Canning's
Cruise
BY CLARENCE oDELL

Canning, running down the beach
looked about for the familiar blue AMI
white tuiban. Somehow he had come
TO expect the sight Of the odd little
bathing cap, and it was with gesture
Of Impotence that he searched the
beach and the little knot of bathcra
clinging to the life ropes.
Ever since the girl had first appeared
on the beach Canning had been inter.
ested. She was splendid swimmer.
vastly different from the girls who

shrieks every time wave rolled IN.
She headed straight for the raft with
strong. steady strokes and kept away
from the fiirtatious group in the shall
lows.
Canning admired her for 1t. and be
was frequently found on the raft

He never had q chance to speak. She
was not the kind Of girl a man spoke
to without excuse, but Of late there

More than once Canning had wished
that she might have cramp-just .

She was nowhere In sight today
The water was unusually rough, and
the life guards were pacing the beach
rsstlessly instead Of occupying their
usual perchss. but rough water could
not prevent her from taking her daily
dip, and Canning wondered what the
matter was.
Then suddenly he caught sight Of a
blue and white dot out on the water,
and he strobe into the surf. 1t was
reckless for the girl to try to make the
raft in this sea. He wondered that the
guards had not called her back.

powerful strokes, following the girl

SHEPHERD CARVERS.
The Lonely Sheep Tenders of the Cali
fornia Sierras.

There are few lonelier lives in the
In the high meadows of the California
Sierras. All alone they follow their
sheep, seeing no one for many months
of the year but the sheep. their dogs
and perhaps an occasional-a very oc-
rasional-traveler. Probably this soil
tude dries up the springs of speech.
for they are said to be very silent
when they do encounter any one.
One of these strange men is a Basque
from the Pyrenees. A lean, dark Wis
aged. ragged fellow, he is now and
then overtaken by some wanderer in
the mountains. Along the trail before
him his sheep feed. His mongrel collie
hangs at his heels. He may raise his
stick in mute salutation; he may SLOUGH
by without Il sign. Yet this uncouth
being has one talent-he can carve
His amusement is carving quaint
sheep buckles out of bone. Every herd
has its bellwether. about whose neck
hangs a bell. The bell depends from a
leather collar. and it is the buckles of
these collars that this old Basque shep-
herd and some of these other Sierra
shepherds make in the course of their
lonely days. Sometimes a buckle rep
resents summers work, for some OF
them are very elaborate. Some are In
the semblance of saints or angels.
some have the monographs of the sheep
owners or of the shepherds in curious
designs. All are patiently cut. bit by
bit, with the pocketknife of the shep-
herd.-E<change.

THE FIRST zoo.

China, II Seems, Counts That Among
Her Many Records.
The Chinese had the first zoo. Men
ageries are thought to owe their ORR
gin partly to the cult of sacred ami
mails and partly to the ambition of
rulers to possess specimens of rare and
valuable crea lures from foreign lands
or savage beasts from their own. In
the simplest forms geological gardens
were one Of the earliest developments
Of culture and were familiar TO the
Chinese, Indians. Greeks, Romans and
preSpanish Mexicans In ancient times.
The oldest recorded menagerie is Chi
nese. dating from 1850 B. c. The den
of lions kept by Darius, as described
in the book of Daniel, is an example
Of one Of those primitive menageries,
while the cult of sacred white horses
by the ancient Greeks and Romans
and that of SO called white elephants
in Burma and Siam are instances of a
second type. A live giraffe was re-
ceived at the menagerie of Schonbrunn
as early as 1923.
The Paris establishment Is regarded
as the earliest entitled to the designa-
ton geological gardens in the mod
ern sense Of that term, which owes its
origin, however, to the formation OF
the menagerie in the Regents park.
OF German establishments Of this sort
the one at Berlin is the earliest.
American ZOOS. notable among which
is New York and Chicago. are among
the completest in the world. - Ex-

Eating Before Retiring and Digestion
During Slurnber.
Diet has little influence on sleep ex-
cept in SO far as it may produce dis
turbances of digestion and through

The hypnotic effects Of certain foods.
such as onions. lettuce. milk, etc, are
chiefly imaginary. Even the time Of
the last meal of the day is of relative
~ little Importance except that it is
well to let this be at least two or three
hours before retiring. But even this
rule has many exceptions. as many
healthy labOring men habitually fall
asleep over their pipes directly after
supper. and children after poking the
spoon into their little eyes nod off over
the tea table, with the bread and but
ter still clutched in their chubby fists.
The processes of digestion probably
go on more slowly during sleep, but
they are perfectly carried out, as is IL
Illustrated by the almost invariable hab-
it among animals of going to sleep
directly after a meal.
Indeed, a moderate amount Of food
in the stomach or intestines seems to
promote slumber. Many night workers.

The Carsadors Can Carry Enormous
Loads on Their Shoulders.
Just as one finds the rickshaw every
where in India, SO one finds the carga
dor in Mexico He Is beast of bur-
den. In general he is comparatively
small man, with broad shoulders and
stout arms and legs To look at him
one would not think he would be able
to carry heavy burdens. But the
weight he can carry is surprising. You
have trunk you can scarcely move.
for instance. You send for a cargador.
He gets it upon his back. high up on
the shoulders, and he marches off with
it as easily as though it were a play
thing. A life dedicated to carrying
heavy burdens has made this work
easy for him. A slightly built Mexican
will carry over 500 pounds on his
shoulders for short distances.
Until recent years almost every thing
in the City of Mexico and everywhere
else throughout the republic was car
ried upon the backs of cargadors. If
you wanted to move your household
furniture you hired certain mum Der
of cargadors. For house moving they
generally work in pairs, each pair hav-
ing a hand truck. which they pick up
and carry when it Is loaded, for it has
no wheels. In the City Of Mexico there
are still hundreds of these hand trucks,
though one may now find plenty Of
carts, wagons and heavy moving
trucks.-Mexican Herald.

EARL HAM TEAM WAS
IDLE; GOT NO GAME
Heroic Effort Put Forth on the
Part of Coach Vail
Proved UnavaiIing.
NOTIFICATION TOO LATE.
QUAkERS HAVE A GAME WITH
BUTLER NEXT SATURDAY AND
THE FOLLOWING SATURDAY
WITH DEPAUW.

Heroic effort on the part Of Coach
Vail of Earlham, to schedule foot
ball game for today, after it was learn
ed here yesterday that Rose Poly
could not play, availed nothing, and
Tor that reason the Quaker pig skin
enthusiasts will remain idle. The ac-
ton on the part of the Terre Haute
school in notifying Earlham at such 3
late hour is being criticised by the
students at Earlham and even Coach
Vail thinks the action not the best.
Earlham was not notified until about
eleven o'clock Friday, although it was
known at Terre Haute on Thursday
that the team would play no more this
Reason. Had Coach Vail been appriS-
ed of the disbanding Immediately, he
could easily have arranged game on
the local field. Nine schools were
correspondent with Friday by wire in
the hope that at least one would con
sent to come to Richmond. The Day
ton, O., and Sheridan, Ind, athletic
clubs were also asked for games, but
neither schools nor athletic clubs de-
sired to risk the game on SO short n
notice.

The Tenors' Parts.

Probably the composers are largely
responsible for tenor worship. In Yer
dis operas. with hardly an exception.
the tenor plays more important part
than the baritone or bass, and the
same is true of other opera writer's,
Mozart's Don Giovanni being q nota-
BILE exception. Wagner wrote one
opera, The Flying Dutchman," IN
which the baritone is king. whereas in
six of his works the supremacy Of the
tenor is indicated by the very titles
"Rienzf." ''Tannhauser," "Lohengrin,"
Tristan ind Isolde" "Siegfried,"
"Parsifal." This being so. we shall
probably continue to be subject to the
tyranny of one tenor or another, unless
1t be true. as was maintained at con-
clave of French savants, that the tenor
voice is a relic of barbarism, destined
to become extinct-ArSo1aut

Stockholders of the Richmond
Amusement Company
Held Annual Meeting.
BEST TOWN IN |. O. LEAGUE,
1T is HOPED TO PUT A TEAM IN
TO LEAGUE OF LARGER CIT
les NEXT SEASON AND PRO-
VIDE FASTER SPORT.

At a stockholders meeting Of the
Richmond Amusement Co, held Thurs
day evening in the rooms Of the Com
mercial club, an interesting report Of
the years business was read by Secre-
tary Will Bartel and discussed by the
members present. The report show
ed all Indebtedness met and paid, and
a small balance left in the treasury.
While no dividend was declared. the
stockholders expressed themselves as
highly pleased with the showing made
for the first year. feeling that they
have provided the citizens of Rich
mond with a clean, healthful amuse-
ment and accomplished their main
purpose, which was to keep Richmond
money at home
The report showed that over $4,000
was paid out by the company, all of
which remained here, and it was gen
orally agreed that SO, 900 was small
estimate of the amount saved to Rich
mond, which has heretofore been spent
by local baseball lovers, who have
sought their fayOrite amusement in
other cities.
The report further showed that Rich
mond was the best bail town in the |.
O. league, as shown by the fact that
that they paid more money into the
league treasury than any other team;
more money to visiting teams than any
other; and was the only team to show
profit on the season; the losses IN
the other cities ranging from $1,000
to $1,000. Had the other cities done
as we'll. the financial end of the local
report would have been very much bet
ter.
The character and department of the
attendance was very gratifying to the
company, including as it did. large
number of ladies, most Of whom seem
ed to understand the game as we'll as
the men.
After the acceptance of the report
plans for the future were discussed
1t was decided to put a team into a
| league of larger cities. and provide
faster ball than last season. Work
will start shortly toward improving
the grounds, mainly in left and center
fields, where the knoll will be graded
and holes filled up. With the com
! pletion Of the grandstand this will give
| Richmond one of the incest ball parks
in the state.
A committee was also appointed tc
report on the expense Of converting
the field into an ice-rink for the win
ter.
In order to help raise funds for con
! templated improvements it was decid
ed to give a ball at the coliseum some
time in December and the following
committee was named to arrange the
details. Three prizes of season tick
cts to the park will probably be giver
to the fans selling the most tickets
to the ball, and a grand success i!
looked for.
