Northwestern College Men Save Many From Drowning Chicago. Aug. 19.—Mora than 3,000 lives have been saved by students of Northwestern university in the last 10 years as the result of swimming and lifesaving instruction, according to an estimate given out by Coach Tonf Robinson. Fifty members of the university’s life-saving classes made more than 500 rescues last summer. roach Robinson declared. Most of these took place in the Great Rakes region. , Ninety pet cent of last summer's rescues were made within 20 yards of the shore, and in most cases only' it few yards were separating the drowning persons from shallow water. Very few of those rescued were col lege people, because moA colleges and universities require students to be able to swim at least 25 yards before being graduated, the coach said. One student’s feat was especially noteworthy. He dived to an auto mobile covered by six feet of water and rescued a boy who had been se curely caught. __ Bible Reading for Schools. Columbus.

When the young Chuck looked out from the bushes at the head of the Long I.ane over to Farmer Brown's barnyard and saw' the hens running about there. tiieS' had not looked so very big. That is because they were so far away. But when, having, against Old Mr. Toads advice, ven tured up to that barnyard, the^nung t’huck poked his head out of the long grass he was quite unprepared for the size of those birds. You see, they were Just birds to him, not hens. He knew nothing about liens. Jt happened that he poked his head out of the grass right in front of a hen, and not more than a foot from her. Biddy was startled. She was more than startled—she was fright ened." You see, she didn’t take a good look at the young Chuck, and she mistook him for some one else. She mistook him for Robber the Rat. She gave a frightened squawk, and ran. Now hens are sometimes rather silly. All the other hens right near began to squawk and run. They didn't know what they were squawking for, • nd they didn’t know why they were running. It was Just because that first hen had done these things. So the hens were scared and made a \fter him ran that bin rooster. pr^at fuss, and the you ns? Chuck] didn't know what to make of it. "When he had first seen that hen i lose to him he w as scared himself. >:tu as soon as he saw that she was afraid of him. he lost all fear. To him those hens were just great, big fool ish birds, and so he didn't run lack into the grass to get out of their sight. Instead, he began to move toward them. Those silly hens crowded together and began to make a great racket. If Hther tickled the young Chuck and made him feel very big. It would give him something to boast about. He longed to tell his brothers and sisters how he had made these great birds afraid of him. He wanted to frighten them some more, and so ne k*pt on toward them. And then from around the corner "f the liam came a bird bigger than my of the others. This big bird came 1 with his head held high and in father i stately way to see what all the fuss was about. But the instant he saw i he young Chuck a great change ■aine over him. Sly. my. my. 1 'hould say so’ He suddenly lowered his head and made all the feathers on his neck stand out. Then he ran. hut he didn't run away. No, sir, no I didn't. He tin straight toward that young Chuck! Of course, you know, who it was. It was Farmei Brown's big rooster. The young Chu k took one good look, and then he took to Ilia heels He was as badly scared as the hens had been. After him ran that big roster. That rooster was lord of ’he henyard. and he didn't intend to have any of hia subjects frightened. The young Chuck ran straight for in opening under the barn. It looked dark in there, and he wanted to pet out of sipht. The rooster was right at his heels, and he didn't get under that barn any too soon. My, such scared Churk as he was!
