min" as often as the sun rises and

literature reflects that, or did when
It was yet polite to write of such
homely matters as the every day long
ings, activities, ingenuities, pranks
and speech Of boys.
1t did not surprise us to read that
when they lacked a bridge to cross n
river American soldiers swan: not
even when one such notable perform.
ance included a division In which
were boys from the congested East
Side Of Manhattan. Passengers on
Sound steamers In hot summer eve
nings have seen countless boys and
young men, from Corlears Hook to
He'll Gate. wearing brief bathing suits
in obedience to ordinance, tumbling
about of the ends of wharfs as much
at home in water as on land. Many
staid business men in this city know
that to "chew raw beer means in
swimming time to unite at the waters
edge closely knotted clothing; know
the unearthly sound reaching sub
merged ears when two stones are
knocked together under water.
Little of all that boy time play is
found in any but American writing
so far as we have seen. BYRON was
a powerful swimmer and confessed It
when he praised his Don JuAN for
the same requirement:
He could perhaps have passed the
Hellespont,
AS once IA feat on which ourselves we
prided)
LEANDER. Mr.. EKENHEAD. ana ala"
There Is at Harrow, BYRoN's public
school, bend of the Cam River called
Byron's Pool. though ERNEST HIATT
LEY CoLERIDGE says that BYRoN's fav-
orite swimming hole was Duck Pond,
now called Quicker.
But BYRON never wrote OF an old
swimmln' hole. and we doubt that II
he had he would have struck out such
q response from millions OF memories
as did the American poet when he
celebrated such a resort.
At popular British seaside resorts
you may see not 80 many scores Of
bathing machines" little cabins on
wheels, horse drawn to the tides
edge, as you may see thousands OF
bathers in the surf at scores Of Amer
lean beaches.
SwINBURNE was another British
poet who sang the 10Y OF the sport.
although not in language which Is
likely to become hothersomely popu-
lar. In "a Swimmers Dream" he
wrote:
"A purer passion. a iordlier leisure.
A peace moro happy than lives on
land
Fulhls with pulse of diwne- pleasure
The dreaming head ana steering
hand"
JAMES WHITcoMB RILEY caught and
voiced the spirit OF the popular Amer
lean play Of youth in a poem which
probably would not be understood by
those who have wondered that our
young men In France, always willing
10 fight, were more content II at
the end Of hard days battle they
could find fun and refreshment IN a
swimming hole, all the more liked by
the country bred boys II It were such
as RILEY celebrated:
Obi the old swimm!n' holei In che
long lazy days
When the huTn-drum OF school made so
many runawnys.
How pleasant was the Journey down the
old dusty lane.
WHARF the tracks OF our bare feet was
all printed so plane
You could tell by the dent OF the heel
and the sole
They was lots O. fun on hands at the
old swimmIn' hole.
But the lost Joys Is past let your
tears in sorrow roll
Like the rain that ust 20 dapple up TIE

With battered stsfrs and tattered folds.
