PEER WHO SWAN NIAGARA
skeptlcaI American Not Satisfied With
Desboroush's Statement So His
Lordship Does 1t Again.

Among the peerage a fine patriotism
has been shown during the war, but no
member of the nobility has interested
himself more in patriotic auses than
Lord D~esborough.
He is known as one of the most re-
markable sportsmen Of the day, but
very few people are aware that he
has swum Niagara Falls on two sepa-
rate occasions.
After accomplishing the feat once
he was about to return to England,
and before the boat sailed was discuss
ing the subject with some friends.
An American, who was standing by,
specifically at last broke in with: Did
l hear you say o had swum Mia
gara?"
Eyes, I have" answered his lord
ship.
That's not good enough" laughed
the Yankee. mo man could attempt
it and come out alive"
Lord Desporough shrugged his
shoulders.
"Then 1 had better go back and
swim 1t again." he said. So, to the
amazement Of the American, he calmly
went back and swan Niagara for the
second time.

tra1led In the mire, and q minister, also
OF New Jersey, has his adversary arrest

one who has ever had experience with
clotheslines knows that interference with

very touchstone. the quick Of human en-

your clothesline. The n%eighbors are
argely conversant with your mental de-
%Yelopment through the medium Of what
the clothesline reveals when you hang all
your clothes on 1T on wash day.
They know whether you wear COM
bften you make changes and when you
cave off fiannels. They know how you

Tell how methodical you are by the way
you allow your clothes to be pinned to tho

line is SO intimate. 1t stands in with

One reason why we know SO little

IS because we never get a peep at their

With your city %neighbors through under

wash out their clothing themselves for

may have a steam drier in the basement.
It is no mystery, but just a scheme for
setting away from the clothesline.
In some past incarnation everybody
IN New York has suffered enough, and
every woman who keeps house knows
shat-after the clothes have gone
through the process of being made clean,
through endless rubbing and boiling and
more rubbing and rinsing and wringing
and starching and bluing and hanging
out, to have the line come down or be
pulled down-simply to have a man ar
rested for 1t. is too slight an express
sion of human emotion.
Lynching is too simple, too tri1ing an
expression. The first impulse is suicide
and d~isintegration.
There are some trials in life for which
there is absolutely no anodyne.

men on that account do not despair,
as though winter marked the

birds will come back to delight the

II Is this faith that gives s%prightli-
ness to the step and brightness to the

gives OF her life to the sucking babe;
it is the fathers faith as he imports
strength to the son sorry from sore
travail. 1t Is. IN Its last analysis,
faith in God. and trust in His infinite
wisdom.
Memorial day has It's value in re-
