One of the stoutest men in New England some time air A was Squire Ball, who wei hed about jOO p >unds. The squire had one pecul iarity, and that was a remarkable thirst, of a still larger proportion than .is body. He could not pass a pump, well or spring without stop ping and partaking copiously. Once waen out driving in his buggy, he m ta country friend opposite a well w .ere teams were accustomed t > stop for water. His friend, at his request. Ailed a rather dilapidated bucket, w Ich stool at hand, and passed it up to him. The searns of the bucket were a little leaky, but tlie squire was very thirsty, so he took it eagerly and set to work drinking. As pint af er pint of tile liquid disappeared the fnen 1 stared ooen eyed, but still the squire drank on until, with a hearty sigh of satisfaction, be han ed it back em ty. Thu f send, who either thought that a man who could and, ink sucu an lmmens-amo int at one time must nave a i unlimited capacity or lse misinterpreted the sigh, said urgently; "Have ’notner pai.ful, squire? You didn’t git more’n half on't into yer.” It was this inordinate size of body and thirst that came near ending S- 1 uire Ball s life in a very sad fashion. Ouce, wuen out fishing with a eighbor, he lay down on the hank of the stream to drink. Tue pitch of the b ink added to the perfect rotundity of the squire's figure m vie such a position a trifis dangerous, and wnen he bent over to drink, tue change in the center of gravity threw nlm into tue stream. The peculia-ity of the accident made his com p nion laugh, and the more the squire -trug ged the funner he looked and hii friend only laughed the more, until final y the squire grew so tired with his struggles, and tne friend so weak fro n laughter, that It wa only with difficulty that the former was rescued.
