1t is very doubtful which race first
skated for traces have been found
among prehistoric remains all over
northern Europe indicating that the
art was practiced by primitive peoples.
The Eskimo of the farthest north are
also found to be In possession of run
ners carved from whalebone.
Skating is mentioned by a Danish
historian about 1874, and Fitzstephen
III his History of London" says that
in the twelfth century young men
fastened the leg bones of animals I'M
der their feet by means of thongs in
order to slide along the Ice. This
statement is confirmed by the pair of
bone skates of the period now in the
British museum. 1t is likely. however,
that these early Londoners got the
idea from Holland, probably via Lin
eolnshire, where skates have been
used on the frozen fens from very re-
mote times.

A witty RepIy.

Whenever the United States supreme
court, on hearing the argument Of
counsel for plaintiff In error, is entirely
satisfied that he has no case, the chief
justice is apt to say to counsel for de-
PENDANT In error that the court does not
care to hear further argument. At one
time Hon. Matthew Carpenter from
Wisconsin was counsel for plaintiff in
error and opened the case. Before he
was through the court was satisfied
that there was nothing In 1t, and so
when he had concluded and counsel
for defendant In error arose Chief JUS
tice Waite said, "The court does not
care to hear any further argument"
Counsel WIS little deaf and. al
though noticing that the chief justice
spoke, did not hear what he had said
and, turning to Mr.. Carpenter, who
sat beside him, asked what had been
said
'.Oh, hang 1T" replied Carpenter In
tones audible to the bench. tThe chief
justice said he would rather give you
the case than hear you YOUTHS

MAD ANTHONY WAYNE.



John r. Spears In Hafper's demon
strates that General Wayne. commonly
known as Mad Anthony" was In
reality the sanest, coolest soldier in
Washington's army.
They called the hero Of Stony Point
and the Maumee rapids Mad Anthony
Wayne" says Mr.. Spears. "The title
was originated by an Irish soldier who
had been confined in the guardhouse at
the order of the general, and 1t was
taken up by the people because Of the
wild enthusiasm and determination
with which Wayne led his men when
the supreme moment of battle came.
But observe that when the war Of the
Revolution impended he 'ransacked his
tory for accounts OF battles that he
might learn military tactics, and he
gave his days to the training of his
neighbors. At Stony Point he led his
men in spite of his wound, but In pre-
pairing for the battle he appealed to
the pride of his men by parading them
clean shaved and with hair well pow.
dered,' while the prelaid plans ipclud-
ed even the slaughter of the donA that
no yelp should betray the app<Seh of
the assaulting host When In Virginia,
he charged the hosts of CORVALLIS
with only 800 men to back him; when
in Ohio, where the honor Of the nation
and the integrity of its territory were
committed to his care, he took a legion
Of boys and miscreants' gathered from
the slums and trained them until their
skill with the musket equaled, If it did
not surpass, that of the most noted
backwoods Indian fighters.
Mad Anthony Wayne as a leader
in battle was unsurpassed, but 1t
should also be remembered that his
record as drill master is unequaled."

Walters who receive the most tips,
says the Chicago Inter Ocean, are usu-
ally those who have everlasting and

easily take an insult, who ever have a

try earnestly to please them and are
always ready to accommodate every

as an object of pity with a view to Sc
curing a tip. If he deserves a tip, he
should let the guest feel within himself
that he deserves it. and If the guest
wishes to give him tip he will usually
manage to catch the walters attention
or leave the tip beside the plate. Should
the waiter receive a tip previous to
waiting on the guest, he should leave

l.vy 70, o:s.e e.n.l.

Marion F. Miller, assistant re-
ce,ver OF the Oiero Canal Com
pany. and F. T. Lewis, went to
Fowler Monday to investigate con
ditions at the headgate OF the
O,ero canal, and decide on the best
method Of sec iring a more plenti-
full supply OF water from the Ar
kansas river. The channel OF the
river has changed during the
course OF the past few months, and
at the present time the hesdga,e
is located at considerable dis
tance from the stream and is practi-
cally useless as means OF obtain
ing water supply. They decided
that it would be necessary to build
a levy FIVE or SIX hundred feet in
length for the purpose OF turning
the water back into the old chan
mel in order to secure a water sup
ply for the canal. The levy will
cost about 81, 200, and work on its
construction will be comm enced at
once.

ns~ n..hoa Of Procedure.

A petition to annex Park ad-
dition to Rocky Ford was filed in
the county court Monday by r.
S. Beall, city attorney of that burg.
This is a rather unusual method OF
procedure, but is strictly legal
according to the laws OF the state
Of Colorado. The residents of
Park addition are not particularly
anxious to become part and par
eel OF the second class CITY OF
Rocky Ford, and have never pc.
titioned the city council to become
a part and parcel OF the metropo-
lis, for the reason, probably, that
they would be obliged to pay city
taxes They enjoy police protec-
ton and all the other benefits ac-
cruing to residents Of the metropo.
lis, free gratis for nothing. and
consequently will be called upon
in the county court to show Cause
Why they should not pay for the
benefits Park addition is located
Just south Of the fair grounds and
is virtually part and parcel of
the sugar beet metropolis.
