What Was Lacking.

A man who had served two terms in
congress was making a campaign for
a third term. In the course Of
speech in the town hall at Broomcorn
Junction, a village near the further
boundary Of his district, he said:
1T is true, fellow citizens, that I
have not always been able to do as
much as should like to do in the
matter Of internal improvements In

What tho Heart Does.

This so-called most delicate Of or.

by 3h by 21s inches in size. II
weighs from to 10 ounces, and its
capacity is from to 6 ounces In each
vsntricle. It is hollow muscular or.

pounds Of blood every minute. Gaze
on these figures and wonder! Six-
teen tons Of blood pass through it

Smoke "TWIst."

Mr.. ]. NJ. Barrie, the popular nov.
elist and playwright, has glorifled to-
bacco more than once, but on GER
tain occasion he tried to induce
smoker to desist. 1t happened thus:
Mr.. Barrie returned to his rooms
one day and discovered his page boy
putting hard at dirty clay pipe.

very bad for you to smoke that coarse
black twist. You will make yourself
old before your time"
And 80 he went on till he had deliv-
cred long and what he believed to
be a telling lecture. A day or two
later the youth left without giving no
tice, and shortly afterward Mr.. Bar
rie brought some friends to his fiat.
Promising them q special treat, he
went to a cabinet where he kept .
store Of very choice cigars. You can
imagine his chagrin when he discov-
cred that the cigars had vanished, and
in their place was the page boys clay
pipe and the following note:
Dear Sir: l agree with you that
1t is bad for q boy to smoke twist.
will not smoke any more twist till
