TIE GREAT SCOTCH GIANT.

A PORTENTOUS HISTORY. BY Alfred
Tennyson l2mo, PIP. 3i9. Duffield &
Co.
There is much more than an attempt
to be humorous in this story of the
childhood and youth of James Mac
donald, the Scotch giant. who in later
years, so we understand from the cid
ing, became the wonder Of the circus
world. James had an unhappy child
hood in his Highland village the mo-
ment his abnormal growth began to set
him apart from other children. Born in
poverty, he ran wild, neglected, I'M
kempt At school he was the butt Of his
mates, timid because mentally unde-
veloped, morbidly sensitive, nartlcu-
lately affectionate. He communed with
nature in a vague, uncomprehending
way until the Highlanders deep love Of
his mountains crept into his heart and
gave him consolation. At seventeen he
fell I'm love with girl who scorned him
and who came to fear his gigantic
strength when, to save her life, he threw
q bull and nearly killed 1t. His strength
here was IA revelation, James abused
it one delirious night by terrifying the
village that had prosecuted him. Then
came the impresario, who explained to
him that the physically abnormal can be
happy only i'm each others company:
They are kind Of family, between
whom perhaps there is a tacit understand
inG OF sympathy, drawing a livelihood
from. their more conVentionally moulded
relations After all. James. they have in
these very oddities sources of wealth and
distinction, and | think that I'm time they
will even become rather proud Of those DIFF
ferences which, in earlier days, no doubt
used to make them miserable
The story ends with the announcement
on London's billboards Of the coming Of
James the Scotch giant. one could wish
that Nj Tennyson would write a sequel
dealing with the life of the freak family
OF James, the Bearded Woman, the
Liliputians and the Dog-faced Man, the
Venetian dwarf and many others. 1t
might be worth doing if Il were done
well, sympathetically and with knowl-
edge of facts 1t has. moreover never
been done ii memory serves, except in
cidentally by Hector Maiot in one Of his
capital tales for children, Roman Gal
bris" But that was an episode Of
hatred and jealousy rather than of SYM
pathy. Even James. no doubt developed

ment"

pany met death Tuesday afternoon by
falling from a telephone pole at the
corner of Higgins averue and Seventh

in his death occurred shortly after one
o'clock. -
Elan was sent to a cable box at the
intersection of Higgins avenue and
Seventh street to test out some lines

arm. falling distance of about their
ty feet, striking on his head. His neck
was broken by the fall.
There we're no marks upon the body
of the dead man to Indicate that the
acciden. was caused by him coming in
contact with an electric wire, and as
no call was received from him in the
central offie strengthens the theory
that he fell frum the pole before
reaching the cable box above where
were the electric wires.
Elan was one of number of exert
linemen that had been employed by
the local company to repair the dam
age sustained as result of the recent
sleet which impaired the service in
