the crews of the two locomotives, and
brought them back to the express car.
Colford, helper to Messenger O'Neill
attempted to shoot the robbers with a
shot gun but the she'll failed to ex-
plode. He was covered by the guns
of the bandits and compelled to give

shOwmen have discovered and imported giants more
than nine inches taller th>n the giants of fifty years
ago, over whom the whole country marveed. Chang
the Chinese giant. was the forerunner of a number
of these gigantic impOrtatiOns.
What the giants have gained in height in the mod
circus the midgets have lost. There several
so-called midgets connected with the circus
today who would have been dwarfed beside the little
people of half century ago. Public taste in these
matters has become critical and yet the mdgets
of past generation attained fame unrivaed in

bouncing boy at birth, tipping the scales at
nine and half pounds, he did not continue to grow
naturally after he was seven months old. From that
time his growth was so slow that 1T was almost
imperceptible. Even at the time of his first engage
with Barnurn, in 1912, he not more than
feet tai and weighed less than sixteen pounds.
But at the time of his death, which caused by
stroke of apoplexy, he weighed seventy pounds, and
measured forty inches in height. His wife also
added her proportions with succeeding years being
little shorter than her husband her marriage but
increasing his exact height in later life, weighing
however, only fifty pounds. Two years after his
death in 1888 she married Count Primo Magri
Italian dwarf but survived her first husband only five
years.

increased by his charming little personality He was IN

In discovering mere

was from Ohio, was for
many years the talleSt

giant in the world. His
height was not remarka-

modern standardS-he
was a trifle over seven
feet high-but his enor-
nous bulk corrected the
impression and Chal-
lengcd respect. He
tipped the scales at five

He was well-propor-

century since the first exhibition of
freaks was collected and exhibited by
2. T. Barnum. These celebrities were
photographed as early as 1888. In
their quaint, old-fashiOned clothes they
are figures of actual historic interest
The original freaks in nearly every
instance were native American pro-
ducts. The great drag-net which the
showmen have since spread to gather
freaks from all parts of the world had
not yet been set. In comparison with
the most cosmopolitan of modern freak
shows, however, the original Barnum
forces will be found to compare very
favorably. And an absolute compari-
son is possible, for the various dimen-
siOns of the freaks, the height of giants
and of midgets. the weight of fat girls
and fat boys, are carefully preserved in
the annals of the circus. much the
same as the past performances of
horses are recorded at the race-track.
