Young Woman Fails
To Make Long Swim

NEW YORK. July 21.-Miss Rose
Pitonoff, who holds many medals for
long-distance swimming, made an
an unsuccessful attempt to swim from
the Battery sea wall to Sandy Hook
When the plucky young woman ar
rived at the Battery the tide was
coming in strong. and she was advised
by her father and brother. who ac-
companied her, to postpone her swim.
She only smiled, and. stepping to the
edge of the wall. dropped her gown,
and. standing a moment in a skin
tight bathing suit, she dived into the
water and started on her long trip.
She was carried back by the most
powerful tide of the season and came
dangerously near the rocks at the
Battery wall, but by clever maneuver-
ing she avoided an accident.
After making several attempts she
reached the end of Governors Island,
but was unable to go further.

The next morning dawned clear. Pres

side came an elderly lady.
"Oh! grandma, what a lot of things
are up here cried the child in de-
light.
"Will you please step up here" called
the lady to a man at the foot of the
stairs. In a moment a furniture man
came slowly into the attic.
Il would like to sell this mirror.

What is this desk?' asked the girl.
1T looks so dirty one cannot see of
what 1t is made" The man pulled it
to the light.
The old lady started in surprise and
tears came into her eyes.
That Is a real mahogany desk-it
was my bridal present from my faith
er." she exclaimed. The wood is most
beautiful, but it is hidden now by dust
l thought it had been stolen-oh! how
glad l am to find it again.
So the old red desk was taken down
and cleaned. The dust was washed off
the wood rubbed and the brass handles
polished. and now in the big window
Of the parlor it stands, shining and
beautiful. And here grandma sits every
morning happily dreaming OF the past
But down in the dirty carpenter shop
a silly mirror weeps over her fate.

cleaning and blocking hats are rag
ulated by the size, and the best Of work
is done. There are several hat clean

pins, being careful not to break the
straw. and turning an electric fan on
it Is a safe way. The hat is dried In
the exact shape desired.

"A Worthy Sentiment,

Governor Ammons in recent address
before the students of the State Uni
lversity is reported to have said:
'i.et us get together for Colorado,
not against her and let no man COM
merclalize his office on any lecture plat
form by dealing in things that are long
past and reflect to the states disgrace
,and5dishonor."
This is a sentiment that speaks vol.
'umes in loyalty to Colorado and it is a
sentiment that the,good people of Dem
|ver should try and impress upon their
County Judge Lindsey, who, during his
terms of Office. has spent much time in
other states "commercializing his office
on the lecture platform" by greatly
|magnifying the evils and wrongs that
have existed in our state in times past.
