taste: Turkish woman who is not alb
soluteiy fat is a Turkish woman desti-
tute of charm. The subject is a broad
one, with many and historical aspects.
from the time when Jeshurun, as we read
in Deuteronomy, "waxed tat and kick
cd"
Just now it is given serious and
very interesting discussion by Dr.
George NJ. Niles, in the Journal of the
American Medical Association. Every
one is aware of the value of fat as a
source CT energy for the development
of heat. That phase of the fat mans
condition may be passed by. Another
one is of larger Importance. Says DIR.
Niles:
1t has been commonly known from
the earliest antiquity that fat people are
more contentcd, more optimistic, than
lean ones, and that their viewpoint of
life in genera! is largely governed by
this prosaic attribute. Now. / might
compare the supply of fat to the ample
bank account of a busy and provident
man. That he possesses this surplus
does not prevent him from diligently
following his usual avocation (sicl, but
the knowledge Of it's presence and that
it can be instantly obtained lends a men,
tai satisfaction that would be absent
We're he living right up to his daily in
come"
This may be true: who can say? 1t
is SO easy to generalize and. as a mat
ter Of fact. so impossible to be certain
about such things. One might particu-
lariZe through a column or two and ar
rive at no definite conclusion. Napole-
on was a fat little man and infinitely
greater than TIE lean Wellington; Dr.
johnson and Gihbon were grossly fat,
bat Emerson and Carlyle We're bare to
the bone And so forth.
One thing, at least, seems clear: the
fat man may not be as spry on his feet
as his lean brother: he may not, as q
rule, he as agile of mind, but he eats
a better meal and enjoys sounder
sleep He is more cheerful; his laugh
is heartier In fact, some of him have
laughed and grown fat. And then,
again and finally. it is probably easier
to be fat and get lean than to be lean
and get fat.-Philadelphia Press.

C0burn's Fine Acquisition.

type which has come to be regarded
as the best.
The purchase OF this field has been
made possible by contributions from
graduates and friends OF Coburn-
especially from Hon. w. 5. Libbey Oh
Lewiston, a graduate of the school in
the Glass of 1871, who started the
movement with a large personal con-
tribution. In recognition of this and
in appreciation Of many other hne
things that Mr.. Libbey has done for
Coburn, the trustees have named the
new grounds THE Libbey Athletic
Field" Like everything else with
which he is connected Mr. Libbey hopes
to see this become eventually one of
the finest of it's kind.
| Mn the securing of this land. not only
| is one of the dreams of many genera
| lions of Coburn students realized, but
also, there is provided ample space for
the future development of the school.
Coburns good fortune in obtaining this
! particular tract will be appreciated
when it is remembered that, on ac-
count of the rapid building up of the
outskirts Of the city. there is absolute
ly no other land of suitable size left
anywhere available for this purpose,
except at a distance of nearly mile
from the school buildings. The new
field is desira BILE, also, by reason of its
being situated in part of the city
which will always be devoted to resi-
| dental purposes. Both as an athletic
field, therefore, and as site for a dor
mitory, gymnasium and other build
ings of the future, this land consti-
tuteS a splendid addition to Coburns

FARMERS ESCAPE JURY DUTY.
Marion Judge Regards Agricultural
Work More Urgent Than Court.

Marion, Ind, May 15.-Farming inter-
ests are of more consequence in Grant
county just now than the business of the
circuit court. When the jury was called
few days ago to consider state cases
Judge II. ]. Paulus ascertained that the
majority of the eighteen veniremen were
farmers and were impatient to be in their
iields. Several of the farmers said that
IL was impossible for them to employ
men to take their places, and desired to
be excused. Judge Paulus consulted with
members of the bar, and it was agreed
that all jurors who had urgent need to
attend to farm work could be dismissed.
But five men in the venire of eighteen
remained in the court room.
Judge Paulus announced that such
cases as demanded immediate trial could
be heard by pick up juries, but admon
ished the hailiff to be careful in the Sc
lection of jurors Grant county farmers
are busy planting corn, and Judge Paulus
and the LAWYERS at the bar considered
that the business of the court could
await attention better than the farmers
fields. The fact that Judge Paulus is the
owner of nearly four hundred acres of
fine farm land adjoining Marion on the
west is said to have brought forcibly be-
fore the court the need Of prompt atten-
ton to agricultural work at this season
ST the year.
The business of the court proceeded
after the regular veniremen had been dis
missed before a "pick up jury. Earl

uel Deter, foreman at the United States
