How TO Roller-Skate.
The reporter, who unfortunately
hasn't as yet learned to roller-skate
was anxious to know how to learn.
"The first thing" said Zoe, a
beginner should do, is to walk on the
skates first"
When the suggestion was gently
made that this might be easier said
than done, Zoe laughingly remarked
They can if they have the nerve,
but the majority haven't the nerve.
| always advise every person to go
alone. The majority of people are
timid.
when they can once stand on
their feet, they should learn to strike
out, and when they strike out, they
should bend their knees, and they
should swing their body the way
they strike"
To prove her contention that roll
er-skating was healthful sport, Zoe
showed the newspaperman a large
scrapbook containing stories clipped
from papers from all over the coun-
try, among which was a lengthy ar
ticle taken from Health Culture
magazine; advocating roller-skating
as a healthful pastime.
The sisters have been repeatedly
presented with medals, lockets and
diamond rings. They receive the
usual quota of letters from cranks,
the latest being one from a man by
the name of Davis of West Virginia.
q H. l.
write novel and the climax is to be
the answer he will get to his let
ter. 1t is just barely possible that
that particular prospective best sell
ler' may be minus last chapter.
Zoe weighs 1870 pounds and her
sister Claire 1873. They are perfect
specimens of girlhood, with the glow
of health and beauty written all over
their agile persons. Withal they
are bright and intelligent young
people, beyond the average.
If all the sickly and weak chill
dren could be transformed into
strong robust girls by learning to
roller skate, it would be well for
the public school authorities of
Honesdale to continue to foster the
growth of this healthful sport, as
they have done for some time past
And when little five-year-old
Johnny can't eat oatmeal for break

oh, I'm so SICK" I'm so SICK" it's

and buy him pair of roller skates,
and turn little Johnny loose on the
front porch. N. B. They range in
price from 20 cents to SCI

again and again for the same thing.

IL a. m,-The liquidation movement
gathered increased momentum soon
after the opening. being particularly
noticeable in Union Pacific. which came
out in large lots at rapidly decreasing
prices. The weakness of this stock,
probably more than any other one fea-
ture, vas responsible for the decline.
which was most prominent in the high
grade issues. u, s.. Steel sold off with
greater ease than before. All through
the list new low records were estab-
lished. Union Pacific lost over 4 points,
with 2 point losses in over half a
score of other speculative issues. The

invariably prevalent in times of excite
ment. The market rallied a point here
and there, but its undertone continued
very feverish.
NoonlThe market closed heavy. The
first rally was followed by another de-
cline TO the previous low. after which
trading diminished and the list de-
veloped a steadier tendency. support
ing orders at this point resulted in re-
coveries, which in some cases, includ-
ing United States Steel. Pennsylvania

above Yesterdays close. In the ina
dealings prices shaded again.
