How the Heart Beats.

A normal heart, from long before
birth to death, beats roughly once a
second, and if it stops beating at any
time Of day or night Or weekday or
Sunday for as long as sixty seconds it
never begins beating again. The nor
NAL beat begins at the top of the heart
and runs down to the bottom of the
heart with the regularity Of a toss
running down the length of a rope.
When the toss, however, instead of
running regularly down the length of
the rope, scatters it's force and merely
sets the rope shaking feebly through
out its length it loses it's force, and
in the same way when the beat of the
heart instead of running regularly and
easily down from the top of the heart
to the bottom merely sets the heart
feebly a-quiver we have the condition
called filtration.

After he had been sworn in as q
juror at the trial of Frank Mezzamora
and Ricco Santerelli, who are charged
with a serious offense, Edwin D.
Wheelock of 557 West One Hundred
n Twenty-fourth street, New York,
refused to serve.
why is it you do not want to

Because I am utterly opposed to
the trial, conviction and punishment
OF these young men," answered Wheel
ock, who is said to be a Wall street
broker. Society itself, which toler-
ates conditions that breed criminals,
should be tried and punished"
suppose n of your clerks should
steal from you. Would you want him
punished?"
mo. I hold that society is the real
criminal in such cases. There should
be a complete change in the conditions
in society,""
DO you know that your attitude in
declining to serve has put the county
to a useless expense of at least $1,000,
II that it may cause a mistrial?" the
judge asked.
Il can't help that, your honor"
Wheelock replied. 81 would never sit
in a case Of this kind. If society were
on trial I would sit gladly"
"This is the most extraordinary
statement l have ever heard from a
juror" Judge Mcintyre said. IF I
believed you really knew what you

you in contempt Of court and punish
you severely, but you are so illogical
and unsound in your views that 1 am
merely going to discharge you from

ALL BOW 10 SUPERSTITION
At Least, Few Of the Fair Sex Have
Not a Firm Belief in ~r.farriage
Charms.

In the great Cave Of the Winds, in
Colorado, a place visited each year
by scores of tourists, in one corner
the visitor is always impressed by a
curious thing that looks like q mat
tress and that turns out, on closer
acquaintance, to be an immense pile
of hairpins, combs, barettes and hair
ornaments.
1t seems that there is a superstition
afoot that every widow and unmarried
woman who leaves a hairpin or hair
ornament there will be married within
the year and, though most Of the
women who visit the cave laugh at the
story and look very incredulous, not a
few surreptitiously shake out an in
visible or two before leaving, "iust
for luck"
Nor is this the only mute testimony
to the ever-feminine credulity and be-
lief in marriage charms. At Ramona's
Wedding Place, also out West, is a
well, the bottom Of which CLEANS
bright with countless pennies and 9TH
er coins, left there by passing visitors
who were told that tossing a coin
down the well would bring them each
a husband within a year. So the pen
MES accumulated, and already there
Is a small fortune lying at the bottom
of Ramona's well.
Nor is this superstition Of travel
ers the only evidence in the case. One
has only to see the young girls (and
some of the old), waiting to catch
the brides bouquet at a wedding in
order to be the next bride, to know
that they are all ready to test out any
husband-getting charm. And one may
look in vain for the single girl brave
enough to take the "last piece Of
cake or candy on the plate and thus
run the risk Of becoming an cold

Payroll Thief confesses Crime to Save
Innocent Man.
Qualms Of conscience had troubled
James Reynolds since last July, when
he fell for temptation and fled with
the payroll Of the Mercantile Lunch
company, 1872 Franklin street, New
York. Since then he had been on self
imposed exile, visiting large cities and
living the life of a king. He learned
that Robert Hartley, a chauffeur, had
been sent "over the road" for two
years for his (Reynolds') crime. He
decided on the moment to give him
self up and face the music.
This was the story he unfolded to
Sergts. John T. Vincent and M. j. Car
ney at Central station, Pittsburgh,
to whom he surrendered and asked to
be sent back to New York.
"Hartley's got a wife and kids; /
couldn't stand to have him serve the
sentence which rightfully belongs to
me-" said Reynolds. II have no kin,
nobody dependent on me; I guess I
can stand it,"
Reynolds is forty years old.

COMMUNICATION.
Editor Farmers Press :

GOlLOr + aTIDeES TEesS
Last week we nuted that the Re-
publican had a small article which
had for its subject Langdon and it's
future and it would appear that
the retired farmer, who now a days is
a factor were to play a part in it.
We readily agree with the editor Of
Republican that Langdon can make
and have for itself a successful flu
ture, providing that it's business
men and townsfolks show the right
amount of common horse sense in
their attitude toward the farm ers
tributary to the town.
Right at the present time we find
that in the town there are some fac
tors that are doing a great work for
the upbuilding Of the town and in
this regard we have particularly in
mind the churches of Langdon and the
activity to be found here in church
life. The respective pastors, Rev.
Langdon of the Methodist church and
Key. Faucette. of the Presbyterian.
are both typical of the best to be
found in the state. Rev. Langdon
we have found to be a regular artist
in hia line and though comparatively
a young mar has a successful minis
terial career ahead of him. Rev,
Faucette, we do not as yet know per.
sonally but his work here of a little
owe a year is spoken of most highly
by those who have been privileged
to observe the efforts that have
gained his popularity with the peo-
pie generally.
Now, these things 60 far toward
helping to build mp a town. but there
is still another factor to be consider.

TRAGEDY IN INCREASED GI..TH
Man May Smile at His Rotundity, but
to Woman 1t Is a Matter
of Terror.

A fat man is usually a jolly sort Of
an individual who accepts the world
as the same sort of a joke as the world
considers him. Girth may worry a man
occasionally because it is an annoy
ance, but with the modern woman it
Ferges upon tragedy. AS physicians
If they would talk freely-can tell you,
1t is a worry to them that frequently
leads to ruined health, insanity or the
grave. the New York Sun says.
1t is possible for a man to grow fat
gracefully. At least he can subdue his
habits, stop running for trains, give up
h1a. golf and spend most Of his time in
p~esRerous poses. His tailor can easily
arrange his clothing into well known
and accepted lines.
The aSe of the woman is different.
Fashion binds her as with a chain.
There are no stylish frocks for stout
women. The fashion calls for slim fig
ureS and trim ankles. Waists and hips
are taboo. There are no sleeves capa-
Bile of concealinS overfleshed arms.
Man can adapt his clothes to his fig.
ure, but woman must adapt her figure
to the clothes or else shamelessly adj
nit that she cannot wear what is
fashionable.
1t was not always &C. In another
generation the stout woman had a
well-defined place the "dowager
type" it was sometimes called. The
woman who made the best biscuits and
cooked the most savory chicken was
always a rotund sort Of person who
never minded it when people came un
eXpectedly around at dinner time. She
was the one children fiocked to fol-
sympathy and the n who seemed tt
make the world brighter wherever she
went.

Through the Junior Red Cross the

They have set up orphans homes in
France, school colonies in Belgium and

They are sending dozens Of young

nearly 500 wards of American Juniors.
Last winter a thousand French chill

the devasted regions were sent by the
Junior Red Gross to spend the cold
months in warmer parts Of France.
AT the same time five thousand little
Belgians were having a hot lunch every
