i Two of his fraternity "brothers" sat
on either side as a bodyguard to her

She explained her knowledge of

A Point Tl;E.t Won a Lawsuit For
W! 311am KcKlr.ley.
A year or two after William McKIn
ley had begun the practice of the law
at Canton. O.. lie distinguished himself
In a humorous fashion In one of . his
first successful cases. As often hap-
i pens In court, the humor wac not mere
i ly for the sake of the Joke, but for serl
! ous purpose, Mr. Edward T. Roe In
! "The Life Work of William McKlnley"
toils the story. .
The case was a suit against a sur-
Htll ClIraUBK or Stair Moantta
Will Strengthen the Organ.
It 13 ftot many years ago that the be
lief prevailed that a sufferer from
heart disease waB in constant peril
whenever he moved and that the nearer
he apprcaebed absolute rest the better
It was for his heart. This is still troa
in respect to certain forms cf heart dis
easethose due to actual disease or de
generation of the heart muscles but
when the disease is in tile valves, as it
is ln the majority of cases, the modern
teaching is that properly regulated ex
ercise is -beneficial. This is founded
upon the common sense view that the
heart Is like other muscles in that It
can be strengthened by exercise to
meet increased calls upon it.
When the valves of a pump get out
of order. It requires greater force to
move a given quantity of water. If
this force can pe applied, it will make
up for the defect in the valves. The
same, principle holds good in the case
of the diseased heart; the valvular de
fect must be made good "compensa
tion" is the medical term for this proc-ess-by
increased strength in the heart
nitisele.
The heart must be able not only to
meet the ordinary, everyday extra
strain this it does automatfcally, as it
were, by the unaided efforts of nature
but it must be stronger thau neces
sary, just as It Is In health, to meet
some extra strain caused by illness, a
sudden nervous shock or some abso
lutely necessary exertion. It Is evident,
therefore, that a diseased heart must
to assure the safety of the patient be
strengthened beyond the requirements
of a quiet life.
This Is accomplished in various ways,
but none is better for the purpose than
hill climbing or stair climbing, the for
mer for pJeasant days, the latter for r j,,., tho o-nil of th bin, and
I bad weather. The exercise should, of .i,in rro mKSf1 tin after lir.e cf
oourpc, betaken uuder the direction of whitewash and finally was over the
a physician, ror it can easily De over--. lRSt one the hoe j)ack at hi3 u?es
aone. in wuien case cue or tue uau con
ditions against which It la the object
cf the exercise to provide will be arti
ficially produced and the heart will be
overtaxed lefore it i strong enough to
withstand the extra strain. Youth's

McSweenuy l.ronxht his client Into
court and had hlta expose the injured
limb to the Jury. It wa.s very crooked,
and the case looked bad for the sur
geon. Hut McKlnley had both his eyes
op.?n. as usual, and fixed them keenly
on the other man's leg. " ' ,;
As soon as the plaintiff waa turned
ever to him be asked that the other leg
should also be bared. The plaintiff and
McSweeney objected vigorously, but
the Judge ordered It dene. Then It ap
peared that his second leg vas st!ll
more crooked than that which the sur
geon had set.
"My client seems to have done better
by this man than nature Itself did,"
fcahl McKiniy. "and I move that the
suit be dismissed, with a recommenda
tion to the plaintiff that he have the
other leg broken and then set by the
surgeon who set the first one."

FLOWER AND TREE.
Secondhand Book Hsblt.
One of the novel habits of the pres
ent day is one that takes one to second-
Planting a few trees every' fall or
spring, as may be convenient. keepsup
the supply of fruit.
The American persimmon mskes a
handsome tree ornamentally consider
ed. It has dark green leaves tSat re
main on late ln the fall.
Carnations do cot thrive in the shade
and will not tolerate the presence of
rank manure. Tljey are easily grown
in any good garden soil.
One secret of getting flowers from
pottc-d plants is to let them get pot
bound. When a plant can no longer
keep on growing, it turns its energies
toward producing flowers.
By yearly attention to pruning and
by good feeding a shrub may be re
newed from season to season and kept
always strong. Old and weak wood
should always be removed.
Ammonia Is a plant stimulant, not a
food. While it is useful to force plants
Into bloom and growth after the soil is
exhausted, a fertilizer must be applied
or the plant will use up fts own vital
ity ln bloom.

A clerk whose duty it is to stand at
the front of the secondhand bookstore

is the one who first made note of this
queer habit. He noticed that the same
