UNIQUE DAKOTA MAN
 WRITES OWN EULOGY

Watertown, S. D., Oct. 2.-There has re- gently died at Cbristoval, Texas, in the per son of one Caton Hablitt, one of South Da kota's most unique citizens.
 Haolitt.e bore the distinction throughout his 30 years of residence here of being the largest man in the state, he having tipped the beam at 5l2 pounds. Despite his great size, he was quite active, and for years managed successfully his 5000 acre ranch a few miles west of this place.
 He was a freethinker after the pattern of Ingersoll. No minister of1iciated at his funeral no hymns were sung, and the only services were the reading of an oration and obituary, which he himself had written some time before his death

 A Charming Personality
 Few men had such a charm of manner that was attractive in equal degree to the highest and the lowest There is hardly 8 prizefighter America has known in the last p years that has not boasted of his friend ship with Big Tim There is not thief of prominence that New York has known for the last quarter of century th&t has not boasted of his friendship with B.. Tin. There is not hamlet or a tank town i-nn he Atlantic to the Pacific from Lake Su perior to the Gulf, in which hobos have not told affectionate tales of Big Tim. While he held the friendship of prize6ghters, of hieves and of tramps, he also had the friendship in no less measure of the princes f finance, of great political leaders ann of other men of renown. He was one of the lew men with genius for politics who had a genius for business as well. II" thrVed because he used politics to push hls Eusi- ness-his theaters, his penny slot marh'nes, his moving pictures and his connection with the race tracks.
 Take 1t all in all, Big Tim was the highest type of feudal ruler that New York has produced in this generation. His career was a checkered and stormy one There was hardly savage accusation that nan could make that has not been lereled at him at one time or anothet ln 1889 In spector Byrnes asked the legislature for T peremptory bill giving him the power to arrest on sight al criminals whom hn might find in New York on the day of the cen tennial celebration in May of that year he Dill passed the senate unanimously, Du, 1t vas held up in the assembly by Sullivan.

A Busy Man

For many years it had been more diff cult to see Big Tim and speak with him han to have an audience with the king of England or the president of the United States He had to hedge himself about with Eeutenants as a matter of elf-protection. He knew his own weakness-that great number of persons were always waiting to touch" him, and that once he was asked he could not refuse. Yet the human bar riers that he reared seem to have kept out only the little fellows, if the story of his $7C0000 loss in bad loans in the last two years is to be believed.
 The possession of money and power by any man draws humankind to him as mo- lasses does flies. Big Tim drew not only the riffraff, but all other classes of human ity He was man of tremendous int1u- ence, and no doubt was credited with the possession of greater political power than even the vast amount that actually was his. By his followers he was regarded as next to omnlpOtent
 To see Big Tim at some public gathering was sight to finger in ones memory. He had the most magnetic personality of any man in American politics. His smile can be described adequately only by the word beautiful" He radiated kindness.
 There have been some pretty hard stories tcld about Big Tim He consorted with all sorts of characters, but no one ever knew him to break his word or betray a friend.
 Big Tim came up from the ranks of the street arabs. No one had started so low and risen so high in power There have been dozen times when he could have taken the mastership of Tammany and been the acknowledged political ruler of New York, But always he was content to remain in the background. He was not an orator and not student The only school in which he ever had chance to

MAN OF THE WORLD
 WAS BIG TIM SULLIVAN

Timothy Sullivan" Tim"-was one of the best beloved of the genial Tammany leaders whose power came from popularity in the swarming tenement districts that have put many Tammany candidate into office. His stronghold was the Bowery. Every winter he distributed shoes and Iothing to thousands of human derelicts.
 Big Tim" was a child of the Bowery. He was born in Leonard street tenement n 1863 and all his life he resided in the downtown district of New York. He was one of four young children left fatherless. When he was II years cid he was selling papers on the streets. But he was too am bilious to stay newsboy A year later he was working in newspaper pressroom.
 Sullivan was political power in a small yay before he was of age At 23 he was ected to the state assembly and there he 4erved continuously for eight years After he assembly came the senate, where he erved four two-year terms and part of a fifth. Then he went to congress.
 Big Tim" did not find Washington as c ngenial as Albany, and after few years # private life he was elected to the state enate again
 Against his will it was said he ran again for congress last fall.
 Big Tim's" wealth was acquired from many sources. Chief among them were aloon and racing and theatrical interests n which his association was eagerly sought At one time his fortune was estimated at ncre than $2O0OOOO but pensioners were instantly increasing, and during the last few years his ventures were less successful.
 Worry was the last ailment his friends gculd associate with Sullivans sunny dis position, but it was worry, they agreed, that final broke down his mind and brought him to death The death of his cousin, Al erman ('Little Tim"J Sullivan was the irst blow The treachery of one of his trusted friends cost him, it was said Sl00, 900. Then came tEe death of his wife. He irst showed signs of breaking down in August, 1911, and although since then there
