courts for eight years \ conservative

Butte. Mont, where Davis lived and

too verturesome. The rescue was wit
messed by more than 5000 persons, who
cheered Captain McEnroe heartily for his
display OF strength and courage, as, ez-
hausted by his effort, he lay unconscious
on the sand.
Collins, who lives at loo West iSi
street, New York, swan half mile and
was caught by the undertow and drawn
stll further out. His yells for help
were heard by Captain McEnroe There
was no time to launch the boat, if the
man was to be saved. so McEnroe
plunged into the water, and with skilled
strokes swan swiftly toward the drown
ing man. Such was the distance that
rescuer and rescued were mere black
specks to those on shore. Then McEn-
roe began to return to the beach. 1t
was slow and hard. Collins had become
unconscious and was a dead weight.
Once McEnre and the man he was try
ing so hard to save sank out of sight,
and it was thought that both were
drowned. There were hearty cheers
when the life-saver was seen on the sur
face again, and at last completely ex-
hausted McEnroe landed the man on the
beach and sank beside him exhausted.
DR.. Lusk was present and soon resus-
citated both men. Collins was grateful.
He took big bunch of bills out of his
pocket ard stuffed them into the box
placed to receive donations for the life
savers fund.

the white elephant is considered a.
necessary adjunct to royalty. the
want Of it being regarded as ominous;
and IN the 18th century g. provracted
