YOU DON'T HAVE TO DROWN.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO DROWN.
Ninety-nine times in one hundred
drowning is the result of fright and
frenzy There is a public horror of
cramps: Not one case of cramps in
one thousand is dangerous if the vie
tim knows what to do and does it.
Every -long-distance- swimmer enter
ing a race expects to get cramps, yet
he doesn't drown and he doesn't stop
swimming, either He keeps going
until his legs are in knots; still, he
doesn't sink He plugs along until
there isn't another kick in him, and
even now he doesn't go down. In
stead of that he rolls over on his
back and waits for the boat to pick
him up. 1t may be minute or it
may be an hour, but until the boat
comes the expert will be floating
around like ship.
When you catch a cramp in your
arms or legs don't get excited. You
may yell, but keep yourself under
control. Don't exert yourself, for it
takes little or no effort to keep af1oat.
Crush down the feeling of panic.
Stretch out your arm or leg, as the
case may be, until you are -straining
to the utmost Then strain a bit
harder, and watch the Jumped mus
Gle go down. $500
The dangerous cramp is in the
stomach. When that takes you your
breath goes, and you are not able to
shout for help or even to articulate
a sound. I have known of just two
cases among hundreds of thousands
of swimmers When you get that
Kind of cramp you may as we'll say
your prayers, but you won't get it
if you don't eat for two hours before
going into the water. Professional
swimmers go hungry half day be-
fore entering race, and they never
know such a thing as. a stomach
cramp.
If a ,bather in trouble would use
common sense he meyer would drown.
The belief is. general that three times

you make the mistake of taking

THE STRANGE CASE OF ELLA
.GINGLES:

Inc Otnef DAY a chicago jury dis
posed of the strangest criminal case
on record
Early. in January Miss Agnes Bar
rette, who keeps a lace store at the
Wellington Hotel, had Ella Gingles,
a seventeen-year-old girl, arrested,
charged with stealing some Irish
lace. Miss Gingles, who is an ex-
pert lace maker, left Ireland less
than two years ago, and at the time
of her arrest had been in Chicago
only few weeks. So
She had no influential friend, but
denied the charge and threw herself
on the mercy of Captain O'Brien,
who induced Patrick H. ODonnelr
and John P. rO,Shaughnessy, two of
Chicago's leading lawyers, to under
take her defense. They Interested
number of club women in the case
and went quietly about the work of
preparing for a speedy trial
The girl, having bee117 released
on bail, had dropped from public
notice, when suddenly one morning
Chicago aWoke and found the world

man." and declaring that She would
not go to French Lick to be white
slave. In her delirium she re-
peatedly mentioned the names of
Agnes Barrette-an Cecilia Kenyon.
When Miss Gingles recovered her
senses she told the most revolving
tale ever framed by human tongue.
Language never portrayed deeper
depths Of depravity and degradation
than set forth in her story. For the
first time many pure-minded club
women heard how Mstful demons in

Indeed our interests are Identical

This city In which / speak has
heritage of commercial standing
which it ought to cherish. There was
time when its splendid harbor was
always salive with ships, when it's
bills of exchange ranged in the ports
of the world ahead of those of Lon
don. Its merchants of the old time
supplied imports to the merchants
of Philadelphia and New York.
What do we see here now? One
of the finest harbors on the Atlantic
with waters undistufbed by naviga-
BILE craft. This condition has been
brought about by the institution of
slavery and free trade. The traffic in
ships upon our lakes is magnificent.
The opportunity here is greater
than that upon the lakes. On the
foothills Of the nearby mountain
country are five million spindles and
corresponding looms, weaving fab
RIGS suitable to the markets Of the
world. The products of these looms
will yield $100,OOO,OOO annually.
Yet this Is only half of what Is in the
whole South.
All other manufactured products
in wood, iron, cotton oil, and other
materials, and the aggregate pro-
ducts to draw from to this and other
Southern ports would reach $780,
100000 in value.
One per cent of this aggregate
amount spent to encourage ships
would probably develop some great
lines and put large quantities of these
goods to foreign markets in South
America and other countries.
Let us maintain a system under
which we have done so much already
and let us add to the protection prin-
ciple a policy by which we may get
ships, and then by the factories on

Mistrinl in the Harrison Case.

Greenyille, Jan. 29.-After being
out since half past three o'clock yes
terday afternoon the jury in the case
of Jesse Harrison, charged with tho
murder Of Fred Rubie, reported at
nine o'clock last evening that it was
unable to agree upon verdict.
Judge Shipp decided that he would
not hold the jury further and mis-
trial was ordered. Attorney for the
defendant asked that bail be granted,
and Judge Shipp fixed the amount at
$4,000, which was promptly given,
and for the first time since last Octo-
ber, when the tragedy occurred,
Jesse Harrison went to his home last
night.
The announcement that the jury
could not agree came as no surprise,
as it was thought that if the jury
had stayed out that long without
reaching a verdict there was little
possibility that it would be able to
agree.
