HOW MUIR LEARNED TO SWIM
Famous Naturalist Tells How He Sue
eeeded BY Taking Lessons From
the Frogs.

One hot summer day father told
us that we ought to learn to swim,
John Muir writes in the Atlantic.
This was one OF the most interesting
suggestions that be had offered. but
precious little time was allowed for
trips to the lake, and he seldom
tried to show US how. "Go to the
frogs" he said, ''and they will give
you all the lessons you need. Watch
their arms and legs and see how
smoothly they kick themselves along
and dive and come up. When you
want to dive, keep your arms by
your side or over your head, and
kick, and when you want to come up
let your legs drag and paddle with,
your hands,"
We found a little basin among the
rushes at the south end Of the lake,
about waist deep and rod or two
wide, haped like a sun dragons
nest. Here we kicked and splashed
for many lesson, faithfully trying
to initiate frogs, but the smooth,
comfortable, sliding gait of our am
phibious teachers seemed hopelessly
hard to learn. When we tried to
kick frog fashion down went our
heads, as if weighted with lead, the
moment our feet left the ground.
One day it occurred to me to hold
my breath as long as I could and let
my head sink as far as it liked with
out paying any attention to it, and
try TO swim under the water instead
of on the surface. This proved a
great success, for at the very first
trial I managed to cross the basin
without touching the bottom, and
soon learned the use of my limbs.
Then of course swimming was so
easy that it seemed perfectly natural.

KOW NEEDLES ARE FASHIONED
Operation Of Producing Useful House
hold Implement by No Means
Simple One.

The first step in the manufacture
OF needles is the cutting Of the steel
wire, by shears, from coils into the
length Of the needles to be made.
When such bits as have been cut out
have been given bath, they are then
placed in a furnace, after which they
are rolled until perfectly straight.
Then needle-pointer takes up a
dozen or so of the wires and rolls
them between his thumb and finger,
their ends being applied to turning
grindstone, first one and then the
other being ground. Next the little
steel bobbins are fed into machine
that fattens and cutters the heads,
after which operation the eyes are
punched.
Complete needles are now at hand,
but they are rough and easily bent.
Careful tempering gives them the
necessary hardness, and they need
nothing more but final polish. The
needles are spread, to the number of
forty or fifty thousand, on a coarse
cloth. Emery dust is strewed over
them, oil is sprinkled on, and soft
soap daubed over the cloth, which,
rolled tightly, is thrown into a pot
with others where it rolls about for
twelve hours or more. When taken
from this friction bath the needles
are given rinsiag in clean, hot
water, and then are ready for tha
sorters and packers. ]

All hands in Arkansas are now
making an effert to build good
roads, and this is what Arkansas
needs. Build good roads and
the price Of land will go high e.
nough. The high price of lands
helps no one but the real estate
men and the fellow that wants to
sell. High priced lands do not
make any more corn and cotton
than any other kind. The man
who is coming to Arkansas to
make a home wants lands as
cheap as he can get them, and
cheap lands are an inducement.

STOLE THE ARMY'S MOUNTS
Horse Thieves That Annoyed General
Buell. at Fort Griffin Pursued
and Slain.

Like every other frontier army
post or civilian settlement, Fort
Griffin had troubles Of its own, says
Denver Field and Farm. In 1870
horse stealing had become such a
business as to be numbered among
the infant industries. Old General
Buell. was in command there at the
time and vowed vengeance on the
satellites of the saddle who were
prowling around nights and running
off the government stock. The black
soldiers of the Tenth cavalry always
voted themselves smart enough to
guard Uncle Sans property through
the lonesome vigils Of the night, but
they could not outwit the horse
thieves, and the stealing went right
on.
The meanest gang in the country
was that Of Lloyd and Gresham, for
they did wholesale business every
time they came around. Finally
they got away with over hundred
head of cavalry mounts one night
when the eavallard was grazing out
side under negro guard. The fol-
lowing morning Lieutenant Hunter
and company Of the buffalo troops
took the trail and Buell's last word
was to bring back the stock or keep
away altogether. Eight miles west
OF Fort Griffin they came IN the
night to the Canyon Blanco and
espied the thieves asleep IN their
blankets.
At the peep Of day the charge was
made and every last one of the gang,
nine of them in all, were shot dead
as they slumbered peacefully on, and
their bodies were left to feed the
proving coyotes and the carrl L
buzzards. For these riders Of the
plains were the men chat God made
mad, for all their words were merry
and all their songs ware sad Lie
was a little too short in those days
to stop and bury horse thieves and
their bones lie bleaching there today
N the happy Texas sunlisht.
