her healthy in mind and body. Natur-

OF course Webster was in demand by
those who could afford to pay for his
services. A sharp Nantucket man IS
said to have got the better Of the great
defender of the constitution in an
amusing way, however. He had a
small case which was to be tried at
Nantucket one week in June, and he
posted to Webster's Office in great
haste. II was a contest with neigh
Dor over matter of considerable local
interest. and his pride as a litigant
was ut stake. lie told Webster the
particulars and asked what he would
chlrge to conduct the case.
Why" said Webster you can't af-
ford to hire me | should have to stay
down there the whole week, and my
fee would lee more than the whole case
is worth. couldn't go down there for
less than $1,000 could try every
lease on the docket as we'll as one and
il wouldn't cost any more, for one case
would take my time for the entire
week anyway"
"All right, Mr. Webster" quickly re-
sponAed the Nantucketer Here's
your 81 900. You come down, and I'll
fix it so you can try every case"
Webster was so amused over this
proposition that he kept his word He
spent the entire week in Nantucket
and appeared OH one side or the other
in every case that came up for bearing.
The shrewd Nantucketer hired Daniel
out to all his friends who were in liti-

JAILED FOR DEBT.
At One Time the Law Was Severe on
Those Who Owed Money.

nose VINO OWSu mOUSJs
In nearly every country until COM
paratively recent times debtors have
been subject to Imprisonment After
the panic of 1925 lOl ,OSp writs for
debt were issued In England. In 1890
1000 persons were sent to London
prisons for debt, and on Jan. l, 1910,
LOO persons were held for debt In
England and Wales. 1000 In Ireland
and less than 100 in Scotland. From
time to time notifications in the laws
governing the Imprisonment of debtors
have been made, so that fewer debtors
are imprisoned for this crime each
year.
In 1920 there were 1900 debtors In
prison in Massachusetts, 10000 in New
York, 1000 in Pennsylvania, 5000 in
Maryland and like proportion In 9th
er states Many Of these persons were
Jailed for debts of 81 The law pro-
viding for the Imprisonment Of men
who could not pay their debts was
shown to be impracticable by statistics
taken from Philadelphia, where in 1923
there were 1,0S5 debtors imprisoned for
debts amounting to $4,000. The ex-
pense of keeping these persons In con
inement was $4,000, which was paid
by the city. and the amount recovered
by this method was S295.
Imprisonment for debt was abolished
by congress in the United States In
1888, though this measure was not
fully enforced until 1S39.-New York
