Here is an item that is having its run
among the Oklahoma papers: "A
little girl whose father is building a
house In the Usage nation was saying
her prayers few nights ago. Her pa
rents have moved seven or eight times
since they came TO the territory, and
the child usually emphasized that part
of the prayer which requested home
in heaven. On this occasion she re-
peated it i'm rather mechanical man
ner, as though il were really a matter
of indifference, and looking mp into
her mothers face asked. what do
we want with a home IN heaven when
we are going 20 have one in the reser-
vatiOnY"

was too difiident to talk to them.
When she danced people thought she
was engaged in desperate effort TO

An Extraordinary Swimmer.

They have just found swimmer in
who has aroused the inter
est of all sportsmen who make swim
ming something more than q pastiue
in this country. Nobody seems to
know exactly how the new man,
Gormly, s~ims, though the Austr allan
papers devote columns OF description
to his style, having got TO the point
OF illustrating his method. Even the
experts in this country are unable to
fathom the peculiarities of his stroke,
which has reduced, all the notable
swimmers in Australia and New Zea
land to despair. It should be said,
by the way, that the swimmers of that
part of the world are men Of exsraor-
dinary swiftness, endurance and
power. Gormly does not pretend to
train Tor his races, but makes it
point to spend six or eight hours
every day in the water. His stroke is
now being copied by number of pro-
fessional and amateur swimmers Of the
antipodea He swims, according to
the description, with his right arm
perfectly straight-that is, it makes a
long, slow sweep from the shoulders
downward and backwar as he lies on
his right SIDE But the real stroke
which sends him through the water at
a rate which amazes his competitors is
what is described as "the corkscrew mo-
tion of the left leg, which is drawn up
and out of the water, SO as to be almost
completely in view, ana Is then pushed
under the water and thrust back
ward with corkscrew motion, which
sends the body along at remarkable
rate of speed" This is the most sue
cinct explanation which has yet been
given of Gormly's method of swim
ming. He is coming over here this
summer, SO when the camera fiends
get at him the public will know all
about the "corkscrew motion" which
he uses. Incidentally his style OF
swimming casts q bitter reflection up
on the frog, which has heretofore sus
tained an unquestioned eminence as
the model for, champion swimmers
