Yesterday was another fine winter
day. The night before considerable
snow fell and yesterday morning two or
three inches OF the tleecy were on the
ground. The weather was only pleas
antly cold, and in the afternoon the sun
came out brightly. Those who had
sleighs soon brought them out, and the
kids had coastin. tracks ready in lit
tic while. The sidewalks where there
is much travel became dangerously
smooth before noon, and there were
many falls, but none especially severe.

But fat men are different. There are
three OF them in the Office with me, and
they suffer terribly. Part of their mis-
cry is due to the fact that they wear sci
entific clothing. They appear every
morning in neglige shirts which stick
to their bodies like mustard plasters.
They spend large sums on patent ven

gestion for cutting loose one end of the
room and swinging it on hinges.
