The Champion Wrestler.

Probably the meanest trick ever
played upon guileless stranger was
consummated at Muldoon's training
quarters. Stages Lake Merced resort,
the other day.
While party of visitors to the
wrestler were sitting on the porch, a
hack drove up containing Ex-Governor
Perkins, Bishop Kip, and two just ar
rived English tourists of distinction,
one of whom was dude of the most
pronounced and unmistakable type.
AS soon as this rara avis descended
from his carriage for refreshments,
Senator Mccarthy at once concocted a
fell scheme. into which he initiated
the other bold bad men at his side. He
Immediately sought Muldoon in his
room, and told him that noted Eng
lish wrestler had just arrived on the
Australian steamer, and that the boys
had put up a job to the effect that the
new man was to be introduced to the
champion as simple traveller; that
he was to wait his opportunity, seize
Muldoon when off his guard, and down
him "just for flyer"
$50 that is the scheme, eh| slid
Muldoon, grimly. "Well, I'll see if ]
can't give our Australian friend a lit
tie surprise party"
Mccarthy then minutely described
the formidable stranger, who, he said,
could be particularly distinguished by
an eyeglass and a white rose in his
buttonhole.
A few minutes afterward the new
arrivals were introduced to the wrestler
and were chatting pleasantly together
the conspirators being much amused
by the sidelong glances with which the
champion kept measuring every move
ment of the unsuspecting object OF
their plot.
Bishop Kip was just finishing dis
QUESTION upon the general merits OF
muscular Christianity, when, with one
of those panther-like springs that sc
disconnected Donald Dinnie, Muldoon
seized the dude, who stood placidly
sucking the knob of his cane, and witt
a powerful twist flung him clear over
his shoulder through the air, the aston
ished Englishman alighting on the
back of his neck, in rosebush, a dozen
feet off.
"Put up job on me, will you?

The uproar that followed was past
description. The dude screamed fol
the police. Governor Perkins rushed
out to telegraph for the militia, while
the venerable bishop hastily mounted
chicken coop, under the impression
that he was the victim of PhGni1
park plot for his personal asSassina
tion.
1t was at least ten minutes before
the matter was explained by the mys
terious disappearance of the senator
and his friends, who had incontinentl.
left for the city early in the difficulty
The matter was finally compromised
and the victim sent home in hacl
with a liberal supply of arnica, but still
expressing his determination to writ
to the British minister at Washington
regarding the outrage. We will be Il
big luck if an international imbrogli
or something else expensive does no
come of the matter yet. Meanwhile

foothills until Muldoon signs an agree
ment not to knock him out in on

HnM 10 Learn TO Swim.

Wade out until the water is up to
your breast, then turn your face
toward the shore and try to swim
toward it. You knew that the water
between YOU and the shore is not over
YOUR depth, as You have Just waded
through it; this will give you conf
d,nce to strike out. Confidence is a
greet help in learning. The chief use
of the various aids in learning-the
swlmming-plank, corks or the presence
of an older person-is to give the
learner confidence. A plank a few
feet long, on which the beginner can
place one or both hands, is sometimes
of use. Corks or life-preservers of
any kind that are fastened to the
hody we do not think much of. One
nee Is but very little aid-in fact, no
adm order to keep his head above
water. if he only has confidence. Ii an
older brother or other friend will hold
his hand in such a manner that you
can rest your chin upon it, you can soon
lnarn the proper movement OF the
arms and legs. Another method is to
have a strap or band of webbing or
other material around the chest, just
under the arms. A few feet of stout
cord has one end attached to the band
and the other end attached to light,
stout pole In this manner a stout
person can help the learner while
standing on the land. The chief use
of this contrivance is to give the be-
ginner confidence. Those who under
take to aid boy in learning to swim
should resist all temptation to play
tricks. No matter how slight duck
ing may be given, it startles the
learner, and he is thereafter fearful il
may be repeated. -Amertean AgIfcuI

THAT AWFUL COWBOY,

A48 WeA' WV 0AAS SeceS.-I
And with neither coat nor vest
He was on high old bender
In peaceful town out West,
His muddy homespun trousers
Were in his boot-legs stuck,
And his yells at times, old rousers,
He said we're "iust for luck"
He had big horse-pistol,
And he stated he could smash
A small-sized watch's crystal
At hundred yards, for cash.
He wore no tie or collar,
And his shirt, not over fine,
Cost Just ohe-half dollar
IN the days of "Auld Lang Syne."
He scorned the town officials,
Unmindful of their stafs,
And carved uncouth initials
On the village liquor bars.
He seemed to have no money
And whene'er he took a drink
he called the landlord "sonny,"
And paid him with wink.
With noisy song and whistle
He on horseback sat,
And fired his old horse-pistol
At the mayors bee-9um hat.
He paled the ladies' faces
With his loud, sardonic laugh,
And made uncouth grimaces
At the constable and staff.
But fellow met this cowboy
And caught him by the ear
And said, quite coolly, "Now, boy,
'Tis time you get from herew
Then he shook up his digestion
In way. that raised a laugh,
And proved beyond question
That the cowboy was calf.

FOR SOMEBODY'S SAKE.

ls oysr life's mountains and vale
Our pilgrimage journey we takeS
We add to our trouble and sarss
And heavier burdens we bear
For somebody's sake.
Though deeply we're wounded by grief'
Though the heart may continueto ache,
Our sorrows we keep out OF sight,
And our faces are smiling and bright
For somebody's sake.
We labor and toll all the day
And many sacrifice make,
And at night may be weary and worn
With the trials we've cheerfully borne
For somebody's sake,
What wonderful tasks we achieve!
What wonderful deeds undertake
And how sweet is the victory won,
When all we We accomplished was done
For somebody's sake.
The struggle that's only for self
No Joy among angels may wake,
But the brightest .. crowns Will De gwen
To those who have suffered and strlven
For somebody's sake.
