Be Pleased at Sentiment Ex-

Mark Twain was waiting for a
street car in Boston, when a young
girl approached him. smiling. She
was a lovely girl, fresh, blooming, in
genuous. bubbling with enthusiasm.
and evidently on her way home from
school.
Pardon me-" she said, 81 know it's
very unconventional, but l may never

giving me your autograph"
Glad to do it, my dear child" said
Mr.. Clemens, drawing out his foun-
tain pen.
"Oh, it's so good of you" gurgled
the girl. you know, I've never seen
you but once, Chief Justice Fuller,
and that was at a distance; but I've
seen your portrait so often that / rec
ognized you the moment l saw you
here"
"Um-m-m-mm!" said Mr.. Glenn
ems, non-committally. Then he took
from her eager hands her nice little
autograph album, and wrote in bold
script the words:

But it is heavenly to be Fuller.

Saturday her weight vas just what 1t
had been on Friday, and Sunday she
weighed exactly the same. And Thurs
day of the next week she weighed the
last Thursday to a fraction. The ex-
element was terrible. One party said
she would do it, and one said she
would never in the world-that she
was naturally that size and nothing
would change it-and it began to look
as if they was right, when, Spang!
Friday morning her greatness of size
began to break loose!
1t was like a river flood caused by
an ice jam, and Aunt Rhinocolura
started in Friday morning at $3.50 to
lose flesh like a river loses it's flood
when the ice jam breaks. 1t started
all at once, just that way, There she
was, just as big as ever, and Biff! all
at once she began to fall off! BY 9 a.
m. she had lost ten pounds, and by
$50 she had lost rs pounds and ten
ounces, and was falling rapidly. So
the watchers "a out and rang the fire
bell, and the populace gathered breath
lessly, and by that time it was 10 a..
m. and reports passed that Aunt Rhi-
~nocolura had lost 50 pounds and that
the falling off was increasing at a
rapidly progressive rate.
Just there was where Aunt Rhinoco-
lura began to get scared. She didn't
know where she would stop thinning.
Like as not she might go right on los
ing until she was all gone and too thin
to wear anything, except a coffin. But
she was a mighty kind hearted old
lady, and did not mean to disappoint
anybody if she could help it, so she
called in two neighbor ladies, and
there they stood, one on each side of
her, with the directoire gown in hand.
ready to jam 1t onto her the minute
she touched the right weight, and she
stood on the scales with her y e fixed
on the dial, ready to give the word,
and all the time she was contracting
rapidly. Then, all at once, she gave a
yell, and the hired girl rung the din
ner-bell out of the front window. and
the neighbor ladies damned the gown
onto her and hooked it up the back in
one-tenth Of a second, and Aunt Rhi.
%1ocolura made a dash for the door,
and everybody glued their eyes to the
place where the split in that skirt
was!
Well. of all the disappointed crowds
you ever saw! That directoire skirt
didn't cause any excitement at all.
Come to find out, the split was on the
same side that Aunt Rhinocolura's
wooden leg was on!

Aunt Rhinocolura Betz, of BetzvilIe,
is one of the dearest old ladies you
ever saw v e if she has one wooden
leg, but If she has one failing it is the
desire to be stylish, and when she
read in the papers about those new
tangled direetoire gowns, she sat right
down and wrote a letter to the city
for one, and it came Thursday before
last. She gave all her proper meas
ures, but the gown makers did not
e to care for them. They thought
about half of Aunt Rhinocolura would
be enough to go into a directoire gown
at n time, | guess. In their letter
they came right out and said that 60
inches Of bust measure was absolutely
un-directoire; and as for hip measures,
the really fashionable people were try
ing to get along nowadays about as
hiplessly as possible. They wrote that
they were willing to do all in their
power, but that Aunt Rhinocolura
must do her. share. They said they
judged that II she banted off about 1870
pounds she would find the gown they
were sending a good snug fit.
That letter was an awful disappoint-
ment to Betzville. There we were, the
whole crowd of us, hanging around in
front of Aunt Rhinocolura's residence,
waiting for her to come out with her
split-up-the-side dress, and to get a
glimpse, maybe, of half a yard or so
Of silk stocking flashing out of the
split, and all our vocal chords tuned
up for a hearty cheer, when her hired
girl stepped out on the front porch and
read the letter. 1t was a sad disap-
pointment, but it was a sadder one to
aunt R~hinocolura.
don't suppose you ever tried to
bant off 1870 pounds; I never did; but
Aunt R~hinocolura started right in to
do it. There are AZ ways to get rid
of over-largeness Of the human being,
and Aunt Rhinocolura took them all
up at once, knowing how eager the
population was to see that gown. She
was a right kind-hearted old lady.
Some of the fiesh-reducer was the kind

some was cling-fast rubber things that
