BIC FELLOW FINALLY GOT HAND
 kERcHiEFS HE LIKED.
Inventive Genius Of Laundress Brought to Bear on Problem That Had Puzzled the Directors
 of the Circ>s.

You know" said the old circus man
 "the great giant, big as he was, was g
 very dainty man; he liked fine, well made clothes and nice shoes and goot linen. and one thing that he was par ticular about was his handkerchiefs.
 Hmm. It makes me laugh tc think of the giants handkerchiefs That's one think we didn't think O, when he first came to us and we bought him lot of handkerchiefs O. the usual mems size
 Whats thisT says the giant the first time he ever tried to carry one of them.
 You see, 1t was so small in propor ton that it dropped down into the bot, tom of his pocket and he had to reacb in deep and fish around for 1t, and it wasn't mach use to him either, and ol course we saw right away that those bandkerchiefs wouldn't do, and so we had some made for him about three times the usual size, and those he saic would do, though he always wished we'd had lem made a little bigger, and then one winter when the show was laid up in winter quarters a queer thing happened
 The laundress we had for washing at the headquarters house was a nice old lady. but a little testy, and what with the work for the giant and all 1t used to keep her pretty busy, and one day when he went to his bureau the giant found he had no handkerchiefs, and as he was no piker and kicker he didn't go growing to old lady Mary that was the launldress-but he did go to the old man and say to him pleasantly that he seemed to be out of hardkerchiefs.
 All right says the old man. I'll see Mary about it,'"and he did. and Mary didn't say anything back to tha old man, but she says to herself. I'll fix the giant all right. I'll give him some handkerchiefs right now
 Wed just got in a bunch of sup plies of one sort and another for house use and in this bunch there was lot of new sheets, and what Mary does was to go to the storeroom and get half dozen of these sheets and then she gets the stepladder-she al- ways had to use a stepladder to get up to his bureau drawer-and in the corner of this drawer, where the giant kept his handkerchiefs, she laid in those nicely folded new sheets.
 The next morning when the giant went for a handkerchief that's what he found in the handkerchief corner of his top bureau drawer, and when he had got one of them and shaken it out he smiled. And then he tucked it in his outside breast pocket, leaving a yard of it. more or less, sticking out. and then he goes in to see the old man and yanks 1t out and shows the new handkerchief to him, and
 There.' he says to the old man. there's handkerchief that's some thing like. I don't exactly like the shape of it. he says; you see. it's made longer than it is wide.' and he held it up for the old man to see. but US big enough he says, anyhow. Now why can't have a lot of hand kerchiefs like that. only made square!"
 Why. you can,' says the old man Certainly. Of course. Why notr and be ordered a lot of 'em right awav made square. and that's the sort of nandkerchiefs the giant carried al- ways after that; at last he had got handkerchief that was biz enough 'or him"
