FISHING AMONG HEELS.
fhe Badly Embarrassed Youth Caught
Something at Each Dive.


A modest Cleveland youth an Adel-
bert undergraduate, boarded south side
,ar few evenings ago, and when he
Ieated himself earelessly dropped his
mall gripsack on the floor behind his
'eet. Presently the car began to fill up.
Most of the new passengers were girls,
Md as they came in one by one the
Adelbert man crowded along little and
D. got away from his gripsack. There
rere at least half dozen girls at his
eft, and it was in that direction that
ais grip was located.
Pretty soon the car neared his stop
ping place, and the Adelbert man be-
thought himself of his baggage. He put
MS hand to the f1oor-it wasn't there
that is, the grip WASH t there. He felt
little way to the left; he couldn't
each it.
Then he Strengthened up.

grip somewhere under here. " And he
love down again.
All he could feel was dainty boot
heels, two of them badly run down. He
reached little farther. Another boot

,asily.
Up came the young man again.
His oountenance was still more in
famed. This time be arose to his feet.
Its here somewhere, he murmur-
ID. IF you don't object, I'll try
again" Down he went and clawed
along still farther to the left.
"Ive got it," he muttered.
He pulled, but it didn't come.
Zone moment, he said, there it Is. "
Ono, it ism t, piped shrill soprano.
There was a brief struggle, and then
the bashful youth realized that he had
hold of the young woman's foot.
He stood up at this with a despairing
glare
Perhaps the girls were moved to pity
by his hopeless look perhaps they didn't
like the way the other passengers were
giggling. Anyway they shut1led around
and soon produced the missing bag.
And the youth with the scarlet face
scooted from the car. -Cleyeland Plain

The reason it is necessary to be we'll
covered while sleeping is that when the
body lies down it is the intention of ma
ture that it should rest, and the heart
especially should be relieved of its regu-
lar work temporarily. So that organ
makes ten strokes minute less than
when the body is i'll an upright posture.
This means 600 strokes in 60 minutes.
Therefore in the eight hours that man
usually spends i'll taking his nights rest
the heart is saved nearly 8, 600 strokes.
AS it pumps six ounces of blood with
each stroke, it lifts 80, 900 ounces less
of blood in this night session than it
would during the day, when man is
usually i'll an upright position. Now,
the body is dependent for it's warmth on
the vigor of the circulation, and as the
blood flows so much more slowly through
the veins when one is lying down the
warmth lost in the reduced circulation
must be supplied by extra coverings
