THIS BOY SOMETHING
OF A HEAVYWEIGHT
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
HAWKESBURY, Cape Breton, jam
14.-The fattest boy in the province, If
not in the Maritime islands, is Charley
Wright of Ainslie, who at the age of
II weighs 436 pounds. He is so fat
that it is all he can do to carry his
own weight, and as his avordupois is
growing faster than his strength he
may shortly have to spend his life
sitting down.
Charley is the son of exceptionally
thin parents and comes of ancestors
who were not overburdened with flesh.
At birth he was of ordinary size, but
at the age of 3 months he began to
take on adipose tissue at an alarming
rate. When his girth became greater
than his height physician was called.
He found the boy healthy and adj
vised that nothing be done. In fact,
he admitted that the case was beyond
his skill.
Charley continued to grow fat and
when he measured ninety inches, or
eight and half feet, about the waist.
his father was forced to build chairs
and bed especially for him. AS he
couldn't get into the narrow pew in
church he had his choice of remaining
at home or sitting in the aisle. Being
religiously inclined, he chose the latter.
An ordinary buggy had to be equipped
with extra springs before he could ride,
and even then it listed badly.
Although Charley now measures nine
feet and four inches about the waist,
giving him a diameter of about three
feet, he lacks one inch of being FIVE
feet tall. This makes him look fatter
than he really is. He wears thirty
collar, No. Ia shoe and a No. IL glove.
Ali his wearing apparel is made for
him, as nothing big enough can be
found to fit him.
1t is generally believed that pea soup
and potatoes are largely responsible
for Charley's exceptional size. When
he was first taken from milk diet he
was given pea soup, the Strengthening
qualities of which are we'll known. To
this a little later were added potatoes.
The boy took to the diet as a cat takes
to raw meat, and refuses all other food.
Eventually pea soup and potatoes be-
came mania with him.

SUES FOR FIFTEEN CENTS
Fitchburg City Solicitor Loses His
Case-Carpet Cleaner Held Goods
for Storage Payment
Special to The Herald.


FITCHBURG, Mass, Jan. IA case
in which City Solicitor q. K. Hudson
was the plaintiff and Phineas A.
Nourse was the defendant was tried
in the superior court before Judge
Pierce. 1t was an action of replevin
to recover fifty-two yards of carpet.
The defendant is a carpet cleaner.
The evidence of the plaintiff was that
he sent a roll of carpet to the defend
ants place to be cleaned. After few
weeks he received a bill from Mr..
Nourse, which he paid. Later he sent
his man after the carpet, and it was
refused, on the ground that there was
q balance of 10 cents storage. Hudson
then brought a writ of replevin to get
possession of the carpet. Mr.. Nourse
alleged that he had a lien on the car
pet for the work done and that he was
entitled to hold the carpet until his
bill was paid.
Hudson said that the action of Mr..
Nourse was for spite, because he had
found a mistake of 10 cents in bill
that he sent him and to which he had
called the notice OF the defendant.
Judge Pierce said that II the jury
found that the defendant had lien
on the carpet he was. entitled to YER
diet of 81, and If he did not have
lien the plaintiff was entitled to a Yer-
diet of 81. The jury was out but
twenty five minutes and returned
verdict for the defendant The amount
Involved in the case made it an I'm
usual one and attracted considerable
attention.
