Bowsers Bad Break

Boyhood Sport as a Diversion. but Now He
Wishes That He Hadn't Done So.

band had somehow got the idea that
he was going to show them some i'm
ported novelties on ice, and pretty soon
one of them observed:
"Well, Bowser, We are willing to
give you the lead, and Wen follow
after. Don't give away all your pro-
fessional tricks at once, however, as
fresh spectators are coming along ev-
cry minute"
"I-T'm a little short Of breath, walk
ing so fast" he stammered in reply.
"You folks al go on and I'll soon be
with you"
"No, you don't, old man." they laugh
ed. you have been chosen as leader
tonight and you have got to lead of
with some Of those fancy figures Of
yours"
Mr.. Bowser shuddered. Forty years
had gone by since he wriggled around
on that horse pond, and who could tell
what tricks the ice had in store for
him!
With a prayer to heaven on his lips
and desperation in his heart he took
the lead and the ice. There was a
brief exhibition Of imported and do
nestle gymnastics. He scraped and
lurched and twisted and clawed, and
then he sat down with such a smash
that a policeman came running up and
wanted to know who was rolling rocks
on the pond.
There vas a roar of laughter from
the hundreds of spectators. and one
of the Gliding band came forward to
assist Mr.. Bowser to his feet and to
say:
by John, old man. but you under
stand the ropes. for sure, Your little
minutes and then ~astonisi, the crowd
with a few real bargains in fourishes.
That's cute of YOU. Keep it UP for a
few minutes"
Mr.. Bowser kept it up. He wouldn't
have done SO for n million dollars in
cash. but he had no choice in The mat
ter. Before his bullying eyes noated
visions of Mrs. Bowser and the cat;
beneath his feet floated an expanse of
ice as smooth as glass and as Slip
perry as the conscience Of n politician.
He must move sven if X were to fall
into the arms Of death, and with a
groan of despair he struck a gait.
There was a display of feet. hands
and fireworks, with applause by the
spectators. and the Gliding band swung
their hats and cheered.
A mai on skates can't keep both feet
IN the air all winter long. and after a
little time the scene changed-that is,
Mr. Bowser uttered II long. loud, de-

manded Mr.. Bowser as he drew him
self Up like Napoleon crossing the
Alps. II come home here with a song
in my heart to tell you that I am go
ing out for n couple of hours diver
sion. If was Soing out TO get drunk
ana tear up h;tC,ling posts it would be
different, but | explain that / am go
ing out to glide with the Gliding band.
/ tell you this in a kind and gentle
way. but what do you do? You fly
mad, you get red in the face, your ears
begin to twitch, you begin to yell out
about my bulk and loginess and pre-
dict that I will smash all the ice in
town before I get through falling down.
Is this a wifely spirit? Is it even
common decency OH your part?"
Mrs. Bowser sighed and turned away
and pursued the subject no further,
but when he was ready to set out she
wished him a good time and promised
to have a hot drink ready for him
when he got home. The cat followed
him out to the gate and yeowled q sort
Of last farewell. but he gave her no
heed and soon joined some of the Gid
ing band waiting for him on the cor
ner.
There We're twelve of the band when
they got together. and it was not un-
til he had his skates on that a, dim
suspicion began to creep into Mr..
Bowser's mind. He sought to joke
and laugh and drive it away. but ii
would return, and it kept growing.
Things had changed since he was q
towheaded boy Of ten. Even ice had
changed. It might be that he would
dash out on the smooth surface and
cut a few figure Fights and then &C
gliding away like a duck on a summer
pond or it might be that
MI. Bowser began to grow warm al
be thought Of what might happen witt
500 people looking on. and in his hear
he wished himself back with Mrs
Bowser and the cat. 1t wouldn't do
however. He must shake of the feel
ing and get to business. The Gliding

A Christian Nation.

There is considerable discussion at
the present time Of the question wheth-
er from n religious standpoint. Japan
or Russia should be supported in the
present contest. 1t Is claimed that Rus
sla is a Christian nation while 1aran
lis pagan. and that Russia should CON-
Hand the support of all Christians IN
her crusade against paganism.
AS a matter Of fact Russia In nout-
nally. at least. Christian. while Japan
has not as yet broken away frem the
old aga religion of the fathers. Chris
tiamty has made come progress In
Japan but it Is by no means the dom
inant religion. But is not the laps
civilization more in accord with the
spirit OF Christianity than 10 that of
the .Muscovite empire2 In this con-
neetion the New York Indspendenf
says:
Russia claims to be fighting the bat
tie OF Christendom against a pagan
nation. Japan allows liberty Of con
science There are members of Chris
tan churches who command her bat
tieships, who sit In her cabinet. who
preside over her parliament. There In
Inc run civilization that has grown out
OF Christianity: public schools. the

product OF Christianity. h mas been
given to Japan under the tuteiage of
christian nations. frankly adooted
from this and other countries. There
IL a constitutional government. elected
rulers. courts and freedom.
But what do we see IN Russia? An
absolutely autocratic government. with
no local self government. no congress,
no constitution, no public school sys-
tenn. no religious liberty. the Dukhobor-
81. the Jews and the Lutheran Finas
equally forced into exile. and the Ar
menians In the causasus driven tn
frenzy by the robbery OF Their churches
and schools. Which Is the Christian
country"
