COULD NOT BE DONE.
1t Was Utterly Impossible for ThRt
Boy to Respect His Fathers
Gray Hairs.

"Boys," began the Sunday school super
intendent, impressively, 81 hope none of you
will ever get into the reprehensible habit
of alluding to your father as the old man.
When you grow up, no matter how big oil
old you may be, you should always look up to
and respect the silver hairs OF your father
who has grown bent and gray working for
you in your helpless infancy. Now, all .ol
you who think you can do this please raise
your right hands"
Up went every hand except one.
Sternly eyeing the delinquent, the super
intendent solemnly observed:
"Why, young man, am horrifed-abso
lutely horrifed-as well as astonished al
your behayior Don't you wish to raise youl
hand and put yourself on record as being
willing to respect the gray hairs of your ia
ther when you grow up to be MANI"
"No. No use tryin'; can't do it nohow,
unblushingly responded the lad.
"Why not, sonny?"
"'Cause he amt liable to have no gray
hair. Dads bald," chirped the youthful
philosopher, triumpbantly, and amid gen
. eral litter the discomfited superintendent
gave it up and passed on to something else
--Tit-Bits.

GLASS SKATES.
They Are the Latest Feature In Ice Rink
This Winter.

Th16 winter
The newest feature of interest in the
New York ice rinks is the use OF glass
skates. 1t is found that skates with
glass runners are far better, both for
speed and ease in gliding for pleasure,
than are the skates with metal runners,
and several pairs are now being used in
one of the metropolitan rinks. The in
ventor has succeeded in reducing the
glass to hardness that insures an edge
which practically never becomes blunt.
The tempering process remains secret,
but it is fact that severe contact with
hard ice does not fracture the glass. Tc
look at these skates one would not sup
pose they were made of anything else
than metal, for the runners are always
colored in order to disguise the sub
stance of which they are made. The
coloring process is arbitrary, and tints
in the case of ladies' skates are always
made to correspond with the colors OF
the wearer's costume. The runners OF
these glass skates are attached directly
to an especially made shoe which laces
from the heel up the back. The combi-
nation not only gives a skate which is
perfectly easy in motion, but the high
shoe stiffens the ankle to an extent
which greatly aids in the enjoyment
and adds to the safety of the exercise
