MAN WHO ENTERED THE NEW
CARTER BUILDING.
Had Only One Foot, Hence He Must

That the Giant Is Still Concealed in
the Building.

There is great deal of discussion
upon the streets as to the size shoe
the brazen giant who entered the
Carter building would require and
the News reporter has been asked
for an opinion upon the subject. To
begin with we do not believe the
giant had two feet ana would con
sequently not require "a pair" OF
shoes. 1t is our opinion that he might
have been a cousin to the far-famed
Cyclopse encountered by Ulysses in
his wanderings after the seige of
Troy and in some manner lost one
of his giant limbs. The brass foot
prints indicate that he had but one
foot and as he has made no tracks
leaving this handsome new structure
it is the opinion of this reporter that
he has taken up his domicile in our
midst and it might be possible for
those desiring further information to
secure personal interview.
