The Man Who Sits.

Atlanta Constitution.
We are averse to betraying secrets of the edi-
torial floor. But we feel compelled to put be-
fore the public the curious language" and the
more curious doings of Mr.. Wallace P. Reed, an
esteemed member of the Constitution staff
Mr. Reed says: eff you will sit down and
stay down you will live forever. 1t is exercise
that wears a man out. The man who sits is the
man who lasts" Mr. Reed has long practiced
his newly declared philosophy. He has never
been in the Kimball House. Only once in FIVE
years has he been in the Union Depot. 1t is
six years since he saw Waitehall street, and ff
teen since he saw McDonough. He has been to
the theater once in four years, and never to
base ball.
His home, by the airline he takes, is three
hundred yards from the Office. Twice day he
walks this For FIVE years he has not averaged
fifty yards day extra walking. One
pair Of shoes has lasted him three
years. He carries An umbrella always,
and never looks beyond its bending rim.

and looking out he saw a half dozen elephants
and some camels crossing his path He careful
ly picked his way through the unexpected cara
van, and on reaching the Office remarked that
there must be circus in town.
Here. then. is the man who sits. Fo twelve
hours every day he sits at his desk; four hours
he sits at home. It takes twelve minutes to
walk 300 yards four times each dav. He sleeps
seven and half hours. His health is perfect.
His appetite is KEEN his brain clear and his
capacity for work remarkable He is never
