NOVEL PUBLICITY STUNT
ON THE PERSON WEIGHER

A. G. Mcclure, Of Louisa, certainly
got the Toledo Person Welgher into a
lot Of desirable prominence at Terre
Haute recently. Terre Haute Council
u. G. 7. gave a May festival, which
WAS well attesded by members nd their
wives. Mr.. Mcclure had person weigh
er on hand and all the ladies, at their
respective places. were given a card
showing the name and address, with a
space for the weight. Later on they
were weighed on the person weigher
and an adding machine added the
weightes up. They then divided the to-
tai weight, which was about 1900 lbs.
by the number weighed which gave an
average Of 1873 lbs. The lady who
weighed exactly this received the first
prize. and the ones weighing nearest
above and below that amount received
second prizes. Then there was a prize
for the heaviest, 2O3 lbs. and prize for
the lightest. IS lbs. The newspapers
in commenting upon the affair, con-
ceded that the stunt one OF the best
and most original ever pulled of by
the local Council Of the U. c. T.
This is certainly the way 70 stir up
interest in the person weigher and Mr..
Mcclure is to be congratulated upon
his enterprise. upon his originality and
upon the ability which he displayed in
putting the new idea across.

four other persons were leaving the n
& w. depot. with No 4 still at the de-
pot, they were very much startled BY

the little girl and held her until he

came ON the platform to see what was
the matter. The colored porter OF the
pullman entered the sleeper. which al
that time resounded with the screams
OF one Of the women passengers who
declared that her child had been lost
or was stolen. The excited child. how

declared that she did not-kncw how the
child had gotten on the train. "Ahrs
wen that ends well" and the tram
moved eastward without further Incl
dent II is believed that the child
might have been walking In her sleep
and was only aroused by the noise OF
the stopping train.
