Tall Men in One Family.

There was a reunion of the Coleman family at Tionesta, Pa., one day last week. Harmon Coleman and his wife are the father and mother, and are of only ordinary stature. But their sons are extraordinarily big men. J. F. is 6 feet 5 inches; Henry, 6 feet 2 inches; William, 6 feet 3 inches; J. E., 6 feet 5 inches; S. W., 6 feet 3 inches; and Frank, the short one of the stalwart family, an exact 6 feet. These meastirements were all taken in stocking feet. The total height of the whole sextet collectively is 37 feet 4 inches.
