1* first fastened to the gtaa,a tor Tim
hn* u penchant for catlnar «uch delica
cies n* beer bottles, tumbler* and other
glassy receptacle* In which • the In
ebriating beverage* are dispensed.
Tim Is o stalwart fellow, and a veri
table giant, 6 feet 5 inches tall, heavy
In proportion, with great, broad, pow
erful shoulder* that look a* though
they could furnfnh a force sufficient to
put several Jim Jeffries out of busi
ness without the least exertion.
Tim only wears a No. 14 shoe, spe
cially made to order, and has a-hand
big enough to cover on ordinary saucer.
He Is perhaps the strongest man In
the West outside of a circus, and he at
tributes his marvelous strength to the
fact thnt he has eaten glass ever since
a small boy in Ireland.
When Irish Tim made his appearance
In Kennewick he caused the natives
to Imnglne suddenly that they had all
gone crazy, and were "seeln* things.”
The first extraordinary thing the big
fellow did was to go Into a grocery
store and purchase a half dozen glass
tumblers. Then he strolled leisurely
out to the curb of the nlank sidewalk,
sat down, opened up tne bundle, and
proceeded to devour the glasses much
as a Schoolboy devours his noonday
lunch. A good-slzcd crowd had soon
accumulated, and. of course, everybody
thought ut ilrst that he was working
off a little of Hermann legerdemain.
But Tim sat there as Indifferent to
their goat* and crltcUm* ns an as-
tronomer to the maneuver* of an ont
colony. When he had devoured the
last of the six tumblers lie arose slow
ly, smacked his Ups, looked around |o
see that he had left no scraps and
sauntered Into a nearby saloon Jn
search of a' "chaser." Of course, the
bartender wouldn't accept payment
from a man who could draw such a
large crowd as Tim had done, so the
big fellow got his drink for nothing.
But when the fellow behlnjl the bar
cast his eye around for the whisky
glass. It had followed the chaser. Tim I
wa« cracking up the last bit of it be- {
tween his teeth, and swallowing It In
morsels that were evidently sweet. I
"That’s the kfnd of glass," said Tim. ;
“that makes me think of home. Over !

they're a bit hard on your gums. but. I

one o* the boys bet me a piece of money
I couldn't eat a chunk o* glass, so I bet
him on It. I ate a very small piece,
and chewed It up carefully. Glass Is
not hard stuff, and Is easily ground
between the teeth If one Is not afraid
of It. Well, I won that bet. anyway,
and for twenty-four hour* awaited the
results anxiously. Strange as It may
sound to some of you fellows, 1 had a
