After the vigilance committee dis.
banded the criminal element became
holder, and In 1856 the crime and cor
ruption in the city had become intol-
cradle to those who wished to live
decent and orderly life. When Editor
King of the Bulletin, who had de-
nounced the thugs, was murdered by
James P. Casey, new vigilance Or
ganization was created, and in q few
days Casey and another murderer
named Cora were executed in front of

lawbreakers were later put to death,
and the regime Of the California dad

It has been asserted that San Fran
cisco is the most cosmopolitan city In
the world, and by cosmopolitan Is
meant a population from all parts of
the world. Not long ago the records
indicated that 43 per cent of the peo-
pie Of the city were born in foreign
lands, not in two or three different
countries, but in practically every land
under the sun. According to the ma
tional census reports for 1890, San
Francisco had total population of
29S, 1897. OF these 172, 1856 were native
born and 1851 were born outside of
the United States. Fully half the
grown persons in the community re-
moved to California from alien lands,
while large percentage of the other
half and of the general body Of chill
dren were of foreign parentage. In
1900 San Francisco had a population
Of 342,782, Of which 81 per cent was
foreign born.

as one of the wide open" cities Of the
United States. AS in the days Of
1849, the gambler devotes himself to

EAYl HEN I was a college boy of eighteen
IW lived in Cambridge, near Harvard
R,@=I College, but every summer, when
tssZE@I school work was over, 1 went to
spend my vacation with an aunt
who lived in little town on the
banks Of the Mississippi, in Tennessee.
1t was during one of these visits that the
incident which am about to relate occurred.
The principal amusement during the sum-
mer of the lads in the little town where my
aunt resided was swimming in the great,
broad river that nearly encircled the village,
and almost every boy in the vicinity was an
expert swimmer.
But the best boy-swimmers in town were my
cousin, Bob Atherton, and his particular
chum and crony, Harry Shaw.
At the time of which l write both were
aged about fourteen. Bob was a stout, mus
cuar boy, with a firm, welset chin, and a
cool, determined expression, that never for
sock him under any circumstances.
His friend Harry was more slender, but
active as cat, and swift of foot as young
Indian.
As / said before, Bob and Harry were the
best boy-swimmers in town, and several times
when the day was fine and the water smooth
they had swum across the river, which, at
that point, is nearly mile in width; but
Los Angeles herald., 1906-02-11

they had always had a skiff along in which to
return
One unusually warm day in early September
we strolled down to the river bank above the
town, and made ready for swim.
We had Just struck out into the current
when we saw, some distance up the river,
huge raft of lumber floating down in mid
stream and we decided to swim out to it,
rest ourselves little while, and then swim
back to shore. The plan was well enough
laid, but, as Burns says:
''The bestlaid schemes o mice and men gang
aft agey."
We reached the raft and having selected
some planks on which to rest ourselves, lay
down to have chat. We had been resting
perhaps ten minutes and Bob had just pro-
posed starting to swim back, when we were
startled by a sort Of bump that shook the
whole raft, and springing up, we found to our
dismay that the raft had landed on the Mis-
souri, side of the river.
1t was all very we'll to swim the river as
volunteer feat, with skif along to take
one in if he gave out; but to swim across as
matter of necessity was quite different
matter.
"We, fellows, how are we going to get
back?" / asked, rather ruefully
"Swim back, of counsel" said both, in one
breath.
A fresh breeze had sprung up, and we saw
that the longer we stayed the less likely
would we be to reach the opposite shore in
safety.
1t was now evening. The sky had become
overcast, and the breeze came in little, ir-
regular flaws. A storm was evidently coming
up, and storms in that region sometimes come
very rapidly. The water out in the current
showed now and then an ominous white cap,
but we fearlessly jumped in one after the
other, like three frogs jumping off log.
The water seemed very cold at first, but
the exercise Of swimming soon drove the chill
away, and we felt quite comfortable. The
choppy waves annoyed us O little, dashing into
our faces at the most unexpected moments,
and sometimes almost taking away our breath.
We were more than quarter Of mile out
when the wind completely died away. That
meant q squall. The west grew darker and
darker. Everything seemed very still for
a while, and then a distant roar was heard,
and presently we saw the squall coming up
the river, flashing the water with indescribable
fury. and bearing along cloud Of dust and
leaves.
There was no chance now but to swim for
life and this we did with all our might. We
were more than halfway across the river,
when noticed that Harry began to show
signs Of fatigue.
Once he turned on his back, and tried swim
ming that way, but the water washed COM
pletely over him, and he came up coughing
violently. / swan close to him. and said, en-

he struck out again. but in rather feeble

And few minutes later we were cheered
by faint but triumphant shout from Bob,
who had reached shore. Harry and felt our
feet touch bottom with a thrill OF intense
thankfulness. Now that we were safe, we all
felt completely exhausted. and could scarcely
crawl along.
We were fully mile and half below
town. We had no clothes, and the wind
had become quite cold. The nearest
habtation was the hut Of an old negro
fisherman who lived by himself in the woods
not far distant. We knew old Uncle Glen
well, and determined to make our way to
his cabin.
After toilsome scramble through the dark
woods we came upon his hut, which was bril-
liantly lit up within by great wood fire.
We knocked at the door. and old Glenn asked,
in frightened sort OF way:
who's dar?"
"Some of the boys, Uncle Glenn"
"What fo' some. OBJ de boys come roun dis
time OBJ de night?
ooh, come now, Uncle Glen, let us in, and
then we will tell you" -.
After considerable preliminary grumbling,
we heard the old man draw something heavy
away from the door, and the next instant the
red freight flashed out on two Dob having
modestly retired within the shadows. of the
trees) shivering, naked bodies, that looked in
the rudy light like a pair Of apparitions from

and fell over a chair in paroxysm of terror
He yeritably believed that some evil spirits
had come to take him to everlasting tor
although we were chilled to the bone, and
faint from over-exertion, we could not resist
the absurdity of the situation, and we all be-
ran to laugh, whereupon old Glenn stopped
bowling, and ventured to look at us more

ognized US he began to laugh, too. just as if
he had thought the affair funny from the

river bank above the town, if the wind has
not carried them away"
Uncle Glenn held up his hands in unspeak-
able amazement. Then he said, starting to-
ward the door:
Los Angeles herald., 1906-02-11

put into the rude wooden stick, held, as now,
in the left hand.
In the primitive stages of the art the
stick was in reality stick-a thin bar Of
wood, "a homemade strip of DEAL" with an
end piece and a back piece "tacked" on, and
a third piece, in block form, also tackled on
at column-width from the md. For change
in column-width another Stick" must be tax
en-, or re-tacking submitted to.
In an ancient engraving, which purports
to represent the interior of printing office
in 1920, it is worthy of note that the only
compositor represented is woman.
In 1880, metal had superseded wood ex.
cept for job sticks. An adjustable side was
also fitted by screw instead of tacks. but
the adjusting could be only at regular in
tervals fixed by the screw-holes. The stick
was long, narrow, and INDUCED in fanciful
ends. This, like its predecessor, was shallow.
1t held but six or eight lines, and was i'm
proved by cutting slot either in the back
Of the stick or in the sliding adjuster, or by a
clamp.
