There is nothing new il. the Idea Of
skate sailing. says Dan Beard, in
Outing. 1t is as old as skates, and
dates back to the time when our an
cestors with bones of animals bound
to their feet spread their ample cloaks
and allowed the wind to watt them
over the surface of the ice.
But since tkat time the art has
progressed, keeping pace with the
evolution of the modern steel skate
from its rude bone ancestor. Some
time in the 'S0s skate sailing was first
brought to the attention OF the gen.
eral public by a series of articles upon
this subject which appeared in various
periodicals, and we then became FAM,
liar with the Danish square sail and
topsail, the long double, or two-man.
sail of the Norwegians; the English
lateen sail, with the mast made fast
to the skaters leg, the handsome dou.
5le-diamond sail invented by Charles
Ledyard Norton and many others of
minor Importance.
AS a rule, the foreign designs are as
clumsy, ~impracticable and as much
out of date as the forms of govern
ment under which they flourish.

Hard Work for Cupid.

"In olCan tines said Cupid,
My leisure hours were spent
In practtcing my archery,
And people were content.
But nowadays, to hold the fort,
One has to be an all round sport.
I've learned to golf and caddIe
And score without dcmur,
I bicycle and shoot and fish:
I'm not a bad chauffeur.
But, more than all. 1t Erieves my hear
To find that I must dress the part
"In all of this" sighed Cupid.
THE nervous strain is great.
Yet the people seem to him l snOuld
More matches Consunmate.
They do not know the wear and tear
OF joining an athletic pair"

Evanston Press Writes Concerning the
Burial of Thomas M. Johnston.
Formerly of This city-one of a
Family of Twelve Children-Wife
iun Now at Evanston.

h Evanston Press of Saturday thus
refers to Thomas NJ. Johnston, a form.
er machinist of this city, who met
death in Nebraska last week, as told
in the columns Of The Republican the
next day, by the blowing up of the gas
oline tank Of a Union Pacific weed
burning outfit:
Married in This City.
After leaving Evanston Mr.. Johnston
was for some time employed at Lara
ME, where on the goth of November,
1893, he was married t o Miss Ella
Beacham. To this union were born
three children-a boy IL, and two
younger girls, who with the grief-strick-
en- mother are left to mourn.
First of Family to Die.
Deceased was one Of a family of
twelve c~hildren-six girls and six boys
and was the first of them to pass
away. The Johnston family are well
known and respected in this commun-
ity, the parents being natives of Scot
land. The father of the family died
about two years ago, but Mrs. Johnston
survives him. Mr.. Johnston was a
member of Modern Woodmen, and
members of the order acted as pail
bearers at the funeral.
The sisters and brothers surviving
him are: Mrs. L. E. Smith, Mrs.
James ARREST, Mrs. C. o. Fetscher,
John S. and Henry Johnston, Evanston;
Mrs. L. Fornoff and Mrs. George c. Re
berg, Ogden; James Johnston and
Mrs. H. o. Kaar, Salt Lake; Walter NJ.
Johnston, Green River, and David John
ston, Oakley.
Funeral on Friday.
The funeral was conducted from the
home of Mr.. Johnston's mother in
North Evanston yesterday afternoon,
Rev. Leon C. Hills, officiating. Many
friends assembled to pay a last tribute
of respect to their neighbor and com.
rade, and all were impressed with the
sermon, as also with the music by the
Presbyterian choir. The floral offer
ings were profuse and beautiful, it hav-
ing been necessary to charter a special
carriage to convey them to the GENE
terry. Among the flowers was as beau
floral piece from Mr.. Johnston's
fellow employees at Grand Island, a
of their esteem. Seldom, if ev-
er, has a larger concourse wendell its
way to the city cemetery than upon
occasion; it seemed as if every
available vehicle in town had been
pressed into service, thus %evidencing
the respect and esteem in which de-
ceased was held in this community.
Those who mourn have the sympathy
of our townspeople.
