GIANTS OF THE PAST,

Some That Were Thirty or Forty
Feet High, So 1t Ii Said.
The past was more prolific in the pro-
duction Of giants than the present. In
1880 one of these giants, who was ex-
hibited at Rouen, was ten feet high,
and the giant Galabra, brought from
Arabia to Rome in the time of Clau-
dius Caesar, was the same height.
Fannum, who lived in the time Of Eu-
in height
The Chevalier Scrog in his journey to
the peak Tenerife found in one Of the
caverns Of that mountain the head of a
giant who had sixty teeth and who was
not less than fifteen feet high. The
giant Faragus, slain by Orlando, the
nephew Of Charlemagne, according to
reports, was twenty eight feet high.
In 1914 near st. Gernad was found
the tomb of the giant Isolent, who was
not less than thirty feet high. In 1890
near Rouen was found skeleton
whose head held bushel of corn and
which was nineteen feet In height.
The giant Bacrt was twenty-five feet
high.
In 1923 near the castle in Dauphine a
tomb was found thirty feet long, six
teen feet wide and eight feet high on
which were cut in graystone the words
''Kentolochus Rex" The skeleton was
found entire and measured twenty-five
and one-fourth feet high, ten feet
across the shoulders and five feet from
breastbone to the back.
But France is not the only country
where giant skeletons have been un-
earthed. Near Palermo, Sicily, in
1916, was found the skeleton Of giant
thirty feet high and in 1859 another
forty-four feet high. Near Magrino,
on the same island, in 1916, was found
the skeleton Of giant of thirty feet
whose head was the size Of hogshead
and each tooth weighed FIVE ounces

A LINCOLN STORY.
When Lew Wallace First Met the
Third Rate Lawyer,

When Lew Wallace First Met the
Third Rate Lawyer.
The few uneventful years Lew Wal
lace spent In Covington were distin-
guished by one important event. It
was there that he saw Abraham Lin
coin for the first time. The Indiana
bar had even then some brilliant and
notable men among it's members, and
q case Of extraordinary interest had
called them together at the fall term
Of the circuit court. In relating the cir
cumstance General Wallace said: "Dur-
ing the session we were in the habit Of
gathering at the old tavern in the even
Ing after adjournment. 1t was a bril-
liant company, whose talk was well
worth hearing. One evening there ap-
peared suddenly in our midst a tall,
ungainly man. homely Of visage and
rather stAbbily dressed. He did not
intrude himself, but sat on the out
skirts of the company, neither prefer
Ing opinions nor taking sides in the
pretty warm. No one seemed to know
anything about him, and when I asked
friend who he was he replied care
lessly, oh, that is sons third rate law
yer, a man named Lincoln from some
where in Illinois, One evening, how
ever, after he had been Aere some
time," General Wallace continued,
something moved him to speak, and
then he began to talk. We all sat spell
bound.
II have never" General Wallace said,
heard anything that approached it
the logic, the wit, the pertinent anec-
dote, that poured out in an unceasing
stream. He talked thus for three solid
hours. Some one said, Whoever that
fellow is, we shall hear from him
again some day It was my first meet
ing with Abraham Lincoln" he said,
''and the prophecy that we should hear
from him again, it must be admitted,
was abundantly VERIFIED H.

At the trial recently Of man charg-
ed with robbery at Manchester, Eng
land, according to the London Globe,
It was announced that the lock Of his
cell door would have to be picked by
locksmith before he could be brought
into the dock. While the artificer piled
his tools on the door the prisoner Of
fered expert criticism and encourage
ment from the inside. He did not think
much of the bungling amateur There
was a similar instance not long ago in
Lancashire. The officials being unable
to open a safe in court, barrister,
who had just got a prisoner off for
burglary, suggested that his client
would open it for them. This he did
instantly with piece Of string and
two hairpins.'

A RoOmy Hotel.

A story is being told in Athens Of an
American woman who visited Greece
on cruise of the Mediterranean. When
she entered the train at the Piraeus in
order to reach the city she was OBJ
served by fellow traveller to be visi-
bly, disturbed and was asked to explain
the reason for her distress. "Oh," she
replied, eve been wondering what we
shall do. I hear we shan't be able to
get rooms at the Acropolis, and I don't
know the name OF any other hotel!"

The Greatest Things Are the Simplest

The Greatest Things Are the Simplest
The trouble with us is that we look
too high and too far away for our
chances. We forget that the greatest
things are the simplest In hunting for
roses we trample the daisies under our
feet. We are blind to the chances and
blessings near us because we are look
ing so far away for them. Everything
depends upon the power Of the mind to
see opportunities. 1t is the eye that can
see the chance, the pluck and determi-
nation to lay hold of it and wiring from
it every possibility that we lack rather
than the chance Ito make good."-Ori-
son SWEET Marden in Success Maya
zine.

A Bad Place to Get Sick.

In his book, uganda and Its Peo-
ples," ]. F. Cunningham tells Of a curl
Gus manner Of treating the sick among
a certain native African tribe: when
a person fell Ill the village prophet
was called in. He said at once wheth-
er the sick person would recover or
not. If he was doomed to die he was
allowed to fulfill the prophecy; If he
was to live there was no need Of med
ical aid" Another strange custom Is
explained in the words Of the native
who when asked by the author why
women were not allowed to eat the
flesh Of goats replied, There is no
why; 1t Is the custom" =.
