Slander Laws Still Work

We have written more than ont
article recently in The Cherokee
Times, deprecating the most repre-.
hensible habit which some people
have acquired to indulge in idle gos.

Gus consequences when there is alb
sclutely no foundation for the gossip
Only few days ago we heard ar
individual circulating report that q
certain firm was on its "last legs
and that in few days the business
would be closed. We were in a posi-
iicn to know that there was no foun-
dation for the rumor which was being
.p.,ad, and so informed the tattler
at the same time telling him that the
punishment might be serious, in case
tie person involved should bring &C.
ticn. We hope this had the desired
effect, as we have heard no more OF
this kind of talk.
1t would be a splendid idea for us
when we hear anything unpleasant
about our fellow man, to find ou
whether or not is true, and If it In

never understand where people coule
derive pleasure from retailing un
pleasant reports about people, espec

Of an active vicious imagination.

STUDENTS TAUGHT SWIMMING.

Iowa City, iowa. Aug. 7.-At least
2,4O0 men students at the University
Of Iowa during the last six years have
learned to swim under the direction
of E. G. Schroeder. director Of physl-
cal education for men, in order to
fulfill the universities requirements
to graduates that they know how to
swim before they receive diplomas.
This has been an average OF 400 men
learning to swim each year.
Were trying to empha ize swim
ming for two reasons" said Director
Schroeder today. 1T can't be beat
for exercise and then there's the
question Of safety.
when a man gets in a tight place
and can't swim his mathematics aren't
going to help him. He could know
all the chemistry in the world and 1t
wouldn't do him any good.'>
Director Schroeder was responsible
for the recent assertion that 80 min
ute sis enough to learn how to swim
if the student brings the proper CO.
ordination and confidence into his at
tempts.

lady, when he saw a big fat mouse
run across the stage. The fat lady
evidently saw 1t at the same time, for
regardless of her part in the play, she
gave a frightened scream and jumped
up on a small rickety table which was
not strong enough to hold her. The
legs gave way and let her fall to the
floor. Finding herself there, and be-
ing afraid the mouse would run over
he low that she was down so low,
she shut her eyes and kicked and
screamed; while. the young lady stood
on a library table and waved the COW
er in the direction she had seen the
mouse go. to brighten him away.
All this made the audience laugh
most heartily, and theywere really en-
joNing the fat lady's plight when a
new phase of the case made them
roar with laughter again and again.
1t happened in this way: s
The stage manager, seeing the
plight the ladies were in. fastened
to their rescue He was just goine
to lift the fat lady. when she saw
the mouse come out from. its hiding
place and start toward the side en-
trance. On seeing it again. she threw
up%her hands and fell back into the
managers arms, Her. weight made

went. backwards, dragging the fat
lady with him. y !.
