Fred Bochleman was in the field husk-

quickly wrapped 1T around his arm.
The team continued to run and the boy

their expert knowledge of conditions
or both sides of the Atlantic is of
material help to all concerned.
The Commissioners are all men of
ripe experience in matters of govern
ment and are thoroughly conversant
with the results likely to grow out of
the introduction of modern industrial
training. The development of our
commerce and the Strengthening of
our financial system. Their investi-
cations are being conducted with the
utmost care, and no stoneaSis being
left unturned that will enable them
to carry back to Presidentk Taft the
exact truth concerning Liberals re-
sources and needs. It is not doubted
that their recommendations will be
wise and that they will give evidence
of a sincere desire to receive the de
plorable situation now existing in
this land
The Commission expects to COM
plete its work within fifteen or twen-
y more days. A trip will then be
taken down the Liberian coast to
Grand Bassa and Cape Palmas.
The American public may already
be familiar with the personnel of the
Commission which is as follows:
Mr.. Roland p. Falkner, chairman
Messrs. Emmett J. Scott and George
Sale, members; Mr.. George A. Finch,
secretary; Major Percy NJ. Ash
burn, medical attache; Captain Sid
uey A. Cloman, military attache; Mr..

Shame on the race that holds in
its hands the wealth of the continent,
and carries in its train the accumulat-

an excuse for the denial of rights.
Never until the white man has spent
his last surplus dollar and exhausted
the last faculty of his train in the
effort to lift up his brother, never
until then can he stand in the pres
ence of infinite justice and complain
of the ignorance and criminality of
the black.

swim by the excessive consideration they
give their hair in the water.
Women have as intense a dislike for
getting their hair wet as feIines have
for dampening their pelts. I've had girls
come to me with the extraordinary propo-
sition that they'd become swimming pu-
pills OF mine if I'd absolutely guarantee
them that they wouldn't ever have to get
their hair wet while learning. I've never
given such crazy guarantee. of course
On the contrary. I'm afraid that I've
laughed at their proposition. There never
was rubber cap invented that would
keep woman bathing either i'm fresh or
salt water from getting her hair wet IL
she really got into the water, and the
girl who really wants to learn how TO
swim might just as well make up her
mind to that fact
Il don't permit my girl pupils to wear
rubber caps at all. l tell them that get
ting their hair wet is one of the penalties
OF the game. But they're always thinking
of their hair, and that accounts in part
for their way of holding their bodies SO
rigidly while they're in the water They
have it constantly i'm mind that they must
keep their necks well stretched out in the
water in order not to wet their hair, and
that sort of thing makes the spine rigid
and spoils the relaxation Of muscles and
body which the swimmer must always
maintain"

his life and better than that.
Pack Upton, who was shot to ribbons
by a posse of Colorado deputy marshals
in 1885, had flyer faro layout in Duran
go, Col. in 1881. Upton was what you
might call pizen all the way through.
He had pretty nearly as much Indian
in him as white. although the red blood
didn't show in his features very much,
and he had chipped at least half dozen
notches in his slay. gun before he struck
Durango. 1t was generally known. too
that he hadn't been on the level In his
way Of killing several Of his victims. and
when he got into Durango and set up his
game he was looked upon by all hands
and Durango wasn't peopled by trouble
duckers then, either-as a pretty good
sort of q citizen to let alone.
He wasn't popular, of course. but his
game was perfectly on the square and
he had plenty of play. He did most OF
the dealing himself, and he often dealt
without the services of a lookout, %
eagle-eyed was he In watching every
move on the layout.
Before the little thing happened I'm
going to tell about Upton had gotten into
several arguments with fellows who were
bucking his game, and on each occasion

been compelled to back out of the door

of recklessness. I've got a class Of boy
pupils. and. far from having any trouble
with them on account of timidity, l have
to keep constant eye on the cubs to
keep them from taking unnecessary
chances. The shavers want to hop into
the deep water before they've learned
their strokes. They want to do the high
dive stuff before they've picked up the
knack of floating on their backs. They're
willing to take any old chance. This,
of course. really helps them in a way,
and yet they've got to be watched to see
that they don't go too far with their
ambition. After the second or third les
son my boys want to do all the fancy
stunts. and they strike out as IL they
intended to swim to Mozambique or Mad
agascar.

women possess is something beyond their

that they've got into water that Is over
their heads they go to pieces and begin
to struggle and grow faint and all that,
and when they get into the shadows again
they are as limp as rags.
Il wish the girls and young women
would cause themselves to become as
limp as rags when they're taking their
first lessons in swimming. But they won
relax themselves that way. AS soon as
the average girl taking her first swim
ming lessons gets to the point of stepping
into water that is only about up to her
waist she begins to get about as rigid
as a small edition of the Cardiff Giant.
You tell her to relax and let herself go,
but you might just as we'll tell that to

they become as heavy as lead, and thus
they're just naturally bound to so down.
