It is nothing unusual for travelers to -forget their baggage and leave it at some station, afterward telegraphing for it to be forwarded. But the limit is reached when a man becomes so heed­ less as to forget his own daughter. This happened at the station in Nunda the other day. A Barrington man named Weisman boarded the train for home, never remembering for an in­ stant that his daughter, aged 11 yearn was left behind. Station agent Buch- holz found the forsaken miss, and after much questioning and some telegraph­ ing .received inntructions from the fa­ ther to forward the young lady by the next train- Nunda Herald.

"The first advice I would give bath­ ers is. don't ito far from shore," said a veteran Chicago swimmer. ' Swimminn is one of the hardest exercises in. the world and a man must be well used to it. No matter whether he is as fit as a fiddle to run a five-mile race in record time, let him be carefnl how far be tries to swim. "Every mnscle is used when one is swimming, many of them that are never brought into play in any other 'Way. This is the main reason wl*y so many fellows get into trouble every year. . "Tbey feel good and strong and when they get into the water they swim nnt 1 they get tired. Then when they try to swim back again their strength gives out The next day the newspapers have another acconnt of 'An Expert Swimmer Drowued.' "Getting rattled is another thing to guard against. Nine times ̂ out of ten it has more to do with people getting into trouble than anything else. What­ ever you do or wherever you are, keep cool--keep your nerve. A man can stay afloat a long time if he don't get rat­ tled, no matter what's the trouble with him. "Don't be afraid of cramps, is another thing all swimmers should remember So much has been said and written about cramps that people are scared to death when they feel a little cramp coming on in toe or hand. Then they lose their nerve and give up, where, by being cool, they could have made their way to the shore in safety. "Lots of the pleasure of bathers is taken away by this fear. I won't say that cramps are not slightly dangerous but they are never so bad that a swim­ mer can't take care of himself. Swim­ mers with any kind of ability ought to be able to swim any reasonable distance with any kind of cramp. The ones who are not good swimmers should always hug the shore aud not t&ke chances. "Cramps are' brouglitNpn by swim­ ming, so when you feel one coming onr stop using the arm or leg where it is located. You can turn over on yonr back awhile, thus giving the cramp a chance to go away, but if it doesn't it won't prevent you from swimming slowly and getting to shore. ".uost people think a cramp spreads gradually until it goes all over the body from a little cramp in the toe. This isn't so. It is always confined to the leg or arm where it starts. This is proved by the fact that it goes away when you qnit casing the leg or arm. "Whenever you hear cramp stories some one is, sure to mention stomach cramps. They are supposed to be the most dangerous kind. You hear where people are doubled up like a jack knife and sink like a stone. Now, as a pat­ ter of fact, in all my experience I never had a stomach cramp or saw a person with one. • 'It's nearly always the poor swimmer who yets into trouble, for he is the one to take the greatest chances. Good swimmers always travel in pairs, so as to aid one another in ease of trouble. You often see the heads of these poor swimmers bobbing about away off from shore, although we always try our best to keep them in, and when one of them gets into trouble hi- is usually so far ont that he is gone before we cap get at him." ; Read The Plaindealer advertiaements.

"We have met the enem^and they are ours" is the way the McHenry base­ ball enthusiasts felt after last Saturday's game. Woodstock wanted thp game and so did McHenry, both teams show­ ing that they were there to fight to the finish and so they did. The threatening weather kept quite a number 9f people from seeing the game, but those that did have the pleasure of seeing it were well pleased, some of the older fans saying it reminded them of by-gone days when McHenry always had a bunch of winners on the base-ball field. The game was not full of bril­ liant plays, it being mostly a pitchers' battle, sffe the score below will indicate, Bending being the most effective, strik­ ing out fifteen men, allowing but 8 hits and not a base on balls. Coates, the Woodstock twirler, was in fine form and had he been given better support from his team mates, the score might have been still closer: but as it was, er­ rors gave McHenry the game.
