The most curious problem that ever confronted the legal authorities of the United States was that of moving Betsy Mullins, weight '580 pounds. They gave it up, but the task which could not he performed for the en- forcement of the law was undertaken in order that Betsy might attend a dance. Mrs. Mullins belongs the race of Ten- nessee mountaineers, and lives on the top of \Valden’s Ridge, in Hancock county. Her occupation is that of sell- ing moonshine _.whiskcy. It furnished her with a livelihood for twenty years. She enjoys absolutely unique advan- tages for engaging in this nefarious traffic. In the first place, her but among the mountains is four miles from any other heuse, and is reached only by a winding and treacheious path.

It required the efforts of six strong men to get her as far as the door, and then it was discovered that she could not go through. . She was too large for that.

It is several years since Betsy grew too large to get through the door. She has lived hitherto contentcdly in her little but, with a big chair and a big Jug, but recently a desire for social re— laxa tion awoke in her. She said she would lik c to attend a large dance which was to be given at Snccdville, a village six miles from her mountain home. Obviously, it was no light mat- ter to move Betsy Mullins. Her MO‘E A W 'CMAN. neighbors built a sort of railway to facilitate her progress down the moun- tain. The side of Betsy’s house was taken out, she waddled, with assist- ance, to the specially constructed car, in which she was loaded. Then with a very stout cable and a windlass, worked by strong hands, she was low- cred down the mountain and on to the dance.——New York Journal. METROPOLITAN STAGE JOKES.
