He clutched the rail fiercely, with both bands, while first one foot and then the other rolled from under him. "Se reny! Sereny!" Mrs. Snooks was in the act of having her skates adjusted, but without wait ing further, she hastened, with one Bkate half on, rolling on one foot, and hopping on the other, to the scene of Mr. Snooks' distress. As soon as he be held her at his side he burst forth: "Consarn it! Is this what you brought me out here for to break my neck? I s'pose you remembered the in surance polk-y, a-nd thought this a good time to cash it in, eh?" "Oh, Josiah, dear! Don't talk like that," replied his sweet natured wife, "'please do not. I want you to learn to skate, and have a real good time. Now, stand perfectly still until 1 get my skates on, and I'll held you." "Stand still!" he shouted. "How in the devil can I stand still with these blasted rollers" Once more his feet Ehot from under him. Flat on his b:ick he landed. How ever, a person falling at the skating rink is r.o unusual -sight, so he lay unnoticed except by an instructor and his faithful Serena. "Oh, I hope he Isn't hurt, Bit," she said to the gracious gentleman, trying to assist poor Mr. Snooks to his feet. 'I should never forgive myself If any thing were to happen to him." "Oh, you wouldn't, would ' you?" gasped her husband. "Don't look like It, does it nag a man's life out of him till you get rollers screwed en him, and then say you wouldn't have him hp"t fov the world. Like as not, you had the whole thing igrea-:ed up for my benefit. Then tell a man to stand till why don't you get that other set of rollers on, if you are goin' to show me anything?" "Yes, dear, I will. Hold tight to the railing, now; and don't move. I'll be back In a moment," and she hopped and rolled together back to the attend ant, having Mr. Snooks looking long ingly after her, afraid to move even hts eyes in another direction. He watched her have the other skato fastened on; then, rise from the chair with all ease, and glide gracefully to ward him. "Now, dear, I'm ready. Let's get on the inside of the rail. Give me your right hand first; now the other, and walk don't try to glide. Come on, now don't be afraid. Just pick up your feet, one at a time, and'" . "Did you think I'd be fool enough to try to get both up at once? You must take me for a " Chink, chink, chink-e-ty chink! He lad lost his balance again; but faith ful to his speech, he did not let both feet go at once. First one, and then the other went up and down, while he clutched poor Mrs. Snooks ferociously. Both stood the test; they did not fall. I Borne one came to the rescue, and with much effort, both together landed him safe Inside the rail, which to Mr. Snooks' mind did not, In the least, im prove the situation. . "And that's what you are expectin' me to do, is it?" nodding sarcastically toward the whirling throng. "Blame-1 if I can ever do it! My brain is in snch a whirl now, I . don't know whether I'm standin' on my head or not ding it, there goes that blamed foot again! Hold me tight, Sereny; bold me" "I've got you, darling; don't be afraid. I'll not let you get hurt. You most bold my hand real tight; and "When I count three, glide oiit on your right foot. Now! one, two, three, glide. Oh, why didn't you do It?" "Do what!" snorted Mr. Snooks. "How do I know what you want me to da You must take me for a flyin' Dutchman." . "Come on, dear; let's try it again," sweetly replied Mrs. Snooks. "When I count three, then, wHh the fourth count, slide out on your right foot." "I thought you told me to glide now you say slide. How in the devil,am I to know what it is you want!" "O well, it is all the same, dear. Eith er one means to roll. Heady! one, two,' three, rflide." . "'Well, when I glide, slide, or roll, what are you goin' to do?" gruffly de manded Mr. Snooks. "Why, I'm going to glide too." "You goin' with me then?" "Sure, Snooky, dear. I'm going right with you unless' "Unless I fall, I s'pose. Now, that's a bright prospect for a skatin' scholar, ain't it?" , x "Oh, dear!" answered Mrs. Snooks, almost posing patience. "I wish you would come on; the evening is half gone, and we haven't made a start yet. Do you understand what It is I want yon to do want until I count three, and then, you and I both will glide out on the right foot Do you under stand?" "No! I don't -understand why you don't start on the left foot What do you always say the right one fort Well, gol darn It, come on! I'll try it, If it kills me." "One, two, three, glide!" and to Mrs. Snooks' utter astonishment Mr. Snooks actually started off. His ponderous body swayed fiercely to and fro. In his struggle for equilibrium, he let go his wife's hand, and beat the air widly. He would have fallen, no doubt, but for a reckless dash into the arms of a wo man, who proved to be the old niRld, Hannah Moore, of whom he stood in much awe. "Gee whiz!" he exclaimed, hugging her tightly in his desperation. "I couldn't help it. Sereny told me to do it, and I had to." "She didn't tell you to hang on to me like this, I hope. Turn me loose, Josiah Snooks, or I'll push you" "No, no!" he shrieked. "For good ness sake, don't push me. Sereny! Sereny!" "Shut up, you fool. They'll have you put out of here and locked up for disturbing public peace." "Lord knows, I wish they would put me out of here. Of all the darn places I've ever been to for pleasure, this is the darndest. Hold me, Hannah, hold me! I've got the swimmin' in my head worse than when I take calomel. .This is all Sereny's doings." "You didn't fall, dear, anyway," said Mrs. Snooks, approaching. "That is just fine for the first trial." " 'Tls eh? Then you really thought there was a possibility of my fallin', when you brought me out here." "Oh, nearly everyone gets falls. I had a dozen or more hard ones too; but I learned to skater and It is de lightful. When you catch on, you will agree with me." "Well, If I do, it'll be the first time I ever agreed with you. I ain't so sure It's going to happen no way, for I'll never catch on to more than this blessed railing. It's saved my life once already, and, bad as I hate old maids (Hannah Moore in particular), I know she's saved it again. If I hadn't run into her a minute ago, I'd" "0 no you wouldn't, dear, anything of the kind. Don't you believe that something dreadful happens everytime one gets a fall. Are you ready to try It again?" "Well, I s'pose' that's what I came for, ain't it?" "You are a darling! I knew you were spunky, or I would not have Insisted on your trying. Now don't turn me loose. Keep hold of my hand I'll keep up with you." "Well dad burn It! I've got your hand tight enough, ain't I? Why in the mischief don't you start? Think I'm going to stand here all day, and listen to a skatin' sermon? I want to learn with my feet Instead of my head." "All right, dear, I'm ready. One, two, three, glide." It was amazing what happened. From one end of the lcng room to the other they went without a single break in the time. Mr. Snooks put out his feet very much after the manner of Maud, when preparing to give SI one of his famous kicks; but Mrs. Snooks' soothing "right, left, right, left" gave him cour age to put his foot down again each time it came up, so step by Btep, he leached the farther end of the mam moth rink still on his feet. The curve was too much for him. He made straight for the railing again. "I did do it, Sereny, I did do it!" "0 Snooky! I'm so proud of you. It is wonderful how well you are doing." "Surprised, are you? Well, I'm no hay seed, if Hannah Moore does say I look like one. I guess I can do any thing in the way of gymnastics that she can. There she goes now, a whirl In' 'round so spry with that old wid owerand he' most ready to die with old age. Come on, Sereny; let's go it again. I kind a like holdin' my breath. It's like ridln' a runaway mule you never know where you are goin', or If you'll land dead or alive; but you have to ride just the same, because the blamed thing won't stop for you to get off." Mrs. Snooks smiled sweetly her ap proval and held out her hand for an other start. "Now, dear, don't stop this time just keep on going. The only differ ence in making the corners is to take longer glides with the outside foot than with the other." "Oh yes, it all sounds bo nice to hear you tell it A body would think that takln' a long glide with one foot, and a short one with the other was just about the easiest thing In the universe kind a' like tellln' a fellow to flop his wings and fly. Talkln' is one thing, and do in' is another are you ready to start?" "Yes, dear. Come on now ready! right, left, right, left" "Gee whilikins, Sereny! I'm goin' so fast I'll never stop. I'm a gettin' faster and faster. Can't you hold down, Sereny? I'm a whlrlln' like the wind." "You are doing fine, my dear, keep on," said Mrs. Snooks encouragingly. . "But I can't Btop," persisted Mr. Snook. "I tell you, I can't stop, Ser eny, I can't stop. Help! Help!" "Hush, Josiah, darling, you are doing beautifully. Now for the curve and re member what- I said about the long glide with the outside foot." An instructor appeared on the scene, in answer to Mr. Snooks' appealing yells. He seized the other arm. Mr. Snooks made the curve In safety, and. again the long stretch up the other side. He seemed to. have caught the idea, and no one dared to break the spell. In silence, the three together went round and round many times, Mr. Snook gripping tightly the hands of his wife and the instructor. "Golly! but this is great," he finally said. "I don't know but what I like this better than the roller-coaster." From the Bee Hive.

What marred and scarred reputations most of us would have but for the cruel blows that have been warded off by our friends, the healing balm that they have ap plied to the hurts of the world! Many of us would have been very much poorer financially, too, but for the hosts of friends who have sent us customers and clients and business, who have always turned our way everything they could. Oh, what a boon our friends arc to our weaknesses, our ldlosyncractes and shortcomings; our failures generally! How they throw a mantle of charity over our faults, and cover up our defects! Was there ever such capital for starting In business for oneself as plenty of friends? How many, people, who are now successful would have given up the strugle in some great crises of their lives, but for the encouragement of some friend which has tided them over the critical place! How barren and lean our lives would be If stripped of all that our friends have-done for us! If you are starting out In a profession, and waiting' for clients or patients, what more profitable way of occupying your spare time than in cultivating friendships? If you are Just starting out in business, the reputation of hav ing a lot of staunch friends will give you backing, will bring to you customers. It has been said that "destiny is determined by friendship." It would be Interesting and helpful if we could analyze the lives of suc cessful people, and those who; have been highly honored by their fellow men, and. find out the secret of their success. Forgive Your Daughter Her Pity for You By Winifred Black. AS she come home from does she look to you, with her new frocks and her new way way pf dressing her hair, and her new manner of speech and her new little tricks with her eyes, and her funny little air of kindly patronage toward everything in the old home? Dear girls! I never know whether I want to laugh or to cry when I see them patronizing mamma and approving of I'H.I papa and allowing the ordinary, everyday memoers oi me family who haven't been away Jto boarding school to live by special permission. - What a serious thlrg life is to them Just now! If mamma should wear white gloves when black ones were the thing the whole firmament ought to fall to keep In tune with the horror In daughter's miserable mind. And papa; how old fashioned he Is, and where did he get that Jay way of wearing his hat? The maid who sets the table In the old-fashioned dining room means well enough, probably, but what would the GIRLS say If they should see her passing the bread in an old-fashioned bread plate Instead of a new-fashioned basket? Don't laugh at daughter. It's all very real to her, the funny little world of queer conventions she's built up around herself. When she's a little older and a little wiser she'll know that nothing really matters except what people mean when they do things. The things themselves are not of any great account. Don't tflke her too seriously, either. Bear up under It if you suspect that Bhe's just a little bit aBhamed of you because you say "Just think" instead of "Only fancy."She's your own little girl, after all, and some day when she wakes up fom this queer little dream she's living in, you and she will have the time of your lives langhing over thi3 summer that came near to making you some really serious heartaches. Girls will be girls, you know, Just as kittens will be kittens. And, after all, what a stupid, prosaic, matter-of-cojrse old world It would be without the dear, delicious, foolish, funny, pathetic Things to love, after all! New York American. How to Speak Correctly By John D. Barry. ANY people, for example, fairly well educated people, too, Hnn't Innw hnn tn nrnnonnce the letter that follows E. And I as for spelling the nara of altch, some of these people Vl I would be astonished to hear that the letter had a name. J I The letter that follows v Is frequently pronounced as If it were double-yer, Instead of doubleu. A fault, often noticed among singers and actors, Is the giving of a fictitious value to the letter 1, which makes it sound very like the Italian liquid double-1. Say the alphabet aloud, and when you have finished, ask yoursell If every letter would be perfectly distinct and Intelligible to any one who might bo listening. Here lies the fundamental principle of all speaking; every element of every spoken word should be distinct and Intelligible. In repeating the alphabet each letter ought to mako a perfect escape from the Hps of the speaker. Does it make such an escape when you say it? Do you send it out vigoiously? Watch yourself as you speak each letter and see what happens to It If it gives you the sense of hanging about your lips, or if it does not seem absolutely to separate itself from you, or If It drops 'toto your throat saj it again and will it to go boldly out Try to think of It as being outside your self, as a thing apart When you succeed in thinking of. it in this way, if you don't care for words, or if you have never thought about them, you will have takenthe first step toward the mastery of good speech. . To speak well, you must love words and their elements. You roust love individual letters. Harper's Bazar. By Henry n4KHf f O thisc- who are verily awakened to the great words of truth i . $ and beauty, the universe daily becomes a subllmer miracle. r I Not a summer cloud sleeps In the blue air, or unfolds Its x. - Pur0 fullness, cr melts in the distance, but they are dl J solved iii a luxury of contemplation and think of Him who spread above us the glory of cloudland where ever we, are, and when all around us is tame ly wearisome. Not a landscape lies dreaming in the Bunsbine, and slowly expands Itself to the passing gaze, but they are intoxicated with a more fiery sense of beauty until their vision often swims with tears of gratitude for existence, and the heart is ready to break with weight of blesedness. Their souls overflow with the "glory of the sura or things." Every flower that looks up, and every star that-looks down, smiles to them the smile of God; and every stream that dim ples away, or thistle-seed that floats in the noontide, bears them onward to limitless seas of thought and joy.
