FAT MEN

The fat man leads timid and wor.
ried life. He is always thinking
about thin-legged chairs and elevator
cables and when he sits down in a
street car he knows that he is being
hated by three people who are stand
ing. Doing heavy freight business
as he does, he is unable to walk far
and no bed has been invented that
will hold up fat man who is a good
free sleeper without getting tired and
letting him down occasionally.
The fat man enjoys winter, for even
the coolest days can't get through him
until about 4 p. m. But in April he
begins to melt and by July he has to
mop his face with a rubber window
cleaner every five minutes. When a
fat man become incandescent all the
way through he consits of pure mis-
cry, especially if he is too polite to
wear a collar button and carry the
rest of his neck-harness over his arms.
In spite Of all his troubles, the fat
man is genial and goodnatured and
is usually approached fearlessly by
book agents. There is no greater hero
than a $50 pound man with dark red
overhanging neck laughing steamily
on a hot July day as he Jokes about
the weather.

sembled formally adopted Woodrow
Wilson's opinion of Mr.. Ryan.
Gov. Wilson has not changed since
Col. Watterson eulogized him as an
other Tilden, and we advise the colo
mel to readopt his former opinion of the
Democratic candidate.
AS for The World, it will continue
to support itself. We regard Gov. VIII
sons nomination as a magnificent tri-
umph of American self-government.
This man had no bosses behind him.
He had no corporations behind him.
He had no political machine behind
him. He was nominated by the sheer
power of public opinion, because he
BEST embodied the issues that COM
front the American people. He owes
his nomination to nobody except him
self and to nothing except his own
mind and character.
1t is an inspiring thing to see a
great political party cast aside it's pro-
fessional politicians to name for Pres
ident scholar, student, a historian,
a COLLECT president who has stamped
his personality upon public life and
yet has held but one. political office.
1t is magnificent thing to see the
Republic reaching out with sure and
certain touch to the men who is pre-
eminently fitted to meet a great crisis
in It's history.
II Col. Watterson had held himself
aloof from the Harvey-wilson contro-

would be as respondent as ours and
the Star-Eyed Goodness would be in
better company than she has been
keeping for the last six months.

GOOD ADVICE TO AN OLD FRIEND
From New York World.

ier-Journal is losing that fine philoso-
ply and sweet serenity that once sill
vered his impetuous nature. Listen to
this illnatured snort from the head

Like a boy with new boots, brass
heels and toes, the New York World

A fat man is a man who thanks
he weighs a pound less than he did a
month ago
Fat men are globular in shape and
wear collars that look like a draw
string. They have legs and feet like
other men but have to take someone
else's word for it. If really fat man
were to meet his own feet on the
street he would pass them by as
strangers.
Some men weigh 300 pounds and are
not fat, while others weigh 200 pounds
and brush buttons off on both sides
working their way through the dining
room door. It all depends upon height.
If a man gains six inches in height
when he falls down he is genuinely
fat and should not be joked about it.
Fat men come in odd shapes and are
unusually not artistic. They bulge in
peculiar places like a Turkish mosque
and when tailor starts suit for a
pear-shaped patron, he plots out its
curves with wagon tire. There is
nothing more pathetic than pair of
pants which have just been completed
for a man who wears two-bushel
socks. They look like a pair of knee
breeches for Goliath.

Scrub Hog Improbable
By R. w. BATSON, Manager Forrest Stock Farm

being able to, resist disease better than
the improved breeds Of hogs. We
very much doubt whether this quality
attributed to the scrub hog is true,
since we have noticed that hog cholera
takes the scrub as we'll as the we'll
bred hog. 3
One thing is sure that the scrub hog
can consume more valuable feed and
give less in return than any other
animal that we know of. A farmer
who owns a herd of scrub hogs sell
dom needs any other corn crib than
his hogs. He never gets rich selling
pork, and in fact if he depends upon
his hogs to make him money to buy
better hogs he would never own bet
ter ones.
The scrub hog usually keeps his
owner so poor that he is not able to
buy better stock. In fact this is the
excuse usually given for his existence.
Poor farming and scrub hogs are u.s.
ually found associated together. They
are near and dear companions. Both
make a rapid retreat before progress
sive spirit and there is not a better
evidence of the general progressive
ness of the people than the absence of
the scrub hog from the community.
So get busy and buy better hogs.
The Hattiesburg news. (Hattiesburg, Miss.) 1908-1917, 1912-07-25

Possibly there is no other farm ami
NAL that can offer as poor an excuse
for his existence as the scrub hog. He
is an improbable animal any way you
take him. AS an economical pork-pro-
Queer he is failure. Even his ability
to shift for himself does not recon-
mend him to the people within the
limit of his range, as he has the repu-
tation of prying upon neighboring
cornfields when food is scarce.
His build naturally adapts him to
his manner of living, since he is long
legged, narrow in chest, has a long
narrow snout. This adapts him to his
manner of living. With the scrub
hog it is root hog, or de-" hence the
long snout. His narrow body aids
him in getting through small fence
cracks and if he fails to find a place
large enough to go through the fence,
he can soon dig under with his long
snout
There is no standard of excellency
for the scrub-hog, since he may pos
sess almost any form except beauti-
full one; he may be of any color. He
has the reputation of being able to
stand all kinds of rough treatment
and still survive. He is regarded as

Sell His Property,

Alleging that he is informed his wife,
Marie Ciffo, is attempting to dispose OF
premises 50 to 5S c street northwest,
valued at $3S. 800. which she claims as
her separate estate. and threatens to dis
pose of all the furniture and remove to

take title because of her better ac-
quaintance with English. In 1910 Ciffo
says, he sold his holdings in Latrobe and
bought premises 81 to 5S C street north

absolute title. He tells the court he has
learned his wife is making diligent ef-
forts to sell the real estate in disregard
of his rights. He also charges she has
entered into q contract to sell the prop
erty at a. great sacrifice. He also claims
she intends to withdraw funds from the
bank and to purchase other real estate

accident to any.

lived in other large cities, is fully con-
vinced that your force is entitled to high
cOmmendation for its efficiency, and to
the thanks of yours truly for the kindly
care shown his party while enjoying your
