    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 tweet
river
Whe) spring- rnlns the rose from tho

It I nice to have money, but nicer, my
honey,
To have whnt no money enn bring:
Tba love and the glory of love's golden
story
The Hps or true love ever slnul
It la nice to have money, but money's not
all
For me the spring silver, the gold of
tho lull!

Mr. SnooKs Learns
to SKate.
By LILY RUTHERFORD MORRIS.
"Help! Help!" shrieked Mr. Bnooks.
He clutched the rail fiercely, with both
hands, while ftrBt one foot and then
the other rolled from urnler him. "Se
reny! Sereny!"
Mrs. Snooks was In the net of having
her skates adjusted, but without wait
ing further, she hastened, with one
Bhate half on, rolling on one foot, and
bopping on the other, to the scene of
Mr. Snooks' distress. As soon as he he
held her at his side he hurst forth:
"Consnrn 111 Is this what you
brought me out here for to break my
neck? I s'pose you remembered the In
surance polity, n.nd thought this a good
time to cash It in, eh?"
"Oh, Josiuh, dear! Don't talk like
that," replied his Bweet nntured wife,
"'please do not. I want you to learn
to skate, and have a real good time.
Now, stand perfectly still until I get
my skates on, ar.d I'll held you."
"Stand still!" he Bhouted. "How In
the devil can I stand still with these
blasted rollers"
Once more his feet shot, from under
him. Plat on his back he lnnded. How
ever, r person falling at the skating
rink Is no unusual -sight, so he lay
unnoticed except by an Instructor and
his faithful Serena.
"Oh, 1 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 sag a man's life out of him
till you get rollers screwed on him,
and then say you wouldn't have him
hv toy- the world. Like as not, you
had the whole thing greased up for
. my benefit. Then tell a man to stand
till why don't yon 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 his
. eyes In another direction.
He watched her have the other skate
fastened on; then, rise from the chair
with all ease, and glide graceftilly to
ward him.
"Now, dear, I'm ready. Let's get
on the InBlde 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 "
Chluk, chink, chlnk-e-ty chink! Ho
tad 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-l
it I can ever do it! My brain is in
such 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;
hold me "
"I've got you, darling; don't be
afraid. I'll not let you get hurt. You
must hold my hand real tight; and
when I count three, glide out 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
do. You must take me for a fiyln'
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, twof
three, rfllde."
. "Well, when I glide, slide, or roll,
what are you goln' 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?" , . .
"Oh, dear!" answered Mrs. Snooks,
almost .losing patience. "I wish you
would come on; the evening I3 half
gone, cad we haven't made a start yet.
Do you understand what it Is I want
you 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 wldly. He
would have fallen, no doubt, but for a
reckless dash Into the arms of a wo
man, who proved to he the old maid,
Hannah Moore, of whom he stood In
much awe.
"Gee whir!" 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 bang on to
me like this, I hope. Turn me loose,
Joslah 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 wIbIi 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 swlmmln' 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 Hist trial." '
" Tis eh? Then you really thought
there was a possibility of my full In',
when you brought me out here."
"Oh, nenrly everyone gets falls. I
had a dozen or more hard ones too;
but I learned to skate; and It Is de
lightful. When you catch on, you will
ngree with me."
"Well, If I do, It'll be the first time
I ever agreed with you. 1 ain't so
sure It's going to happen no way, for
I'll never catch on to more thn:i this
blessed railing. It's saved my life once
already, and, bad as 1 hate old maids
(Hannah Moore In particular), I know
she's saved It ngaln. If I hadn't run
Into her a minute ago, I'd"
"O no you wouldn't, dear, anything
of the kind. Don't you believe that
something dreadful happens everytlme
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 bum It! I've got your
hand tight enough, ain't I? Why in
the mischief don't you Bturt? Think
I'm going to stand here all day, and
listen to a Bkatin' Bernion? 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 long room to the other
they went without a Blngle 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 step, 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 ngaln.
"I did do It, Sereny, I did do It!"
"O Snooky! I'm so proud of you. It
is wonderful how well you are doing."
"Surprised, ore 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 ridin a runaway mule you
never know where you are goln', or
If you'll land dead or alive; but you
have to ride just the same, because the
blamed thing won't Btop for you to get
off."
Mrs. Snooks smiled sweetly ber ap
proval and held out her hand for an
other start. e
"Now, dear, don't stop this time
just keep c 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 so 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' Ib 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 Btop. I'm a gettln'
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 stop," persisted Mr.
Snook. "I tell you, I can't Btop, 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
bis wife and the Instructor.
"Golly! but this is great," be 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 !
Nothing But Friends Yet How Rich I
CrfWaiV By O. S.
TU8T think of what It
ways looking out for our Interests; working for us all the
J J time, saying a good word for us ut every opportunity, sup
X porting us, speaking for us In our absence when we need a
I friend; shielding our sensitive weak spots, stopping slan-
dors, killing lies which would Injure us, correcting false 1m
1 presslons, trying" to set us right, overcoming the prejudice
r4f creuted by some mistake or slip, or a first bad impression
we made in some
something to give us a lift or help up
What sorry figures ninny of us
marred and scarred reputations most of
that have been warded oft 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 havq sent us customers
and clients and business, who have always turned our way everything they
could.
Oh, what a boon our friends are to our weaknesses, our ldlosyncracles 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, peoplo, who are now successful would have given up
the strugle In some great crises of their lives, but for flie encouragement of
some friend which has tided them over the critical place! How barren and
lean our lives would bo If stripped of all that our friends havo-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 tlmo than In cultivating
friendships? If you are Just starting out In business, tho reputation of hav
ing a lot of staunch friends will give you backing, will bring to you customers.
It has been Btild that "destiny Is determined by friendship."
It would bo Interesting and helpful If wo could analyze tho 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
Ey Winifred Black.
AS she come home from
does she look to you, with her new frocks and her new way
way of dressing her hair, and her new manner of speech and
H
her new little tricks with her eyes, and her funny little
nlr 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 nnd approving ol
papa and allowing the ordinary, everyday members of the
family who haven't been away Jo 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 nnd 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 (ike her too seriously, either. Bear up under It If you suspect that
she's just a little bit ashamed of you because you say "Just think" Instead of
"Only fancy."She's your own little girl, after nil, nnd some day when she
wakes up from this queer little dream she's living in, you and she will have
the time of your lives langhing over this 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-course 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
ANY people, for example, fairly well educated people, too,
rlnn't Inn hnv fn nrnnonnen fhn letter that follows e. And
TVI I as for spelling the nnmn of altch, some of these people
I VI I would be astonished to hear that the letter bad a name.
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-I.
Say the alphabet aloud, and when you have finished, ask yourself 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 Bpoken word should be distinct and Intelligible. In repeating the
alphabet each letter ought to mako a perfect escape from the lips of the
speaker. Docs It make such an escape when you say It? Do yoj send it out
vlgoiously? Wotch 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 'bto 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 taken,the first step toward the mastery of good speech. . To speak well,
you must love words and their elements. You must 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 of things." Every flower that looks up, and every star
