WHEN FATHER TRIED TO SKATE

When father searched the attic
through
He brought us down 20 show
y pair of skates he used to use
Some 20 years ago.
He held them proudly by the straps,
And said with much elate,
Il guess I'll go tew the pond
An show ye how few skate"
So father put his cowhides ON,
And started for the ice;
He screwed the screws into his heels
And strapped them tight and nice
III show yew youngsters how tew
cut
y pidgin wing that's great"
He cried, and then he started out
To show us how to skate.
He made a bold and rapid stroke,
His arms spread parallel,
And then his feet went in the air,
And with an awful yell
He fell kerplunk down on the ice
And cracked it far and wide;
And bruised himself from head tt
foot
Until he nearly died.
We carried him into the house,
And laid him on the bed.

The doctor came with pills and
squills.
And looked both great and wise;
And said my fathers case was one
OF too much exercise.
Pa saw n million stars. | guess,
And likewise saw his err;
He let us put those skates away
Without the least demur.
They hang up in the attic now,
Abandoned to their fate:
And never since that fatal day
Has father tried to skate.

theatre tomorrow evening, the Daily
News of Marshall. Mich, said Jan.
10: ~ crowded house witnessed the
production of Woman Against Wo-
man by the c. S. Sullivan company at
the opera house last evening. The
play was a five act melodrama writ
ten by Frank Harvey, and is peculiar
in that it brings on the stage many
common everyday incidents. 1t fea-
lures parental love as well as that of
lovers; the comedy is one of the kind
found in homes where the pathos of
suffering is so often concealed in hui
NOR to the casual observer. and all
through the play the efforts of the
author to bring life and its homely
incidents upon the stage is apparent.
The company is n good one. The
clever work of Fannie Hoyt, to whom
falls the most important and difficult
role of the play, was well received.
Her portrayal of Bessie Barton, the
loving wife, whose faithfulness and
courage conquered doubt, distrust
and the wiles of her enemy, was in
deed excellent. In the fourth act
particularly in the strongest climax
of the play, she received well merited
applause"

SHAW STOPS BUYING BONDS
Secretary of Treasury DIseoatinues
for Present the Purehase of Cow
srnnent Instrumenta.

WASHINGTON. March 1.-THE secretary
OF tina treasury has announced that be will
discontinue for the present. the purchase
Of United States bonds Of the ave per cent
loan OF 1904, the four per cent funded loan
Of 1907. the three per cent loan OF 1905 1918
and the four per cent loan Of 1925, such
dis~eontinuance to take effect at the close OF
business tomorrow.
The secretary believes that the price Of
bonds IL unreasonabiy higher. ana the effect
OF the government being permanently In
the market helps to maintain this price, to
the prejudice o. national bank circulation.
Banks said 10 be retiring circulation a.
rapidly e. possible. presumably for the pur-
pose Of selling the bonds now on deposit
at present prices or for the purpose OF US
ing them with the treasury As security for
government deposits. In making govern
msnt deposits the secretary Is disposed to
discriminate In favor OF such banks as
msintAin their circulation. and by these
two methods he hopes TO overeoms the tsna-
sney to retire bank circulation.
