THE GREAT GIANTS FOOT.
Some Notion of Its Immense Dimen-
sions Given by the Old
Circus Man.

"Let me give you" said the old circus
man. in the New York SUM- some idea
of the size of the great giants foot.
In our winter quarters we had one
year cook who was very great on pies.
He could make mince pies, in partic-
ular, that even at this distance of time
| remember with pleasure.
"The cooks kitchen, Of course, was
on the ground floor of the house, and
it was right next to the giants room,
which, you may remember told you, we
made high enough for him by taking out
the floor above, thus carrying his room
up through two stories in height. You
may remember my telling you about
the door we made for him, too, carried
up through both stories, making door
like the scenery door of a theater, high
enough so that the giant could walk
in and out of his room without stoop-
ing.
well, it so happened that the kitchen
door was right close by the giants door;
and one day when the cook had been
making some of those mince pies he set
seven of them out en- the snow, just
before dinner, to cool. You see some
of our men liked their mince pie hot and
some liked it cold; and the cook set out
seven of them that day to cool.
But the giant, he didn't know there
were any pies there, and he started out
of his high door, just after the cook
put the pies out, to take little stroll
"The cook was still standing by the
window in the kitchen, looking at the
pies a minute to see if they were all
right, when he sees the giants foot and
leg coming forward out of his door, and
".Heyl' he sings out to the giant.
But it was too late. The giani
couldn't recover himself, and down his
foot came on those seven mince pies
cooling off in the snow, completely
obliterating four of them and pretty
well using up the other three.
80 that day everybody had to take
his mince pie hot"

The location Of the place for which

will have to make the assent by de-
grees, gradually acciimating them
selves ur til they can stand the air
and when they come down they have
