FORREST & GEORGE ADAIR. A GENERAL REPLY By MARK TWAIN FAT By CLARA MORRIS SCHOOL BOOKS AND ALL SUPPLIES AT JOHN M. MILLER CO.’S, 39 MARIETTA ST. Juatlce Brewer, In hla talk the other day before tne youth at Yale, dwelt particularly upon the subject of true politeness, 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 his seat to three %yomen." The secretary might have shown a little of that politeness to the young lady who applied recently for a gov ernment place, and who, after passing a very creditable mental examination, was 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 his bulk, but failed, and she simply received a regimen of diet to adopt—something td 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 Is 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 recognizes the charm of fe male plngultude and takes care that It Is properly cultivated, more particu larly, perhaps, with their captives. The latter Is 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 llttlq 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, nnd 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 wo 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 comprehenlsve charity, and a con science void of offerfse, the usual at tributes of the stout. Excessive cor pulence In man or woman has Its in conveniences. It becomes a serious matter when a man, by reason of fat ness, cannot stoop to lace his shoes. I knew of one who was compelled to go downstairs slowly backward, an acro batic feat that you or I, dear reader, wouldn't care to practice, but entirely safe with this gentleman, who, de scending backward, Inclined forward, pulling and blowing even with that lit tle exertion. A man of average build can weigh 200 pounds nnd not be called obese. It may be that such a one Is not quali fied to exhibit himself ns a 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 m» much out of place and as little to be feared as was Enlstnff at GadshlU. And one might go on and argue from this standpoint that corpulence Is 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 was ever convicted of the crime of murder —the average weight of murderers on record Is placed at 165 pounds; be yond that figure there Is seemingly no impulse toward homicide; and stout persons are seldom revengeful. •Few fat house-breakers, or hall thieves, or second-story men are led to the criminal bar. NO, It Is your le^n, wiry fellow, who forces himself through a window sash; that goes on tiptoe through the hallways, and up the stairs, and glides cat-like Into the up per chambers while the family are at dinner. And to conclude this argu ment, what maiden ladv. after her long searches, has ever discovered a fat man under her bed? Truly, Caesar's obser vation was a shrewd one: Let me have men about me that are fat; Sleek-headed men, and such as sleep o* nights. The question Is how to preserve a medial proportion—one that has puz zled the sages In medicine for all time, and given birth to all the anti-fat rem edies. It seems to me that nature, by limiting the number of man's canine teeth, has distinctly Indicated that an imal food ought to form the smallest portion of hts nutriment, and when he gets beyond, to a question of no teeth, whv, there remains porridge or bread and milk—a most excellent nutriment, as was substantiated by the old lady, held up the other day, who had lived, according to her • confession to the fudge, for the last twenty of her 105 rears on the latter. Vegetarians have also their argument io offer In decrying utterly all animal food, but It has always been a ques tion in mv mind whether Nebuchad- nezaris hallucination In the way of pasturage was not promoted by a nat ural Instinct. In mv opinion, a mixed diet is the best, and temperance In both food and drink the one thing to observe. I/ong before 1870. Mark Twain, then the editor o$ a sntait newspaper, wrote the following since famous reply to many of his would-be contributors. To youngsters of the present day It may seem odd that conditions so seemingly np-to-dato pre vailed so many years ago; and Twain may in one of IHs chuckling moments still smile to think that the world bus not changed. Every man who Incomes editor of newspaper or magazine straightway b gins to receive manaserlps from literal, aspirants. together with requests that he will deliver Judgment upon the same; and, after complying In eight or ten Instances, he finally takes refuge in a general sermon on the subject, which he Inserts lu his publication and always afterward refers construct my public sermow. As all letters of the sort I am speaking of contain the very saute matter, differ ently worded, I offer, as a fair average specimen, the last one I hnve received. “Mark Twain, Esq.: Dear Sir—I am _ youth Just out of school nnd ready to start lu life. I hnve looked around, but don't see anything that suits exactly. Is a literary life easy and profitable, or Is It the hard times it Is generally nut up for? It must be easier than a good many If not most of the occupations, and I feel drawn ,to launch out on it, make or break, sink or swim, survive or perisb. Now whnt ure the conditions of success In lit* erature? You need not be afraid to paint the thing Just as It Is. I can't do any worse than fall. Everything else offers the same. When I thought of the law—yes. nnd live or six other professions—I found the same thing was the ease every time, viz., nil full overrun, every profession so crammed that success Is rendered impos sible—too many hands and not enough work. But I must try something, nnd I turn at Inst to literature. Someth tells me that that Is the true l»ent of genius If 1 have any. I Inclose some of my pieces; Will you read hem over and now, I hate to trouble you. but you hnve been a young nmn yourself, ana whnt I want Is for you to get me n newspaper Job of writing to do. " * me know. I can send yon more ns good nnd mnybe better than these. An early reply, etc. Yours, etc." 1 will nuswer you In good faith. Whether my remarks shall have uny great value or not, or my suggestions 1m* worth following, are problems which 1 take great pleasure In leaving entirely to you for solution. To begin: There are several questions In your letter which only n man’s life ex perience can eventually answer for him— not nnother man’s words. 1 will simply skip these. 1. Literature, like the ministry, medicine and the Jaw, nnd nil other occupations. Is cramped nnd hindered for want of men to do the work, not want of work to do. When people tell you the reverse they *- *hnt which Is not true. If you de test this you need only hunt up a first-class editor, reporter, business man ager, foreinnn of a shop, mechanic or artist In any branch of Industry, and try to hire him. You will find that ht Is already hired. He Is sober. Industrious, capable nnd re liable and Is always In demand. He can- get a day's holiday except by courtesy his employer, or of his city, or of the general great public. Ilut If you need Idlers, shirkers, half-instructed, unambi tious nnd comfort-seeking editors, reporters, lawyers, doctors nnd mechanics apply any any opinion whntever as to literary merit of your productions. The public Is the only critic whose judgment Is worth any thing at all. Do not take my poor word for this, but reflect a moment nnd take your own. For Instance, If Hylvnnus Cobb or T. 8. Arthur had submitted their maiden manuscripts to you you would have said, with tears In your eyes, “Now, plcusu 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 Faun" was tiresome, and that even “Paradise I.ost” lacked cheerfulness; but you know how they sell. Man/ wiser nnd potter people th»u you pooh-poohed keapenre even as late as two centuries nnd conscientiously praised It I might thus help to Inflict a lingering and pitiless bore Kin the public: If I honestly nnd cor.- lentlousl.v condemned It I might thus rob the world of a Dickens or a Shake speare. 3. I shrink from hunting up literary labor for you to do and receive pay for. When- your literary productions hnve proved . . themselves that they hnve a rent value you will never have to go nroitnd hunting for remunerative literary work to do. You will require more hntids than you have now, nnd more brains than you —• ••- ever will hnve. to do even hall . ___ work that will Ik* offered you. Now, In order to arrive at the proof of value, here- lubefore spoken of, one needs only to ndopt a very simple nnd certainly very sure process; and that Is to write without pay until somelKKly offer* pay. If noliody offers I my within three years, the candidate may ook u|hmi this circumstance with the most Implicit confidence thnt sawing wood Is want he was intended for. If be has any wisdom nt nil. then he will retire with dlgulty and assume bis benvcn-nppolnted vocation. In the above remarks I have only offered a Course of action which Mr. Dickens nnd most other fuccessfut literary men hnve had to follow; but It Is a course which will find no sympathy with my client, per haps.

The literary plrnnt knows all this, nnd yet be has the hardihood to present hltnsclf for reception Into the literary guild, nnd ask to share Its high honors and emoluments without n single twelve-months’ apprenticeship to show* in excuse for his presumption! He would smile pleasantly If he were askeil to make even so simple a thing n* n ten- cent tin dipper without previous Instruc tion lu the art; but, all green and Ignorant, wordy, pompimsly assertive, i^.grammati cal. with n vague, distorted knowledge of men nnd the world acquired In n back 4-omitry village, he will serenely take up so dangerous n weapon as a pt*ii nml attack the most formidable subject thnt finance, commerce, war or poHQc* can furnish him withal. It would be laughable If It were not so sad nnd pitiable. The poor follow would pot intrude nron the tin sbon with out an apprenticeship, but Is willing to seize and wield with unpractical hand as \\ hen James first came to Paris his whoi. fortune amounted to Just exnctlv one if. dred aud fifty francs.

He tben went out, took a cab for another port of tbs city nnd mailed the cards, addressed to himself In his hotel. When he went back In the afternoon, those postal cards wer« Ivlng on the desk In the office of the hotel nnd It Is hardly necessary to say that the wife of the hotel keeper bad read them. Here Is what they contained; Mr. George James: Dear Sir—At your request I have sold ns well as the seventy horses which art still left, I shall be very pleased to do so. 1 remain, yours very respectfully, VINAIGREK.
