SKATING STORIES.

1Asy Wore Good Enough to Tell bsa
 Their Truth was Doubted.
 The group were talking about skating. "I don't pretend to be much of @ skat- er," said the man with his feet on the nantelpiece. "The last time indulged fin the pastime, though, I had the good luck to slip into an airhole."
 ''You don't call that good luck. do your' asked the man who had been try ing to break into the conversation and tell story himself.
 Well, under ordinary circumstances wouldn't call 1t good luck," replied the man with his feet on the mantel, "but in this instance it led to my catch ing the largest fish ever found in this section of the country. It happened this way: was skating around the airhole, and at last ran plump into it. The low CT part of my body went under the foe, but was able to hold myself up by the arms. At last 8 man came to help me out, but one of my skates seemed to have become entangled in something below the surface, and he had to call . for assistance. Several persons respond. ed. and by their united efforts pulled me and four pound rock bass through the airhole. The jaws of the fish were held apart by one of my skate blades. suppose" he added by way of explana' tion, 'that must have struck my foot in his mouth when first went down
 It was the unuttered consensus o' opinion that the speaker was liar.
 There was short pause, and tn, man who had been waiting for ohanct told of an adventure on Lake Superior He said that while skating there on, evening, far from shore, he was pur sued by monstrous gray wolf. "Th' wolf chased me about considerably, he said, "but wasn't afraid, because always was a good skater and could beat any wolf that was ever created when it came to getting around on thu ice. After I had little fun with tn, animal, making figure eights' ant things like that around him, though would put him to some use. So I mad a dash around to his rear and caugh hold of his tail with one hand had ; shinny stick in the other and beat hin across the back with it. Well, gentle AucL, luAt Uck6s WsS SO buOCACo h1lu 5uA prised that he didn't know what to do He jumped around just like a colt tha was being broken in. held on tight though, and he finally came to the con olusion that he wanted to go home, ant lit out for shore.
 Gentlemen, know you will believ me when I say that that was the su | preme moment of my life There wa a-holding to the wolf's tail with on hand, beating him with the shinny sticl which I held in the other, and fyinl over the glassy surface at the rate o about 40 miles an hour. As we neare, the shore he slowed up some, and ol reaching the land lay down and die from exhaustion.
 ''I have his hide at home now, :" con cluded the narrator, land you can SC it if you want to-"

Fighting Their Shadows.

! The sixteen to one agitators who are
urging the people to fight an imaginary
money power are merely warning
against their own shadows. The only
money power" in this country is a
creature of the silverite's Imagination
which is to be found nowhere because
it has no real existence. Like the man
whose fears of ghosts and hobgoblins
lead him to see in his shadow cast by
the moon frightful monster ready to
devour him, the cheap money advocates
see in the effects Of their attack on our
financial system the work of an evil
demon which is destroying business
and impoverishing the people. 1t is
rot creditable to the common sense of
the American voters that the ghost
stories of deluded believers in free sill
yer should be listened to, much less so
that any considerable number of people
should be scared by phantoms into ac-
cepting a gospel one-half humbug and
one-half reputation.
