TO be in repose while in motion, which
paradoxically expresses the exact con-
dition, there is nothing that so closely
approaches the much talked of poetry
or motion" as graceful skater. 1t
is when swiftly gliding over the SHIN
mering surface of good bit of ice that
one so keenly enjoys an indefinable
exuberance of spirits. This bubbling
over of good feeling is as spontaneous
as 1t Is infectious, and accounts for
the irrepressible, boisterous merriment
that characterizes a skating crowd
1t is indeed pity that such an in
MIGRATING and delightful sport as this
should in any way have a touch of the
freakishness of fashion. There is,
when moderately INDUCED in, no more
health-giving sport in the world than
skating, and 1t is very gratifying to
note that 1t is becoming more popular
than ever. Never before in its history
has skating been in such favor as dur
ing the present season. This does not
only apply to Chicago, or the rest OF
the United States, but in all countries
where ice is available the same condi-
ton holds good, says Chicago Chron-
icle
Skating in the open air is absolutely
essential to the highest enjoyment of
the sport. A skaters greatest delight
is to have a good-sized sheet of gleam-
ing ice set in the picturesque frame of
a snow-covered landscape, with an oc-
casional -bejeweled tree or clump
of deep green pines to break the mo-
notony of the dazzling Wilderness. Our
picture shows party of skaters on the
lake at Lincoln park, Chicago.

loss of his civil rights. In addition the
mare was confiscated.
The misdemeanor for which Kneebs
was found guilty was in misrepresent-
ing the mare Bethel, 2:16la. as Nellie
Kneebs. Kneebs and o. o. Hefner OF
Paxton. ILL.,. shipped some horses to
Europe in January, 1894 In the lot
was the mare Bethel, a well-known
performer on Western trotting tracks.
When they left New York Kneebs in
formed the turf reporters that this
mares name was Nellie Kneebs, and
under that name he started her in a
race at Manchester, England, Feb. IL,
1894. Just a month later he started her
again at Edinburgh, Scotland, and from
there he shipped her TO Germany, rae
ing her without any further handicap
than accrued to her performances since
reaching Europe. Her last perform
ance was a match race with Riga, in
which she was defeated. This was un-
der the auspices of the Berlin Jockey
Club, and it is supposed that Kneebs
pulled the mare. At any rate, the cir
cumstances were so suspicious that an
investigation was begun by Berlin turf
men, and Hefner, with whom Kneebs
had had some financial trouble, gave
the scheme away. On May 5, 1894,
Kneebs was arrested and placed in
Berlin jail. A movement was at once
set on foot by some of Kneebs' friends
in America to secure his release. Out
on the Kneebs farm at Wakefield, Neb.,
the mare Clara Chatham, bearing gen.
eral resemblance to Bethel, was cut on
the left forearm in imitation of a
barbed wire wound that Bethel had |

THE DOLL THAT GREW.

Two children sat in window low,
Where graceful vines ever loved to creep,
A cradle swinging, now fast now Slow
Rocking doll to sleep
His chubby face and his ringlets brown.
Her laughing eyes and her dimples fair
sunbeam, lost in the vines, looked down
Glinting her yellow hair
1 said, "Goodby, happy ones, goodby;
Fer l come back, little girl and hoy,
Your laugh will fade to Il common sigh,
Mocking this childish joy.
Their eyes looked grave, for moments
thought,
But could not take in the meaning cold.
She shook her head till his brown crown
caught
Showers of curling gold.
"when you come back, me will be so TALL"
He said sand proud. " eyes, me will, ~ said
she.
"The doll will grow, and the cradle-all.
Lovely as they can be-"
And far away in the world of tide,
In dreams and fancies that picture fair
The girls sweet faith and the boys gRd
pride
Followed me everywhere.

But each Joy falls with u broken wing;
Then night comes On, and it cannot see,
Moaning it cannot sing.
With years Of winter upon my head,
With years of summer upon my face,
came, by haunting desire led,
Back to the self same place.
The same sun struggled and wandered through.
And glinted ringlets of brown and gold;
The doll had grown and the cradle. too,
Loveler than OF old
The two still sat in the window low,
Their hearts SO full of a love SO deep
A cradle swinging. so soft and slow,
Rocking their child to sleep.

Walter Weaiman, who has been to. the

vil1e's theory Of all eternal ocean ice cap
is a. indefensable as the old notion OF
an open polar sea. At the pole the mean
annual temperature is reckoned at de-
grees F. above Zero In summer it IS
doubtless often so warm there that the
lucky explorer who reaches its neagh-
borhood will pull at his sledge With
bare hands and without any coat to III
cumber him. L|uring three months OF
summer the mercury would not fall be-
low 10 degrees above zero. He might
pass whole winter there without see
ing the mercury drop any lower than 1t
occasionally falls in Manitoba and north
arn Minnesota But he would find a
steadier cold. Fer three months, proba-
bly,, he would have no higher tempera-
ture than 20 deg rees below.

things in that region. is little under
