FLATDWELLER IN SUBURBS
He Found That He Had Forgotten
How to Skate And Something
Else Too
I wouldnt have thought said a
former flat dweller that one could
ever forget how to skate but I have
discovered that he can
Last spring after twenty years in
a city flat we moved to a house in
the suburb near which there is a pond
that gives good skating in winter
When I was a boy I used to be good
on skates and the other day I went
out to this pond I hadnt skated for
more than twenty years but I had no
idea but that I could put on a pair
of skates and just glide right off with
the rest of them Do you know what
actually happened
I got a pair of skates and stood up
on them but that was about all I
could stand up but not much more
and surely I was surprised I
made a few efforts and I did
get a little distance but only by
great effort and my feet were apt to
spread out and my ankles to turn
and I was all the time in danger o
falling down So I was very glad to
get those skates off and to acknowl
edge that I had forgotten how to
skate But that was nothing to anoth
er thing I had forgotten namely the
use of the snow shovel
There was a time when I could
shovel snow with the best of them
but during these twenty years up in
the flat I had never touched a shovel
the janitor attended to all that But
here in our own suburban home when
snow fell the shovelling was up to me
the walk from the front door to the
sidewalk the stretch of sidewalk it
self and the walk around to the kitch
en door
And when I tackled this job for the
first time well I was surprised in
deed to find how much Id forgotten
about snow shovelling
But there was nobody but me to
do it and it had to be done I may
never again learn to skate but Ive
had to learn anew how to shovel
snow
CHURCHMAN PARTY TO FRAUD
i At Leact Eccfesisctic Thought So
1 When Tdd Emerald Was Only
an Imitation
Bishop Johnson cf South Dakota
tells this story of himself
I was dining rvQ jiisht beside a
man cf whem I had never heard be
fore I soon discovered that he was
quick wilted rl Inrr I was alco to
discover that j j wclry expert
I was wearing an eircuJd ring wlucii
I prize very highly for its history aa
well as for its bany
Will you let ire see your ring
he asked
I gladly passed the trinket to him
he examined it critically and then re
turned it saying
It is the best imitation emerald I
ever saw
I was startled I told him that it
was genuine and had been used in
England by churchmen for 200 years
and that it had always been consid
ered a flawless gem
Nevertheless he replied it is an
imitation emerald
Some time later I met an expert
in gems in New York showed him
the ring and asked his opinion of it
The man looked at it and told mo
that it was an imitation
I have reproached myself for hav
ing told you he remarked
Im glad you did tell me I replied
Else I might have transmitted a lie
to posterity
Ycu surely would have been in
good company in doing that said he
and the incident was at an end The
World Today
Decline of Repentance
Repentunce once so universally
practiced at this season of the year
as well as on birthdays and some
times on Sundays is rapidly becom
ing one of the obsolete virtues Even
novelists seem to have grown tired of
the wabbling heroine the lady who
plunged into exotic sins one day and
betook herself metaphorically to a
nunnery the next only to join tho
army cf backsliders with greater zest
than ever as soon as her fit of peni
tence was over Despite copybook
maxims warning the unwary of the
futility of indulging in lamentation
over spilt milk repentance has flour
ished exceedingly and women espe
cially have hitherto always manifest
ed a strong bias in that direction
Repentance needs leisure and that
may be why it is gradually going out
of fashion People have no time to
look backwards and moreover they
are now realizing the futility of doing
so Like Omar Khayyam they under
stand that no one can rub out what
the moving Finger has written and
that tears are powerless to undo what
has once been done Exchange
Much Named Isle
The Parisians who are extremely
fond of changing place names with
in their jurisdiction have never equal
ed the record established in this re
spect in the case of the Island of
Reunion which has changed its name
four times in a little over half a cen
tury and with little or no reason for
doing so
In 1793 it was Uourbon as it had
been for a century and a half but
the convention then changed it to Re
union 4
Under the empire It became Isle
Bonaparte at the restoration it revert
ed to Bourbon and finally in 1848
It became Reunion once more and so
far has retained that name

Which Is Democracy
Since Senator Hitchcock is
claiming tiie honor of being elec

ground thait he ds a betfter demo
crat thau Mr Bryan it is only
fair that their records be compar
ed In the winter of 1899 1900
Mr Hitchcock tried to secure
from Governor Poynter an np
poimtnient as United States sen
ator in spite of -the fact that the
democrats and populists in the
legislature had supported Sena
tor Allen for re election The
rule of thei people was not in Mr
Hitchcocks thoughts when his am
bition stood in the way Mr Bry
ans indorsement of Senator Al
len aroused Mr Hitchcocks
wrath which after a temporary
outburst wasi suppressed so long
as an appearance of friendship
was advantageous to him
Im 1904 Mr Bryanj opposed
Judge Parkers noniinajfcion and
was supported by a unanimous
vote in the state convention In
spirte of this Mr Hitchcock tiirjew
whatever influence he had in
favor of Judge Parker the rule
of the people did not weigh with
him then At this time Senator

the hope of securing uot a major
ity but merely plurality for Gov
ernor Harmon While he is shoui
ing for the rule of the people lie
is openly working to defeat the
will of the people
The voters can decide whether
Mr Hitchcock has boeu is mow
on is likely to be mere- loyal to
demceratiic principles than Mr
Bryan And a word as to Mr
Hutchcceks charge that it is un
damcerc dc for Mr Bryan to re
sign if he cs elected a delegate
Mr Bryan can not know before
the delegates are elected what in
structions may be mi veil He
must therefore choose whether Ill
wiJ fdrst refuse to run
run reserving the night to re
sign or third run and consent
to obev whatever instructions a
plurality may give even though
the instructions may compel Mm
not only to do what he believes
to be disastrous1 to fclic party hut
may cojnpel him toi help a minor
ity of the democrats of Nebras
ka ito defeat the will oif a major
ity for if Mr Wilson and Mr
Clark divide the progressive vote
equally Mr Harmon may secure
the instructions without polling
more than thirty five per cent of
the democratic vote polled
Which is the more democratic
for Mr Bryan to announce in- ad
vance that he will resign and al
low Mr Harmon s interests to he
protected bv those who can do
it conscientioiisly or for Mr
Hitchcock to seek to help a Har
mon minority override a progres
sive majority
Mr Bryan is following the
course he has followed for twenty
years with the approval of tlie de
moeracv of the state In 1894
soon after Mr Bryan became ed
itor of the World Herald Mr
Hitchcock the -proprietor of the
namer sold two columns to the
republican committee to be used
to onnose the Gubernatorial can
didate whom the paper was sup
porting Mr Bryan announced to
Mr Hitchcock his purpose to re
sign if the contract nvas not can
celled Mr Hitchcock did not
deny the right of resignation
then tout cancelled the contract
hut was af terwards compelled bj
the court to carry it out In
1893 a democratic state conven
tion indorsed the unconditional
repeal of the Sherman act
