liam evidently does not read the papers.
Else she would know that Nat Good
win is in New York"

Mems Club. He says that Nobody
loves a fat man" is a lie and that far
men make the world go round. Fur
thermore, he add that few fat men
get divorces; fewer are in jail. All
love their homes and children. Just

Round Up" was wrong in his con-
illusions canvas was made.
From many parts OF the country

received that President Taft enjoyed
his dinner more than usual From
Chicago came glad tidings that while
there are a few fat malefactors OF
great wealth whom some regard as
criminals, the ordinary garden variety
. are mostly runts" who train down to
carry on their business.
, | Warden McGuinness of the Essex
County N. ]. jail, agreed with Quimby
as follows: THE typical crook is q
nervous. restless chap, furtive and dis
satisfied, or else he is cold blooded and
, devoid Of the quality of human SYM
pathy. He lacks the very things that
/ man grows fat upon" BY the way
, McGuinness weighs 225 pounds.
) Chief Of Detectives James H Smith
, OF St Louis, Mo-, said that porch elm
bers seldom work after getting past
$50 pounds. as they lose their agility;
the transom thief is lank and the pick
pocket is thin, so that he might
sQuirm easily out of crowds.
