George Moats, a Rustic Giant, Carries 200 founds a Distance of One 3Iile Without a Single Rest Mishap on the Way. UA wonderful act isn't it?" re marked a gentleman in tbe audience at the museum, as the "iron-jawed" man raised the barrel of water high in the air with his teeth. 4,How does it strike you, Uncle Jerrry?" "Uncle Jerry" was a tall, gaunt -man, whose sunburnt face, slouch hat, and ill-fitting clothes gave him a decidedly p.ovincial air. "Waal, it it's purty good," said he, reflectively, as he scratched his chin, "but it looks ter me like a trick somethin' he hez practiced fer a long time. Git him away frpm his bar'l an' I reckon he ain't so stout. But talkin' about weight-lifters, I know a feller in this state as is a weight-lifter, and a weight-carrier, too; uv which latter I will remark thar ain't many. I knowed him when I used ter buy Hogs down in Ulinoy, nigh onter ten year ago. He lived in Princeville, a little town in Peoria county, which wuz allays just as big as it is- now, and allays will be. Moats wuz this feller's name George Moats. He vmz about 55 years old when I knowed him past his prime, but a hustler yit He wuz built like the statutes ye see in the drug store windows uv ole Atlas a holdin' up the world, and wuz the only man I ever see that had no armpits. They wuz rounded out with muscle, and made him carry his arms bowed out like a dood. He weighed about 250 pounds, and I reckon he was one of the slouchiest men on earth at that time. All the does he wore wuz a pair uv overalls an' a cotton shirt, an' he gen'ally had aboard a considerable dose uv liker; but George wuz one uv the best nat ured men in the world, an' as he used ter say, no man knowed his strength. "The best thing I ever see George do wuz to carry 200 pounds a mUe without layin' it down er resting' on the way. No you fellers look as ef thet wasn't much uv a trick, but let me tell yer it's a big thing. Any uv yer k jx lif 200 pounds and mebey car ry it acrost this room, but whar will yer fine a man thet's got the nerve ter packit a mile without weakenin'? "It happened this way: I hed ben a-stayin' aroun' Princeville some time a-buyin' up shoats fur winter fatnin', an' one arternoon was a-settin' on the hotel porch with a lot uv fellers, George amongst the rest. George was full of liker, as usual. He wus mashed down inter a chair, half asleep, his head on his breast, an' his big, bare feet turned up ter the sun aginst a post A little sport uv a fel ler, named Charlie Fast, wuz a readin' in a Chicago newspaper how a feller there hed tried to carry 200 poun's uv shot a mile in the expersition. an' hed fell down on it. George grunted like a fat hog, an', sez he: 'That feller mus' be a chump; my ole woman kin doit' "Til bet ten dollars you can't do it," sez Charlie, a-winkin' at the boys. "This kinder riled George, an' sez He: 4Ye wouldn't say that, Charlie, if yer knowed I hed ten dollars.' "Jest then Fred Beach come outen the saloon, an sez he: Til take the bet, if George sez ho kin do it' "An' then ole Jim Kice, the landlord uv the house, sez: Til taie three dol lars of the same, fur I know George kin pack anything he kin lift.' So Charlie tuk 'em both an' the money wuz put up in my han's. George wuz ter git half the bet if he done it, an' Charlie wuz ter pick the mile ter be traveled and the weight "We went acrost the road ter the drug store an' got two 100-pound kegs uv white lead. Each one wuz put into a grain sack, the two tied together and slung acrost George's neck. The whole thing weighed 206 poun's and wuz on him the wust way TOssible. "It wuz a blazin1 hot day an' the ; black Ulinoy mud wuz six inches i deep. Charlie hed picked out the south road from town, 'cause it wuz up HUl an' down. As the roads wuz purty slippy, an' George wuz purty arunc, it wuz ueciuea met ue snua Have a minit ter git up in in case he foil down. So, arter considerable wranglin' about one thing an' another, wHich'wuz a pint made by Charlie ter tacker George out before the walk begun, the null town started down down the road, George a-leadin'. The knot on the back uv his neck kep' a-botherin' him a good deal, bo he kep' a-shif tin' the kegs, bometimes on His back, sometimes on his breast, an' Agin carryin' one on each arm, an' all tn "tune a-staggerin' under his wHiskyt an' a-slippin' an' slidin' aroun' in the mud, like he wud fall every minit. "The mile ended with the fust cross-roads, and the lasl stretch uv'it wuz up & steep hill George kep' up all right till he started up this hill, when the kegs, the mud an' the liker got the befit uvliim and down he went He hed got the idee in his head that He musn't put Jiis han's on the groun' ef He fell, er He wud lose the bet. So, instidxif breakin' the fall with his han's, 'He throwed 'em aroun' on his back, an' the 200 poun's aroun' his neck shot Him inter the mud like he'd ben throwed offen a house. He spat tered mud on the hull party when he lit, an thar He lay, his head half buried in the mud, an' one blear eye a-HiriiSQun' up at us like a dyin' coal in the ashes. 'Charlie Fast got out his '"wratch an' purty soon He said: Half-a minit, George' But George sed nbtHin' an' we thot he wuz dun up. Jist then ole Vaughn Williams pulled out His wallet, kind-a-solemn like, unwrapped the shoestring from it wet his finger, an' sed: 'Genelmen, Til bet $50 He gits up with it on time." "The boys all yelled an' looked et George, and Charlie sez: 'Yo've got jiet -ten secuns more.' And then George spit the mud outen his mouth, snViithe: If ye think fifty dollar's worth- that I kin get up with this Here, Vaughn, To a-goin' ter git up.' An' He" did.' He rose right up offen hkfftirenV without movin' His Han's aBifitmliwo"kegs a-danglin' over His face like two big ear-drops; an' while the boys wuz a-yellin' he walked up ter the top uv the hill an' throwed them kegs over a stake-an'-rider fence 'leven-rail high. "YVe hed ter let the fence down ter get the kegs back inter the road, an' thar wuzn't a man in the crowd as cud lift both uv 'em an' put 'em in the wagon we hed fetched along ter haul 'em back. Fred Beach laffed, an' sed he reckon ed as how he wuz a jedge uv man flesh as well as hoss-flesh. An Charlie Fast he jist cussed, an' sed he'd seen luck like his'n run on for a year et a time, an' then turn 'roun' an' get wuss; but he said he never lose 15 easier, an' George he'd earnt his half uv it, sure. But ole Vaughn Wil liams he chuckled kind-a low like, an' spit out his terbaccer, an' sed he acted like George wuz a pow'rful man, but he knowed thet George's son Os cul carry the ole man an' his load. Chicago News. . ... ' m Mb. Babb, of Iowa, has introduced in the legislature of that state a joint resolution authorizing the governor to invite the governors of all other states and territories to send dele gates to a convention, to be held in Des Moines, to consider the question cf calling together a body of men from all the states to frame a common code of laws on marriage and divorce, with a view to soliciting the concur rence therein of all the states. In short, it is a plan to bring about a treaty between sovereign states upon matters concerning which their laws are now so widely at variance as to cause great friction, fraud and injus tice, and to stimulate crime and wrong-doing, and to lessen the sanctity of the marriage tie. Constitutional amendment will be a slow process, and it will raise the ques tion of centralization and antagonize the radical states' rights sentiment Yet the states, by commissions, can be brought into harmony on this sub ject If not all the states should agree to it, still if any considerable number concur, it will result in time in bringing all into the compact LESS THAN COST !
