Miss Cassie M. Carter.

sorts Of games with the young folks
and bouncing about in the surf.
When Miss Carter was born there
was nothing to distinguish her from
| thousands Of other children. She
We ghed only 61a pounds. and partook
of all the characteristics of her par
ents.
Her father weighed $50 pounds and
her mother only 1l5 pounds.
The father died when Miss Carter
/ was l3. and she has since made her
home with her mother, 10 whom, in
many senses Cf the word, she is big
help The child's gain in weight
was only normal until she was a year
old, but from that moment TO the
present her physical progress has
been of the most remarkable charac-
ter.
At the age of 90 months she weigh
ed 65 pounds and made a substantial
lapful for a mother, who could boast
only lis pounds. The bouncing which
she received upon the paternal knee
was considerably limited on this &C.
count. The baby carriage was made
OF the very strongest material, and
the mother who trundled II often kept
an anxious eye upon the wheels and
springs. fearful of disaster.
At the age OF FIVE Cassie stepped
upon the scales in the village grocery,
surrounded by wondering group Of
the townspeople. The grocer tried
the 100 pound weight and the beam
flew up with a force which threaten
ed to put the scales out OF commits
sion. When the notch marked 60 was
reached the beam remained suspend
ed. and Bluehill had the champion
/ 5-year-old, with weight of 162
pounds.
Two years later the girl weighed
211 poundsan her fame spread
| throughout the eastern part OF the
! state. Her subsequent gain was
steady, and has brought her notorlety
which would be very annoying had
she not been accustomed to it from
! childhood.
Miss Carter's latest measurements
taken a few days ago for Globe
correspondent, are as follows: Height,
feet inches; around the waist, 4
| feet inches; around the bust feet;
around the hips. feet.
With such dimensions it may be
readily understood that Miss Carter
long since despaired Of obtaining
wearing apparel in the manner of
other women. All her clothing is
made by herself and mother, for it
} is impossible to find anything in the
stores which will fit, even stockings.
Instead Of shoes she wears the widest
kind Of slippers.
Bargain day at the local dry goods
store is entirely lacking for her in the
, attractions which it has to other wo.
men of her age.
Her daily occupation is housework
and she is surprisingly nimble in the
performance of it.
She is present at most of the school
events in her town, and occasionally
INDUCES in dancing, although she is
very modest about her ability in that
line.
She chats in very interesting man
ner. with all who wish to talk to hel
and is entirely free from sensltiveness
about questions which concern hel
size and weight Her unfailing good
nature makes her a general favoritt
among the townspeople.

SCHOLARS GO ON STRIKE
Demand Single Sessions and Better
Lunch Service.

Cleveland, o., Nov. 4. over 200
boys and girls Of the West Side high
school went on a strike, demanding
single sessions and better lunches.
The strikers, who come principally
from the two upper classes, walked
out in a body, and. the boys held a
mass meeting on the public square,
where Henry Roegge, a senior, ad-
dressed them. It was decided that
none should return TO school until
single sessions were secured and bet
ter lunches provided
The strike is the outgrowth OF al
legged poor service in the lunch rooms
and the trouble has been brewing for
some time. lt is said many OF the
pupils were compelled to wait for an
hour and half for lunch because Of
poor service. They declare the lunch
they received was poor and high
priced, The butter, they say, was
rancid. Pickets were placed around
the school and attempts were made
TO persuade Others to strike, There
Is discomfort in all OF the schools of
the city over the matter. and the
strike promises to become general
unless conditions are remedied.

MICRO SHOT BY POSSE
Country Being Secured For Two More
Assailants of Woman.

Sutton, w. Va, Nov. "A posse
OF 200 armed men is securing the
country for miles around here in
search of two negroes, and If they
find them lynching will occur.
Three negroes visited the home of
Charles Lockwood, farmer living at
Exchange, and taking Mr.. Lockwood
from his home tied him to a tree,
where he was given q severe horse
whipping. They then entered the
home and dragged out Mary Lock
wood, the farmers wife, and attempt
ed a criminal assault upon her.
Charles Lewis, one OF the negroes
supposed TO be connected with the
affair, was shot and instantly killed
by the posse when they came upon
him In hiding, few miles from the
home.
Mr.. Lockwood is in serious con-
dition and may die from his in
juries. while his wife also sustained
severe injuries in battling with the
negroes.
