The heart is the pump which keeps
all the machinery of the human body

neer finds valve leaking in pump
under his care he stops the engine
and introduces a new valve if the de-

The $1s fine.

Courtrooms are not free from su.
perstition," a lawyer remarked For
instance. it seems to be an unwritten
law of the bench that nobody shall
ever be fined $13. In my seventeen
years experience at the New York
bar / have seen offenders fined nearly
every other amount from 81 to $1,000,
but no judge has ever defied fate by
imposing a $13 fine.
Nothing but respect for supersti.
ton prevented him from doing it. II
was the logical fine. Several times
have labored in the lost cause of un-
fortunate clients whose fine from the
standpoint of damages inflicted should
have been $13. but the judge had not
the hardihood to name it; he always
undershot or overshot the mark an6
made $12 or $14"

confessed, but he said II was his belief

The reserves from all the precincts in ths
city were rushed to the scene OF the troubles
and when the Italians saw them coming
they broke and ran for places OF shelter.
The police came upon the strikers In thsI
park and ordered them TO dispense. Wheul
the men sulked the police drew their re-
volvers and fired in the air. with the evil

strikers Instead of being frightened thel
strikers pulled revolvers and returned thSt
