Defying the Stomach

From the New Ork sun.
 While trying to drink a quarr of whisky without taking the bottle from his lips Isaac B. Pierson of Clarkvillc, N J.. recently succumbed to heart Lrou- ble. He had won the whisky on the Harvard football game and was so elated that he insisted that his stoma ch was as good as his judgment. He had almost accomplished the task when he dropped to the floor.
 More fortunate was Willis Hunting of Milwaukee, who took to himself a short time ago the title of champion almond eater of his city. He was very fond of burnt almonds and on wager agreed to consume five-pound box. He performed the feat, ate half a pound more to show that he had not won by a fluke and then--took his bed. A doc tor had to be called but with the lih- eral use of the stomach pump Hunting pulled through.
