But Snyder did not give up so easily.
He worked over the man for nearly
an hour and his efforts were rewarded
by seeing the man leave the lake

Bert Schilling, a former well known
resident, is one of the persons who has

to where he had sank, and after a

HAS LOTS OF GOLD

New York, July 18.-Another mod,
ern Enoch Arden romance, in which
the actors are men of wealth, was
brought to light when Herbert Aver.
i'll, automobile manufacturer, sued his
wife, Matte, for divorce in supreme
court here.
He said she was welded to man
whom she thought head when she
married him, but who later turned VI
alive Here's his story:
In 1892 Matte B. Antrim, Los An
geles, married Chas. r. Jenkins, man
ager of a Los Angeles hotel For six
years they were happy. Then jenkins
got the gold fever.
He wanted to go to Alaska to find
gold to satisfy every craving of his
young wife. He went, and Mrs. Jen
kins came east TO visit her friends.
In 1905 she read in q Boston paper
of the death of her husband in fro
zen pass in the Klondike She wore
weeds and regarded herself as a bona
fde widow. In 1907 she married Her
bert Averill, wealthy automobile
| dealer
A couple of months later she heard
from her mother in Los Angeles thai
Jenkins was still alive; that he had
returned from Alaska a millionaire
and now owned two hotels in Manila

his wife.
At that time Averill had gone away

to Jenkins and he came to her. She
explained her difficulties and told hin
she still loved him. While AVerii

The denouement came before Justice
Erlanger, when AVerill asked the di

Canton, the other a society young lady
of Massillon, were using the toboggan
slide.
In descending the slide their bathing
suits became entangled in the tobog-
gan and when they struck the water
they could not gain a foothold as the
water was too deep. They frantically
struggled to free themselves from the
tobOggan but only made the situation
worse. Two men who were in the wat

probability hang the success or fair
ure of his presidency. In the mo-
ment that he decides what course he
will pursue as to signing or refusing
to sign he will be making or unmaking
his political future.
And as a matter of fact, no one
can say whether as political move
it would be wiser for the president to
do one thing than the other, because
no one can read the future for a GER

president finds himself in:
On one hand he stands at the head
Of the party of protection; he was
elected president of the United States
with a campaign fund furnished by
the sugar trust, the steel trust, the oil
trust and the other big industrial COM
binations. When the corporations
contributed to the Republican cam
paign fund they we'll understood the

standpatters of his party, who are in
absolute control of the political ma.
chine which nominates presidents and
elects them with corporation-contri

him, charging him with deserving the
Republican policy of protection.
II the president signs the bill the
stand-patters, Messrs. Aldrich, Can.

SAVED HUNDRED LIVES YET HAS NO MEDAL
Edward Snyder, Meyers Lake
Life Saver Deserves Carnegie
Medal for Rescuing Many
From the Water.

Although he has saved a hundred
lives, Edward Snyder has never re-
ceived a medal.
Snyder is life saver at Meyers Lake
bathing beach.
For the past rs years he has made
it his business to save lives. No ac-
curate record has ever been kept of
the persons who owe their lives to
his splendid and heroic efforts, but
one hundred would not complete the
record
Scarcely a day passes that some one
does not go to the beach at the lake
for their life. They come from near
and far and are Of all ages.
Some of them were taken from the
water more dead than alive, and only
by heroic measures and tenacious
ness on Mr.. Snyder's part were they
revived.
He is modest and reiring and seldom
talks about his thrilling exploits, but
when in reminiscent mood, among
friends, he relates some Of his battles
with the waves to save drowning per-
sons, the listeners are awed
Mr.. Snyder has earned the sobri-
quet of water dog" by his aquatic
feats. The waves never get too rough
nor the water too cold for him to go
to the rescue of fellow being in dan
ger of drowning. He is an expert
swimmer and diver and has rare pres
ence of mind in critical situations.
All that is needed for him to plunge
,,+n n ,Io -,
of bather is cry for help
People have learned to place conf
dence in his ability. Small boys tell
their anxious parents that there is no
danger, because Snyder will watch
them" and the assurance goes far in
the gaining of the parents consent.
He not only watches that they do
not get beyond their depth while
bathing but he gives them valuable
advice when they are learning to swim.
Many a boy says with pride: Il
learned to swim from Snyder at the
lake"
His duties are by no means light.
During the bathing season thousands
of persons take advantage of the lake
beach and some days when there are
large piCnics he is the busiest man
on the grounds.
Reckless persons attempt to do what
they cannot accomplish and then he
has to go to their assistance or the
water would claim them as victims.
Without the least thought of danger
to himself he plunges into the water
and soon a repentant swimmer is on
the hath house platform
There are instances where he. saved
as many as four lives in a SINCE mo-
ment. Severa years ago two women,
