"Yankee Dan," "Boozer," "Texas Dan," and "Old Nelly" are specimens. The latter was a strange character. He was seventy years of age, but was as active as a cat and as strong as a buffalo. He was, except Sandow, probably the strongest man I have ever seen. Bred from a navvy stock, Old Nelly had wandered over the world for many years, from one mining camp to another.
What as a matter of common-sense it clearly has not a right to do is to make this an excuse for keeping the child slaving for ten hours at physical exercises on the ground that it is not yet as dexterous as Cinquevalli and as strong as Sandow. The Rewards and Risks of Knowledge
But he hastily swung it back into place and went on. "Also, most liege lady-in-waiting, our noble Sand Witch, we greet thee. And we greet our Grand Sandjandrum, and our noble Sandow, and our beloved Sand Crab. We greet all, and everybody. Did I leave anybody out of this greeting?" "No! No!" "All right; then I'll fire away.
'It's really rather wonderful, Edith, what that Sandow exerciser has done for me! You laughed at me at first, but I've improved marvellously. Bruce was walking about doing very mild gymnastics, and occasionally hitting himself on the left arm with the right fist. Look at my muscle look at it and all in such a short time! 'Wonderful! said Edith.
It sways a bit, but it's firmly anchored. I looked out for that, before I trusted you to this ramshackle old hay wagon!" Patty smiled back, really helped by his hearty sympathy and strong, ringing voice. "I HATE to be so, so unable to stand things!" she exclaimed, pouting a little. "You're no Sandow girl," he replied; "but one can't expect an apple blossom to be as strong as a a cabbage!"
"I guess that it can't be done," Christabel said, drawlingly. "See, stranger?" Reginald Henson fairly gasped. As he turned round the ludicrous mixture of cunning and confusion, anger and vexatious alarm on his face caused the girl to smile. "I I beg your pardon," he stammered. "I said it can't be done," the girl drawled, coolly. "Sandow couldn't do it.
He might, of course, have had it done in a shoe-store with a boot stretcher, but after all it cost him nothing this way, and what is half an hour? After he had got his undershirt on, Jiggins used to hitch himself up like a dog in harness and do Sandow exercises. He did them forwards, backwards, and hind-side up. He could have got a job as a dog anywhere.
Neither Nimrod nor Sandow has anything on me. I carry the peanuts on a knife, a silver knife. The peanuts are animated by the devil. I carry the peanuts with grace and celerity and in quantity. The peanut never sprouted that can best me. "The peanuts roll. The peanuts roll. Like Atlas who holds the world, I never let them fall. Not every one can carry peanuts. I am God-gifted.
Long may she wave, long may she wag! And may our Sand Club ever stand A glory to our Native Land." Tom persisted in singing "a glory to our native sand," and King said strand, but after all, it didn't matter. Then Sandow, bearing the flag, stepped gravely forward, and the boys all helped to plant it firmly in the middle of Sand Court, while the Queen and her lady-in-waiting nodded approval.
H. Pennock, in New York, 1870, put up a 10-pound dumb-bell 8431 times in four hours thirty-four minutes; by using both hands to raise it to the shoulder, and then using one hand alone, R. A. Pennell, in New York, January 31, 1874, managed to put up a bell weighing 201 pounds 5 ounces; and Eugene Sandow, at London, February 11, 1891, surpassed this feat with a 250-pound bell.
