innocent.
When girl gets engaged to five men
in the summer she is sure she had a

A young man is awful smart to be able
to earn 50 week in spite of his college

It's awful nice the way something
gauzy can make a woman seem to be
dressed when she isn't.

The strokes of both pairs of limbs are

end of the kick should be simultaneous

The kick, which l have said is the more
important of the two movements, may be
perfected by using swimming board, or,
better still, after the pupil can swim a
little. by striving to swim on the stomach
without using the hands. To do this trick
one must kick properly, otherwise he will
sink.
In swimming on the back, the legs are
opened wide, drawn up, and then kicked
out and slightly down, the soles of the
feet and the under parts of the thighs
opposing the water. 1t is important that
the legs be closed forcibly at the end of
the kick. At the same time that the legs
are drawn up, the straight arms are lift
ed out of the water and thrown back,
catching the water as a rover catches 1t
with his oars; they are then, with the
palms turned forward, brought swiftly in
to the sides.

THE companies selling ice under con-

for ice sold to the Peoples company, and
there was an agreement with w. r. Lyons
that the Central company should not con-

FAMOUS PAINTING FOR A TENT
Panorama Battle of GettysburE" Now
Used ~ GOVERNS for shO-
ahont Restaurant.

sHosHONI. wyo. July B.-(specisl)-
The inglorious end Of Philipiteau's famous
panoramic painting Of the battle of Gettys-
burg is one Of the sights for the many
visitors attending the registration for lands
in the Shoshone reserve In almost the
last place in the world where one might
expect to see It, the last of this once great
work of art now stands-cut into strips and
sewed together with no attempt at uni
formity. and used as a restaurant tent.
Thousands in many of the larger cities
Of the United States have viewed this stu
pendous panorama that finally landed in
Omaha and was stored away in a ware
house-a white elephant on the hands of
it's last owner. An ingenious caterer anx-
ious to make his pile from feeding the
hungry throng attending the reservation
opening here bought the once magnificent
and soul stirring drama on cloth and con-
ceived the idea of making it into tent.
On the outskirts OF shoshoni the battle
of Gettysburg panorama, now cut into a
hundred pieces and sewed into a tent, is
making its last stand
Fourteen men and eighteen women, mem
bers of a band of Holy Rollers arrived
here today from the east and took stages
for Lander They intend TO locate in the
new town of Hodgson, near Lander. Rev.
Harry w Ballard. pastor Of the First
Church of the Multitude here called a spe-
cial prayer meeting when the arrival of
these people became known and preached a
stirring sermon against allowing them to
settle here. They came with the largest
number of homeseekers who have yet ar
rived on a single train, and carefully con-
cealed their identity until they were nearly
ready to depart.
Emissaries of several other strange cults,
1t is said, have been working in the region
secretly for weeks. Among them are prom
inent members of Jacob Beilharts no
torious spirit fruit crowd, whose free love
doctrines created a furore in Chicago and
throughout the country some two years
ago.
Governor Brooks arrived this evening
from Douglas for personal inspection OF
the conditions here. After making a round
Of the town he declared that despite the
trouble with the gamblers and holdup men
week ago, Shoshoni is one of the best
governed cities in the state, and that the
measures taken by the authorities follow
ing the Moody murder were evidence OF
this. The governor was Informed there
had not been one street hght since the open
ing OF registration. He goes to Landon to-
morrow
