Exercise for the Lungs.

At the prcsen. era, when physical cul-
ture is part Of Inc curriculum of our
most intellectual ss.:nols, and is so gen.
orally regarded ss necessary element
toward supplying AID maintaining the
sound BODY for the soand mind, it is
worth while to con5:Ger recent state
ment of eminent physicians, that the
mere exercise of singing is great help
toward the prevention, cure or allevia-
ton of lung diseases. In the incipient
state of such diseases it is even said to
he a powerful aid to cure. 1t is, I'M
deed, somewhat curious that the medical
fraternity have not exploited the theory
of lung exercise by singing more fully
heretofore than they are now doing, for
the action of calisthenics in strengthen
inc muscular tissues has for years been
a universal practice, although, as mat
ter of fact, the mere physical exercise
of singing brings into play an extraor-
dinary number of muscles that can
hardly be suspected of action in con-
nection with the throat expansion. 1t
was disclosed by statistics in Italy some
wears AGO. according to the New York
Tribune. that vocal artists were usually
long lived and healthy, and that brass
instrument players, who bring their
LUNGS and chest into unusual activity,
have not had a consumptive victim
among them. No matter how thin or
weak the voice, children or young people
should be encouraged to indulge IN
sone. There can be no happier medi
cine. and if hearers sometimes sufer'
they should be encouraged and strength.

Knapsacks for School Girls.

The tendency of young girls carrying
their school books under their arms, OF
in bags or portfolios hung from the arm
is said to be to distort the figure. Ger
man doctors are exhorting parents te
provide young girls between the ages OF
II and IA with knapsacks for carrying
their school books. In many parts OF
Germany this equipment is already in
use, and to the unaccustomed eye OF

and wrong of slavery, and with the
promptitude and zeal which has ever
characterized him, he at once set to
work to bring about the emancipation of
the slaves. Of'cOurse it meant some
thing to be an abolitionist in a slave
holding community, and Mr.. Clay vir-
tually carried his life in his hands.
Brave as a lion, he never shrank before
any obstacle, however formidable
which might oppose him. He more
than once made appointments to speak
in favor of emancipation and fearlessly
went to fulfill them, although fully ap-
prised that plots and conspiracies had
been laid to assassinate him if he should
do so. He was an utter stranger to fear.
Once, while making a speech from a
table set in the streets of the little village
of Taxtown, near his home, man
named Turner, who was standing by the
table in front of him, pretended to
take offence at some statement made
by Mr.. Clay, and cried out: "Now,
Cash, that is G-d-lie, and you know
itr' Instantly Mr.. Clay threw his hand
over his shoulder, and, drawing large
bowie knife from beneath the back of
his coat, jumped from the table, slashing
Turner with tremendous cut as he de-
scended. Turner fell weltering in his
gore, and some unknown man in the
thick crowd stabbed Mr.. Clay in the
back, inflicting wound from which he
recovered only after along confinement,
and from which he still occasionally
suffers. Wounded as he was he fought
his way through the crowd to house
near by, where he was cared for. MIR.
Turner was carried to another room in
the same house, where he died, after the
lapse of some hours. Before dying he
effected reconciliation with Mr.. Clay,
and asked to be forgiven for what he
had done. He made an ante-mortem
statement to the effect that plot had
been laid to aggravate Mr.. Clay to make
an assault and then to assassinate him,
and that he, in accordance with the plot,
had attempted to provoke Mr.. Clay. He
asked that the law should hold Mr.. Clay
guLtless in the matter, and guiltless he
was held accordingly.
Upon another occasion, while Mr.. Clay
was speaking at Russell's cave, near Lex
ington, he was set upon by gang of
men, who were headed by brave and
desperate man named Brown. Mr.. Clay
boldly engaged them all, cutting right
and left with his trusty bowie knife
with hearty good will, and perfectly
undismayed by the overwhelming num-
bers who beset him.
Browns allies soon became dismayed
and retreated, leaving him to engage Mr..
Clay by himself. Brown himself, how
ever, was good game, and fought desper-
ately as long as he could stand. Finally,
when slashed almost into shOe-strings,
he fell, and the fight ended. Brown died
sometime afterward, but before he died,
disgusted with the pusilanimity Of his
comrades, he, too, made clean breast
of it and revealed the facts of the plot
which had been laid for Mr.. Clay's
death.-Washington Post.

Aubrey'S Famous Ride.
"The greatest physical achievement
ever accomplished in this country, said
John F. Graham at the Glenarm to a
reporter Of the Denver News. twas the
ride of F. x. Aubery from the plaza of
Santa Fe, n. NJ, to the public square at
Independence, Mo-, a distance of nearly
eight hundred miles, through country
inhabited by warlike Indians, a large
part of which was then sandy desert"
Being urged to give an account Of the
great ride, Graham proceeded: at was
about the year 1921 that Aubrey gave
his wonderful test of human endurance
before which all other attempts of the
kind pale into insigni6cance. He was a
short. heavy set man, thirty-eight years
of age, in the prime of manhood and
strength. His business for ten years as
Santa Fe trader had made him per-
fectly familiar with the trial and
all the stopping places. He was a
perfect hOrseman, and although
there were great riders in those days.
none of them cared to dispute the palm
with Aubrey. On wager of $1,000 he
undertook to ride alone from Santa Fe
to Independence inside of six days. 1t
was thirty-nine years ago that he under
took the terrible feat. 1t was to be the
supreme effort of his life, and he sent a
half dozen of the swiftest horses ahead
to be stationed at different points for use
in the ride. lie left Santa Fe on sweep
ing gallop, and that was the pace
he kept up during nearly every
thour of the time until he fell
fainting from his foam covered horse
lin the square at independence. No man
could keep with the rider, and he would
have killed every horse in the west
rather than have failed in theundertak-
ing. IttOok him just five days and four
teen hours to perform the feat and it
cost the lives of several of his best
horses. After being carried into room
at the old hotel at Independence, Au-
brey lay for forty eight hours in a dead
stupor before he came to his senses. He
would never have recovered from the
shock had it not been for his wonderful
constitution. The feat was regarded by
western men as the greatest exhibition
Of strength and endurance ever known
on the plains"
"What became of Aubrey after
:yards?" was asked.
after his ride he became the lion of
the west and was dined and feted at St.
Louis as though he had been conquer
ing hero, He finally met his death at
the hand Of friend. One day in 1854,
in an alteration with Major Richard H.
Weightman, the rider was stabbed to the
heart and dropped dead in Santa Fe
saloon. He was buried in an unknown
grave, and all that is remembered of Au-
brey is his remarkable ride. Weight
man was tried upon the charge of muir
der, but was acquitted, and, joining the
confederate army, was killed at Wilson's
Creek while leading his brigade into
battle"

Blizxard COMPLICATIONS.

Blizzard Complications.
A group Of old timers were ticking
about the weather, and the conversation
carrid them back to the great storms OF
years ago.
~The queerest combination I ever.
knew" said the Judge refectively, "was'
q blizzard, death, suspected murder and
an attempted lynching that only mis-
carried because the subject missed a
train.
"The winter of 1880 as you all recol-
lect, was very severe one, and many
persons living on the prairie were frozen
to death. Some time before man
named Crandal had moved from Morris
to farm in southeastern Dakota. One;
day big storm came up, and Mrs
Crandall, who happened to be on the
plain with her youngest child, was
caught in the blizzard and both frozen
to death. Mrs. Crandalrs parents lived
in Morris, and when the sad news other
death came her father started to Dakota
to bring back the remains of his daugh-
ter and grandchild. Crandan and his
wife had not got along very well to
gether, and in some way rumOrs OF foul
play crept out.
'The next afternoon the bereaved
father arrived in Morris with his dead.
The bodies were frozen solid, and ar
rangementS were made to thaw them
out. When this was done Mrs. Gran
dalls body was examined. A deep
wound in her side was found. 1t didn't
take the people of Morris long to make
up their minds that murder had been
committed. Crandall, it was thought,
had arrived that night with his surviv-
ing child and gone to the house of his
mother, who lived near the village. A
lynching party was organized in short
order and armed with ropes, etc. The
house was visited and thoroughly
searched, but Crandall was not to be
found. His mother insisted that he had
not arrived, but she was not believed.
Finally the crowd gave. up the search
and went home disgusted.
"Now comes the strange part of the
story. The next morning the body of
Mrs. Crandall had been entirely thawed
out, and another examination was made.
There was no sign of the broad cash
that Mortified the people the night be-
fore. There were no bruises, no signs
of foulplay There's mystery for you!
But it developed after while that the
flesh had folded over and frozen to-
gether, giving the exact appearance Of
a long and horrible cash. When the
body thawed out the 'gash' disappeared.
l tell you, the would-be lynchers of the
night before felt pretty cheap. In an
hour or two Crandall himself arrived in
town ON the morning train. He had
missed the train the night before. Phat
was all that saved him from a lyuching.
OF course he could not help hearing
about what had been going on; what he
said or thought never knew, but you
can guess"

who is still living, full of years and
full of honors. Trouble has been brew
ing between the.twO men for sometime.
Mr.. Clay, as he says himself in his
autobiography, spent nearly all his
leisure time while in camp sharpening
and polishing his sword This fact led
Marshall to refer to Clay's sword as
''the sharpened blade of an assassin"
One day, while the regiment was en-
camped on the banks of the river, Mr..
Clay and Mr.. Marshall met and had
some words, which gradually grew
more and more heated, until finally Mr..
Gray becoming exasperated, lugged out
his sharpened blade and made terrific
onslaught on Mr.. Marshall. The latter,
''taken all of heap" as it were, turned
and fled for dear life, Clay following at
his heels and brandishing his formidable
blade. The bank of the river was soon
reached, and Mr.. Marshall, making
choice of two evils, incontinently
plunged into the water and came near
drowning, but was rescued py some of
the soldiers As he stood dripping upon
the bank he suddenly said, with in
imitable wit; "At any rate, old Cash
can't say that I called out, Help me,
Cassiua Of ainkv"
The life u Cassius NJ. Clay is almost
equal to q romance, checkered, as it has
been, by the shifting light and shades of
fortune. Born in slave state the scion
