From The San Francisco Chronicle.
Nobody knows his name, yet every
body In Kennewick, Wa»h„ la acquaint
ed with him. "Irish Tim" Is the name
by which he answers when asked to
have 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 glas.s for Tim
has a penchant for eating such delica
cies as beer bottles, tumblers and other
glassy receptacles In which the In
ebriating beverages are dispensed.
Tim is a stalwart fellow, and a veri
table giant, 6 feet 5 inches tall, heavy
In proportion, with great, broaa. 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.
Ho Is perhaps the strongest man In
the West outnlde of n circus, and he at
tributes his marvelous strength to the
fact that he has eaten glass ever since
a small boy In Ireland.
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 and purchase a half dozen glass
tumblers. Then he strolled leisurely
out to the curb of the plank sidewalk,
sat down, opened up the bundle, and
proceeded to devour the glasses much
as a schoolboy devours his noonday
lunch. A good-sized crowd had soon
accumulated, and, of course, everybody
thought nt first that he was working
off a little of Hermann legerdemain.
But Tim sat .there as Indifferent to
their gaze and crltclsms 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 that he had left no scraps and
sauntered Into a nearby saloon In
search of a "chaser." Of course, the
Ivirtender wouldn’t accept payment
from a man who could draw such a
large crowd an Tiin had done, so the
big fellow got his drink for nothing.
But when the fellow behind the bar
cast his eye around for the whisky
gloss, it hsd followed the chaser. Tim
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 1
In the grocery store, there, all they had .
was them big tumblers. Sure, and
they're a bit hard on your gums. but. '
then. I’ve eaten so much glass that 1 :
seldom cut myself.” he ad<Ve«l. smiling.!
"You see, I started In when I was Just 1
a sprawlin’ brat over In the old coun- j
try. I used to stool my mother’s Jelly ;
and Jam, and then eat up the glasses
to make her think somebody had
stolen the whole business.
"Yes, 1 guess that's the way I got
the habit. I recollect, when a kid,
one o’ the boys bet me a piece of money
I 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, und 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. Htrange as It may
sound to some of you fellows, I had a
ravenous appetite the next day, and
