    NICE TO HAVE MONEY.
It la nice to have money, but better, my
lionoy.
To have what no money can buy
The dimples that wimple upon the sweet
river
When spring rains the rose from the
sky!
It Is nice to have money, but nicer, my
honey,
To have what no money can brlnft
The love and the glory of love's golden
story
The lips of true love ever slnpr!
It Is nice to have money, but money's not
All
Tor me the spring silver, the gold of
the fall!

Mr. SnooKs Learns
to Shate.
By LILY RUTHERFORD MORRIS.
"Help! Help!" shrieked Mr. Bnooks.
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."

The Material Value of
Friendships
What a Boon to Our Weaknesses I
Nothing But Friends Vet How Rich !
fyJiJSS By O. S.
J UST think of what It
t ways luuKiiig out ior our interests; wurmns iur us mi i
J J time, saying a good word for us at every opportunity, sup-
I porting us, speaking for1 us In our absence when we need a
J friend; shielding our sensitive weak spots, stopping slon-
? ders, killing lies which would Injure us, correcting false lm-
A A pressions, trying to set us ngnt, overcoming mo jjicjuuito
ttT created by some mistake or slip, or a first bad Impression
we made In some silly movement who are always doing
something to give us a lift or help up along!
What sorry figures many of us would cut but for our friends! 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

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.

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

limitless seas of thought and joy.

And now I've told you nil the news;
There's nothing more for me to write;
Except, where did ynu hide my shoes?
They are not anywhere In sight.
