FOR several equally Important reasons
the front muscles of the upper part
of the body should be developed
systematically. - and continually. First
and most obviously, thej- should be exer
cli'ed for the protection, they afford to the
entire body against physical violence of
any sort and In emergencies.
A man who possesses sturdy muscles
in the fore and upper arms is well
equipped to save himself from almost any
dancer that may threaten. If his office
building catches fire and he Id on the
sixth floor, with all avenues of escape
shut off except a rope or a fireman's lad
der, he need feel no hesitancy in descend
ing rope or ladder, for his arm muscles,
having been properly taken care of, "will
give his fingers the power to grasp firm
ly the fragile support that will take him
rom Impending death to a place of safety.
If the muscles over the front of his
chest are exercised, hard blows in this
region will have no, or scarcely any, ef
fect on the actions of heart and lungs.
Again, if a man is placed in a situation
where his salvation depends on his ability
to push hard or to clinch, these two big
muscles, technically called the pectoralls
ONCE there was a moving Target who
was strong on the Brotherhood of
Man.
He ran a little Sunshine Factory all of
his own. When it came to scattering
SeccYj of Kindness, the Farm Drill was a
Poor Second.
Every time he started down Town he
ou.u ia v -bb . ; " w.a
sides of the Street and glad-hand all cf his
Acquaintances. i
From time to time he joined Fraternal
Organizations and tool; blistering Oatho
that he would always love his Fellow-Man
and stand for any Touch within Reason.
Consequently a good many people found it
cheaper to send fcr him than to hire a
Professional Nurse. He would travel
Miles in order to have the Pleasure of
sitting up with a Corpse. And he was one
cf the handiest Pall-Bearers in the Bus!
ners. Anyone who happened to be nursing a
I-Jard-Luck Story would hunt up sym
pathetic Jasper and give him the Grip
and then weep on his Shoulder. Usually
he promised to do what he could to square
Matters, even though he had to cut in
where he wasn't wanted. In flying around,
trying to reinstate Xo-Goods who had lost
their Job3 and secured Salaried Positions
for Nice Fellows who were willing to do
anything except Work, he got many a
Jolt, but he was not discouraged.
One of his regular Assignments wa3 to
arbitrate a Domestic Scrap, merely out of
the Goodness of his Heart.
In this way he managed to reunite a
number of Couples who were afterward j
sorry that they had been reuncd and
what they said about him would get the
Blue Pencil if inserted at this Point.
When a kind-hearted Herring starts out
to be a Relief Bureau and First Aid to the
Injured and a portable Home for the
Friendless, nobody tries to take the Job
away from him. His Acquaintances do
what they can to boost his Game.
Therefore, when any one in that Com
munity sought out a Busy Man of Affairs
and began to unwrap his Tale of Woe and '
offer to exhibit his Wounds, the B. M. of
A. would say, "Here, I'll give you a letter
of Introduction to my old friend Jasper.
Kc is a Samaritan from away back."
It came about that Jasper's Outer Office
was frequently coagulated with a Choice
Assortment of Pan-Handlers and all the
short-winded Brothers who want to hitch
on to somebody's else Pull, as they say
in Boston.
At times Jasper would become weary of
having Folks come along and turn their
Private Griefs over to him, but he did
not want to become a Cynic and lose his
Faith In Human Nature. He was fre
quently Stung, but still he could not re
sist any Appeal 'that was backed up by a
few Weeps.
In the Course of Time he came Into
quite a Bundle of Money and then all the
Bread that he had cast on the Waters
came back to him a Bakery at a time.
These whom he had succored came around
to Sucker him.
A Promoter whose Schemes he had guar
anteed, because the Man's Children needed
Shoes, now had a Chance to show his
Gratitude. He let Jasper in on the Ground
Floor of a Company organized to manu
facture an Automobile that could be
turned out of the Shop for $35 and would
run SO miles on a pint of Gasoline.
Gentlemen who were getting along with
out Overcoats came in to see him about
Mining Stock that was sure to touch Par
Uy January 1st. The only reason they
came to him first, instead of tackling
John W. Gates, was that he had always
been a True Friend and they wanted to
put him next -to a Good Thing.
After one or two of these Gift Enter
prises had been slipped to him, he began
to back water and be a trifle Leary. Yet
he found- it very Hard to be discourteous
to one who came in and did the Brother
Act. Besides the Bunk who has the Joint
Ncte already made out and ready to be
signed usually has a Talk calculated to
make a Heart of Stone mellow to the
Consistency of a Baked Apple.

one Thing to cure him of his Innate

These chest musc$e3 and these muscles

Finally, if a roan desires to have his

the pectaralis minor muscles. These raise
the chest from the fifth ribs. The stronger

Alternately advance the right leg and

stretches and develops the muscles of the
upper chest, gives form to the chest, and
will remove what is known as "chicken

Exercise III. Thlfl exercise is fine for
building up the striking-out muscles under
the arms and the shoulder muscles. Hold

clenched hands pointing upwards and
close to the shoulders. Strike straight out
over the head, first with one arm, then

Exercise V. Cross the arms just above
the wrists In front of the chest. Shove the
shoulders forward and downward as much
as possible and then cross the arms as
much and as hard as you can. Hold for
a moment, relax, then repeat. This Is
one of tho best excrciste known for de

when you do this exercise properly you
can see them swell out.

the elbows by ycur sides, grasp the back
of a chair, with the thumbs away from
the body (figure 5). Do not move tho
forearms, but keep them steady. By power
of hands and wrists raise the chair from
the floor as hl3i as you can. Also do
this with the thumbs toward the body and
the knuckles out, and vary by moving the
chair from side to side with the wrists.
Exercise VII. This Is a severe exercise
for the entire upper part of the body.
When you can do it well five or six times

As the lungs aro in the upper part of
the body it to mete and proper that special
breathing exercises, looking toward their
healthiest development, should be given In
this article. In performing these exer
cises, please to remember that there is
no special trick about deep breathing,
which Is the only satisfactory and
healthy way to breathe. If you don't
breatho deeply, many parts of the lungs
do not receive supplies of fresh air and, as
a result, they deteriorate through disuse
and, finally, these neglected parts engender
such dangerous diseases as consumption.
In these breathing exercises simply try to
take in all the air that you possibly can,
observing, of course, tho unchangeable
rule of standing properly so that the chest
will have the beet possible opportunities
I for expanding.
Exercise I. Take the correct standing
1 position. Stoop a little forward and blow
sound timber; such posts shall be set in the
ground two feet, and shall be not farther than
32 feet apart; there shall be not fewer th?.n
three wires of the kind In common use
stretched from post to post; the lower wire
shall be two feet from the ground, the second
15 Inches above the lower, and - - upper one
15 inches from the second one. Said wires
shall be fastened to the posts securely in the
customary manner, and at the distance ot
eight feet from each of said posts, and at
t-very tspace of eight feet from each other,
throughout the entire length of such fences
there shall bo poles or false posts set up on
tho ground feet in height, to which the
wires of such fences shall be securely fastened;
and on each Hide of such fences if the ground
can he plowed three furrows at least four
inches deep. Said furrows must bo plowed
within two feet of the fences; Provided, that
in cases where the land cannot bo plowed, or
in other cases, a pole not less than two inche.3
thick at the small end, or plank not less than
one inch thick .by six Inches wide, allixcd to
posts as above provided, but not more than 1G
feet apart, may take the place of the middle ot
the wire and false posts and plowing.
