Bailey FIRST appeared In politics In
Texas as n delegate TO a congressional
convention. He, OF course, spoke elo-
Quently for his man. There was a
deadlock, and so great an impression
had Bailey made that some one pro
posed to nominate him. and a STAN.
pede started In his favor. Bailey felt
in honor bound. however, to stand by
his candidate and tried to stem the
tide for himself, but all In vain. Final
~ an inspiration struck him. He an
nounced that he had not reached the
constitutional age OF twenty five, and
as a result his name was dropped, and
the man he favored was nominated.
Bailey failed TO say, however. that he
would have been twenty-five before no
would have had to take bis seat, X
elected.
The way Joe Bailey finally got his
nomination to congress Is told in the
following anecdote:
He was again a delegate to the con-
ventiOn and on the way met an old
farmer
Going to the convention" asked
Bailey. Yep" said the farmer. Ever
hear Of young lawyer named Bailey
around hereT" asked Bailey. Nope"
said the farmer. Good speaker, bright
fellow, | understand suggested Bal
ley. "S'pose So" said the farmer.
Eyes" continued Bailey, "and he will
be over there today, and I'll tell you
what well do. Well call on him to
make a speech. You see all your
friends, tell them about Bailey, and
Wen cell on him"
The farmer said "all right" No more
was said about the matter until there
was a lapse in the convention. Sud
denly the farmer got up and suggested
that the convention hear from Mr. Bal
ley, "a risin' young lawyer of these
dlggin's," ne said, AN a Teller who
talks like putin out fire" Bailey
Bailey! Bailey more than dozen
yells went up, and Bailey came forth
He made one of the hottest speeches
OF his life. and the upshot of the whole
thing was that the ''risin' young law
yer Of these diggin's' got the nomina
ton for congress.

When the Heart Rests,

The heart, like every other working
part of the body, has its periods of
rest or it could not long perform its
functions. The periods of rest are
shorter and occur more frequently in
the case of the heart than of any other
organ. The action of the heart in
beat occupies about eight-tenths of a
second, and of this four is rest,
the work of contraction only occupying
half of the time. The stomach, eyelids
and other working parts have their
periods of rest, the brain, which rests
during sleep, having the longest AMI
least frequent.

This statement was confirmed as late
as 1857 by an eyewitness. Thus per

an official inquiry was made into the
matter, between 1,5O0 and 1,600 war

the sword Of Frederick was not found.
