/ BIGGEST MAN INTHE WORL ~ NOW IN TOW Edward Beaupre, Beside Whom Even Other Giants Look Small, Pays His First Visit to New York, Where He Has Some Funny Adventures. IS 8 FEET 2 INCHES TALL AND BUILT IN PROPORTION. Has Foot 22 Inches Long, Wears No. 10 Hat and Possesses Great Strength, but Is as Kind and Gentle as He Is Big. The terest man in the world is now fn New York, Ho la Edward Beaupre, & French-Canadian from the Northwest Territory. te fs taking his meals sit- ting sideways at a table. for his legs are too long to put under he conven- tional fashion, and he ping diagon- ally across a bed with chalrs under his lege and feet, in the Vanderbilt Hotel, Forty-second street and Lexington aye- nue, where ho and a travelling compan- fon are quartered. There {sno doubt that this young man of twenty-tw» is the test giant liv- ing. He ts 8 feet 2 inches In height and Weighs 367 pounds. He knows the pro- portions of all other giants in exist ence, and the human being next to him in rize is a Frenchman, who stands 7 feet ® Inches. 1 Strong and Kind as He Is Big. When Beaupre larrled at the Grand Central Station there was a commotion. Women screamed and little children clung to their mothers crv¥ing to Ve saved from the “bogie man.” If the Mttle ones had only known what a splendid, good-hearted fellow is this giant of the Far West they would not have run from him, His nature !s as great and kind as his proportions are big. He never had a quarrel in his life because no one would ever think of quarreliing with him, He admits modestly that he has lifted a horse welghing 950 pounds as high as his head. He can pick up a man like George Gardner, the champion light-heavy- weight, in one hand and dangle him in the alr without taking a deep breath. Only to-day one of the bellboys at the Vanderbilt was so take up with ad- miration of the giant that he failed to hear an order that was given to hima| The said bellboy welghs 145 pounds, and Beaupre, catching him with his right hand where the lad's clothes were slack, [the flty. Ifted the youngster and pressed him against the ceiling. The boy was too seared to give more than one yell as he felt himself rising, but when he struck the floor again he took to hie heels and the last seen of him he was going through the front door of the Vanderbilt bareheaded and with his hair on end. He didn't look as if he intended ever to stop,running. No ‘(Hand-Me-Downa”? for Him. ‘The most wonderful thing about this giant Is his clothing. “it takee thirteen yards of cloth to make me a comfortable sult,” he tuld an Evening Work! reporter. “Ever thing I wear has to be made to order— shoes, hats, shirts, collars, cuffs, under- wear, overything Beaupre’s shoes are twenty-two inches from heel to toe, his collar twenty-ouc juches, his hat is a No. lv. “1 am only twenty-two,” sald the giant, “aud I know I am still growing I began to grow when I was three years of age and I have been at it ever ai i . 1 grow any taller, i don't thithave made tree and a quar: wr inches in the past two years. 1 am filing out around the chest and getting Hea you know youle the only man that has shown on ow looks as if he might lick Jeffries?’ « io want oe wouldn't Nek Jeftries. about it 1 A He is tou fine a fellow.’ Only an Ordinary Eater. jays he does not eat\any ore than an ordinary man and’ the re people of the hotel corroborate this Statement and they ought to know. “How do 1 sleep?” replied the giant laughingly. ‘“L have had some funny ete sin] my me, getting around put I usually'manage to sleep hotels. the bed and put two chairs to- gether at epee Av RCIA Be ay sar feet, Some sa gmaller | th ers and when this fuse 7 ice the bed ciothes together and th fe th woft side of the floor.
