ran to the girls but by the time |

Better Learn to Swim.

Columbia college has offered her
boating facilities for schoolboys who
would like to learn to row. and the
distinguished clergyman, DR.. Rains
ford. has offered $40 gold pieces for
the boys in his church who learn TO
swim a mile.
DR.. Rainsford has come nearest the
point. Every child should learn 20
swim. To row is ornamental. To
swim is practical.
And with all our talk about athlet-
les, swimming is probably the best

no less than men. Last summers ae-
cidents at canoeing prove this. II

Taxed on the Hoffman house cushions.
For want of excitement they'd stake
a S. note on which way the first black

noon Jake would take niger up for
his and Ed would have niger down.
Generally they broke about even.
Zone day Jake's colored cook asked
him if she could have the next day
off. Her mother was dead and the
funeral was set for the next day.
Jake gave her $50 toward the funeral
expenses and told her she might take
two days off. Then he said:
Now Annie, I'm very much inter
ested in your folks and I'd like to see
the funeral, but | can't get away from
business. As the funeral is going
across Long Island ferry at Thirty
fourth street, suppose you have it
drive up Fifth avenue to Thirty-fourth

what kind of a funeral your nanny

"The cook was delighted with the
suggestion and with the $50. That
afternoonJake picked niger up for his.
He and Ed were sitting at one of the
big windows enjoying their cigars
after lunch when the funeral came in
sight. Jake almost swallowed his
cigar when he saw the look that came
on Eds face. There were 80 niggers
in that funeral procession. Gilmore
pleaded that a game had been played
on him, and they compromised on so
niggers or $3.50.
