At Select Roller Rink.

Two public roller skating sessions
are held at the Select Roller rink. one
in the afternoon and one in the even
ing. Both sessions are popular always,
but naturally enough the evening ses-
sion is more largely patronized, be-
cause many are not able to go in the
afternoon on account of their work.
This state of affairs makes the after
n3on session particularly desirable as
a time for learning to skate. Prof. VIII
Carpenter. the champion trick ana
fancy skater of the United States, is
still giving lessons and the afternoon IL
the best time for this work. No better
sport nor exercise exists than roller
skating, and especially at the Select
Roller ring it is a joy forever.
Thursday evening will he big night

roller skating and moving pictures,
Manager Murree has booked a one-mile
couple race between Miss Summerton

A Dog of OLD Rome.

It happened that a plot against the
emperor Nero had been discovered,
and the chief conspirator had been put
to death, together with some of his
servants.
One of these men had a dog of
which he was very fond and from the
moment the man was thrown into
prison the dog coul not be persuaded
to move away from the door At last
there came a day when the man suf
fered the cruel death common in Rome
for such offenses. He was thrown
down a steep flight of stairs, and his
neck was broken by the fall.
A crowd CT Romans gathered round
the place of execution in order to
see the sight and in the midst of them
all the dog managed TO reach his
masters side. and he lay there howl
ing pite0usly.
Then one in the crowd felt sorry
and threw him a piece of meat. But
the Cog took it and laid it across his
masters mouth.
By and by the men came for the
body in order to throw it into the
river Tiber. Even then the dog swan
after it, and held 1t up and tried to
bring it to land; and the people came
cut in multitudes from the houses
round about to see what it was to be
faithful unto death.

At noontime Polly Anne went sliding

Two little girls went quite a ways

The teacher and also their mother
had told them not to go off the school
grounds; but they did not mind, and
invited Polly Anne to come; but, no,
Polly Anne was determined.
When school began two little girls
with damp shoes and dresses had to be
seated by the fire. They had to stay
in their recess, and next day Polly
Anne heard that they were sick at
home with very hard colds.
When Polly Anne had told it to her
mother she said:
Mamma, don't you think little girls
are happiest when they mind their
mothers?"
Polly Anne's mother said:
Yes, Polly Anne ] do; and / think
you are much happier now than your
two little friends
