the colors OF the rainbow, lay side by side with

FIRST POSITION.

in one or two lessons, then the belt is taken off,
cork jacket adjusted under the arms and the
first attempt is made at an independent swim.
This is the method employed in the swim
ming schools, where the pupils insist that
they must be taught. The theory however,
is maintained that there is nothing to learn.
that it is as natural for man or woman to
swim as 1t is for dog. The only reason that
human beings struggle and finally go down in
the water unless help comes is that they are
afraid. They lack confidence. Every man
and every woman has the power to swim If
they only think so.

No CHANCE roa THE GIRLS.

1t is hardly necessary to say that while the
boys are thus enjoying this sport in spite of the
law the girls Of this city are obliged to
wait until they go away from home to take a
plunge in the water. There is no swimming
place for them IN this city audit is a shame that
there is not some provision of this kind. There
are great many ladies who have become ex-
pert swimmers. They have acquired the art
during their summer stay at sea shore and
lake side 1t Is now fashionable for women to
know how to swim and swimming schools are
In vogue in the various large cities Of the
country. 1t is common enough to
hear of the champion female swimmer.
There are many women who become very ex-
pert in the water. AS q rule they are more
agile then men; their movements are more
graceful. After the art has been acquired to
excel involves great physical endurance and
strength, and in contests of this character the
men are apt to win. But as far as grace is con-
cerned there is no movement so attractive as
an expert lady swimmer making q dive. The

They are, however. 'on to the police" as they
say, and when these guardians Of the law make
a descent upon the scene OF innocent pleasure
they manage to be out of reach, although, of
course, their clothes within the reach of
the law. But what are clothes? The police
boat patrols the river front during the bathing
season and with the assistance of the officers on
shore they probably interrupt o good many
bathing parties.

His Confession.

The merchant who wrote the following
which re fin1 in an exchange, has our sim
cere sympathy. he has confessed like
little man and we hope that he may get
another start in the world; you'd not
expect one Of my age in merchandising TO
engage, and hope to get a paying trade,
without the local papers aid. And yet
did that very thing; l opened up a store
Last spring-this month the sheriff took
my stock and sold 1t from the auction
block. Don't view me with a scOrnlul eye,
but simply say, as pass by; There goes a
fool who seems to think he has no use for
printers ink. There is truth as broad as
earth, and business men should know Its
worth; tits simply this; The public buys
its goods from those who advertise"
