He DIDN'T Dare Drown.

A fat. middle-aged woman, with a
voice between grunt and a groan, sat
on bench at Piedmont with her l2-year-
old boy and watched the bathers splash
ing and spluttering around the tank says
the san Francisco Post. The heat was
swclterins and the boy begged and plead
ed TO be allowed 10 go into the water. He
promised to pull all the weeds out of the
garden, to carry in wood for a week
without being told and to wipe the dishes
every night.
mo; I'm afraid you'll drown" declared
the cautious mother, but there were evil
dentes of indecision in her voice. If she
had said: Shut up; you shan't' the boy
would have known his fate was sealed.
IN wheel the baby every morning." he
added, by way of a further bribe.
The fat woman mopped her perspiring
face, looked at the crowd and snapped:
Well go on; but If you drownd sou
can't blame me-"
The boy was soon splashing and pad
ding around, He has assured his mother
that he could swim a little, and she eyed
him narrowly to find out If he had been
lying. The boy had got out into deep
water when his head went under. His
mother thought it was merely one of her
boys tricks, and kept her seat. He came
up all right, but looking frightened, fioun-
dered a moment and went down again.
He was under a little longer and bubbles
came up where his head ought 10 be.
Up he bobbed again, splashing and trying
to cry for help. He was just sinking for
the third time when his mother sprang to
the edge of the tank, and shaking her
fist at the boy, screamed:
You Simon Peters Bates! Don't you
dare drownd, or I'll skin you alive"
The boy saw the fist and heard the
threat, and with his face contorted with
fear kicked out desperately and KEPT afoat
till some of the bathers lifted him out
The terrible threat saved his life. He
didn't dare drown.

Mr.. Crisp and Free Coinage.


We DO not know why 1t vas that Con-
gresham Crisp did not attend the Griffin
convention. but there is no doubt a pretty
general belief that ne did not want 10 be
Identified with H. lie was in Atlanta the
nisht before the meeting Of the convention
and we believe he sails for Europe from
New York to-day. His engagements IN
Washington and New York may have been
such that he could not remain over day
and attend the convention, but could he
not have written letter?
It is reported that he was requested 70
write a letter 10 be read at the convention.
II may be that the reception with which
the letter Of Senator Bacon met did not
encourage him to commit his views TO
paper.
The most conspicuous feature Of the Ba-
con letter was not Of character TO give
the extreme silverites unbounded Joy. The
senator was not so sure that free. unlim-
tied and independent silver coinage at the
ratio Of 16 TO / would be a good thing for
the country that he was willing to stake
his political future upon it. In fact. he was
so doubtful Of its merits that he suggest
ed that If we couldn't have sound money
at the ratio OF lG to We could try some
other ratio. In other words, Senator Bacon
favors making experiments.
We have seen nothing to Indicate that
Mr.. Crisp favors experiments. Doubtless
he knows enough about the money ques-
tion to be satisfied that such experiments
as Senator Bacon proposes would be about
as disastrous to the business and Industrial
interests of the country as a series of
financial Uanics of the kind that we had
in 1893.
But if the dispa tches do not do Mr.. Crisp
injustice he thought the Griffin convention
was premature. or. in other words. there
was no reason for it. He Is a sagacious
politician and can see a good way into the
future. lie probably sees that the more the
silver question is agitated the stronger the
sound money sentiment will become and
that therefore the Griffin convention would
do the cause of silver more harm than
good.
But whatever Mr.. Crisp's Views about
the Griffin convention were it is certain
that he was careful not to become iden-
titled with it in any way. He kept away
from it. and he wrote no letter to encour-
age those who did attend.
But because of his attitude towards the
convention does 1t follow that he is of the
opinion that the free silver craze is dying
out in Georgian That Is question that can
not be answered with any degree of GER
tician 1t is a fair inference that he is not
so certain that the silverites can control
the Georgia democracy as he was when,
in an interview some time ago, he de-
clared for silver at the ratio of 10 to /.
