time in practicing on them, and it is not

A very funny thing occurred on the RAM
sey street slide few nights ago. There
was a tall. stalwaTt-lOOking tObOgganer
whose lower limbs would have made Apollo
ashamed of his eXTemities. SO shapely and
muscular were they. lie was admired es-
pecially By the ladies, who would steal COW
ert glances at his knickOrbOckers and leg
gins ami give vent 10 their admiration in
little whisperings among themselves. He
was an excellent steeTer and the
ladies delighted To ride down the bill on a
tObOggan wiz him at the helm. During
one of the down, the Apollo with his
load, took the lead and was followed by a
large tObOggas filled with ladies. Somehow
the rear tOboggan ran into the one ahead
and the ladies. Apollo and all took an un-
eeremOnious tumble into the snow. When
they climbed to their feet Apollo stood
brushing the snow from his uniform, when
the ladies began 10 smoker and hide their
faces behind each Others back. One of the
gentlemen in the company stepped up Ia
Apollo and whispering said, for -- sake
what's the matter with your calyeS?" The
man of muscular frame looked quickly
down and saw through hole i'm his leggiIi
a stream of Oat meal pouring cut ON the
snow, while his shapely calf was rapidly
shrinking in size. lie didn't say a word
but picking up the rope of his tobOggan
started of down the hill in the direction q
his clearinghouse, and he hasn't been seeI.
on the slide since.

Capt Adams Of the WakOutas created a
sensation a few nights ago when he ap
peared on the slide singing the following
lines To the tune OF ''See Saw"

There were but very few visitors to the
ice palace grounds yesterday; the mercury
was too low to render standing around a
huge pile of ice attractive and pleasant but
the builders We're there just the same and
the structure kept growing. The tObOggan
slides presented q lively scene, and the

skaters who defied the cold wave and en-
| joyed themselves.
