Young Girl Swimmer
Makes New Record.

New York, Aug. 13.-Rose P1tlno1'
the 16-year-old swimmer of Boston,
succeeded tonight in her attempt to
swim from east Twenty-sixth street,
Manhatten, to Coney Island. Last
year she had to abandon a similar et-
fort because of adverse tides, but to-
day, although forced at times to swim
80 far out of her course that she is es-
timsted to have covered some 81 miles
in making the distance Of 1s miles, she
finished strong, actually sprinting as
she neared the goal.
Miss Pitinof was in the water 8 hours
and minutes. She took no stinhu.
lants or food OF any kind on the long
trip. Most Of the way she used the
breast stroke, but for two stretches
she resorted to the speedier overland.
The young woman's feat of today
had not before been accomplished.
Several swimmers have made the trip
from the Battery to Coney Island, but
none from point so far up the East
river.

Look Pleasant.

We cannot. of course, all be handsom
And it's hard for US all to be good;
We are sure now and then to be lonely
And we don't always do what we
should.
To be patient is not always easy,
To be cheerful is much harder still;
But at least we can always be pleasant
If we make up our minds that we
will.
And it pays every time to be kindly,
Although we feel worried and blue;
If you smile at the world and look
cheerful,
The world will smile back at you, +,
So try to brace up and look pleasant,
No matter how long you are down;
Good humor is always contagious,
But you Danish your friends with a
frown.
