The Ingoldsby Legends.

The author of The Ingoldsby Leg ends" was Richard Harris Barham, a clergyman of the Church of England, who was born in 17Ss and died in 1s45. He was entered at St. Paurs school, London. and while there formed a friendship with Mir. Bentley, his con- nection with whom in after life was the means of giving to the world. through "Bentley's Miscellany" the mlrthful and marvellous Legends" on which their authors fame securely rests. Tn 1921 he was elected to a mi- nor canonry In St. Paul's. which was lhe turning point in his literary life. as 1t occasioned him to reside in London. Tn 1s3I Mir Bentley brought out his Miscellany" in which Mir. Barham began the Legends" under the nom de plume of "lngoldsby." His incognito could not be long preserved. and he was soon hailed by his assumed name in literary circles as often as by his own. The feribility of the English tongue wss neyer displayed to greater perfection thna in these mlrthful pro ductIons. Brt M-. Dsrhsm was not without higher poeticai qualities.

An account Of the ancient giants would be incomplete without mention ing Maximinus, the imperial giant of the third century. The most extraor- dinary stories are told of this emperor of Rome His height was eight feet ten inches. he could draw unaided a loaded wagon which six oxen could not move, while his appetite was so great that his usual rations for the day consisted of forty pounds of meat and a whole amphora of wine. besides bread and dried and fresh fruits.
 Mediaeval giants are plentiful, but. strange to say. the records of them are not so authentic as those of the times of the emperors. Funnian. a Scottish giant who fiourished in 1927, seems to be the most authentic of these, but as he is put down as being over eleven feet high the statement should not be criticised too closely. Still more star ting, however. is the following, which is vouched for by a monastery full of monks: In 1509 some workmen, dig. ging near Rouen, came across a cave in which were some human bones and a copper plate. bearing the words, Here lie the remains of the great and mighty Chevaller Rlcon de yallemont" The skull was large enough to have held bushel of wheat and the shin bone was over four feet long. It tthe bone) was preserved by the above men tioned monks, and it was estimated that the height of the defunct knight must have exceeded eighteen feet A stranger though so,ewhat similar legend comes from Ireland. but In this case the discoverers thought that they would. to use an expression popular some years ago. go the whole hog or none" It happened in 1Gns. Some men were digging in Ireland when they came across a brick tomb which con tained a human skeleton no less than l2O feet long. But there is "ralsoa d'etre" for all these legends. Accord Ing to a German professor. these bones. which were supposed by ignorant per sons to he those of human beings. were probably those of mastodous or some other fossiIIzed remains which io the uninitiated would look exactly like those of a nan.-IondOn Standard.

SOME GIANTS OF or
NOTEWORTHY SPECIMENS THAT An
 TOLD OF IN HISTORY.

The rpsdigious Strength of Polyda-
 mus, Who Rivaled Hercules-Feats
 of Maximinus, the Imperial Giant
 of the Third Century.
 If there is one thing in the show business which can be depended on to draw 1t is giant, provided always that he be big enough.
 But giants existed long before this profitable business was invented, and the names of many of them have been handed down to posterity simply be- cause they were of huge proportions and combined with their abnormal de- velopment a proportional amount of strength. Thus 1t is probable that had Goliath of Gath. whose height the ologians place at over ten feet, not been the strongest as well as the big gest warrior among the PhIlistines we should never have heard of him. The same argument applies to Moab. king of the Amorites, and og, king of Ba- shan. Orestes, too. was eleven and q half feet high. according to the Grecian legends, and he. together with Ajax the Greater. had they not been gifted with strength in proportion to their bulk would have been only ordinary soldiers of the Grecian army before Troy.
 When history begins, however-that Is, when Rome began to reach It's high est point of civilization in the time of Augustus and learned men began to write about the times they lived in in stead of the times that had gone by long before they were bOrn-we get authentic records of giants. In Au- gustus' time. for instance. there were, according to the authority of valarius. two giants in Rome who were over ten feet high. Their names were Idusls and Secundilla. and they were keepers of the gates of the gardens of Sallust.
 Then again we have a record in Pliny of one Polydamus. the son of Meas. who was over nine feet high and whose strength rivaled that of Hercules himself. POlydamus used. in fact. to boast his superiority to that Roman deity and perform his special tricks. For example. he once slew q Hon with a blow of his is; and scat tered Its brains about the arena. He could with his hand stop the swiftest chariot dead and on one cccaSi0n seized a bull by the hoOf in order to cary it away. but the animal strlg eied so violently that the hoof was left in his hand Tn the end he was ksIlsSi by the falling in cf cave. When his companions noticed that the roof was faIlIng they left. but Poly,lauus was so vain about his strength that he thought he couh not be kIIl@I Sg hc stayed and was finally cru<hef to death

AN EDITORS APPEAL
TO azrWvlaer dsublishers in Behalf 0f she
lost Child Of Dr. T8s ers OF
SeeleyyilIe, Ind.

If the editor of every paper in
the Central West will republish
these lines there is no question
but what DIR. s. a.. Byers of See
leyville, Ind. ,qnayqecoverhislittle
son who was stolen from his'home
one year ago last May.
f9r. Byers has spent his entire
resources ln search for lis child,
and unless the big hearted mem
bers Of the press come to his as
sistance his son viii grow up an
outlaw and an outcast among the
lowest people of THE earth.
1t is cause that should appeal
to everyone, and no fatherreading
these lines can do so without a
'quickening of the heart and sym
pathetic throb. Itis believed that
if this article is reprinted in the
newspapers it viii form an endless
chain that will uncover the lost
boys concealment and return him
to bis distracted perents. In doing
this the profession of Journalism
will be fulfilling one Of its highest
tlestinies.
Publishers whose circulations
touch the Wabash ,sOhio and Mis-
sissippi valleys are especially re-
quested to reproduce this story Of
the lost child, as DIR. Byers be-
lieves his boy is now on some
,h0useboat waiting to take the road
an the spring
Thereis reward of $500 await
ing any information that will lead
to the boys recovery. No tues
tions will be asked, and if the ab-
ductor himself would deliver the
boy to his parents he would not be
,molested. Ilhe fbereaved parents
are heert-brolSen with grief and
want only their child.
1feachJournal will reprint these
lines, they will travel to every ex-
change table in the UNITED States
and bring back to wretched home
"a child who is now, no doubt, slrf-
'fering with cold, unfed and wretch
ed to a degree. Think of what
your own feelings would be under
similar circumstances! This ap-
peal is indicted originally by u
publisher who-saw Dr.Byers only
once, has no spersonal interest in
hisquest other than the bond Of
sympathy THAT makes the world
akin, and,is inspired from the be-
lief that the lost hoy can only be
feund through thennited effort Of
the country press, of which he is
proud to be a member. His re-
.covery would be'a triumph in adj
wertising, and no editor whose.
heart is placed right will resist
this appeal. Remember, it may
be YOUR child next
Whe following is description
of the lost boy:
DESCRIPTION.
Richmond Byers, If alive, waste
years old last July; is of light COM
,plexion, has gray eyes, left eye no.
,ticeibly crossed, shas a small W
shaped nick III the edge of the left
ear, has a sharp chin and a narrow,
projecting forehead. He is rather
,small'for his age and,is unusually
bright and intelligent, taking after
the manner of "a boymuch older.
DR.. Byers has searched among
the rowing bands that frequent
the United States and believes
.that his son can be found among
traveling junk dealers, so-called
horse traders or movers. He does
not think the boy wes stolen by
genuine .Gipsies. He thinks he
was taken by wandering band
THAT used him for the purpose of
begging in the towns along the
route.
