Custer County Republican. (Broken Bow, Neb.) 1882-1921, 1906-05-31

Young, good looking, wealthy, and,
perforce, a bachelor:
Such is the painful position of Aug
ust Barth, of Brooklyn.
And the cause
He is seven feet tall!
Somewhat sensitive on the subject
himself, Mr.. Barth has found that
maidens who have won his heart are
even more so.
Once engaged to a charming Chi
cago girl, herself six feet tall, the en-
gagement was broken because the lady
asserted she looked so small beside
him that they attracted attention on
the street.
Bride Must Be Tall.
Now he insists that the companion
OF his honeymoon must be at least SIX
feet seven inches in height. He says:
'She need not be rich, she need not
be beautiful. She need not even be
quite so young as l am. All ask is
that she be at least six feet seven
inches tall"
Six feet seven inches of femininity!

fondly to seven feet of masculinity!
Is it possible that there is no way of
effecting this ideal combination? 1t
would seem not
1t must be understood that it is
through no fault of his Mr.. Barth re-
mains, in the words of Rudyard Kip
ling, wild ass of the desert"

hood, covering many miles. He has
advertised, he offers reward of 500
to any one who will bring about such a
match-and still the right girl has not
appeared.
A number of the prettiest "show
girls" in current New York musical
plays were approached and asked If
they would have any strenuous objec-
lions to marrying a man seven feet
in height. If any demurred she was
Informed that this giant was proper
tionately rich. This seemed to set
tie the matter, and several of these
divinities agreed to meet Mr.. Barth
He saw them, but did not even ask for
a nearer interview.
They're all very pretty" said he,
"but not tall enough. I'll tell you why

clause.
His Lost Happiness.
81 was once engaged to a very pretty
girl. I was just out of college and
enjoying myself in Chicago. l met
this young woman, and we fell in
love. She was tall-nearly six feet
In fact-but when we went out togeth-
er she looked so very small alongside
of me that we attracted attention. She
was sensitive, and could not stand the
notoriety, so that, although she loved
me, she asked me to break the engage
ment.
NOW, I don't want to go through

BLOSSOMS QUEED CLOCK.
Freak Timepiece Whose Hands Went
Round the Wrong
Way.

Don't hear much of Dowie or In.
gersoll or anarchy nowadays" re.
marked Capt. Bill. 81 suppose they're
run down, like clock once saw when
was boy. Ever hear about Clos.
sons clock?
well, Closson was matchmaker,
and one year, when business was dull
he made this clock I'm telling you
about 1t was good clock in it's way,
with an extra strong handspring; its
wheels were sound and healthy, and
you couldn't tell 1t from regular
clock. But Closson put 1t together
backward, for he enjoyed his little joke
once in awhile, although lots of people
who claimed to know him best would
never admit that he had a sense OF
humor
$50 his clock started out in life with
click and buzz to do great things,
SUPPOSE and its hands went round
the wrong way. People that had time
to waste would loaf in front of the
window all day and watch the hands
going wrong; and lot of busy folks
set their watches by it till they learned
better, which they did pretty quick, be-
cause a clock that has only four lucid
moments in "a hours isn't going to be
standard very long. There were good
many folks, too, who stood up for the
clock and governed their movements
by it, making complicated arithmet-
ical calculation always to find what the
real time was; but that got to be a
nuisance, and one by one they dropped
away and returned to the old clock
over the church that had served them
pretty steady before Blossoms clock ap-
peared.
after that the new clock waved its
hands the wrong way and chimed revo-
lutions all the harder, and wondered
why its trade was failing off. And by
and by 1t ran down, and nobody took
the trouble to wind II up again."-New,

Rain which had come through the
night fell upon the little girl and she
was drenched to the skin. However,
she soon recovered and called for her

restful sleep. Despite her fearful ex.

THE POPE AND
THE PRESS.

Pope Plus X. has astonished all
Rome by opening a veritable press
bureau inside the walls of the vati-
can. Newspaper correspondents by
applying to this bureau will be given
reliable information as to what is
really going on within the immense
building which for years has been
the jail of the successor of st. Peter
This is only one of the objects of
the bureau, however. A special STAFF
OF young men has been assigned to
the task of reading newspapers from
all the large cities of the world and
preparing clippings for the use of
his holiness, who finds it impossible
to keep himself informed on what is
going on in the outside world. The
clippings relating to his own person
ana to anybody connected with the
papal house hold will be kept sep
arate, and if any erroneous state
ments are found they will be denied
by the bureau
