TALL TALES S 3 As Told to: FRANK E. HAGAN and ELMO SCOTT W ATSON Pat Scanlan’s Triple Play THE grandfather of James E. McGrath of Evanston, 111., was T. D. Scanlan, one of the pioneers who laid the first transatlantic cable out of Hearts Content, Newfoundland. He was also the father of Jim’s uncle, Patrick Scanlan. Pat Scanlan, and now we’re getting down to cases, was one of the most powerful swimmers and fishermen Canada or New England has seen. Often he plunged Into lakes and swam them with a surveyor’s chain in his mouth. And while doing this, Pat always had time to select the likeliest fishing pools. His finest fishing is family history, handed down to Jim McGrath. It happened in upper New York state and Jim is positive it’s true because Pat yelled so loudly it shook the McGrath house, down in Brooklyn. You see. Pat was fishing in this lake he had seen while nibbling a surveying chain. It was near dusk and he was casting three hooks near the shore for fish lie sometimes in shallow water when it’s getting dark. Pat cast and hooked a trout. He played the fish a short time, then gave a determined jerk to establish who was boss. As Pat jerked he snared a muskrat on the second hook. That was too much so he whooped and threw the double catch high in air, casting trout, muskrat and line back toward the water with a mighty “swoosh.” And when Pat heaved the line toward the water he caught a humming bird on the third hook. He always claimed it was the only unassisted triple play of that particular season. The End of the Philly-Loo IT IS a well known fact that the phil--1 ly-100 bird is extinct but accounts of the death of the last survivor vary. Larry Flint, a Pennsylvania newspaper man says he saw the tragedy while visiting in Wyoming. “The philly-100 was ferociously fond of the holes in doughnuts. His method of i.iting them ivas unique; he backed up to them, slipped his tail through them, then flicked the appendage around in front and fed himself. “An old timer out there, knowing of this peculiarity, sought out the last surviving philly-100 and laid several doughnut holes down in front of the bird. In order to eat the hole, the philly-100 had to move his tail around into the proper juxtaposition. This brought about his end.” But F. F. F’uller of the Rhame (N. D.) Review has another version of the story. He says that he and another editor had the job of hunting down the last survivors of the race to serve at a banquet for some visiting newspaper men. Near a mountain in the Bad Lands they flushed a covey of the birds and started chasing them. “The phllly-loos began circling the mountains,” relates Mr. F’uller. “As they did so each bird grabbed the tail of the bird ahead and as they mounted upward and the circle narrowed, they swallowed to take up the slack. They kept circling and swallowing until each bird had completely swallowed the bird ahead, and they entirely disappeared from before our eyes. All that is left are a few tracks circling the mountain that look just like those made by an automobile driven by a one-armed driver. I’ve never seen a philly 100 bird since that time.” Winner by a Nose LOTS Os fellows who work In a metropolis were born in the great open spaces, and invariably they retain their hankering for the hinterlands. Lewis W. Hunt, city editor of the Chicago Daily News, is no exception. And sometimes when the boys are having a chinning match he is unable to conceal his liking for the bad lands of Montana from whence he came. So when a party from Kansas asserted that in his country it became so dry it was necessary to run water from the well through a wringer, and to throw gravel on the barn to delude the cows into thinking rain was falling, so they’d come ont, Luke asserted himself. “It’s cold we relish in Montana,” declaimed Hunt. “One winter in my home town the mercury sank so low that boiling hot coffee froze in a solid stream en route from pot to cup. “And that was the year,” he concluded, “that the man in our town with the longest nose froze his proboscis. A friend recommended the only possible relief would be to rub snow on it. The long-nosed man rubbed snow on the part of his nose he could reach and threw snow-balls at the rest. In nine days he was entirely recovered.” © Western Newspaper Union. Insane Monarchs Europe had more insane monarchs In power during the last half of the Eighteenth century than in any other similar period In its history. During this time nine of them mounted the thrones of seven countries. An interesting one was Abdul Hamid I, who reigned over Turkey from 1773 to 1759. writes Alan B. Cox. New York city, in Collier’s Weekly. Before he was made sultan. Abdul had been locked in a cage for 43 years. Levitation The word levitation is defined as the phenomenon or illusion of maintaining or moving heavy objects, as the human body, in the air without support; also the subjective Illusion of arising into or moving through the air without support, as in dreams. The art or science of levitation goes back into the mists of history. The tradition is ancient and, even today, widespread. In the puranas of Mother India there is a precise Sankrit equivalent for levitation. This is laghiman, from laghu (light).
