REMARKABLE MAN EAT8 FIVE
HUNDRED POUNDS OF GLASS.
From The 8an Frnnclaco Chronicle.
Nobody known his name, yet every
body In Kennewick, Wash., Is acquaint
ed with him. "Irish Tim" I# the name
by which he answers when asked to
hnvc a drink: but there are few bar
tenders In Kennewick who will now
consent to serve him unless a chain
Is first fastened to the glaa.s for Tim
hns n penchant for eating such delica
cies as beer bottles, tumblers and other
glassy receptacles In which the In
ebriating beverages are dispensed.
Tim Is n stalwart fellow, and a veri
table giant, 8 feet 5 Inches tall, heavy
in proportion, with great, broaj, pow
erful shoulders that look as though
they could furnish 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 an ordinary saucer.
He Is perhaps the strongest man In
the West outside of a circus, and he at
tributes bis marvelous strength to the
fact thnt he has eaten glass ever since
u small boy In Irelnnd.
When Irish Tim made his appearance
In Kennewick he caused the natives
to Imagine 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 nnd purchase a half doxen glass
tumblers. Then he strolled leisurely
out to the curb of the plank sidewalk,
sat dotVn. opened up the bundle, and
proceeded to devour the glasses much
ns a schoolboy devours his noonday
lunch. A good-sized crowd had soon
accumulated, and. of course, everybody
thought ifct first that be was working
off n little of Hermann legerdemain.
Hut Tim sat there us Indifferent to
their gaze and erltclsms as an as
tronomer to the maneuvers of an ant
colony. When he had devoured the
last of the six tumblers he arose slow
ly, smacked his lips, looked around to
see thst he had left no scraps and
sauntered Into a nearby saloon in
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 behind the bar I
cast his eye around for the whisky
glass. It had followed the chaser. Tim I
was cracking up the last bit of it be
tween his teeth, and swallowing It In
morsels that were evidently sweet.
"That’s the kind of glass," said Tim.
"that makes me think of home. Over
In the grocery store, there, all they had
was them big tumblers. Sure, snd
they're a bit hard on your gums. but.
then. I've eaten so much glass that I !
seldom cut myself" he added, smiling.!
"You see, I started In when I was Just ‘
a sprawlin’ brat over In the old coun- j
try. I used to steal my mother’s Jelly !
and Jam. and then eat up the glasses
to make her think somebody had
stolen the whole business.
"Yea I guess that's the way 1 got
the habit. I recollect, when a kid,
r.e o' the boys bet me a piece of money
couldn’t eat a chunk o* glass, so I bet
him on It. 1 ate a very small piece,
and chewed It up carefully. Glass Is
not hard stuff, nnd Is easily ground
between the teeth If one Is not afraid
of It. Well, I won that Bet. anyway,
and for twenty-four hours awaited the
results anxiously. Strange as It may
sound to some of you fellows, I had a
ravenous appetite the next day, and
found myself anxious to repeat the ex
periment. So, after a while, I ate an-
