FAMOUS FOR FAT.

The fume of Daniel Lambert ao a
ehuinplon among fat men in longland,
If not tu the world, stIU ream tm un
rivaled. Daniel was horn at Leicester
lu 1770 and died In 1800. at Stamford.
The grandson of a celebrated cock*
lighter and addicted to snort through*
out lits life, hts dimension? were m#l
extraordinary, and lils habits were liol
different from thoBe of other lads un
til ho was fourteen years old, When
twenty-three years of age, however, he
turned the seale at thirty-two ?tone,
and, although li? ls recorded to have
boen thou able to walk from Woolw iel
to London, at the time of his doiifch, li.
ids fortieth year, he lind attained tin
prodigious wolghjt of fifty-two stone, or
728 pounds, and was moro or loss help
loss. Hi was a modest man, and when
ho had achieved physical greatness
fame wne thrust upon him. Ho was
for a long time unwilling to be made
a ?how of, but lie gained a moro t li ii ii
local reputation, and people traveled
from far to see him, resorting to vari
ous devices in order to be allowed to
do so. At length the prospect of profit
overcame ids resolution, and for four
years before his death lie exhibited
himself in London and in the prov
inces.
Ho was apparently a man of some
Wit, for once, before lie permitted the
public to gaze upon him, un inquisitive
person had gained access to lils pres
ence hy pretending to be n fellow
sportsman interested in thc pedigree of
a mare, whereupon Lambert promptly
replied, "She was bred by Impertinence
out of Curiosity." Ilefoi'o thc days of
Daniel Lambert, Edward bright of
Malden was a well known fat man, al
though his name no longer lingers as
a household word. Ile died in 1750 at
the age of thirty years, weighing forty
two stone and seven pounds, und ls
stated to have been un activo man till
a year or two before lils death, when
his corpulency so overpowered lits
strength that his life was u burden and
hts deutti a deliverance, Roth Height
and Lambert seem to have been genial,
good humored fellows and very popular
among those who visited then?. In
deed popularity seems to be the lot of
the corpulent In fact as well as In no
tion. Tile heroes of iictlon, however,
have tlie ndvantage lu the matter of
lasting glory, and the names of Daniel
Lambert and the fat boy of Peckham
sink into Insignificance beside those of
Falstaff und the fut boy In "Pickwick."

Condition Powders
Makes poor horses and mules fat without bloating. It
does this by first thoroughly cleansing the system o.'
all impurities, allowing perfect assimilation of food,
thereby creating solid muscle and fat.
Horses and mules improve in appetite and spirits
after the first few doses, the hair sheds, and the new
coat is always sleek and glossy.
Asher af t's Condition Powders are packed in doses,
without "filler," and good for horses and mules only.
It is a most powerful tonic and appetizer, being the
formulai of a practical veterinarian of over a emarter of a century's
experience. It is easily the foremost remedy in its class on the
American market to-day. Price 25 cents package.
