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. Cor. Edgewood Ave. and Boulevard.

FORREST & GEORGE ADAIR. 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 speare. U*brn Janie, flrjt erne to P*rl, hi, whol. fortune mnutmlM to Juit exactly h..* <lre.l "ntl flfty fr.ne., J It iilldV,, & possible to live for two months while feff f or J* Position, but he preferred the beginning to find s very difficult wff Ing which required great ability and dif. fereut .othec talents snd most exciting i nil callings which allows for no revreatit* and no vacation. Fully convinced that hi would succeed, he chose the calling of Ing nothing. * He first bought himself an elegant travsL Ing suit, and secoud-hnnd trunk of «wJi> manufacture; almost covered with with the names of all the roost promloMt hotels In Switzerland and Riviera To m»k« this trunk hesTy he bought old newsDaou* 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 castle with the park and farming land, ns well as the seventy horses which are ■till left, 1 shall be very pleased to do ao. 1 remain, yours very respectfully, VINAIGIIEK. On another was. written. In a circle** hand—notary public writing: My Dear James—What Is the matter with you/ Why don’t you come and see me auj more? Now, do be a good boy snd let me have the pleasure of seeing you for dinner tomorrow. Always vours. , HENRI D’ORLEANS. The next postal card was written la t lady’s handwriting, and said: The pearl necklace Is simply grand, dar- ng. Yon really spoil me. Be sure to ’‘" H FKB&EGUNDE I»B BBUNEJAUI.T. 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 x hnnge this thouMnd franc bill for me so4 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 yon.’’ The manager of the shop, smlllni politely, replies that there would probably be n good manv who would not mind tu* trouble, nnd a few moments later die it w the shop of a shoemaker whom be berate* because the quality of the PAtent lentbej (int they have n renl value 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 would smile pleasantly If he were asked to make even so simple a thing ns a ten- cent tilt dipper without previous Instruc tion In the art; but, all green nml Ignorant, wordy. iMinipously assertive. i.*jgnti»mat)- rnl. with n vague, distorted knowledge of men nud the world acquired lu • back •o tin try village, he will serenely take up so dangerous a weapon ns a pen and attack the most formidable subject that finance, i-onuuerce. war or politics (-an furnish him withal.
