FAT
By CLARA MORRIS
SCHOOL BOOKS
AND ALL SUPPLIES AT
JOHN M. MILLER CO.’S,
39 MARIETTA ST.
Ju.tlc. Brewer, In hi* talk the other
day before tne youth at Tale, dwelt
particularly upon the subject of true
pollteneu, and told by way of argu
ment of a brother alumnus: "Secre
tary Taft la the politest man alive; I
heard that recently he arose In a street
car and gave hla seat to three women.”
The secretary might have shown a
little of that polltene.a to the young
lady who applied recently for a gov
ernment place, and who, after passing
a very creditable mental examination,
waa Informed by the examiners that
she was too fat. Thereupon, we are
Informed, she made a personal plea to
Mr. Taft, hoping to find some sympa
thy in hla bulk, but failed, and she
simply received a regimen of diet to
adopt—something to mar that develop
ing comeliness.
Now, though leanness.may be no ab
solute disadvantage to a man, I con
tend It Is a great disaster for a woman,
for beauty la her life, and beauty con
sists chiefly in the rounded limb and
graceful curve. The most recherche
toilet, the best dressmaker In the
world, cannot supply certain absences
or hide angles. Why, even the savage
Instinct recognises the charm of fe
male plngultude and takes care that
It Is properly cultivated, more particu
larly, perhaps, with their captives. The
latter la such a well known fact that a
religious mother, who, in bidding her
missionary son good-bye, ended her
farewell with this admonishment: "My
dear boy, If your fleshly comeliness
should excite their appetite and they
should eat you, promise me that you
will try and disagree with them.”
True, there are persons who are
destined to be over plump, and this
physical truth has often led me to an
ticipate for some dear little creature,
with rounded arms, dimpled cheeks and
hands, and pert little nose, fresh and
blooming, the admiration of everyone—
when placed In Juxtaposition with her
ripened mother—a foredoom. I cast a
rapid and mental glance through the
next ten or twenty years of her life,
and I behold those charms In another
light, and I sigh Internally. This an
ticipated compassion Is a painful feel
ing and gives one more proof that we
would be very unhappy If we could
foresee the future—yet, on holding
the glass closer, I see also the develop
ing of a warm, motherly heart, the
kindly, benevolent dlsposltoln, the
Oomprehenlsve charity, nnd a con
science void of offense, the usual at
tributes of the stout. Excessive cor
pulence In man or woman has Its In
conveniences. It becomes a serious
matter when n man, by reason of fat
ness, cannot stoop to lace his shoes,
knew of one who was compelled to go
downstairs slowly backwnrd, an acro-
batlc feat that you or I, dear reader,
wouldn’t care to practice, but entirely
safe with this gentleman, who. ’ de
scending backward, Inclined forward,
puffing and blowing even with that lit
tle exertion.
A man of average build can weigh
300 pound, and not be called obese.
It may be that such a one Is not quail*
fled to exhibit himself as n dancer on
a tight rope or to take flying leaps a
la harlequin; nor would I place odds
on him In a long Walk against Weston
—still he has his compensations. As a
burglar he would be as much out of
place and ns little to be feared as wns
Kalstnff at Gndahlll. And one might
go on and argue from this standpoint
that corpulence In the outward sign of
not only a good constitution, but of In
ward rectitude and virtue. For It Is
a notable fact that no fat man

Few fat house-breakers, or hall

ment. what maiden lady, nfter her long
searches, has ever discovered a fat man
under her bed? Truly, Cnetar’s obser
vation was a shrewd one:
Let me have men about me that are

The question Is how to preserve a
medial proportion—one that has pui-
tled the sages In medicine for nil time,

by limiting the number of man’s canine
teeth, has distinctly Indicated that an
imal food ought to form the smallest
pdrtlon of his nutriment, nnd when he
gets beyond, to a question of no teeth,
why. there remains porridge or bread

A GENERAL REPLY
By MARK TWAIN
Long before 1870. Mark Twain, then tbe
editor of a email newspaper, wrote the
following since famous reply to many of
hla would-be contributors. To youngsters
of the present day It may seem odd that
rotulltloua jw> seemingly up-to-date pre
vailed so many years a go; nud Twain tuny
In one of his chuckling moments still smile
to think that the world has uot changed.
Every tnan who becomes editor of a
newspaper or inagaslne straightway be
gins to receive manuscrlps from literary
aspirants, together with requests that he
will deliver Judgment upon the same; and.
after complying In eight or ten Instances,
hi* finally takes refuge lu a general sermou
on the subject, which he inserts In his
publication and always afterward refers
such correspondents to that sermon for
answer. I have at last reached this sta
tion in my literal? career nnd proceed to
construct my public sermon.
As all letters of the sort I am speaking
of contain the very same matter, differ
ently worded, I offer, as n fair average
specimen, the Inst one I have received.
“Mark Twolu, Esq.: Dear Hlr—I am a
youth Just out of school and ready to
•tart In life. I have looked nround, but
don’t see anything that suits exactly. Is
a literary life easy and profitable, or Is
It the hard times It Is generally put up

drawn to launch out on It, make or break.

give me your candid opinion of them? And

I will answer yon In good faith. Whether

He first bought himself an elegant travel.

2. No; I must not nnd will not venture
any opinion whatever ns to literary merit
of your productions. The public Is tbe
only critic whose Judgment Is worth any
thing at. all. Do not take my poor word
for this, but reflect a moment nud take
your own. For Instance, If Sylvnnus Cobb
or T. 8. Arthur had submitted their maiden
manuscripts to you yon would hnve said,
with tears In your eye*. “Now, please
don’t write any more!” But you see your
self how popular they are. And If It had
been left to you you would have said the
“Marble Fann” waa tiresome, and that
even “Paradise leant" lacked cheerfulneaa;
but you know bow they sell. Many wiser
and better people ft****» you pooh-poohed

ago, but still that olu party has outlived
those people. No. 1 will not sit In Judg

til's'll iiir- |,ui'iivj If I honestly nnd »«*••-
sclent lously condemned It I might thus
rob tbe world of a Dickens or a Shake-
•pen re.
3. I shrink from hunting up literary labor
for you to do and receive pay for. When
ever your literary productions have proved
for themselves that they hnve a real value
you will never hnve to go around huiitlug
for remunerative literary work to do. You
will require more hands than you hnve
now, and more brains than you probably
ever will have, to do even half of the
work that will be offered you. Now, In
order to arrive nt the proof of value, here-
Inlicfnre spoken of, one needs only to adopt
n very simple nnd certainly very sure
process; nnd that Is to write without pay
until sonielHidy offers pay. If nobody offers
pay within three years, the candidate may
look ti|M)ii this circumstance with the most
Implicit confidence that sawing wood la
wluit he wns Intended for. If he has any
wisdom at nil. then lie will retire wit**
dignity aud assume his heaven-uppoliifed
vocation.
Ill the nlmve remarks I have only offered
A course of notion which Mr. Dickens nnd
moat other successful literary nieu have
had to follow; but It Is a course which
will find no sympathy with my client, per
haps. The young literary aspirant Is n
very, very curious creature. He kuowe
that If he wished to become n tinner the
master smith would require him to prove
ssession of n good olioracter. and
require him to promise to stay In
op three years— possibly four—and
make him sweep out and briug
water and build tiros all the first year, nnd
let him learn to black stoves In the Inter
vals; nnd for them* good, honest services
would pay him two suits of cheap clothes
iioiiiiU- ins• nuu mu uuiinrs huiiiu m
- bled the third year and three tbe fourth,
and then. If he had become n first rate tin
ner, he would get about fifteen or twenty,
may lie. thirty dollars a week, with never
possibility of getting seventy-five while
he lived. If he wunted to become n me-
‘ ihlc of anv other kind he would have
undergo this same tedious. Ill-paid ap
prenticeship. If he wanted to liecoiue a
lawyer or doctor he would have fifty
times worse, for he would get nothing nt
alt during his long apprenticeship, and In
addition would have to pay a (urge sum
for tuition, nud hnve the privilege or (man!-
lug and clothing hliuself. The literary as
pirant knows all this, and yet he has the
hardihood to present himself for reception
Into the literary guild, and ask to share
Its high honors nnd emoluments without
ft single twelve-mouths’ apprenticeship to
show In excuse for Ills presumption! He
would smile pleasantly If he were asked
to make even so simple a thing as a ten*
cent tin dipper without previous Instruc-
*’ m In the art; but, all green and Ignorant,

withal. It would lie laughable If It weru

himself In bis hotel. When he went hark
In the afternoon, those poatal cards sere

wife of the hotel keeper had rend them.
Here la what they contained:
Mr. George James:

FREDEGUNDE DB BRUNEJAULT.
One afternoon James came Into tbe aboo
of his tailor. He aeemed to be In quite a
hurry and Immediately asked for M. Duval
to whom he said: ,T My dear Duval, aro
rou able to oblige me with a thouaand
francs? At 5 o’clock I will return It to
you, nnd I shall be exceedingly oblige)
thnt you lmve aared me tbe trouble of
going to the bnnk.”
Now there ore things which one should
never say to people wno are Buffering with
catarrh of tbe atomacb. The face of ton
good Duval turned a sickly grey, bat bo
reasoned that he waa already. In for It,
having delivered suite to tbe value of three
thousand franca to this customer. If ba
now refused to lend him the one thousand
francs, he thereby confessed to himself
thnt he had given credit foolishly and to
admit that to himself would, affect
hla digestion, so he preferred tt> lend V.
James the thousand franca, without an;
•how of enthusiasm, however.
James returns to bis hotel. He walks
un to the counter and asks with hla. uaaal
pleasant manner: “Are there any letters
for me, Madame Tlbere?” . . ,
Then he tnkes out hla pocket book and
