COMPLIMENTS FOR THIN PEOPLE

What is especially needed at the present time" said the busy woman. 'is a new style compliment for thin people. The attitude of the public to- ward the willowy type of human be- ing. especially the female species. is puzzling. Those who carry a few ex- tra layers of flesh seem to feel a con- suming compassion for those whose frame is less abundantly covered. In their opinion the greatest compliment they can pay a person of my meager proportions is to exclaim: oh. how well you are looking. Your face is ever so much fuller than it used to be. : Just as sure as I meet anybody who wishes to be particularly agreeable she or maybe he-says that They think it will make me feel nice and comfoft- able. But it does not. I don't want my cheeks to stick out like full moons. I don't want to be fat. I don't want to be even stout. In fact. very few thin people do want to. That is why I can hot understand the prevalence of this form of compliment No one would ever think of saying to a stout person: oh. you are so much whiter than you were Then why address remarks so extremely personal to the lean and hungry Cassiuses of either sex with the idea of pleasing ?"-New York let ter to Pittsburg Dispatch.

THE TRAGEDY OF
 BEING LOWlY BORN.

Nine tenths of mans felicity de- bends upon being well-born: in Lon don a bit more than nine-tenths. In the upper classes eighteen per cent. of the children die before reaching the age of five years. but in the lower classes-say of St.-George's-i in- the East-the average death rate is twen- ty-nine years of age. So by the mere fact of being born out of the nobility and gentry the Londoner Is stripped of twenty-seven years of the life that might have been his. Oh, Or other things. too, he Is shorn. His short life is bare of comfort or delight. Nor can he take pride in it-it is, at once. too dirty and too sad: all by that chance of birth too far eastward. Pain and hunger and helotry - the empty belly and the overburdened back-are his heritage. He and his woman-a pair of lean, warped animals slink together through the grayness of life. under the iron laws. And in blows and oaths, they find a certain joy in gin-which is white as water and runs hellishly hot down the throat and smokes in the brain: find. too. in the pewter pot of heavy-wet a certain sleep which is better than waking: go thus through lie till the iron law of averages knocks them on the head at twenty nine.
 An memorable law decreeing that one of every four Londoners shall die in workhouse. hospital. jail. or lunatic asylum-one out of four.-F-om The Pent and Huddled East" by Vance Thompson in the Outing Magazine for September.

JtWFlSh CHAMPION
 AT LONG BEACH
Charles Larson Who Returned From the Coast Yesterday Brought the Belt With Him.

Charles Larson returned yesterday from an outing of two weeks on the coast. He was accompanied by Mrs Larson who had been there since the middle of July. In the short time he was there Mir. Larson established the seasons record for jewish at Long Beach. catching q monster weighing 225 pounds. There was d seeming ir- regularity in the proceedings which threatened Mir. Larson's title to the seasons championship but the matter has been strengthened out. The fish was brought to the surface dead and it was the contention of the other sports men that it was dead when hooked. Against that theory was the fact that the hook was buried deep in the throat of the fish and beside there was the testimony of eye witnesses that the line spunout an appalling rate. IL was clear that the fish was alive at that time.
 Later the objection was introduced that the fish had been drowned, a fact which MT. Larson was brought to ad- init, but he set up that it was no fault of his. The jewfish had swallowed the hook to such depth that throughout the struggle it's mouth was forced open. IL is a fact well known to those who have given the matter any attention that d fish can not live in the wa,er with It's mouth open allsof the time no more than man can.
 His claim to the title was finally al- lowed but it is stated that the rules of the Jewish club VIII be so amended next season as to bar residents of the arid regions from drowning the fish Of the Pacific and make il count for the championship.
 Mir. Larson's companion in the boat nearly lost a hand through the agency of another jewfish. When it started to the depths with the hook, he sought to detain it by grasping the small line with both hands. The line spun through ahem with so great rapidity that before the fisherman could let go great creases had been sawn into them and he imagined he could see smoke issuing from behind his clenched fin gers. That fish got away.

How big IS it?' This question at once directs thought tO the Singer building. in lower Broadway The question is asked by thousands Of persons crossing from the Jersey shore. It was asked yesterday of a tall. scholarly looking man standing on the upper deck of one of the Pennsyl- vania ferr- boats. II do not know its exact height" said the man addressed but this I give as an opinion. that during a heavy thunder shower the height of that building would make it entirely possible for the sun 10 shine on the roof while the lower stories were being deluged by rain The heavily laden rain clouds are only about five hundred feet above the earth. while the lantern of the new Singer building will be almost six hundred feet high Tbe building will tower high above the fog banks. venture to say. thus affording New Workers one Of the features of SwitZer- land right at their own doors"

TO TURN DIsTILLERs
Large Numbers of Them Inquiring
About Manufacture of Denatured
Alchol from Waste Products.

Washington, d. c.. Sept. SAC
cording to officials of the internal
revenue bureau there are signs of a
great awakening of interest in the
manufacture of denatured alcohol.
Letters are pouring in from farmers
and persons of small means asking
for Information about the amended
law, the revised regulations, the
methods of manufacture, and the like
Congress last winter amended the
law so as to make 1t feasible for
formers and persons with little capt.
tal-to manufacture denatured alcohol.
Until the law was amended it was
not practical for any but large plants
TO engage in the manufacture. The
new regulations that have been pre-
pared by the internal revenue bureau
are liberal and are calculated to en-
courage the manufacture of dena-
tured alcohol at small plants. The
officials say that. judging by the mum.
Der of inquiries they are getting
many small plants will be established
The impression is strong through
the country that denatured alcoho
can be made profltably from waste
products. The internal revenue Off
cials say that, while this is true il
theory, the practical value of waste
products for this purpose has yet tC
be demonstrated. 1t is not yet fully
tested commercial proposition. II
Germany nearly all denatured alcoho
is manufactured from sugar beet
and from potatoes.
At present most of the denatureC
alcohol produced in this country /!
made ID the Peoria internal revenue
district by the big distilling compa.
MES there. Until lately the impress
sion among revenue officials has been
that the making of alcohol by indi.
vidual farmers would be attempted
but little, but thew admit that so
many inquiries are coming in now by
reason of the PRONUNCIATION of more
liberal regulations that they may
have to revise their opinions. A
prominent official today expressed the
belief that a good deal would be done
by farmers in the manufacture of de-
natured alcohol through co-opera-
ton.

TO HAVE
A CHORAL SOCIETY
Prof. Deal Will Organize One
to Present Musical Features.
Claims There Is An Abundance of
Good Talent From Which
To Draw.
SIGNS FOR THE KENTUCKY

Chances for the organization of 4
permanent choral society in Paducah
are excellent since Mr.. William Deal,
the musician, has decided to remain
in Paducah. Such a society was start
ed last winter, but too late. Mr.
Deals ideas are many and he in
tends to interest unsteady inclined
people in Paducah and present musi-
cal features this winter and next
spring which will be credit to the
city.
Mr.. Deal is director of The Ken
lucky theater orchestra and also has
signed a contract with the Palmer
Hotel company again to furnish mu-
sic in afternoon and evening during
the winter and spring. This insured
his remaining here for six months at
the least. He was asked to take hold
OF the choral club last winter. but ad-
vlsed against continuing it on ae-
count of the lateness of the season.
with a well trained choral socie-
ty in Paducah, May music festival
would be an easy matter to arrange,
and there should be no reason why
local talent should not be as success
full financially and otherwise as was
the initial festival given last May
featuring Innnes band" declared Mr.
Deal. There is abundance of musi-
cal talent in Padueah that needs only
a little training and drilling. | will
take pleasure in devoting all the time
I can possible give towards perfect
ing such an organization.
As to the band for a May music
festival, Mr.. Deal can easily augment
his band by enlisting musicians from
surrounding towns. He intends TAX
ing hold early in the season and
pushing the matter through.
