to m&rry. ! am twenty-eight and
have not carod (or marriage.
Bachelor freedom suffice* me.
One reason I resolved never to
whisper in your ear, I save most
of it.
I’m a good business man. I
don’t spend my money on flash
jewelry, nor on wine and eong and
women. 1 am building with my
savings a castle on Bake Como, in
my native Italy, and there my Lady
of Lyons will be between book
covers.
A cane? Oh, yes. 1 need it to
keep people away when they press
too close, especially the women.
are melancholy. People like to
look at midgets. They don't at
dwarfs. That’s the reason mid
gets get rich. They're a cheerful
sight.
The world looks all right to me
for big clumsy folk like you. just
as Texas would be a great State
for elephants. They would have
so much room to turn around in it.
What I would like would be to
have an Island about as big as
Coney, build a lot of decent sized
Baron Guiseppe Paucci, the Tiniest Man in the World.
By Baron GIUSEPPE PAUCCI
I AM the smallest man in the
world, i am 23 inches high
and i weigh 17 pounds. Tom
Thumb wasn’t a marker. He was
i 30 inches high.
One or two inches to you or
dinary people who are all built
around the same size don’t make
much difference.
The world was built for your
eyes. But to me, who have less
than two feet, it is a very different
looking place indeed. How would
an elephant look to you if it was
as big as three elephants piled one
lion anothcA. or a giraffe as tall as
three giraffes, each standing on
one anther's head? Or, better
still, imagine yourself a five-foot
person walking around in a world
in which everybody is eighteen feet
The fore-shortening of things is
extraordinary. This picture you
see of me standing beside the
giraffe shows exactly how a
Are You
FAT?
I Was
ONCE.
I Reduced
i
I was Fat, Uncomfortable, Looked Old, Felt
Miserable, suffered with Rheumatism, Asthma,
Neuralgia. When I worked or walked, I puffed
like a Porpoise. I took every advertiaed medicine
1 could find. I Starved, Sweated, Exercised, Doc
tored and changed climate, but I ruined my diges
tion, felt like an invalid, but steadily gained
weight. There wag not a single plan or drug that
I heard of that I did not try. I failed to reduce
my weight. I dropped society, as I did not care to
be the butt of all ihe iokee. It was embarrassing
to have my friends tell me I was getting Stout, as
no one knew it better than myself.
SOMETHING HAD TO BE DONE
I began to study the cause of FAT. When I
discoveied the cause I found the remedy. The
French method gave me an insight. I improved
r*Tj that. Removed the objectional features, added
more pleasant ones, and then I tried my plan on
myself for a week It worked like Magic. I ooujd

giraffe looks to me. One of the
clever photographers of this news
paper took the picture through my
eyes. And I’ll bet you never could
guess in twenty years how it .was
done. It is r ' ;al photograph all
right.
Imagine yourself, a medium-sized
person, in a world full of elephants.
It is the same way with us midgets.
Our greatest fear is that you ele
phantine humans will step on us
or crush us to death in a crowd.
Otherwise our general feeling to
ward you is pity. F’ y because you
all look alike. You are ordinary
everyday individuals. You are
monotonous. We are unusual. You
walk the streets and nobody looks
at you, nobody notices you. Every
body looks at us. We are distinc
tive. You are tne common nouns
and we the proper nouns of hu
manity.
To us you look as the elephant
looks to you, coarsS and clumsy.
Your ears are enormous. Your eyes
like moons. Your teeth remind me
of the tombstones in a graveyard.
They are so large. Some of them
look like neglected tombstones, too.
There is only one exception to
what I have said of you big ordi
nary creatures. They are the
women. I like women who are
round and cushiony, and who have
full necks. I admire them, too,
with high color.
The woman who is most like a
tomato is the most beautiful woman
to me. If I ever marry I shall
not wed a midget. A full-sized
“To midgets you look as ele
phants look to you, course
and clumsy. Your ears are
enormous. Your eyes are
like moons. Your teeth re
mind me of tombstones.”
marry is that women are so vain.
Don’t I see it? They crowd about
me and if I lean toward one and
kiss her cheek and tell her I ad
mire her she nearly faints with joy
and pride. She believes me, the
featherhead! I generally pick out
the ugly ones, but that makes no
difference. They are quite over
whelmed with joy and from that
minute think they’re the most fas
cinating women on earth. How
could I marry such a woman? Her
head would be turned by the next
artist she met at a side show and
if he happened to be Eddie the
Skeleton, or Jim the Giant, or the
Turkish Fakir, who cries “Allah!”
when he eats hot coats, what could
i do?
But there’s compensation for be
ing a midget—lots of it. People
come to see us and pay to see us.
Who shall pay to see you who
read what I’ve written? No one.
Not a nickel. But they pay so
much to see me that I receive a
salary of $300 a week, and, lift me
up on your shoulder so that I can
‘I admire women who are round and cushiony. A
full sized wife or none, for me.”
So many of them want t.o take me
up as they would a baby and kiss
me. When I was in Paris 1 sat on my
impresario’s knee, and a strange
woman came up and swung me off
bis knee and said, “You dear little
darling! Bless’m’s precious ’ittle
heart!” I had to remember I was
a gentleman, not to slap her fool
ish mouth, though she was a
Countess. Why can’t they realize
that I’m twenty-eight years old?
One thing I want you to under
stand, you big people are so dull!
That is the difference between a
midget and a dwarf. The midget
is perfectly formed, but is small.
I’m a midget. The dwarf has some
thing wrong, generally a hump.
Midgets are clever. Dwarfs are
dull. Midgets are cheerful. Dwarfs
houses, gather lady and
gentlemen midgets about
me and be their king, as
Lebaudy wanted to be tne
Emperor of Sahara. Great
dream, isn’t it?
Cigarettes ? Yes, I
smoke ’em, but mostly as
an excuse to not answer
when people ask silly
questions. Don't smile
that superior smile at your
superiors. 1 dare you to
produce one of your hu
man elephants that’s per
fectly formed. Bring him
on, I’ll wager my castle in
Como, that, I've got the
money in bank to build,
that his figure hasn’t the
symmetry of mine.
Mind you, a midget never gets
drunk. Ordinary men do. I leave
it to you which is the wiser.
