PHILOSOPHY and Eatness.

William Allen White (who is fat) in
The Emporia Gazette: Herbert Cave
ness of The Chanute Tribune, who is SO
skinny that his foot don't track with
out growing, calls the attention of the
editor Of The Gazette to the fact that a
fat hope got walloped the other night
in Kansas City in a wrestling match,
and then adds, i~nvidiously: "A fat
man makes a splendid pin-cushion, and
a fine backstop, but aside from this he
doesn't deliver the goods"
That Is also a matter OF opinion. 1t
may be true that nature abhors a fat
man. as the axiom says. And it may
be also more or less true that nobody
loves a fat man. And yet we should
not forget that fat men have their uses.
1t was indeed a fat man who busted
the republican party, and that was a
complete and artistic job. More than
that, Col. Lillian Russell, who after a
long and useless matrimonial career,
settled down to a vine and fige tree,
chose from a. wide and ~variegated eX-
perience, a fat maj who closed the Sc
ries. Fat men have their faults; but
Impotence. is not n of these faults.
For, after a man has .toted around fifty
or a hundred pounds of lard, taller and
beesWax that he doesn't really need,
after he has. been busting buttons off
his Sunday clothes in unexpected and
embarrassing places for twenty years
or more, after he has seen himself in
mirrors coming indoors two or three
seconds before he arrives, he has come
to an agreement with the preacher who

How the Garden Spiders Make Love.
From the Country side, London:
The love making Of the garden spider
is very interesting to see.
The male spider which can be dis
ting uished from the female by his
small size n knobbed palpi. begins
by throwing out silk, till he manages
to. make a road between himself and
the middle Of the females web. He
then runs along this road, raising his
front legs at Intervals. The female re-
mains m~otionless In the center of the
web.
The male then runs to her and rap
idly pats her on the back, sometimes
with his two front legs, sometimes
with four. He then returns to his
starting point.
Next time perhaps the female ONES
to meet him with 'open arms (front
legs). He rushes to her, but no soon
er has he reached her than he folds
up her legs and pretends to be UNI
conscious of his presence. At this he
again rapidly pats her on the back.
Often when the female is in the mid
die of her web he tries to attract her
by shaking his silken road as hard as
he can.
: This courtship takes a very long
time. The affair from which I took
these notes occupied in fact two days,
unless it was that more than one male
took part in the performance. .
The length and monotony of these
