B? BIG FEAST
Mayo, Dec. 18.—The town of Ma
yo recently was the scene of an un
ique flutertaanmeiit. A banquet was
given by Coleman Snell to celebrate
the completion of an absolute fast
o'" tventy-five days' duration. Sev
enty-'ive guests sat down to one of
the most delicious feasts ever par
taken of in Mayo. After everyone
had satisfied himself witli tlie good
things so sumptuously provided, Mr.
Snell arose and gave a sliort, but
Tery instructive, address on the ben
efits to be derwed from fastign. Al
I ludin? to liis own Derfo'rinance, ne
said ha made 110 claim to be the
A<ara*on faster of his day, but lie
confidfntly believed that he was the
only person, wlio ever abstained from
all nourishment lor twenty-live uays
and cut twenty cords of four-foot
cordvood during tlit period. Ho
uerformed eight hours of hard Eian
ual label- duriiifr twenty days of his
fas'. Air. Snell, before coming to
♦he Yukon in '97, was a well known
pro.fesor o£ >> hreiuLogv, and one of
the most popular platform speakers
in the United States, and his ad
dress claimed the undivided atten
tion of his guests and evidently ad
ded many converts to his philosophy
Some of our most prominent citizens
who 'were among his guests and
•here'ofore were faithful followers of
EDicurus, are now contemplating
fasts that will equal or even sur
pass that of their accomplished
■host, ' I i .. ,j r i ]
