Tho Size of Great Men.

The Iron Duke has always been q
mystery. l have read that he was SIX
feet four inches tall have read also
that he was only five feet six inches.
Historians tell US he was anywhere
from five feet six inches to five feet
eleven inches There are some things
seemingly very simple which it is i'm
possible to establish. This is one OF
them. Historians are still guessing the
height Of Julius Caesar. the size OF
Hannibars head, the weight of Alex
ander the Great and the general di-
mensions Of Solomon. Why. we are not
even sure Of the stature of George
Washington. 1t might be believed that
Napoleon, Alexander the Great and
Jay Gould were of the same size. three
bumptious little chaps. And it is com
mon belief that Charlemagne. Erling

Bruce. Sir William Wallace. General
Winfield Scott and Richard Coeur de

Mrs. Elizabeth Martin started early in

refuge in vernacularity.
Don't mention it, he said stolidly.

And he rode away-rode away ours

Along the driveway IN the early
morning spun victoriaa drawn by q
pair Of fiery bays. There was some
thing foreign about the affair, for the
park is rarely used in the morning ex-
cept by unimportant people who love
to be healthy, poor and wise. In the
vehicle sat an old gentleman with
snowy side whiskers and 4 Scotch plaid
cap which could not be, worn while
driving except by a parsonage. At his
side sat the lady Of Remsen's heart
the lady who looked like pomegranate
! blossoms ana the gibbous moon.
Remsen met them coming. At the
instant of their passing her eyes look
ed into his, and but for the ever cow
ard heart of true lover he could have
sworn that she flushed 4 faint pink.
He trotted on for twenty yards and
! then wheeled his horse at the sound
of runaway hoofs. The bays had

Remsen sent his chestnut after the
victoria like a shot There was work
cut out for the impersonator of Police
man O'Roon. The chestnut ranged
alongside the off bay thirty seconds
after the chase began. rolled his eye
back at Remsen and said in the only
manner open to policemens horses:
"Well, you duffer. are you going to

muscles. The driver released his hands

team. The chestnut. approving his new
