Now take another squint at Hazel an' Hattie. They're regular farm furniture, good to breed from when we get to that valley of the moon. An' they're heavy enough to turn right into the plowin', too."
Only one man of the thousands I saw was proportionably shaped; and one woman was white, an Albino, I wish I could forget her bluey whiteness! and I saw boys doing Sandow exercises, evidently trying to bring up their biceps poor little devils how can they? They haven't time they will be married and reproducing other little fragilities like themselves, before they are out of their teens!
Over the fireplace hangs a large photograph showing the Edison cement plant in its entire length, flanked on one end of the mantel by a bust of Humboldt, and on the other by a statuette of Sandow, the latter having been presented to Edison by the celebrated athlete after the visit he made to Orange to pose for the motion pictures in the earliest days of their development.
Bein' rich you'll have a somewhat easier time, but it's when you've got mountains of work, when you ain't feelin' as strong as Sandow for it, an' have one child at your skirts an' another in your arms, an' your husband to think women ain't intended for nothink better, that this is God's design for 'em, like most men do, it's then that married life ain't the heaven some young girls think it's goin' to be.

Many people imagine that every spiritual master has, or should have, the health and strength of a Sandow. The assumption is unfounded.

"And so it was that I became the nineteenth member of the Santa Rosa Tribe.
Another, which they called I shivering of the chest, a sort of drawing in and out of their breath, causing a vibratory motion. Then they give a sort of Sandow performance all in time to the music. They first start the muscles of their legs showing, then the arms, and down the sides of the chest.
"No, you be that," said Tom, unselfishly. "No, sir; you've got to. I'll be a sand piper, and play the court anthems." "All right," said Marjorie, "and Harry can be a sand crab, for he just scuttles through the sand all the time. What'll Dick be?" King looked at Dick.
