SAVANNAH. GA.. SUNDAY, DECEMBER 4. 1904'
"I see th’ good woman go in’ by here
at a gallop to-day," said Mr. Dooley.
"She’s thryin' to rayjooce her
weight,” said Mr. Hennesssy.
“What f’r?”
“I don't know. She looks all right,”
said Mr. Hennessey.
“Well,” said Mr. Dooley, “it is a
sthrange thing. Near lvrybody X know
is thryin’ to rajooce his weight. Why
shud a woman want to be thin onless
she Is thin? Th’ idee iv female beauty
that all gr-reat men fr’m Julius Oaesar
to mesilf has held, is much more like
a bar’l 'thin a clothes pole. Hogan
tells me that Alexander’s wife an’
Caesar’s missus was no lightweights;
Martha Wash'nton was short, but
pleasantly dumpy, an’ Andhrew Jack
son's good woman weighed two hun
dherd an’ smoked a pipe. Hogan says
that all th’ potes he knows was In
love with not to say fat but ample
ladies. Th’ potes thlmsilves was thin,
but t'h* ladies was chubby. A pote
whin he has wurruked all day at th'
typewriter wants to rest his head on
a shoulder that won’t hurt. Shakes
peare’s wife was thin an’ they quar
reled. Th’ lady that th’ Ryetalian
pote Danty made a fool iv himsilf
about was no skiliton. All th’ pitch
ers iv beautiful women I've iver see
had manny curves an' sivral chins.
Th’ phottygraft iv Mary Queen iv
Scots that I have in me room shows
that she took on weight afther she
had her dhress made. Th’ collar looks
to be chokin’ her.
“But nowadays, ’tis th' fashion to
thry to emaciate ye'ersilf. I et sup
per with Oarney th' other day. It was
th’ will iv hiven that Carney shud
grow fat, but Carney has a will iv
his own, an’ f’r tin years he’s been
thryin’ to look like Sinitor Fairbanks
whin his thrue model was Grover
Cleveland. He used to scald himsilf
ivry mornin' with a quart iv hot wa
ther on gettin’ up. That did him no
good. Thin he thried takin’ long walks.
Th’ long walk rayjooced him half a
pound and gave him a thirst that made
him take on four pounds iv Boodwels
er. Thin he rented a horse and thried
horseback ridin’. Th' horse liked his
weight no more thin Carney did an’
Carney gained tin pounds in th’ hos
pital. He thried starvin’ himsilf an’
he lost two pounds an’ his job f’r bein’
cross to th’ boss. Thin he raysumed
his reg’lar meals an’ made up his mind
to cut out th’ sugar. I see him at
breakfast wan mornin’. Nature had
been kind to Carney in th’ matter iv
appytite. I won’t tell ye what he con
sumed. It’s too soon afther supper
an' th’ room is close, But, annyhow,
whin his wife had tottered in with th'
last flap-jack an’ fainted, an’ whin I
begun to wondher whether it wud be
safe to stay, he hauled a little bottle
fr’m his pocket an’ took out a small
pill. 'What’s that?’ says I. ‘ 'Tis what
I take in place iv sugar,’ says he.
‘Sugar is fattenin’ an’ this rajooces th'
weight,’ says he. ’An' ar-re ye goln’
to match that poor little tablet
against that breakfast?’ says I. ’I am,’
says he. ‘Cow’rd,’ says I.
“The latest thing that Carney has
took up to make th’ fight again’ nature
is called Fletching. Did ye Iver hear
iv it? Well, they’se a lad be th’ name
iv Fletcher who thinks so much iv his
stomach that he won’t use it an' he
tells Carney that if he’ll ate on’y wan
or two mouthfuls at ivry meal an’
thurly chew, thlm, he will Ivinchooly
be no more thin skin an’ bones an’
very handsome to look at. In four
weeks a man who Feletches will lose
forty pounds, an’ all his frinds. Th’
idee is that ye mumble ye’er food f’r
tin minyits with a watch in front iv
ye. This night Carney was 'Fletching.
It was a fine supper. Th’ table groan
ed beneath all th’ indilicacies iv th’
season. We tucked our napkins und
her our chins an’ prepared f’r a jay l
nial avenin’. Not so Carney. He laid
his goold watch on th’ table, took a
mouthful iv mutton pie an’ begun to
Fletch. At first Hogan thought he was
makin' faces at him, but I explained
that he was crazy. I see by th’ look
in Carney’s eye that he didn’t like th’
explanation ,but we wint on with th’
supper. Well, ’twas gloryous. ’Jawn,
ye’er health. Pass th’ beefsteak Ma
lachi. Schwartzmeister, ol’ boy, can’t

Uncle Mingo on Estimating
The Cotton Crop.
By W. T. WILLIAMS.
“Ebble year long ’bout dls time,”
said the waiter, ”1 notices how fie
paper keep on talkin' ’bout how de
cotton mens Is guessln’ at de cotton
crop. I ain't nebber been 'xac’ly able
to rightly understan' Jes’ wat dey Is
dribin’ kt.”
"Well," said Uncle Mingo, “cose you
kin understan’ dat If de crop 1* werry
little, den cotton gits sca'ce an’ de
price goes up; an’ contrariwise, If de
crop Is big, den dey has mo’ cotton
dan dey know wot to do wld, an' so
de price goes down. You toilers me
dat fur, don't you?”
“O yes,” said the waiter; “leas’ ways,
dat's wot I always hear It ought to
do. But from wot I kin gedder, It
don’t always do wot de people wot
knows say It ought to."
“Pat's anudder parable you Is talk
in'.” said Uncle Mingo; “but dat ain’t
nelder here no dere. So long as dey
tlnks It ought to do so an’ so. dat's
all ffat's necessary.
"Well now, to ’splaln wy dein Cot
ton Exchange fellers Is always tryln’
to guess on de cotton crop ebble fall
o' de year. You kin see dat If a feller
kin tel Ibeforehan’ how big de crop is
goin' to be, dat enable him to pitch
een de market wld de greates' freedom
an’ confidence, an’ lose mo’ money dan
dem wot 'ain't near so well ported.”
“But wot I wants to know,” said
the waiter, “Is die: Mow kin anybody
tell how big de crop Is goln' to turn
out bef<' de bsles Is dona gin, pack,
an’ counted?”
"If I tell you 'bout dat," said Uncle
Mingo "you mus’ understan' I does
so en de greates’ confidence, an’ you
musn't lot U go no furder. Pe trut’

th’ fence last? What’s that story?
Tell it over here where Carner can’t
hear. It might make him laugh an'
hurt him with his friend Fletcher.
No? What? Te don’t say? An' didn't
Carney resist it? Haw , haw, haw!
This eyesther sauce is th’ best I iver
see. Michael, this is like ol times,
look at Schwartzmeister. He’s Fletch
ing too. No, be gorry, he's chokin'. I
think Carney’s watch has stopped. No
wondher; hb’s lookin’ at it. Haw, haw,
haw, haw, haw. I good joke on Car
ney. Did ye iver see such a face?
Carney, me buck, ye look like a kine
toscope. What is a face without a
stomach? Carney, ye make me nerv
ous. If that there idol don't stop f'r
a. minyit. I’ll throw something at it.
Carney, time’s up. Ye win ye’er bet
but ’twas a foolish wan. I thought
ye were goin’ to push Fletcher in a
wheelbarrow.”
"I’ve known Jawn Carney, man an'
boy, f'r forty years, but I nivor knew
ontil that minyit that he was a mur
dher at heart. Th’ look he give us
whin he snapped his watch was tur
rble; but th' look he give th’ dinner
was aven worse. He sot there f’r two
mortal hours miditatin’ what form th’
assassynations wud take an' Fletchin'
each wan iv us in his mind. I walked
home with him to see that he came to
no harm. Near th’ house he wint into
a baker’s shop an’ bought four pies
an’ a bag iv doughnuts. 'l’ve promised
to take thim home to me wife,’ he says.
'I thought she was out iv town,’ says
I. 'She’ll be back in a week,’ says he;
an' annyhow, .Misther Dooley, I’ll
thank ye not to be pryin’ into me do
mestic. affairs,’ he says.
“An’ there ye ar-re What’s the use
iv goin’ up again’ th’ laws iv nature,
says I. If nature intinded ye to be a
little roly-poly, a little roly-poly ye'll
be. They ain’t annything to do that
ye ought to do that’ll make ye thin
an’ keep ye thin. Th' wan thing in
th* wurruld that’ll rayjooce ye surely
is lack Iv sleep an’ who wants to lose
his mind with his flesh. I’ll guarantee
with th’ aid iv an alarm clock to make
anny man a livin’ skiliton in thirty
days. A lady with a young baby won’t
niver get no chubbier, nor th’ gintle
man, its father. Th' on’y ginooine
anti-fat threatment Is sickness, worry,
tti rouble an’ irtsomnya. Th’ scales
ain't anny judge Iv beauty or health.
To be beautiful is to be nachral. Ye
have gr-reat nachral skinny beauty
while my good looks Is more buxom.
Whin I see an ol’ fool In a sweater an’
two coats sprintin’ up the’ sthreet an’
groanin’ at ivry step, I want to Jine
with th' little boys that ar-re throwtn*
bricks at 'him. If he takes oft th’ flesh
that nature has wusted on his on
grateful frame, his skin won’t fit him.
They’se nawthin’ more heejous to look
at thin a fat man that has rayjooced
his weight. He looks as though he had
bought his coverin’ at an auction. It
bags undher th’ eyes an’ don’t fit in
th’ neck.
“A man is foolish that thries to be
too kind to his stomach, annyhow.
Fletcher’s idee is that th’ human
stomach is a kind iv little Ford Faun
tleroy. If ye give it much to do, it
will pine away. But Dock Casey tells
me ’tis a gr-reat, husky, good-natur
ed pugilist that'll take on most an
nything that comes along. It will go
to wuruk with grim resolution on a
piece iv hard coal. It will get th'
worst iv it but what I mane is that
it fears no foe an’ doesn’t dhraw th'
color line. I wud put it in th’ heavy
middleweight class an’ it ought to be
kept there. It requires plenty iv ex
ercise to be at its best an’ if it
doesn't get enough, it loses its power
ontil a chocolate eclair might win
against it. It mustn’t be allowed to
shirk its jooties. It shud be kept in
thrainin’, an’, says Dock Casey, if its
owner is a good matchmaker an’
doesn’t back it again opponents that
ar-re out iv its class or too manny at
wan time, it will still be doin’ well
when th’ brain is on’y fir f’r light ex
ercise.”
“D’ye expict to go on aceumylatln'
to th' end iv ye’er days?" asked Mr.
Hennessy.
“I do that,” said Mr. Dooley. "I ex
pict to make me frinds wurruk f’r me
to th' last. They'll be no gayety
among th’ pallbearers at me obsequies.
They’ll have no sinycure. Befure they
get through with me they’ll know
they’ve been to a fun’ral.”
'bout It Is, dat dey can't tell nobody
don't know. Pey makes a big yew an’
a cry ebble year; one crowd o’ tellers
say de crop Is o my! so awful terri
ble large; de udder crowd say dear me!
wot is goin' to become ob us! dere Jls
ain't hardly no cotton made dls year at
all. Pe big crop crowd heabes a deep
sigh; how dreadful distress dey does
feel for dc po’ cotton planter! But
dog gone him. dey say. It was all his
own fault, didn’t dey done tell him
ober an’ ober again dat If he would
go an' make too much, cotton he
wouldn’t hardly git nothin’ for It. An’
now look! dey say; from de mos’ reli
able Information we kin gedder, It has
become a matter toeyon' any doubt dat
de planters has grown a crop ob sonfe
w’ercs roun' fo-teen million bales. De
short crop crowd pull a long face.
Well! well! dey say. It’s reelly too bad
'bout dem po' people ober een Eu
rope wot won't be able to git no cot
ton to spin up dls year, de supply Is
goin' to be dat short. An' dem on
hsppy headen cannibals, dey say, won’t
had no close at all, de price will be
so high for calico."
"Wot I was particular noticin'," said
the waiter, “was de 'count ob a feller
up een New York what say a week ago
flat de crop is tlrteeri millions, an'
here to-day he say It ain’t but 'leben
millions. Is dat 'lowed een de game?”
“Kbbletlug goes," said Ungle Mingo,
"a feller kin call himself a liar ebble
day een de year If he want to. an'
nobody ain't goin’ to kick. Wen a
feller ban got cotton aol', he talks de
market down—O, awful big crop! Den
