Miss Gould was mar ried one day and Nelson was married the next day. The latter is noted because of his ability to knock down his fellow man in the struggle of the prize ring, while the latter is noted for her effective efforts to comfort and lift up those who have been knocked down and out in the struggle for existence. The ring followers of the country follow with interest the acts of the fighter, while the nation felicitates itself on account o! being able to lay claim to Helen Gould, now Mrs. Shepherd, who, if she has shown as good esnse in picking a husband as he has in substituting her country's admiration1 for the obelisk of odium raiseu u uie u.oney-grauDing pro - i j 1 i - . .

Miss Ella Ewins, said to be the I tallest woman in the world, died re . j cently at her home near Gorin, Scot land county, Missouri, at the age of 40 years. Her height was 8 feet and 4 inches. In a sketch of her life the Kansas Citv Time says: The extraordinary part of Miss 'Ewing's unusual growth was from j h? t'nie he was 7 -vears old until j lie was 10. At the former age she i ttas a normal little girl. Soon after i her seventh birthday anniversary she began to grow rapidly, and when 10 inches. She still had the tastes of i a child of her age and her life be- j came miserable. She was denied drove her away from associates of her own age. At school desks and seats of great size were constructed for her, and an exceptionally long bed for her was necessary. She was forced to stoop on entering ordinary doors, an(i the home In which her father and mother were comfortable was lila Q natra in har TTi nn m r f li n that her mother should accompany her, and she accepted the offer. Being heralded as a freak stung her sensitive feelings at first, but she eventually learned to look upon her extreme size philosophically. That attitude was made more easy by the big receipts. Subsequently she entered a con tract with P. T. Barnuni and for several years was an attraction of the big circus, traveling over Europe and America. The dream of her girlhood, to own a home where she would be comfortable, at last was realized. In her travels she never had been comfortable. Beds and berths were too short, tables and doors and ceilings too low. She couldn't find comfortable chairs. Life for her was a succession of makeshifts. She saved her salary received from Barnuni and after ac cumulating what she believed to be sufficient to last her, she left the show business and built a home near Gorin. The doors to this house were 10 feet tall. The ceilings were 15 feet. The beds are as long us she chose. Her bathtub was C feet long, and a sneciallv made hnmmnrlr nn ner veranda- was 15 feet long. Clothes closets are the size of ordi nary bedrooms and her dining table is Vz feet high. A peculiarity of Miss Ewing's growth was that above, the waist line she remained almost normal, except that her arms grew in proportion to l.he f rwth of her leKS" Her feet "' . "'a" J4, and she wore No. 24 gloves. Thirty yards of goods were required t0 make 8 dreSB fr her- After b"ilding a home t0 her meaB,,re' the B'antess again became ? Bhow '"""'"on. bt traveled only In states near her home. She never married. At one time she was en gaged to Edward Bcaupre, a French Canadian, of Butte. Mont., himself two inches taller than his fiancee, but the engagement was broken off. Another romance of Miss Ewing's life involved Louis Wilkins of Enid, Okla.. who measured 8 feet 2 inches in height. He was a suitor for her hfnd year8 aK0, Ectu had ,,8t then signed contracts with the Barnum show. Wilkins' suit was unsuccessful. He quit the show business in, Amer ica and spent years following Miss Ewing's refusal in Germany and Austria- He "turned several times to visit hiB parents, and always on those trips brought some gift for Miss Ewins. Wilkins died about six years ago in Chicago. Peculiar as far as the family rec ord goes is her thought for others, and peculiar as far as the habits of the generality of the extremely rich are concerned, in eschewing fashion able society, she undoubtedly has a personality of her own and an Indi viduality which has marked itself upon American hearts the nation 1 over. A millionairess forty times over, she is something much more, a princess in character, esteemed by a great republic, and has the warm friendship and best wishes of all classes. AN EARLY PURE FOOD LAW. English Bakers Had to B Careful In the Old Days. In the time of Edward L of England Innkeepers were not permitted to make either bread or beer. The former they were obliged by law to buy from the baker and the latter from the brewer. In "Customs of Old England" F. J. Snell declares that If the law defended what was considered the legitimate claim of the baker to a proper liveli hood it was equally solicitous for the welfare of his customers and was most severe upon the baker who sold bread deficient In weight or quality. For the first offense he was drawn on a hurdle through the principal streets, which would be thronged with people and foul with traffic, with the offending loaf suspended from hi neck. From a pen and Ink sketch of this cere mony It appears that the unhappy tradesman wore neither shoes nor stockings and had his arms strapped to his sides. It seems also that two horses drew the hurdle, which suggests that it rattled along at a pretty lively pace. ' For the second offense the baker en Joyed another ride upon the hurdle and then underwent an hour's exposure in the pillory. If he proved so Incorrigi ble as to commit the offense a third time his oven was demolished and he was forbidden to follow his trade. Queer Egyptian Burial Customs. The Egyptians have many curious customs In connection with the burial of their dead and the healing of the sick. At every Moslem funeral, for in stance, there are lired mourners, vary ing in number according to the wealth of the decensed. These funerals are al ways headed by old blind men, carry ing long staffs in their hands and wail ing loudly. They are followed by the relatives and friends of the deceased, and then comes the coffin. This is suc ceeded by two or three of the native flat carts common to Cairo, filled with women mourners. Mourning. In fact, is quite a profession among the women. Every day you see groups of them squatting on the ground outside the hospital at Cairo, waiting to be hired for a funeral. Wide World Magazine. Unique Signs In France. Frederick C. Penfleld was walking along a New Jersey road while his chauffeur fixed a broken tire. He no ticed a danger sign at the roadside. . "In France," he said, "at the entrance to their towns they have signs that are characteristically French and seem to me delightful Jn spirit. Over the rond as you enter the town limits is an arch on which is printed the name of tue town, the number of the road for all the roads are numbered in France and. the name of the department In which the town lies. Then below those in larger letters, 'Attention aux enfants ('Be careful about the children'). And then as you leave the town you see the back side of a similar sign, which says, 'Mere!' ('Thnnks')."-New York Tost. A Miserable Grafter. "That looks like some crib to crack," said the first burglar to his pal as they passed a suburban mansion. "None o that for me." said the pal. "One of the biggest grafters In the United States lives there." "How do you know that?" asked the first burglar. "I broke in there once and he caught me wit' the goods on," said the paL "I had to pay him $15 to let me go." IIai)er's Weekly. Misinterpreted. "Beg pnrdon. sir." said the doorman at the Staghorn club. "Haven't you made a mistake?" "I reckon not." replied Si Corntaseel.
