Roller skating is quite an ancient
pastihe. 1t began in the early sixties
with what is known as parlor skates,
having india rubber wheels, as the
thoughtful designer explained, SO his
youthful patrons should not injure the
drawing room carpet. For q while the
clumsy things were tried and aban-
doned, until P1impton invented a skate
that could describe curve on a side
ward pressure Of the foot, and then the
exercise became popular and has re-
mained in favor ever since by fits and
starts. There are seasons for rolling
skating as for tops and marbles and
ball games, but no. one can give their
precise dates. It depends ON the ca
price Of juvenile neighborhood. Let
one agile boy skate along the clear
sidewalk, and presently troops of imita-
tors are rolling after him, cutting all
sorts Of capers to egg on the daring lit
tie girls to the same performance.
Probably In the next century boys and
girls will be roller skating.

notable because Key has been signally

1t always is a mistake, sometimes q
fatal one, for woman too plainly to show

Of the error, of course, is measured by the
manner of manwhom the woman loves; all
men are not alike, and some few can stand
the test of utter security in the possession
of that tender thing-a woman's heart.
But such men are as scarce as blue dia-

a man and, still worse, tells him SO. The
telling is the major part of the mistake.

goes that, in order to crush somebody

nary conversation, Johnson, rhyming
all three words with timed re-
marked, Il cannot find it in my mind
to call it wind, but''-rhyming all three
words with ''blind''-'1 can find it In

versary got the better of him. John

said the other, Il should like to be

A FAMOUS BANKNOTE.
The One That Cruikshank Drew and

tne IroWoS IL Drew.
One day about the year 1918 George
Cruikshank was passing Newgate on
his way to the exchange when, seeing
a crowd collected, he went forward to
learn what was the matter and saw
that 1t was the execution of several
men and women. He was Mortified at
the spectacle and on inquiring learned
that the woman was being hanged for
passing counterfeit one pound notes.
He learned also that this punishment
was quite a common thing, even
though the poor wretches often sinned
in ignorance, being the dupes of men
who sent them to buy some trif1es and
return the change to them. Wrung
with pity and with shame, Cruikshank
went home and Immediately, under the
inspiration of his feeling, sketched a
grOteSque caricature of a banknote
He called it bank restriction note
not to be initiated. He represented on
1t place of execution, with spaces
about filed in with halters and mana

He had just finished this when his
publisher, Hone, entered and, seeing it,
begged to have 1t for publication. So
Cruikshank etched it and gave it to
Hone, who exhibited it for sale in his
window with startling effect. Crowds
quickly began to gather and purchased
so eagerly that the issue was soon ex-
hausted.
Cruikshank was kept hard at work
making more etchings. The crowds
grew so great that the street was
blocked, and the mayor had to send
soldiers to clear it. Hone realized over
