Hush!

Hush!

In a certain mining town there was a competition to see who could eat the most. One man won easily. In a short time he ate a pound of sausages, three pies, about a yard of suet pudding, and a large fruit tart. He was loudly feted and, of course, was acclaimed winner, and received the prize.
