famous statute and already the giant
is on his way back by freight to the
point from which he started as crude
block of gypsum rock away back in
1869.
The famous old fraud will be used
by Fort Dodge boosters as an adver-
tisement of the town.
Eastern dispatches say Mr.. Mulron-
ey paid $4,000 for the giant, but the
Fort Dodge man will not admit he paid
such large sum. "Of course" he
said, 81 gave more than watch charm
for the giant, pitt l didn't pay $4,000
for him."
George Hull had a religious argu.

Clark is deaf and dumb, but you

carry on a rapid conversation with
the members of his tribe by use of his
hands and fingers and movements Of
his head. This sign language is used
by all American Indians, but Clark has
not had opportunity to talk to Indians
of many tribes, because he has never
