how he WAS called over the telephone

but whose utter unconventionality
makes him all the more dangerous an
opponent? But you shall hear, and
draw your own conclusions.
While / was serving with my regi-
ment In Algeria, we were stationed at
Wargla, dreary post lying on the
outskirts OF the great desert, where
there was little to do except eat and
sleep. We had been there for some
months without anything occurring to
break the monotony of our existence.
when to our great delight, we were
one day ordered upon active service.
Reports had reached headquarters
that a certain Mohammed ell Hadid
had declared himself to be a prophet
and was melting the desert tribes to
join him in holy war. We were or
dered to take the field at once. find
the reputed prophet, and stamp out
the rebellion before il had chance
to spread further-orders which you
may well believe afforded us the
keenest pleasure.
After a five days march through
encamped at HASA Insokki, on the
Moussa river. We found. however.
that the prophet, with a military skill
for which we had not given him credit.
was strongly entrenched among the
foothills with which the country at
that point abounded, and it was at
once evident that dislodging him
would be task of considerable diff
Guilty
I'VE accordingly encamped in front
of his lines, and. having thrown up
hasty entertainments and established
suitable outposts to guard against sur
prise, we settled down to study the
hard problem before us.
"1t was evident that Mohammed
was the mainstay of the revolt. and
that II he could be either killed or
captured the tribes that had Joined
him could, lacking a leader. be easily
crushed. But IL did not seem possible
to get at the prophet in any way ex-
cept by a general assault, and our
colonel had about decided upon that
course, when quite Unexpectedly a
way out OF our difficulties was opened
for us, and an opportunity presented
to show the fanatical Motammedans
that their belief in the reputed pow
ers Of their prophet was in vain.
"Mohammed. was noted for his great
skill in swordsmanship and possessed
a blade which was said TO be able to
cut through the sword of any infidel.

The New York Press in q resent is
sue gives this extremely good advice
to bathers and swimmers and incidently
gives information of the greatest value.
1t is particularly appropos at this time
of year in Michigan whose numerous
summer resorts all of them intimately
associated with water are now in full
swing. The Press makes it plain that
in the great majority of cases it is
harder to drown than it is to keep
alive In almost every case where lite
is lost in the water it is the result of
fright and frenzy. In large nu IN Der
of instances cramps are the direct
cause and all have afear of them. Not
one cramp case In hundred, how
ever is dangerous if the victim knows
what to do. Every long distance
swi mer who enters race expects TO
have cramps. but he doesn't stop on
that account. He keeps going until
his legs are in knots and then he
keeps on If YOU get a cramp in your
leg or arm do not get excited Just
strike out strong. stretch the limb to
its utmost and then strain to stretch
it still farther and see the knots dis
appear.
The most dangerous cramp is in the
stomach. That takes away your
breath. But you will not get it you
eat nothing two hours before entering
the water Of course if YOU fall in.
the only thing TO do is TO get out and
YOU can invariably do this if YOU
keen your wits about YOU and do not
get scared so badly that you do not
know what you are about
The belief is general that when one
goes down into the water for the
third time it Is all up. If you draw
YOUR lungs full of water this is true
and it may be true if you swallow 3
lot of water But if you keep your
mouth shut and hold your breath
when YOU 20 down you will keep going
down and coming up all dav Relax
YOU mucles and keep-still. Then Won
will. not go down lower than your
ears and in few seconds you will
rise unil your shoulder is out of the
water. You can keen doing this in
detnately. Do not struggle and ex-
haust Yourself. In case of accident
keen cool-thst's the main thing.
Know that you can't drown unless
you drown yourself. and give nature
a chance.
