WAS HAMLET FAT7
With Hit Own Words He Doth Pro
claim the Fact Quit* Pat.
The traditional Hamlet of our Btage
Is a lean, ascetic young person, an
Idealized, etherenllzed, heroic creature
evolved for the delectation of the mati
nee girl. He Is n horrid sham. Is It
credible that such a man would have
lacked the determination, the purpose
fulness, to put his revenge Into opera
tion put upon the discovery? It Is all
very well to argue about his mental
balance, ft was his sluggish liver
that stayed him and hampered him.
Hamlet's father was a fat and lethar
gic man by his own account
Sleeping within my orchard,
lly custom always of the afternoon,
he says In his ghostly Interview.
We may then look for some clew to
Hamlet's character as soon as he Is
alone on the stage. What are his
words?
Oh, that this too, too solid flesh would
melt!
It Is n keynote that may not be
glossed over as a beautiful thought,
for the same idea bursts out some lines
farther on, where he says of the world:
Things rank and gross In nature
Possess tt merely
Is It credible that such thoughts are
there for any purpose sove to guide
us as to the nature of this prince?
They serve a double purpose. Not
merely do we leurn that Hamlet was
a fat man. but also that he was an un
happy fat man. Hamlet was a man to
whom his bulk was an affliction. He
was handicapped by It nnd knew that
he was. Some such Idea Is discernible
In every ore of the great soliloquies.
He scorns himself for a sluggard:
What Is a man
If his chle good nnd market of his time
Be but to sleep and feed?
His mind, unhinged or not, is ob
sessed by fatness, and In the mad tur
moil of emotious after he has slain
Poloulus his thoughts run:
We fat all creatures else to fat ua, and
We fat ourselves for maggots.
It bursts out again In the "Oh. what
a rogue and peasant slave!" harangue
Ere this
I should huve fatted all the region's kites
With this slave's offal.
And who but a fat, lethargic man
would have said In the "To be or not to
be" speech:
Who would fardels bear
To grunt and sweat under a weary life
Does not the phrase bring to mind at
once the picture of a fat man toiling al
some loathed task?—London Express.
A Paternal Proposition.
"The government throws all the ob
solete army weapons In the junk pile.
They are unsalable."
"Seems to me the government gives
very little thought to pleasing Its citi
zens."
"How now?''
"Think of innocent joy that
would result if^ttiey buried those
weapons on the varrc^iis battlefields for
tourists to dig up."—Kansas City Jour
nal.
Ovid and Aviation.
If the aviators of today wish for-a
classical motto, what better can they
take than this passage from Ovid's
"Ars Amatoria.'' 2, 43—
quls crederet umquam
Aerlas homlnem carpere posse vlas?
which means, "Who would believe that
man will ever be able to take aerial
paths?"—Youth's Companion.
Real Obliging.
Creditor—I should like to know when
you are going to pay-this bill. I can't
ceme here every day In the week.
Debtor—"What day would suit you best?
Creditor—Saturday. Debtor—Very well;
then you can call here every Saturday.
—London Opinion.
Never Lonesome.
"You really like country life, do you,
Dobby?" asked Petlow.
"You bet I do," said Dobson.
"What do you do with yourself
nights?" asked Petlow.
"Oh. I come to town," said Dobson.—

EVIDENCE IN SULZER CASE
ORDERED STRICKEN OUT
Albany, Oct. 7—In tho Sulzer
impeachment proceedings today it
was brought out in evidence that
Sulzer had attempted to obtain th«
influence of Elihu Root and also
that of William Barnes to prever»t
the impeachment trial. The court
ruled the evidence stricken out.
An Early Postal Experiment.
As long ago as the seventeenth cen
tury the attempt was made to prepay
letters by using stamps. In 1053 Paris
tried a system that even provided pil
lar boxes for the letters, which were
to have a billet, price 1 sol, attached to
the letter or parcel. The experiment
met the usual experience of the pio
neer—ridicule. Mice were dropped into
the letter boxes, and when the letters
came to be collected it was found that
the animals had made a hearty meal of
them. As nobody could be sure of the
fate of the parcels, the experiment
came to a sudden end.
