Oliver Wendell Holmes, it will be

The man sat quietly in the pew
of st. Paul's church-sat through
the sermon, very drunk. When it
was over they consulted awhile and
then the sexton and some others
dragged him out of the church,
across the yard and through the
gate, which they shut on him.
"He comes in here to church oc-
casionally on Sunday" said the Off
ciating pastor. 'Tt's a strange thing.

There are also "reminiscences. In

@Welsh Rahbitn .ParallsIs.

1t is to be feared that the manner
as well as the inventor of the
'Welsh rabbit" is lost in antiquity.
As early as the eighteenth century,
when Grose expounded the vulgar
tongue, the false "rarebit" deriva-
ton had crept in. "Welsh rabbit"
Is exactly parallel with scotch
woodcock" and may be compared
with the humorous nicknames of
many other delicacies. Thus,
baked sleeps head used to be
known as "Field lane duck" red
herring as "Glasgow magistrate"
a Norfolk capOn" OF a "two eyed
steak" potatoes have appeared as
Irish apricot" or Munster plums,"
and "Grayesend sweetmeats" were
shrimps. In America a "Cape Cod
turkey is a Goldfish, and a prairie
oyster" is a drink. And the "colo-
NAL goose" of Australia represents
leg of mutton with savory trim
mings.-LOndOn Chronicle. ,

SOME HISTORIC GIANTS.
%. eos and hiasos Were the Biggest
Men On Record

Men On Record
It is q matter of perpleIty to
most small boys whether they shall
become giants or clowns. There
are plenty Of clowns today, but
there, win probably never again be
such formidable giants as Og, Cog
and Magog. Og, we are told in
Deuteronomy, was the last real
giant. He was that king Of Bsshan
whom the Israehtes slew, and his
bedstead was nine cubits long, or
about thirteen feet. This bedstead
theory may be based upon the huge
sarcophagi which the Phoenician
kings had made In imitation of the
Egyptian custom.
Cog and Magog are mentioned
several times in the Bible with
more or less indefniteness. In the
Koran they represent a barbarous
people inhabiting Central Asia, and
they were probably born out of the
terror inspired by the Scythian
hordes that oVerthrew the Assyrian
empire. Wooden statues of Cog
and Msgog fourteen feet high have
occupied pedestals In the London
guild hall for centuries and were
formerly carried through the streets
in the lord mayors shows. They
welcomed Henry v on London
bridge in 1415. According to Cax-
ton, Cog and Magog were the sur
vivors Of a race Of gis nts found in
Britain by Brute, SOC, of Antenor
Of Troy, and brought by him as
prisoners to London , where they
were chained to the gates Of a pal
ace on the site af TIN. guild hall and
kept as pOrters-
All primitive raO es seem to pos
sess legends OF gis nts, as did the
Greeks, Romans Ilnd Arabs, but
nine feet seems b D. be almost the
highest authentic stature recorded.
Topinard's Finlan der exceeded this
by four inches. Winkelmaier, an
Austrian giant, who died in 1887,
was eight feet; seven inches in
height. Charles Byrne, the Irish
giant, attained I he stature Of eight
feet four inches
The tallest = ace in the world is
the Scotch Of Galloway, who aver
age five feet eA wen inches in height.
Next come th inhabitants of the
rest of Scotl1 nd and then the Lii
Vonians, Irish Morse, English, Po-
lynesisns, Sil hs, Fulahs Of the Su-
dan, Ksfirss Cheyennes and Pata-
gonians.
1t is, hOwa ever, possible to become
a giant wiz n a little perseverance.
There is In the brain a mysterious
organ moI n as the pituitary body,
injury to which, some think, pro
duces the disease known as aero
megaly, i which the head, hands
and feet become enormously en-
enlarged But this form of giant

"Oh, shell pay me all right. You

Tm glad you're % hopeful," said
Mrs. Fulton, with q skeptical smile,
for she had had experiences of her
own In lending MrS. Dwight bowls
Of coffee and cups Of butter that
had never found their way back to

abe asked her husband if he had
met MrA Dwight again.
~Yes; twice.

The weeks went by, and Mr.. and
Mrs. Fulton continued to joke from
time to time about the absent dol
lar, and one evening after having
ridden al the way out from town in
the same seat with Mrs. Dwight,
Fulton admitted, with exaggerated
mOuTnfulness, that he was begin

about ever regaining his dollar.

When Fulton sat down at the din

his plate, "What's this?"
"Your dollar" answered Hilda
triumphantly. 81 went to Mrs.

Death Comes to George HOughmaster.

Just before going to press, news
was reported by friends of George
Houghmaster, through letter re-
ceived from a correspondent of the
family. that Mr.. Houghmaster passed
away at his home in Prosser, the
first of this month. The first an
nouncement of the paralytic stroke
had prepared his friends here for
the worst, in view of the known
greatly reduced strength of the
stricken one. Complete data is not at
hand for an extended notice Of Mr..
Houghmaster's career and history,
but it is known that he was in the
neighborhood of GO years of age,
was a veteran of the civil war and
that the only immediate survivors
are the widow and the adopted
daughter, Miss Irma Houghmaster,
who are entitled to the heartfelt
sympathy of their old friends and
neighbors in this city.

same cry might fittingly go up from
a majority of the small cities and
villages and even school districts of
the state, and even with the cleanest
of records there are doubtless many
municipal organizations where only
the accounting official has any knowl-
edge thereof. We can speak of this
matter without prejudice to afflicted
towns for the skirts Of Marshall have
been bedraggled, and several thous-
and dollars lost to the city, through
dishonest practices in the first in
stance, and through the neglect of
city officials in auditing accounts.
And there was and is no recourse
for this loss. When Gray was re-
moved from the office of city re-
corder there was found an unknown
shortage, which by good authority
was claimed to run into the thous-
ands, but owing to large expense of
expert investigation the matter was
dropped, through the same indiffer-
ence and neglect that was the cause
of the deficiency"
