Chas. Abbott Hurt
While In Swimming

While swimming off Long Wharf
last night, about eight O'Clock, Chas.
Abbott, son of Mr.. and Mrs. James
Abbott, narrowly escaped very seri-
Gus injury.
1t appears that some of the other
swimmers had found a sunken skiff
with which they had been playing.
Abbott, who at the time was on the
wharf, did not know just where the
lsunken boat was, and it was not I'M
til he was in the air on a running
dive that he saw it beneath him. He
Immediately tried to avoid the COLI
sion by throwing out both hands, but
it was then too late, and he came
down against the boat in full force.
The result was that his right arm
was broken, and his left arm was
slightly sprained; he also received a
deep cash upon the head, and was
otherwise very seriously shaken up.
1t was necessary for him to be help
ed from the water, after which he
was carried to the hospital, where
his injuries were dressed.
He is now at his home on Hughlett
street, and although suffering con-
siderably, is getting along very
nicely.

Narrow Escape From
Drowning Last Night

Three young men, Harry Wiley,
Harlie Wheatley and Edward Bur-
ton, narrowly escaped being drown
ed last night, about nine O'Clock,
when the boat, John West and Ga
ly," in which they had been sailing,
capsized. The young men were out
in the river a considerable distance
when a sudden flaw of the storm hit
them and turned the boat over. They
Immediately crawled upon the bot
tom of the craft and cried for help.
After a considerable length of time
they were heard by Messrs. Edwin
Harring and Joseph Dodson, who put
off in a gasoline boat, and, with the
aid of the search light of the steam
er Avalon, effected their rescue.
The boys extend their sincere
thanks to all those who aided them
in any way, and in particular to the
two aforenamed gentlemen.
Another boat, one in which Mr..
Linwood Brannock and Mr.. Jerome
Peters were sailing, was also caught
by the storm last night and captsized,
and it was only by very good fortune
that these two boys reached the hos
pital shore, after having drifted
around for quite a while.

Which Years Are Happiest?
BY RUTH CAMERON.

We fell to talking, the other day,
AS to which were tho happiest years
of a, mans or Woman'S life.
The occasion was the twenty-1irst
birthday Of Il young man. One Of the
guests. in toasting him, congratulated
him on being about to enter upon the
ten happicst years of a mans life
the years from tWenty-One to thirty
one
Then We all began to question
among ourselves if that were true.
y high school teacher once told me
that the five happiest years Of life
Wero the years from sixteen to
tWenty-onc. At the time, that seemed
to me absolutely authoritative, since
it came from one of those all
wise beings, teacher. AS l look
back, now, | can see that he was
probably not more than twenty three
or four himself, and perhaps not
wholly qualified to judge, He had
rather Il Wretched time with the
discipline in school and | suspect the
root of that statement may have been
that he was happier at college than
he had been in his teaching. I
should like to sec him now and ask
aim the same question. think he
might give a very different answer
One woman at the party, a grand
mother, said that the happicst year
of her life WAS the first year of hcr,

clared that the first year Of their
