glamour of liberal thinking there is more or less loose theol ogy current today and it is not per haps to be wondered at that the presi dents theology should slip a cog oc casionally Apropos of the

I M Smiths resi dence in McCook Several horse buyers were in town this week although not many horses were sold R H Smith was a McCook visitor Christmas BATHING AT DIEPPE When the Comtesse de Boigne Tried It In the Year 1806 The Comtesse de Boigne in her mem oirs gives an account of a visit she paid in 1806 which is interesting in view of the position Dieppe now holds among French watering places The poverty of the inhabitants she says was frightful The Eng lishman as they called him and for them he was worse than the devil was cruising incessantly before their empty harbor With much difficulty a boat was able to escape from time to time and go fishing always at the risk of being captured by the foreigner or confiscated upon the return journey if the telescopes of the watchers had seen it approach a vessel As for the comforts arranged for the convenience of bathers which Dieppe has since organized they were nonexistent at that time My brother was able to find a little covered cart and with great trouble and great ex pense notwithstanding the universal poverty a man was hired to lead the horses down to the sea and two wo men to go into the sea with me These preparations raised the pub lic surprise and curiosity to such a pitch that my first bath was watched by a crowd on the shore My servants were asked if I had been bitten by a mad dog I aroused extreme pity as I went by and it was thought that I was being taken down to be drowned An old gentleman called on my father to point out to him that he was assuming a great responsibility in permitting so rash an act It can hardly be imag ined that the inhabitants of a sea shore could be so afraid of the sea But at that time the people of Dieppe were chiefly occupied in keep ing out of sight of it and in protecting themselves from the disasters which they feared the sea might bring so that It was for them nothing more thau a means of annoyance and suffer ing It is curious to think that ten years later bathers were arriving in hundreds that special arrangements were made for their convenience and that sea bathing of every kind went on without producing any astonish ment in the neighborhood I have thus attempted to point out that the custom of sea bathing which Is now so universal is comparatively recent in France for Dieppe was the first place where it began The algret is the crowning beauty of an algret mother The collector seizes the bird while she is on her nest with the young just hatched and tears off her plumes and wings leaving her to die beside her little ones who de prived of her
