WHO'LL co swImmINc3
The Way the boys Used to Do In the Olden
Time.

wonder what sign the boys who
read this have for challenging or invit-
ing one another to go in swimming?
says Ha,per's Young People.
The boys in the boys town used to
make the motion of swimming with
both arms; or they held up the fore
finger and middle finger in the form OF
swallow-tail; they did this when it
was necessary to be secret about it, as
in school, and when they did not want
the whole crowd of boys to come
along; and often when they just pre-
tended they did not want some one to
know.
They really had to be secret at times,
for some of the boys were not allowed
to go in at all; others were forbidden to
go in more than once or twice day;
and as they all had to go in at least
three or four times a day. some sort of
sign had to be used that was understood
among themselves alone.
Since this is true history, I had
better own that they nearly all. at one
time or other must have told lies about
it, either before or after the fact. some
habitually. some only in great extrem-
ity. Here and there IL boy, like my
boys elder brother. would not tell
lies at all. even about going in SWIM
ming; but by far the greater number
bowed TO their hard fate and told
them.
They promised that they would not
60 in. and then they said that they
had not been in; but fate, for which
they had made this sacrifice. was apt
to betray them. Either they got their
shirts on wrong side out in dressing.
or else while they were in some enemy
came upon them and tied their shirts.
There are few cruelties which public
opinion in the boys world condemns.
but am glad to remember to their
honor that there were not many in that
boys town who would tie shirts. and l
fervently hope that there is no boy
now living who would do it. As the
crime is probably extinct will say
that in those wicked days II you were
such miscreant. and there was some
boy you hated. you stole up and tied
the hardest kind of knot in one arm
or both arms of his shirt. Then. II the
evil one put it into your heart, you
soaked the knot in water and pounded
it with stone.
am glad to know that in the days
when he was thoughtless and senseless
enough my boy never WAS guilty Of any
degree of this meanness.
1t was his brother. suppose, who
taught him to abhor it. aud perhaps it
was his own suffering from It in part.
for he. too. sometimes shed bitter tears
over such knot as / have seen hap
less little wretches do. tearing vt it
with their nails and gnawing at 1t with
their tee tn. knowing that the time was
passing when they could hope to hide
the fact that they had been in swim
ming, and foreseeing no remedy but to
cut off the sleeve above the knot, or
else to put on their clothes without the
shirt and trust to untying the knot
when it got dry.
