In the Desert.

Here is a glimpse of the horrors Of
western desert taken from the Gold
fild New News: Another desert
victim is reported, and Archie Camp
bell, manager of the Last Chance
mining property, near Death valley,
came to Goldfield yesterday to en-
deavor to establish the identity of the
unfortunate.
Mr.. Campbell encountered the I'M
known man on the desert in fright
full condition. He was in the last
stages of desert exhaustion, devoid
of clothing, sunburned, blistered and
crazed, with his tongue swollen enor-
mously, pitiable object, and unable
to speak.
He was tenderly conveyed to camp
but kind aid came too late, for an
hour after he had absorbed the first
cup of water he expired"

WHEN NOT TO SWIM
EVERY SWIMMER SHOULD AC'
QUIRE THIS KNOWLEDGE.
There Never Is Time When IL is
Safe Under Unsafe Conditions
No Precautions Considered
Excessive.

A single newspaper column reported
recently thirty cases of drowning In
places many miles apart, and under
conditions as diverse as possible. They
were not suicides, strictly speaking,
although the moral responsibility is
not greatly different in some of the
cases. 1t is mild statement that in
more than one instance the fatality
was not necessary. Many of the cases
were pathetic, some surprisingly so.
Young women died clasped in each
others arms, playmates died trying to
rescue each other, and there were one
or two cases of real accident through
falling Unexpectedly into water under
conditions preventing rescue or es-
cape. Such toll az this is shocking,
accustomed as we are to summer Sun
day drownings, the New York Times
says.
With the thermometer where 1t is,
it Is idle to advise even nonswimmers
not to go into the water. Since they
will do it, 1t is doubtful advice to learn
to swim, since 1t is the swimmers who
most frequently drown. Having taken
the responsibility of advising every
body to learn to swim, it is necessary
to supplement it by advising those
who have learned to learn also when
not to swim and dive and to enforce
this advice by morals drawn from such
awful examples. One young man broke
his neck and drowned because he
plunged head first into water which
he was told was shallow. How is it
possible to be truly sympathetic with
such recklessness?
And the indignation with such dis
regard of human life is similar even
when, as frequently happens, divers
persist in trying the depths of strange
waters with their heads instead of
their feet. 1t is not so grand to try
unknown. depths with a leap instead
of a dive. The difference between a
sprained ankle and broken neck
measures the degrees of vanity which
are behind these two methods of
plunging Boys who try to float on
board in deep water before they can
swim are just boys and can be rea-
soned with suitably only by their
parents.
This is only word of advice to
those who know how to swim, and ap-
pear to think that thereby they have
license to be foolish. There are
times and conditions which even swim
mers should not swim and there never
is a time when swimming is safe un-
der unsafe conditions. So long as wa
ter will strangle there is no perfect
safety in the water. So long as this
is true no precautions are excessive,
whatever the skill of the swimmer.
Except for show and only under con-
ditions where help is sure and near.
Everybody should learn both how to
swim and when and where not to
swim. Late newspapers are almost
perfect guide on the subject.

no ride too long: no country too stiff

at him.

ventured 81 don't see why you make
so much fuss over so little a thing"
One reply led to another and the
upshot of it all was that Miss Howard
was invited TO so on the next ninety
mile ride. and the invitation was as
promptly accepted then and there I'm

ride at least thirty miles each day for
