sunday Swimmers.
a tall yOun man went bathing in the
Mohawk river at Schenectady last Sunday
with several other Sabbath breakers, in
spite OF previous protests against the SO
lection of such = conspicuous place for
their additions. While they wero in tho
water Mr.. Van Volst appeared aud car
ried off an armful of their clothing. All
of the bathers, however, had enough ap-
parel left to get home without undue
exposure except tho tall young man.
whose only remaining raiment Was collar
and a pair of shoes. But as luck would
have it he found near the river an empty
barrel, out of which he knocked the heads
and into which no stepped, and thus ap.
paroled he made his way home across the
fields, painfully holding up tho barrel as
he walked, but dropping aud sinking into
1t whenever anyone appeared in sight.
Before he reached the plternal mansion
half tho dogs in town had detected his
predicament and united to form howling
escort. 1t is thought that Mr.. Van Voast's
method of abolishing Sunday bathing will
be successful.
