion with Democratic. history OF
later years is associated with him
But 1t may with truth be said also
that with all that is favorably in
mind in that respect Mr.. Olney is
also associated. He is entirely sat
sisfactory to the Cleveland section
of the party for this reason, and
the fact that the Bryan people have
announced that his nomination
would be supported by them as
we'll makes Mr.. Olney's position
toward the the next Presidential
nomination almost unique"
40 which the Nashville Ameri-
rcan adds: " Among all the strong
men of all the parties there is none
ADLER than Mr.Olney. In the mat
ter of intellect, courage, clean char
acter, intelligent conception of and
devotion to Democratic principles,
he stands without superior. He
alsapproved his party's course in
1896, as did thousands of his par
TVS ablest and most thoughtful
members, and while it is not con-
,ceivable that a man like Olney
could have fully indorsed his par
ty's policy in 1900 he spoke for
and supported the ticket-a fact
which ought to make him accepta
BILE to the most intolerant. He is
incapable of those tactics which
have found favor with Hill and
Gorman, and he is an ADLER man
than either, or than any man, it we
except Mr.. Cleveland, who has
been mentioned in connection with
the nomination. If elected he
would make safe and conserva-
tive Chief Executive. There would
be no apprehension on the part Of
any honest class or interest, and
the whole country would have con
idence in him, for it knows he
would stand for honesty and JUS
tice. and would enforce the law
so far as it lies in the power of the
President to enforce it. He would
be President in fact as well as 10
