LEARNING TO SWIM.

Persistence in undertaking is a laud-
able virtue but it can be bit over
done sometimes, as in a case described
by y. L. Molloy in "Our Autumn Holl-
day on French Rivers" Mr.. Molloy
aid his friends, longing for a good
dive, Wclt to Il swimming school on an
Island in the Seine. They donnod their
rented costumes and were preparing
Tor the plunge when man with ropes
came along and insisted on tying them
about their waists. Ii was according
To police regulations, and. although they
made an indignant protest, they were
obliged to submit.
While we were dressing, says Mr.
Moloy, we asked the two swimming
masters for an extra towel
Pardon" they replied, Eve must at
tend to our monsieur"
Then we saw that there had come
upon the platform a short and absurd
ly rat man dressed in bathing costume,
swimming sandals and oiled cap.
Let's see him go ill.," said we.
What a splash he'll maker
The swimming masters received the
new arrival at the middle of the plat
form. There he balanced himself on
his stomach on q wooden stump two
Feet high. The masters seized him by
his hands and feet and with slow and
deliberate movements made him strike
out with the action of swimming They
kept this up for quarter Of an hour,
and the Precipitation rolled off him in
great drops
He'll be awfully hot to go into the
water after that" said l.
But he did not go into the water The
swimming lesson over, he moved to-
ward the dressing room, saying:
II have done better today"
"Ah, yes" answered one of the mas
tiers. Your progress is admirable"
The fat man beamed with complai-
sance and went in to dress.
| called the swimming masters aside
Does our monsieur practice often
like that? He must have great perse-
verance."
Perseverance! He has worked like
this for five years, and he has never
been in the water!'

In the early days in the northwest
when the Hudson Bay company laid the
foundations of great fortunes by trade
with the savages and a gun paid for as
many beaver skins as would reach to
the muzzle of it, the skins packed fiat
and the gun held upright, it was alleg-
ed that the barrel of the weapon grew
and grew with each successive year

it with the peltry, had to borrow file

SIGN OF A BEATEN MAN.
Runner Who Looks Behind Almost
Sure to Lose the Race.

Sure to Lose the Race.
There are many more good distance
runners now than in my days" said an
old time champion after watching a
three mile scratch race at the New
York Athletic club games. But the
habits of the runners have not changed
any, for | noticed one little trick in
the race that bore the significance that
used to attach to it.
ITO the casual onlooker there was
nothing to choose between the two
leaders when they were beginning the
last quarter of mile. Right from the
crack Of the pistol they were running
almost stride for stride with the low,
graceful. easy action of the real long
distance runner
Neither had called into use the re-
serve power which must be utilized in
the final sprint for victory when they
turned into the stretch for the final
lap. Then one of them slightly turned
his head to see where the third man
was.
"'That man is beaten, was the
thought which occurred to me at once,
and it proved true, as always, for when
the dash for the finish began he allow
ed his rival to get lead of five yards
before going after him in earnest pur-
suit.
'Erom that point to the finish there
was no perceptible difference in the
speed of the men, but the man who
had turned his head to make sure that
he would get second place, instead Of
bending every energy to win, of course
landed where his thoughts placed
him New York Sun.

ELKS BEFORE Jim JUBILEE
VIII Have to Ride the Bix
Goat Night of the Demo-
cratic Ratification,

The Jimocrats are proclaiming abroad
that Congressman Hitchcock will attend
the big Qualification and ratification meet.
ing OF that club in Washington hail Fri
day evening and that he will make a
speech to the faithful. But there's many
a slip 'twixt the cup and the lip" and the
congressman may not be able to attend.
And this is the reason why:
During the campaign when the congress-
man and A. w. Jefferis were busily en-
gagged in sharing votes, they were en-
shared by a bunch of loyal Elks and both
OF them put in their applications to ioin
the lodge-they could not very we'll refuse
In a time like that. The lodge meets on
Friday evenings and the congressman and
the would-be congressman. together with
sundry other men who as yet are not
privileged to wear the antlers, have been
notified to present themselves before the
lodge for a ride on the goat when the
lodge meets this week.
All lodges have goats, but the Elk goat
Is said to be an improvement on all other
makes-at least those who have bumped
the bumps by the aid Of this pestiferous
beast testify to this fact. Well, Congress.
man Hitchcock is to take a ride on this
fearful goat Friday evening. A~fterward df
he is able he will attend the Jimocra,
blowout.
Governor elect Shallenberger, the three
new state senators from this county. and
others will address the meeting. After
wards a banquet, with plenty of ice water.

PHYSIOLOGY OF INTEMPERANcE
Miss Marie C. Brehm Delivers Lecture
at Central Presbyterian
Church.

Ihe Physiological Phases of Intemper-
ancs and Their Relation to the Economic
Phases was tile title of the lecture de-
nvered at the Central Presbyterian church
last night by Miss Marie C. Brehm, special
lecturer on scientific temperance OF the
ermanent committee on temperance Of the
presbyterian church of the United States.
The lecture room of the church was we'll
filled to hear the address, which was de-
voted principally to the scientific side OF
the liquor question, the effects of alcohol
on the human brain and body.
Some startling facts were brought out
and among them none were more note
worthy than the Investigations of DR.. Mac
Nicholl of New York, who recently COM
pleted the examination of 81, 900 school chill
dren in New York City as to their mental
efficiency. OF those free from hereditary
alcoholic faint, 96 per cent were proficient,
while of those with an hereditary alcoholic
faint q per cent were proficient and n
per cent were billiards.
This Is but one example of the many
arguments proposed by Miss Brehm against
the continuance of the liquor business.
The lecturer is on her way to California
and stopped over in Omaha, where she has
been before and has many friends, in re-
sponse to a special invitation. From here
she goes to Salt Lake City. where she
lectures Sunday night and from there 70
California, where she will speak at Oak
land. the University OF California and other
places.

At the Theaters
world Tour. at the Krun.

Aa
Lyman c. Howe, with his personally
conducted world tours in moving pictures
made supremely real" is the offering at
the Krug last night and tonight.
Moving pictures are not the novelty they
once were. half a dozen places in Omaha
showing them the week through at prices
within reach of the street urchin. There
fore, when an established theater gives up
two nights to them in place of a dramatic
attraction 1t may be presumed they are
out Of the ordinary. In the case Of Howe's
pictures this is true. Such pictures have
probably never before been shown to the
amusement lovers Of the city.
Primarily they are pictures Of travel. OF
strange and foreign lands. Glimpses OF un-
familiar peoples and cities which only the
few have been able TO visit.
Views of the crack regiments of the Brit
ish army on dress parade opened the even
ing. Bugle calls, the clink of the brides
and sabers, the sharp command of the
officers. all In unison with the views. gave
a realistic effect unusual In such pictures
Then came street scenes from Naples.
Rome and other European cities. and very
little Imagination is necessary to give the
spectator the thought that he Is merely
looking from a window at the actually ana
not at a mere picture.
Many other lands are visited and there
are many humorous features. Some Of the
latter. however. border on the common
place, they may be seen anywhere. Mr.
Howe is at his best in his views OF travel
and here he is unexcelled.
He will be at the KruE again toniebt
with a change Of program.
