FAT
By CLARA MORRIS
SCHOOL BOOKS
AND ALL SUPPLIES AT
SW.fi JOHH M. MILLER CO.’S,
not Plea***'ymi. there Is no uw 1 39 MARIETTA ST.
Justice Brewer, in his 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 & brother alumnus: "Secre
tary Taft Is the politest man alive; I
heard that recently he arose In a atreet
car and gave his seat to three women.”
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, ahe made a personal plea to
Mr. Taft, hoping to find some sympa
thy In his bulk, but failed, and she
simply received a reglrnen 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 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 little creature,
with rounded arms, dimpled cheeks and
hands, nnd pert little nose, fresh nnd
blooming, the admiration of everyone—
when placed In Juxtaposition with her
rlponed 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 nnd 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
comprelienlsve charity, and a con
science void of offense, the uruoI 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, on 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,
puffing 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 as n dancer on
a tight rope or to take flying leaps a
In 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 was
Fatstnff nt Gadshlll. And one might
go on nnd 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'nt 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 lean,
wiry fellow, who forces himself through
a window sash; that goes on tiptoe
through the hallw*ays, nnd up the
stairs, nnd glides cat-like Into the up
per chambers while the family are nt
dinner. And to conclude this argu
ment. what maiden lady, 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 aa 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 his nutriment, nnd 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,
uncording to her confession to the
ludge, 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 rov 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 temnerance In
both food and drink the one thing to
observe.

A GENERAL REPLY
By MARK TWAIN
POWER OF MONEY
By TRISTAN BERNARD.
Long before 1870. Mark Twain, then the
editor of a amnit newspaper, wrote the
following since famous reply lo many of
his would-be contributor*. To youngsters
of the present day It may seem odd that
conditions so seemingly up-to-date pre
vailed so many years agu; and Twain uiny
In one of Ids chuckling moments still *mlle
to think thnt the world has not changed.
Every man who becomes editor of _
newspaper or magazine straightway be
gins to receive mnnuscrlps from literary
will deliver ,
upon the same; and,
he finally takes refuge In a general sermon
on the subject, which he Inserts In hi*
publication and always afterward refers
such correspondents to that sermon for
answer. I have at last reached this sta
tion In my literal? career and proceed »o
-ouatruet my public sermou.
As all letters of the sort I am speaL...„
of contain the very same matter, differ
ently worded. I offer, as n fair average
specimen, the last one I have received.
"Mark Twain, Esq.: Dear Sir—I am a
youth Just out of school nnd ready to
•fart In life. I have looked around, but
don t see nnytblng that suits exactly. Is
n literary life eaay and profitable, or Is
It the bard times It Is generally put up
fpr? It must lie easier than a good innuy
If not most of the occupations, and I feel
drawn to launch out on It. make or break.
•Ink or swlui, survive or perish. Now
what are the conditions of success In lit
erature V You need not be afraid to paint
the thing Just ns It Is. I can t do any
worse than fall. Everything else offers
the Mine. When I thought of the law—yes.
and five or six other professions—I found
the same thing was the ease every time,
viz., all fnll overrun, every profession so
crammed thnt success Is rendered impos
sible—too many hands nnd not enough
work. Rut I must try something, and so
I turn nt Inst to literature. Something
tells me thnt that Is the true bent of my
geuius If 1 have any. I Inclose some of
my pieces. Will you read hem over and
give ine your candid opinion of them? And
now, r hate to trouble you, but rou have
been a young man yourself, and what I
wnnt Is for you to get me n newspaper Job
of writing to do. You kuow many news-
paper people, sml I nm entirely unknown.
And will you make the l>est terms you cau
for me. though I do not expect what might
l*e called high wages at first, of course.
Will you candidly My whnt such articles
ns these I Inclose are worth? I have plenty
of them. If you should sell these snd let
me know. I can send you more as good
nnd maybe better than these. An early
In leaving entirely to you for solution,
begin: There are several questions In
' letter which only a man's life ex
perience can eventually answer for him—
not another man’s words. I will simply
skip these.
1. Literature, like the ministry, medicine
and the law. nud all other occupations, Is
cramped nud hindered for want of men to
do the work, not want of work to do.
When people tell you the reverse they
speak that which Is not true. If you de
sire to test this you need only hunt up a
first-class editor, reporter, business man
ager, foreman of a shop, mechanic or artist
In any branch of Industry, end try to hire
him. You will find that he Is already hired.
He la softer. Industrious, capable nnd re
liable nnd la always In demand, lie can-
not get a day’s holiday except by courtesy
of his employer, or or 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*
2. No; I must not nnd will not veuture
any opinion whatever as to literary merit
of your productions. The public Is the
only critic whose Judgment Is worth any
thing nt nil. Do not take tny poor word
for this, but reflect a moment and take
your own. For Instance, If Sylvnnna Cobb
or T. 8. Arthur had submitted their maiden
manuscripts to you yon would have said,
with tears In your eyes. “Now, please
don’t write any more!’’ lint you see your,
■elf how popular they ore. And If It had
lieen left to you you would have sold the
“Marble Faun” was tiresome, nnd that
even “Paradise I-ost” Ineked cheerfulneM;
but you know bow* they sell. Many wiser
nnd better people f»•-••• you pooh-poohed
kespenre even as late as two centuries
Judg-
mostly
those people. No, I
meat upon your literature. If I honesty
nnd conscientiously praised It I might thus
help to Inflict ■ lingering nnd pitiless hors
ujmui the public- If I honestly snd con-
cletitlously
lUmned It .
rob the world of u Dickens

the beginning to find s very difficult wff
Ing which required great ability and dif.

for two francs. Then he hired a cautl
transport himself and his baggage to th«
exclusive hotel. “The Norweiglan Tiger”
Arrived here, he took a small comfort :
able apartment and of the fifty francs h«
still had left, he gave the waiter*, |*h.
(toys nud chambermaids thirty a* tits.
When he had done thnt he bought a nifii
ticket at a restaurant. “The Jlmniv.”
At Duvnls, the famous Canadian tailor
he. ordered ten different suits: evenln-
dress, business suit and a smoking Jacket*
Prince Albert, golf salt, and riding suit*
he examined the goods for each very care
fully and spoke like a connoisseur, of thi
cut and the making.
At Temlnore's he ordered auch a scire-
tlon of neckties and shirts that King Kq.
ward would hare turned Jealous with <>urr
This don«j be bought for three francs
ten pneumatic postal -cards, nnd. retiring
to his room, he wrote something In differ,
ent handwriting on each of them and sign*!
them with different names. He then went
out, took a rah for another part of the
city snd mailed the cards, addrrnsrd to
himself In his hotel. When he w*eut Dark
In the afternoon, thoae postal cards were
lying on the desk In the office of the hotel
and It Is hardly necessary' to. My tlmt the
wife of the hotel keeper had read then*.
Here Is what they contained;
Mr. George James:
Dear Blr—At your request I hare #>M
part of your lire stock and Implement*.
Should you nt any time desire me to Ml

The next postal card was written la t
lady’s handwriting, and said:

of his tailor. He seemed to be In quite a
hurry nnd Immediately asked for M. Dural
to whom he said: “My dear Dursl. art
you able to oblige me with a thousand
francs? At 5 o’clock I will return It t*
you. and I ahull be exceedingly obliged
that you have Mved me the trouble of
going to the bank."
Now there are things which one should
never say to people wno are suffering with
catarrh of the stomach. The face of the
good Dural turned a sickly grey, but b*
reasoned that be was already In for It,
haring delivered suits to tbs value of three
thousand francs to this customer. If b*
uow refused to leud him the one thousand
francs, ho thereby confessed to tatmwli
that he hod given credit foolishly and ft
admit that to himself would sfftrf
his digestion, so he preferred to lend M-
James the thotiMnd francs, without an;
■how of enthusiasm, however.
James returns to his hoicl He wall*
up to the counter and asks with his u*ual
pleasant manner: "Are there any lettm
*or me, Madame Tlbere?”
Then he takes out his pocket book *nd
•pens It and at;*: "Would yon pl***w

let me have smaller bills snd gold Instead
Half an hour later, he walks Into the shot
of bis halH>rdasher. He begins to critic**
the shirts he has received last and rnsusll;
he takes out his pocketbook with the word*
“Would you please give me a thousand
franc bill for all this atnsll change? It to
a nuisance to carry to much of it

politely, replies that there would probably

you will never have to go nround hunting
for remunerative literary work to do. You
will require more hands than you have
now, nnd more brains thnn 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
until somelHMly offers pny. If uolmdy <
tv lint lie was intended for. If he has any
wisdom nt all. then lie will retire with
dignity nnd ussunie his beaven-nppoluted
vocation.
In the above remnrkn I have onlr offered
a course of notion which Mr. IHckciis nnd
most oilier successful literary men have
had to follow: but It !a a course which
very, »t-r/ >-hihnw xir.ii.ir. ..XT
that If he wished to In-come n tinner the
master smith would require him to prove
the possession of a good cbnracter. and
would require him to promise to stay In
the shop three years—possibly fonr-nnd
would make him sweep ont and bring
water and build Area all the first year, and
let him learn to black stoves In the luter-
vats; nnd for these good, honest services
would pny him two suits of cheap -lothes
nnd his Inwird; the next year he would ln»-
*ur to receive Instructions on his trade,
and n dollar a week would lie added to his
emoluments: nnd two dollars would be
added the third year sml three the fourth;
nnd then. If he had become a first rate tin
ner, he would get nbout fifteen or twenty,
or maybe thirty dollars a week, with never
n possibility of getting seventy-five while
he lived. If he wanted to bccoiuw a me-
banlc of any other kind he wotiM have
o undergo this same tedious. 111-pnld ap
prenticeship. If he wanted to become a
lawyer or doctor he would hart- fifty
times worse, for he would get nothing nt
nil during his long apprenticeship, nnd In
nddltlou would have to pny a large mtm
for tuition, nud have the privilege of l»onrd-
ing anil clothing himself. The llterajry as
pirant knows all this, and yet he has the
liurdihood to present liltuself for re<*ent|on
Into the literary guild, and ask to slinre
Its high honors and emoluments without
n single twelve-months' apprenticeship to
show in excuse for his presumption’. lie
