George AIDE says that when he was a
cub reporter with very small salary he
had lust one asset that enabled him to

poverty seemed to be staring him in the
face.
The asset was handsome gold watch,
a keepsake of his college days in In

would take his watch over to a pawn

Then he would hurry over to the pawn

Finally, after this had been going on

SWIMMING IN SAFETY.
m Pearsons Weekly.

FROM Pearsons weekly,
More fatalities occur through stopping
in the water too long than through cur
rents. or cramp. or boating accidents, or
any other single cause.
Cramp is the scapegoat of the careless
In reality 1t rarely occurs; and if it comes
when you are within your depth, as you
ought to be. it need not worry you.
II you are foolish enough to swim
out" and are seized with cramp in so
doing, it will only come in one leg first.
Turn at once on your back, stretch the
cramped leg as far you can, and bel
low for assistance
One little suspected cause of fatalities is
this A little wave strikes the face and
sends lot of spray into the larnyx there
by causing suffocation and sending the
swimmer to the bottom. Therefore, be
careful to keep the mouth closed when
swimming.
Don't make the mistake of cooling off
before entering the water. When you are
heated and perspiring is the best time.
Remember the cold plunge at the Turkish
bath which is given when the body is
streaming with sweat. This is beneficial
Cooling off is positively bad.

should drop it, or else you have been

ternal organs. thereby congestlng brain,
liver and lungs. And when you leave the
water the process is reversed. The skin
tingles, relief Is given to the organs, the
heart beats merrily, and you feel buoyant.
That tired, listless feeling you have after
stopping in too long is because the heart
and brain still remain overloaded.
Remember that more accidents occur to
swimmers than to non-swimmers. Prob
ably 90 per cent OF these are prevent
able.
If you are caught in a current there IS
no need to become flustered. Don't squan-
der your strength by trying to swim
against it. Swim with 1t. While doing
so try to edge off on the shore side The
current weakens on its fringe, and the inn
petus you gain by swimming with 1T will
often enable you to break away. If you
cannot do this, get on your back, sig
nal to anyone who may be within hail and
keep afloat as long as you can.
Very many currents will simply take
you out little way and bring you in
again further down the coast. This is es-
pecially true of currents in bays and at
river mouths Therefore, save your
strength and keep swimming.

Control of the Far East

Recent trustworthy dispatches show
that while perhaps no formal treaty
has been signed by Japan and Russia
concerning the control Of the far east,
yet it is plain that an international
trust has been formed by the two ma
tions and that they will control Man
churia and Mongolia down to the Chi
nese wall.
France is tied to Russia by treaty
relations, and so is Great Britain to
Japan, and the new scheme practical
" leaves the United States and Ger
many out in the cold. Both are in
position to demand an open door to
the Far East, and if they do not do
it Manchuria and Mongolia will be
closed against trade from either.
The "open-door" policy has long
been endorsed by this country, and
the time has come when something
more than diplomatic expressions are
needed. An ultimatum from Germany
and the United States is the true rem
edy against the Russo-Japanese
scheme which is fast crystallizing in
to fact. Russia has forgotten her
war with Japan and Japan thinks
half a loaf is better than no loaf at
all. Pronounced and unmistakeable
action by Germany and the United
States is needed if the door in the Far
East is to stay open. Otherwise Japan
and Russia will control vast trade
all along the Chinese frontier

srRATEGY OF BASEBALL

From C. H. Claudy's playing the
Game" in September ST. Nicholas.
There are things in ball game not
mentioned in the rules. A team made
up of players who had never seen nor
read of a game, and had never had
any instruction outside of the rules,
would have no hit-and-run plays; no
squeeze plays; probably no men caught
"hat-footed" off base; no duble steals;
no delayed steals; no shifting OF the
infield according to the runners on, the
score and the "outsf' no signaling;
no signal stealing; no hidden ball
tricks; no "stalling" tricks. by which
a player is led to think ball is field
ed in one place when it is really fielced
lelsewhere--in fact, the very heart and
soul of baseball would be missing. The
batter would hit or walk and patiently
wait for his successor to hit or walk
TO advance him. Runs would be in ex-
act proportion to hits, and outs would
be made onlys1n the stereotyped ways,
and-nobody would care either to play
or to see the game!
So IT might be said. without much
fear of contradiction. that the strategy
of the game, the part played by brains
and wits, is more to baseball than
athletic ability to run. hit. field or
throw, spectacular and exciting as
plays made only by strength, muscle
and skill must always be.

Looking Over the States

New York went democratic in 1876
1884 and 1892, and history will prob
ably repeat itself in 1912. Yet all
feel that the vast population of nearly
ten millions of people in the Empire
state constitute a storm center that
needs close attention. Her 45 votes
in the electoral college is always de-
sirable and generally that vote has
been decisive.
This year such states as Maine,
Connecticut, Massachusetts, New
Hampshire, New Jersey, Ohio, Hi

Use to go democratic, and if they do a
slump in New York would not be Sc

pretty sure to support Woodrow Will

graft scandal may prove to be, or
what happens to Tammany and the
politicians. In no way can Governor
Wilson be connected with that scandal
and the hope is that the New York
democrats will get together in sup
port of Governor Dix or some other
good man for governor. The Barnes
party will either nominate ex-Speaker
Wadsworth or District Attorney
Whitman. If they nominate Whitman

MONEY IN BUTTERFLY FARM

land Is covered with bushes underground
and saplings, with a few big trees. Nearly
every young tree or bush is enveloped in
huge bags OF gauze or hanging zine cages,
while many clumps of trees are entirely
surrounded by wire netting as protection
from birds. On the leaves within these
bags of gauge or perforated zinc cages
caterpillars of infinite variety are feed
ing.
Around the house Mr.. Newman has
number of queer looking glass cages, at
the bottom of which are TO be found grass
and pot or two of flowers. These are
the initial breeding places. II put the fe-
males into these cages" explained Mr..
Newman, "and they lay their eggs there.
The eggs hatch into caterpillars on the
trees. 1 keep them well and fat by chang
ing them from one tree to another, per-
haps as often as four or five times a
week They are transferred to other fol-
iage when they change into chrysalides.
and as soon as they hatch into full bloom

poison them in cyanide of chloroform.
Then begins the tricky and tedious job

This much is absolutely necessary. Any

While the corporations now operat-
ing in this district, have acquired most
of the good ores, there are some small
tracts left in the hands of individuals
who bought them for speculative in
vestment. There are a few large
bodies of lean ore land held outside of
the corporations, and these will some
day be in demand.
Mr.. Catlett makes some simple cal
culations which will be of interest to
the iron world generally, and espe-
cially the iron circles of this district.
He concludes his article as follows:
"At the threshold, therefore, of what
will end in great boom in iron, VEN

NOTED HOTEL,

John Galsworthy in Scribner's Magazine.
On the crumbling black and white mar
BILE floorings the water indeed was trick
ling into pools. And down in the halls
there came to us wandering-strangest
thing that ever strayed through deserted
grandeur-a brown, broken horse, lean,
with a sore flank and head of tre-
mendous age. 1t stopped and gazed at
us, as though we might be going to give
It things to eat. then passed on, stumbling
over the ruined marbles.
For moment We had thought him a
ghost-one of the many. But he was not,
since his hoofs sounded. That scrambling
clatter had died out into silence before
we came to the dark. cryplike chamber
whose marble columns were ringed in
iron. veritable pillars of foundation. And
then we saw that our old guides hands
were full of newspapers. She struck a
match; they caught fire and blazed. Hoid-
ing high that torch, she said:
"See Up there's his name, above
where he stood. The auctioneer. oh.
yes, indeed! Here's where they sold
theml"
Below that NAME decaying on the wall,
we had the slow. uncanny feeling that
someone was standing there in the CLEAN
and flicker of that paper torch. For a
moment the whole shadowy room seemed
full of forms and faces Then the torch
died out, and our old guide. pointing
through an archway with the blackened
stump of 1t, said.
"Twas there they kept them-indeed,
yes.'
We saw before us sort of vault, stone
built, and low, and long. The light there
was too dim for us to make out anything
but balls, and heaps of rusting scrap iron
cast out there and moldering down. But
trying to pierce that darkness we be-
came conscious of innumerable eyes gaz-
ing, not at us, but through the arch
way where we stood; innumerable white
eyeballs cleaning out of blackness. From
behind us came a little laugh. 1t fioated
past through the archway, toward those
eyes. Who was it laughed in there? The
old south itself-that increditable, fine, lost
SOUL That "old time thing of old ideals.
blindfoded by its own history! That
queer proud blend of simple chivalry
and tyranny, of piety and the abhorrent
thing Who was it laughed out of that
old slave market, at these white eyeballs
slaring from out of the blackness of this
dark cattle pen? What poor departed
soul in this House of Melancholy? Tut
there was no sghose when we turned to
look -Aonly our old guide with her sweet
smile.
Yes. sub Here they all came-twas
the finest hotel-before the war time: old
southern families-bought their property.
Yes, ma am, very interesting. This way.
And here were the bells TO all the rooms.
Broken, you see--all broken.'
And rather quickly we passed away, out
OF that ''old time place.; where something
had laughed. and the drip, drip, drip of
water down the walls was as the sound of
spirit grieving.

Gunmen in the Effete East

Lefty Louie" and "Gyp the Blood"
are accused of completely in the Ro-
senthal murder which is distinctly re-
lated to the police graft scandals of
New York City. The two men are
professional gunner, and they are
still as much at large as are the two
gunner that shot up the courtroom in
Virginia courthouseS
But how is it that an eastern city
contains gunner? The occupation is
recognized and apparently well estab-
lished. Heretofore the Far West and
the Far South have had gunner, but
now the Far East is keeping up with
the procession.
A gunman in the east is man who
has record. He may>not keep this
record on his gun, but he must at any
rate have shot number of people full
of holes. Some gunner stand high
err than others, but no man is consid-
cred gunman in New York unless he
can cut several notches on his gun. 1t
is in truth profession, and scarcely
any one is ignorant of the fact that
the big city has many prominent, even
popular, gunner. This or that man
is spoken of as "a we'll known gun
man." And even New York does not
seem a bit ashamed of its notoriety in
this respect.
