NIAGARA FALLS, N. z, Aug.
25.-Disdaining attempts to rescue
him, an unidentified man. was
swept to death over the American
Falls.
He was first seen In the water
about 100 feet above Prospect
Point by State reservation police,
when he was being carried along
by the current in q sitting post
ure. He appeared to be about
sixty-five years old and had q
gray mugtache.
A life line was thrown to the
man, but he paid no attention to
1t. The lire was pulled back from
the stream and thrown out again,
but, still disregarding 1t, he was
borne over the brink about twenty
feet out from shore, still in the
sitting posture.
A search of the river bank re,
vealed no clothing or note that
would identify the man.

TRAVELLING

A good custom is better than Law
! Euripides
! OUR friends are beginning to travel
" again.
Now il is more like old times, and
! il our friends go abroad they go with
lighter hearts and with more baggage.
Therefore ii is quite the thing to give
them little gifts and, If they want as
to, to see them off. Be sure, though,
that you are wanted. Nothing is more
embarra ssIng than to arrive unexpect-
edly on the deck of a steamer to find
the friend you have gone to see on
surrounded by an invited party Of
which you are not a member SO don't
90 unless you are quite certain that
YOU are wanted, both for your sake
and for the sake OF the traveller.
AS for the gifts you send, be sure
that they are really desirable, and not
merely something that will fill mp the
steamer trunk and bags. If you know
Of some travelling accessory of which
your friend stands in need, that is a
good choice A book is never amiss
because after it is read it can be left
on shipboard If it is in the way.
Candy; although 1t is conventional
present, and one of the few things that
a man is supposed to give to woman,
is nevertheless not very good choice.
A great many persons even though
they enjoy ocean travel are particu-
larly careful not to indulge In sweets.
Flowers, another of the conventional
gifts Of men to women, are always in
perfectly good taste. However, they
are sometimes in the way In the state
room. II you know that anyone dis
likes flowers on the steamer don't send
them.
AS in all other cases where gifts are
a man may send flowers,
candy or books to woman. Books
in this case include magazines, and
sometimes half a dozen current maya
zines are as welcome a gift as anyone
could receive. They provide just the
kind of reading that some people like |
on shipboard and can be discarded |
without a qualm when their reader is |
through with them.

When the dark-eyed senoritas dancet
from midnight into dawn;
And I've listened to the tomtoms il

AS the hawking coolies swarmed

And I've thrilled when Tommy Atkins
puffed his flag there in Cathay,
Alternating "Rule, BRITANNIA with

While the Maltese skipper hummed

But the tune that brought the twinkle
Of a million angels feet
From the elfland halls Of glory
Round about the Mercy Seat,
Sweeping cheers and tears alternate
From the Bowery to the Strand,
Mid the zulus and the Bengals,
Was the Song of Dixielandl
