If a bather in trouble would use common sense he would not drown. The belief in general is that three times under water for the drowning person means crepe and flowers. It’s true, if you mistake taking water for air. Hold your mouth shut when under water, and you keep going down and coming up all day. Don’t exhaust yourself struggling. Relax every muscle and don't move a hand You’'ll find that you’ll never sink lower than your ears, and in a few seconds you will rise up until your shoulders are dry. You can keep on doing this indefinitely, but of course if you drink water you’ll get weight- ed and go down. A socialist held forth on our streets last Saturday evening and entertain- ed quite a crowd with his arguments to which some of the crowd answer- ed, and it was not long before the speaker called for police protection in order to continue his lecture. The warshal endeavored to prevent fur- interruption, but when the speaker commenced to refer to “Ted- dy’”” Roosevelt in an uncomplimentary manner a couple of farmers from {north of town took a hand in the ar- gument and when the marshal was unable to keep them from talking the socialist turned around and vented his spleen on the marshal in anything but a complimentary manner. In conversation with the socialist on Sunday morning he informed us that he would be back here in the course of a week or 10 days and again en- deavor to enlighten the citizens of Leeds from a socialist standpoint.— Leeds News. : @@@@@@@@@009@@@ PERSONALS. ® D. @@@@@@e@o@o@o@@@o Charles Carter of Hines, was in Bemidji yesterday.

B. —1. e., illicit diamond buying—in South Africa as there were of smuggling in England a century ago. Louis Cohen tells of some of the dodges in his “Reminiscences” of Kimberley’s early days. “Dogs were enlisted in the traf- fic and used as carriers. Often the poor animals were first kept without food until they were on the verge of starvation and then given lumps of meat contalning diamonds, which they bolted. Safely arrived at Christiania, across the Vaal river,: the faithful dumb friends of man were immediate- ly rewarded for their services by hav- ing their stomachs ripped up and the imbedded baubles taken out. Horses, too, were utilized. being fed with balls of meat containing diamonds and driv- en across the river under the very noses of the police. Carrier pigeons were requisitioned to ‘fly through the alr with the greatest of ease’ laden with the brigands’ booty. Hollowed -heels Inclosing- dlamonds” seated down with wax were also expedients em- ployed with decided and profitable success.” One lady bad an ingenious way of getting out of a scrape. She was cooking dinner when a Cape boy knocked at the door and sold a forty carat diamond to her husband. *“It was a trap. A detective immediately rushed in to arrest the buyer, search- ed the house, but no diamond could be found. The good wife had placed it in the stuffing of a goose she was bast- ing” Punishment After Death. A negro, already under sentence of life imprisonment, was convicted of two charges of assault to murder. ‘With great gravity the jury sentenced him to five years on each charge and ordered the prison officers to keep his corpse for ten years after he died. Per- haps a little theology entered the de- cision, the jury feeling as did the man ‘found hammering away at a snake after he had killed it and who ex- plained by saying he believed in pun- ishment after death.—Judge.
