DAY mr augustus fitz maurice was a strong advocate of what he lie termed manly sports I 1 and the terms used by him in defence of them greatly astonished his dear mamma and sisters he seemed to be of the 0 opinion p that to be favored with ditl i a large amount of brain was a great misfortune while the tilo preponderance of muscle was tile the greatest blessing that could possibly be bestowed upon its possessor not that ho he cared care d about entering actively into the cultivation of his own muscle he had tried the manly art of self defence 11 and found that boxing enge engendered nde red blood bloody noses an and S black eyes boating blis bils blistered blistered terey his han hands 8 and lie did not consider it safe as ho he could not swim yachting made maue him seasick sea sick and as for base ball lie he could neither hit the ball nor catch it one thing the exquisite prided himself on oil and that was his sportsmanship he owned the most expensive gun and outfit and the rig of any fellow follow on the avenue not that he ever went gunning not he the dog gun and kennel were necessary that lie he might with propriety wear the sporting suit still lie advocated icardi manly sports and exercise to bring about physical perfection there was one exercise that seemed particularly suited to his case that was billiards his whole energies were divided between his toilet and this game the cue in hisoye his eye surpassed the glove the bat the tile oar and the gun he told his that lie ho played billiards for exercise while it was his invariable custom to ridd down town in the cars when by walking the same distance ho he might have bene fitted himself a fact of which he had often been reminded by his father who like many another had not forgotten tle tie the manner in hi which he had acquired his wealth and had a very great contempt foghis for his lazy son soil and his conceit one day they tiley got into rather an ani animated 0 discussion on the subject in which the father asserted that the son preached what ho he was not willing to practice andl and although an admirable theorist lie he showed showed no disposition to enter into any sport that require required dany any physical exertion As for billiards they are the greatest rea test humbug of them all how redi red ridiculous eulous culous that one should seek health and exercise in a close room filled with tile heat of burning I 1 gas and i in the tile way of liquors and ales now I 1 enjoy an occasional game of billiards myself but for a man to spend the greatest portion of his time in punching ivory balls around a green topped table to ascertain who shall pay for the game ame and the drinks I 1 to an unreasonable unreason unreasonable adie adle hour of the night and arising the next morning with aith a severe headache that should convince any one that such a course was not beneficial to the health if you cannot see the point just place your mother and sisters in the same position and then consider it ay in reply aug augustus eui eil asserted that he was not lazy that he did believe in physical exercise and if he had an opportunity port unity would prove it the next morning he beheld in the back yard a load of wood ar a new saw and axe at breakfast his father remarked I 1 1 I bought a load of wood yeA yeh yesterday erday w which I 1 lam iam am going to have sawed and and split into kin kindling wood as I 1 think it will be a great saving instead of buying it by the box at an exorbitant price with short measure to boot and as gus likes exercise lie he will wiil bina bind find fina it indeed a manly sport to saw and split it lt s the young man winced under the mischievous glances of his sisters who expressed their pleasure at his discomfiture by the escape of a giggle giggle at which their father frowned frowne darkly when they knew that he was pleased all the while it was a bitter pill for augustus but there was but one resort it would never do to retract his statements in regard to the necessity of physical exertion and to subject himself to the sarcasm sarcasm of his father or suffer the tormenting which he would receive from his mother and sisters so he went bravely to his work and in a half hour had blistered his hands and put himself quite out of breath after which he clicked slicked up walked down to his fathers office where he met a cordial reception from the parent who was inquiring to himself whether his son approved of the exercise he had prescribed him augustus had not been in the office but a short time before he began to busy himself by folding the letters which lay upon his fathers desk and after folding them to write upon them tile tiie names of the person from whom they were received and the date and file them away as the clerks had done much to the astonishment of those young men who began begar to fear that one of their situations might be vacated and filled by their employers son customers remarked the strange face and augustus received many introductions to a class of men whom he saw were much superior to the addle butterflies with whom he had beenen been n the habit of associating he reached home in time enough before the dinner hour to 6 get up a good appetite at the woodpile wood pile first sawing and then splitting as he llred tired tired of one or the other and sueh such an appetite has he had hadnot not manufactured by drugs and far poor 00 r li liquor t iau lau or under the guise of a popular b bitter i t r which only gnawed at the stomach but genuine hunger his stomach empty from irom mixed drinks craved for food it really seemed that augustus drew common sense from that woodpile wood pile for he grew more sensible a as the pile decreased business hours found nim him in his fathers offida office and what whitt he needed for exercise hard at work at sawing and splitting and to those young men who prate so much of the lack of exercise and ornament their rooms with unused boxing gloves foils indian clubs and dumb bells ells or seek it in iii a gymnasium or billiard room with bar attached we would recommend a mild course of saw sawing in g and splitting at their fathers we
