AUTHOR NOT WISELY GUIDED
Book May Have Deplorable Effect on
Humanity. in the Possible Passing
Of the Fat Man.

An American author who has made
a name for himself in American letters
threatens to nullify his good work by
standing sponsor for a volume entitled
Eat and Grow Thin In this book
he liberalizes to the proportions OF
an epicurean dream the food a fat
person may indulge in and yet melt
his too, too, solid flesh Fat men
there are. of course. no fat women
who have adopted the generous
Thompson regimen assert that they
are steadily decreasing in ayoirdupois
and yet are enjoying bountiful repasts.
II is to weep.
The fat man is the delight OF the
world. This is universally conceded.
The fat man is a philosopher, despite
what Shakespeare makes Caesar say,
by inference, in his expressed desire
to have about him fat, sleek-headed
men," complaining that the lean and
hungry Cassius thinks too much The
fat man exudes a joyous, unctuous OPP
timism that inspires and cheers all
about him He thinks, however, that
he would prefer to be thin, not realiz-
ing the origin Of his blessings. The
only thing that has prevented his be-
coming thin is the fact that most sys-
TENS of diet require a sort Of starya-
tiOn--and his provender is more dear
to him than a sylph-ike form.
But now that he may eat luxurious
ly and grow thin he is likely to desert
the society that has profted by his
benofcent spirit and become skinny,
unimpressive and pessimistic. Then
in time of stress and trial thin, wor-
ried people will have no billowy shoul-
der upon which to weep, nc fat phi
losopher to encourage, sustain and
soothe. In time of trouble a fat
friend is in the shadow of a great rock
in a weary land. He is a fortress

world will be when the fat man D.
comes extinct. Yet the facts must be
faced in all their horrors. When the
fat man has grown lean this will be
waste and desert world, given over
to bony cynics who will howl in the
high places and preach the gospel Of
despair. Therefore, the rash author
is entreated to take his baleful book
off the market.-Chicago News.

GERMAN AMERICAN BANK WINS
The Old Association Was Com

But Two of Them Have Settled
Out of Court.

Under a decision handed down by
Judge George II. Whitcomb in the
second division of the district court
this morning five members of the old
Topeka Baseball association will be
required to pay into court more than
$4,000 each on a judgment gwen 10
the German American State bank.
The five men scheduled to dig up
the money are Chester Woodward,
Arch Catlin. ). J. Bear, G. b. Merriam
and Guilford Dudley H A Auer-
bach. another member of the assocla-
ton made a cash settlement ana +.
p Metzger, former president OF the
Geruan-American bank, made settle
ment when he severed MS connection
with the bank.
The total amount due the bank,
under the verdict, is Sl4,SOO. ii. A
Auerbach settled his share of 1t long
ago by paying 81 400, which, although
it did not represent a seventh of the
total amount due, was accepted by
the bank. The settlement made by
Metzger was not brought out in the
trial
These men, as the Topeka Baseball
association, needed money to carry on
the business of the association. They
arranged a working basis with the
German-American bank under which
the bank was to take care of all eX-
penses over and above the receipts
Ine ASSOCIATION gave lIlt Jain ANo
notes to cover the loans but the state
banking department did not counte-
nance that arrangement. 1t held that
the bank was not fully secured by the
notes of the association.
Individually Responsible.
y In order to meet the requirements,
the members signed a guaranty under
which they became individually re-
sponsible. Because of an agreement
with his partner II. A. Auerbach de-
clined to give notes or become party
to the guaranty. He arranged with
the bank to make an estimate of the
amount each of the seven men would
have to stand good for individually
and made his payment in cash. The
bank estimated his share at 81, 400
and he paid it.
1t developed later that 81 400 did
not constitute One-seVenth of the total
amount The total outlay ran higher
than the banks estimate and tl~S
other members of the association de-
clared their guaranty was void be-
cause the cash payment required of
That is the point on which the parties
to the case went into court
= In the verdict handed down the
Guaranty is held to be good and it is
held that each of the five remaining
men is responsible for his share of the
amount due the bank. The total is
$14.SOO.
The case tried was that of the bank
against Chester Woodward but the
points involved in the other cases are
similar and the understanding of the
attorneys for the bank is that the one
case will decide all of them.
