the tallest man in the world was, married out West the other day to a Dutch girl whom he had_ known ~nt home. lady is not a freak and that the match is of that kind which nearly nil royal marriages and alliance; bet-ween titles and money were sup posed to he, namely. "a true love match." When freaks choose part- ners for business reasons, unless they select their managers, they choose other freaks. Freaks have not much home life. They spend their time on exhibition and the-re-

it seems reasonable for them to marry in ther own class. There is o a chance that combined they will earn more than their earnings singly. Thus we should expect the champion living skeleton and the uhamplon fat lady to prove a stronger drawing card, if tihe fact of their romance were gently whis- pered by the ‘ballyboo man, and if the subjects were willing to offer occasional evidence that he spoke with authority.

The Freak Mlqnate.

Almost as strange as the freaks ls the occupation of rounding up freaks. An American named Salm- uel W. Gumpertz is said to have practical control of the freak mar- ket on tibls continent and ln Eu- rope. Mr. Gurnpertz has made a fortune oilt of his ability to read aright the tpublic taste in freaks. He has agents in ‘Europe who re- po_rt to him the appearance of any

People, as a rule. do inot go back to see a freak time after time as iilley used to go to Chu Chin Chow. One ses- sion is usually enough. Tbeli freaks have to fly round the country to keep lir touch of the crowds. From the Toronto Midway they may go to an Elks’ Carnival in Wisconsin or to an Old Home Week in Ala- heme.

What ll it?

Mr. Gurnpertz says that the best- known freak ln the countny and the

now almost defunct party. Tiierc ls only one real political democracy in Canada. in wbcb flunkeylsm a-ud blue blooded toadylsm is at an exorbitant discount. and where the pride a-lid llpplshness of Liberal Tonyism has no abiding place. and that ls in the National and Liberal-

in a period of about ten years Caruso- recelved approximately 81.- 500300 in royalties from the sales of phonograph records of his sup eltlrslnging. People with a proper appreciation of music and of its influence on humankind will not regard this an excessive taking. Even subscribers to the standards of popular perverted philosophy mhy not bold another opinion. They will say. perhaps. ‘that music and other forms of artistry through which people are made familiar with the beautiful and so led to ap- preciate and aspire to possess those liner qualities which we call spirit- ual are necessary to man's exist- ence. lvllerefore we need-riot bother about profits anyone makes out of them. when. such people are con_- cerned about is preventing men who contribute most to the convenience bud comfort, to the very existence of civilization. from reaping the lust rewards of their natural gifts and enterprise. The argument does not bold. Without disparaging Car- uso or other artists of comparable gifts just people will not attempt to deny that the greatest benefact- ors of mankind are tbose who pro- vide the lndlspensahles lo modern standards of living or that these are entitled to all the profits that they can make put of thel-r work's. ll. is just disclosed that last year the estate of ‘Samuel L. Clemens received $84,000 royalties on sub- scription sales of Mark Twain books. lf such profits are defens- lble,.and they need no defense, is the manufacturer. the railroad builder or any other contributor to the pillllic welfare less entitled to his profits? None get that do not give. ' - -

Hie-ls described as all affectionate and obedient old creature who ra- tber enjoys being stared at by some hundreds of thousands of persons each war.

Bright and Cheerful.

Mr: Gumpertr. says that his long experience wllili freaks has im- pressed llini witll the fact that. they are. as a rule, bright and cheerful lll disposition and capable ‘of illi- ilsual aflectlon for each other. though one iwoilld suppose that having been brought into the world misshapen would sour their disposi- tions. They like people in the audi- ence to talk to them. and often their value depends to a great extent upon their alblllty to carry on a stream of lbanter with those who stop for a chat. Tibcy do not, how- ever, like to be sympatliized with. On the contrary. most of them e rather vain of whatever deform y makes. them remarkable. While they are, as they are not wit-llout tlbe profes- sional jealousies.

There are also other freaks. quite as amazing as any before the public. which cannot be shown be- Icause to do so would be revolting or indelicate. ‘libese freaks are usually lnspec ed by medical con- gresses.
