A BIG NEWS BEAT"
Remsen Crawford in Success Tells How Reporter Jumped Overheard.

Undoubtedly the boldest undertak-
 ing on the part of reporter to score
 a beat ever known in the history of
 American journalism was when Thomas B. Fielders. of the New York
 Times" leaped from a steamer in
 New York harbor at odds of about q hundred to one of being drowned,
 and brought in the first graphic story
 of the loss of the ocean liner Ore gon." 1t is the custom of new dailies
 to send reporters down the bay to meet incoming steamers. when it is
 known there Is big news" aboard.
 On the ground that it is better to be safe than sorry, the editors dispatch the reporters by special permit on q government revenue cutter. or else on a specially chartered tug. with 2
 view to catching their game before the ship docks. It was known early one afternoon that the North German Lloyd steamer which had rescued the | passengers of the ill-fated Oregon"
 was not far out, and every city eli. tor in New York laid plans for send. ing reporters out to meet the incom. ing liner.
 Fielders was one of these. He
 managed to get aboard the big liner far down the bay and went among the survivors of the Oregon" disas- ter and obtained some thrilling tales of escape. He took notes enough to write book about the sinking of the ship. with minute details of heroic rescues and plenty of what newspa. per men call human interest" stories. Then time began 10 wear heavy on his hands. It was getting late at night. and the ship had not yet pass 1 ed quarantine. To make matters worse, the captain said that he would allow no one to leave the shin until she had made her way clear at quar. antine: Fielders vainly pleaded that he was not passenger. and. there fore. was not amenable to the in- spectiOn of the ship by the health of- ficers. His remOnstrances were un- availing. The captain was ob,lurase.
 Ten o'clock came. The city editor Of the Times paced nervouslv around the night desk repeatedly ask. ing Where on earth is FfelIerSf- Ont there in the bay Fielders. wrought to a pitch of anger almost sufficient to impel an assault upon the exact ing captain. looked vainly at the dimpling stream of light from his tug as she lay out in the darkenei waters waiting for him. The captain of the steamer would not permit the tug to come any nearer to his ship. Fielders stood beside the rail loull- ly remonstrating with the man com manding the big ship. He stealthfly placed one leg over the rail. then the other. Then there was a splashing sound below and a chorus of shouts from the passengers. The reporter was OverbOar,l Out in the ripping light his body was seen to rise. and. as it did. the daredevil began swim ming toward his tug His comrades had thrown out q line at a signal from him previously given. and b made for that line.

NOW COMES THE BANANA PEEL SEASON.

A banana peel doesn't seem like very im- portant matter, but 1t has been made a real issue.
 Of course it is important enough to the per- son who steps on it at the wrong time and in the wrong way, and Street Cleaning Commits sioner Woodbury had this in mind in taking steps to have people arrested who put banana peels in the wrong place. Moreover the commissioner organized the city children into groups whose duty it is to help keep the city clean and to apprehend those who violate the law
 The street cleaning commissioner went fur ther Tn a printed circular he said: Feed your banana peelings to the horses"
 This sounded very we'll. The act seemed both precautionary and charitable. It seemed to have humane purpose and clean safe intention.

NEW YORK.-The extraordinary number of drownings around about the metropolis sufficiently advertise the fact that we at the height of the outdoors season. Incidentally they reveal the fact that a vast majority of people do not know the first principles of that science which devotes itself to the resuscitation of the drowned. In scores of cases lives might be saved if the simple rules were even partially known.
 Very many of the drownings near and in the New York waters-the city has 50 miles of water front-are due to boating accidents. Some of these are doubtless what might be called unavoid- able The vast majority are due to carelessness ignorance ignorance of sailcraft, ignorance of motors.

 Healthy kidneys keep you well by keeping the blood pure. Sick kidneys keep you sick by failing to purify the blood.

 A. The removal of moles should not be attempted without the advice of a physician. Permanent freckles can usually be removed only by re- moving the outer cuticle. It takes about two weeks for a specialist in skin diseases to peel of the skin: the process is a disagreeable but not painful one. Summer freckles and sunburn are sometimes driven away by applications of buttermilk and cu- cumber juice.

SHOULD A HORSE
Be CLIPPED I?
CLIPPING IN THE EARLY SPRING
RECOMMENDED BY LEADING
VETERINARIANS.
All Thinking Men Readily Recognize
lite Advantages,


"A horse is a valuable asset. and
should receive the best care possible.
He should be we'll fed. comfortably
stabbed, carefully groomcd and clipped
in the early spring. If he receives
these attentions he will work well
and improve In value. A horse lives
under artificial conditions. In his
attentions, for he was able to look
out for himself. The domesticated
animal, being worked under condi-
tions that are in themselves artificial.
must be kept in condition for such
work.
The clipping of horse in the early
spring is now conceded by all the
leading veterinarians to be as essen
tial to q horses well being as shoeing
him or giving him a comfortable bed
to lie on. Farmers in England and
France have been clipping their
horses for many years, and American
farmers are not slow to realize Its
advantages. A clipped horse dries
out rapidly after a hard days work,
and will rest comfortably and be re-
freshed for the work the following
day. An unclipped horse Is liable to
catch the heaves, pneumonia and all
sorts of colds, rheumatism, etc. More
especially is this so in the early
spring, when his hair Is long and he
is soft" II worked hard he will per-
spire freely and the moisture will be
held by his long hair, and the food
that should 60 to nourish him will be
used to replenish the heat that is be-
ing constantly taken from his body
by the mass Of cold wet hair. II
clipped, the perspiration will evapor-
ate almost as soon as secreted, and
when put in the stable he rests COM
fortably and his food does him good.
Some years ago Buffalo street car
company tested the value Of clipping
in the following manner: They own
ed 500 horses, and $50 of these were
clipped early In the spring and 25o
were not clipped. A careful record
was kept of results, and 1t was found
that of the ESQ unclipped horses 153
were afflicted with coughs and pneu-
monia, while Of the $50 clipped not
one case of sickness was reported.
A man would not expect to enjoy
very good health If he did hard man
ual work clothed with heavy under
wear. heavy suit and fur overcoat.
and after perspiring freely, as he
naturally would, go to sleep without
removing same. 1t is just as ridicu'
lous to expect a horse to be in perfect
health If worked under the same con-
ditions.
If you would get the best returns
from your investment in your horse
treat him right, and be sure and
clip him in the early spring A first
class horse-clipping machine can be
bought at almost any hardware store
for less than $7.00.-Horse Review
