 Fastest Talker
 The fastest talker in the country is in Chicago in the person of H. 5. Throop. an auctioneer who holds the record for selling horses in the stock yards horse market faster than than six hundred in five hours better than 100 an hour. Nowadays horses are almost legal tender at the stock yards market, for buyers and sellers from every state in the union meet there and as q result the speed required of the auctioneer has stead lily mounted until his talk is one uninterrupted chatter like that of a gatling gun for hours at a stretch. Throop, a veteran buyer and sales man. now holds the long distance record for plain and fancy talking and his friends are backing him against a Coney Island spieler, a Mississippi river steamboat mate or a Pacific coast booster. Recently he sold GAO horses in five hours, and was jdst turning to go when he was told that sixty more head had come in for sale. In the open mar ket called the bull ring the horses, all numbered and labeled. are sent past the auctioneer at a run. whips cracking. bidders yelling and above it all the high staceato of the auctioneer rattling like hail on a tin roof, bids and sales following so fast al times as to keep three clerks nearly crazy to record the deals. When the plaeard sold to be sound is up the guarantee is made good but otherwise shrewd buyers run their chances, having examined the horses which were in blow traces in Iowa on one day being bought two days later at the high prices now prevailing
