A lawyer was examining a rathe.

refused to give a plain answer to
any of the lawyers questions. At
last in replying to n question the
witness answered that he was I'M

mean to tell me hat you could pos
sibly ask me a question to which |
could not answer yes or no?"

your estimation you are really as

Getting What You Want.

You ordered your steak well

not like rare steak. You could have
sent the steak back and had it the
way you wanted it. You didn't take
the trouble. You wanted well done
steak, but you didn't want it
enough.
That is the way lots of people go
through life. They wish to be pros
porous, but they do not wish it
enough to make the self sacrifices
necessary for saving. They wish to

would increase their knowledge.
Yet the old German proverb, 1What

THE PONY EXPRESS.
A Daring Young Rider Who Won q
Name For Himself.

Historians of the frontier tell
many remarkable stories of adyen-
ture of the pony express riders who
blazed the westward way for SETTLE
ment. Among these there is no
story more thoroughly typical,
though there may be other stories
more remarkable, than that of a
young rider who was assigned to
the important task Of carrying over
his division Il large sum Of money.
In that mysterious manner known
only to the frontier life the news of
this valuable message was spread
abroad. The rider, realizing the dam
ger Of his trust, fastened this mon
ey to the underside of his saddle
blanket and consigned in its stead
heavily padded envelopes in the
saddlcbags. Carrying his revolver
ready for instant use, this rider
raced in the face of certain danger.
In a lonesome spot in a valley, in
spite of his nerve and expectations,
he was startled by being confronted
by two men who sprang out from

HEART TROUBLES.
MANY Forms Cause Acute Discomfort
Yet Are Not Dangerous.

Yet Are Not Dangerous.
There are many forms Of so
rallied functional heart troubles in
which no organic disorder is pres
ent ana the sufferers life is not
mcDaced or shortened and yet
which give rise to the most acute
discomfort and dread, for it is Lard
to convince the average man who is
conscious Of some abnormaIitE IN
the action Of his heart that he Is
not in danger of sudden death.
4. nervous or irritable heart may
manifest itself in a variety Of un-
pleasant ways. Of these paIpIt&tjon
is one of the most unpleasant. Of
course palpitation of the heart IS a
SYMPTOM Of most forms Of serious
heart disease, but it can and often
does occur in an otherwise perfect
Iy healthy heart and is recognized
as one Of the most frequent forms
of heart neurosis, or nervousness of
the heart.
PaIpitations may be brought
about by a variety Of causes. my
sudden emotion, especially that Of
intense fear, may cause an attack,
as may also some forms of indiges-
ton, particularly when associated
with the formation of gas on the
stomach. 1t is also often found in
conjunction with an anaemic condi-
ton, and especially in that form of
anaemia called c~hlorosis, which af-
fectS young girls.
Sometimes palpitations Of the
heart are easily cured, and some
times they are very persistent, but
they do not of themselves threaten
life.
Tachycardia, or rapid heart beat,
and b~radycardia, or slow heart, are
also forms of nervous heart trouble.
In taking account of very rapid or
a very slow pulse it must always be
remembered hat the personal equa-
ton comes in. Some persons have
normally a heart action that in 9TH
ers would be abnormal. Napoleon
is a we'll known instance of normal
b~radycardia. His physician records
the fact that the emperor's pulse
averaged only forty beats to the
minute.
The neurasthenic heart is recog-
nized because it accompanies a gen.
eral neurasthenic state. The pa
tent is likely to be irritable and
fdgety and often suffers from in
somnia and other neurasthenic
symptoms.
In this form, as, indeed, in all the
forms of nervous heart trouble, the
treatment must be directed rather
to a building up of the general con-
dition than to the treating of the
heart muscle alone. Everything
that tones up the general system
also tones up the heart. The life
should be regular, quiet and pru-
dent. Especial care should be taken
not to overtax the digestive powers,
and overwork in any direction
should be checked.
This is also true in the cases OF
irritable heart, so often found
among young people, especially
young men, who have been overdo-
ing in athletic work.-Youth's Com
nanion.

Which meant hat the audacious
soul of Mr.. Devine was humbled. but
not crushed.
He had tried to demonstrate to Mr..
Hewington that his estimate of Cherub
Devine as one of the socially unfit was
a mistaken judgment. But evidently
he had demonstrated nothing of the
kind. The Hewingtons had given him
no chance to show what he could do
in that line. Well. should he quit
then? Mr.. Devine allowed himself to
smile grimly. Almost any one in Wall
street could have told you what that
meant.
