LEARNING TO SWIM.
Some Hints In an Art Which Every.
body Should Acquire.

Some Hints In an Art Which Every
body Should Acquire.
Learning to swim should be part Of
every woman's education. 1t Is point
SO far that has been too much neglect
ed. according to a writer in The La
dies World, who gives the following
hints: #
If one can wear life preserver while
learning. much nervous apprehension
is avoided. The knowledge that one
cannot possibly sink is a great aid to
the timid pupil Another good way Is
to have an assistant or director who
sits In boat or on the end Of spring
board or raft holding pole, the other
end being attached by line to stout,
broad belt around the chest. Where
one has neither life preserver nor a
friend at the end of a pole the next
best thing is to learn the motions Of
the stroke and practice, keeping in
shallow water, so that when tired the
feet can be regained while resting.
First the hands are put together,
palms downward. under the chin, and
they are shot outward, cutting the wa
ter like wedge. At the same time the
feet are kicked forcibly outward as far
apart as possible the heels then drawn
sharply together until they touch. The
amount of propelling power depends on
the vigor of the kick outward and the
force with which the heels are drawn
together. AS the body loses momentum
the hands are separated, turned palms
outward and swept back with a strong
motion, describing half circle. ST.
simultaneously the knees are drawn up
under the body preparatory for another
stroke. ....- .. ....
While learning it is almost impossi-
bic to keep the face entirely out of the
water until the habit is formed of hold
ing the head upward and backward.
the chin elevated. If the lungs are
we'll filled before beginning the stroke.
the breath can be held until one or two
strokes are made. when the air may be
expelled and the lungs again filled be
fore renewing the eXertion.,
/ The best way to practice after hav-
ing learned the motions is to 60 into
the water every day. twice if possible,
not staying in too long at time, where
there is a smooth. sandy shore. Wade
out to where the water is waist deep
and swim Iengthwise of the shore or
when little more confidence has been
gained wade out to where the water
nearly reaches the neck, turn around
and try to swim ashore. t.l o..
| Never under any circumstances while
learning attempt to swim out from the
shore. for stroke or two sometimes
win bring one where it is impossible to
touch bottom.

Bandits Go Through q Union Pacific
Train Near Hugo. Colo.
KANSAS CITY. Aug. IA special
from Salina, Kan. says: The Union
Pacific eastbound passenger train No.
was held up by two men several
miles west Of Hugo, Colo, 80 miles
this side Of Denver. The passengers in
the Pullman sleepers were robbed Of
their money and valuables. An old
man named Fay, resident of Califor-
MIA, who has been visiting in Denver
and was on his way to st. Louis, re-
fused to surrender his valuables and
fred shot at one Of tie robbers, but
missed. Thereupon the robbers fired,
one shot entering Fay's mouth, coming
out at the back Of his head, killing him
almost instantly. The robbers stopped
the train, jumped off and escaped.
The robbers got onto one Of the
sleepers near Limon, and after the
train had started, the men made a noise
at the door. The conductor, thinking
they were tramps, open the door to put
them off. The robbers, who were
masked, pointed a pistol at his head
and ordered him to lead the way
through the coaches. All of passengers
were asleep, and the conductor was
ordered to wake them one at time.
The frightened passengers were told to
keep quiet or they would be killed, and
at the same time were asked to hand
over their money and valuables. The
robbers obtained about 800 in cash
and a number of gold watches and
other pieces of jewelry.

tie and belt are Of red silk, This is on:
ly one Of the many color combinations
in which this suit may be developed.
The advantage of using brilliautine
as trimming Is that It dries smoothly
and does not need to be pressed out
after wearing, as galatea or duck col
lar should be. To make this suit four
yards Of light gray brilliantine, IN
yards of q darker shade for the trim
luing and a yard of red for the narrow
bands win be required.

nesota. They arrived there during the
night and when the circus train pulled
in quietly surrounded it and waited for
daylight.
The circus people knew nothing of
their presence until they woke up in
the morning. The sheriffs of Cass and
Hubbard counties who We're assaulted by
the toughs several days ago, were there
and picked out the men they wanted,
10 in all. They were taken to Cass
Lake. Most of them were armed, but
made no display Of their arms against
the large force of soldiers. The noto-
rious Doc Baker of Texas, who is be-
ieved to be the leader of the gang, was
not found SO far as known here. They
will have their trial at Cass Lake. The
militia returned to Duluth later.
The troubles of various Northern
Minnesota towns with the circus people
have extended over period of 10 days,
beginning at Park Rapids and culmi.
mating Friday at Cass Lake. The town
officials were terrorized, and several
cases of assault have been reported.
An attempt to arrest some Of the men
at Cass Lake was resisted, Sheriff
Alexander being brutally beaten. Some
of the men wanted were arrested
at Grand Rapids Saturday, but later
the prisoners were released by force.
1t was after such experiences that the
circus management decided to skip a
few appointments and get over into
Wisconsin as soon as possible. The
railway officials had been requested to
sidetrack the circus train at Cloquet,
and on arrival there the militia sur
rounded the train and made the arrests
at daylight as stated.
