Big Delegation of the Old Boy Club Is on Hand to Witness the Exhibition?The Old Fellow Comes to Grief. [Copyright, 1907, by E. C. Parcells.] When dinner at the Bowser residence had been finished the other evening Mr. Bowser made a sneak upstairs, and a few minutes later Mrs. Bowser heard him softly opening the front door. "If you are going to the drug store. I wish to send for something." she called from her chair in the sitting room. "W-what is it?" he stammered. She rose up and went out into the hall to find him ready to go out with a pair of roller skates in his hand. "What does this mean?" was asked after a moment. "I was going to the rink to take a few turns for the exercise of it," was I fhfl eliomofoflad oncwdr luy OUUlUV^i4VV.V& ?***W *? V* t "But why didn't you say something to me about It? Those skates are new, and you must have just bought them. Who advised you to put on roller skates for exercise?" "An instructor for a club gymnasium was in the office today, and, noticing how I dragged my legs when I walked, he recommended roller skating. I ' knew I'd have a fuss with you if I said anything about it, and so I was going out quietly." . Tried It Once Before. "There will be no fuss, Mr. Bowser. If you think it will do you good, I shall be glad to have you go. You ought to remember some things, however. Last year you tried roller skating in the garret, and after a crash that nearly brought the house down I PAK OP B0LU2R SKATES IN HIS HAND. ran up to find you on the floor unconscious. You had a lame back for three weeks." "But I must have tripped over something." "You are not built for skating. I don't want to hurt your. feelings, but you must know that you are too pudgy for such work. You are short and fat and"? "Stop right there, Mrs. Bowser!" he commanded as his face grew red and white by turns. "Your object is as plain as the nose on your face. Because you were never on roller skates and are afraid to try them you want to keep me from the rink. It's jealousy, envy and spite and nothing else. Pudgy! Short and fat! By John, if tilings have come to tnis point, we can't call in onr lawyers too soon!" "But if you fall down and roll all over the floor"? "Who's going to fall down? Who's going to roll all over the floor?" "But when I saw you on ice skates last winter"? Why He Fell. "Are ice skates roller skates? Is a shovel a spade? Because there was a perfect jam on the lake and I had a bit of a fall you look to see me make a holy show of myself at the roller rink tonight Mrs. Bowser, you are driving me very close to the dead line. Few husbands would have stood what I have. Be very careful about pushing me further." "I shall be glad to have you go, and I hope you will have a good time," she answered, regretting that she had argued the matter at all. He looked at her for a moment to see If she was in earnest or indulging in sarcasm and then left the house With the observation that she needn't sit up for him. A block away he met one of the Old Boy club. The Old Bey was glad to see him. He was also glad' to learn that Mr. Bowser was bound for the roller rink to cut a few pigeon wings. Presently they met another and then a third and fourth. it seemea as if the Old Boys were putting themselves out to meet the man who needed exercise. Smarting under what Mrs. Bowser had said, he asked of them if they thought he was too pudgy for skating. Ought to Be a Good Skater. "Great heavens, no!*' was the reply of the spokesman. "You are simply what is called a solid man. Any kind of skating ought to come easy to you. and, though you are a beginner. I Shall be surprised if you don't astonish the audience with your curlycues. Pudgy! Lands alive, who could have said that?" j I At the rlftfc Mr. Bowser encountered , five more of the Old Boys. Any other man might have suspected a put up job, but it didn't even strike him as a | curious coincidence. He hau walked bravely into the lion's mouth, but after getting there he began to feel a few qualms. There were a hundred young i people there, and, though he watched for five minutes, he saw no one fall down. Those qualms were added to , when a good looking young girl who j stood near him called out to a young , man: .J "Jimmie, be around when this old ] fellow makes his debut. There will be ( a wagon load of fun. If he's got a , wife, it's a wouder she didn't keep him home." ? "Never mind her," remarked one of the Old Boys. "It pains me to see such frowardness in a young girl. Perhaps she won't feel herself so smart when : you have taught the mob how to cut a i pigeon wing." Begins to Have Doubts. "I shouldn't like to fall down out there on the floor," said Mr. Bowser in rueful tones. ( "Fall down, man! Why, I should just as soon look for the heavens to fall. ( We are all impatience to see you in your great act. Shall I help you put j on your skates?" Mr. Bowser wanted to go home. He wanted to be in that safe and comfortable sitting room with Mrs. Bowser. He wanted to be smoking his cigar and watching the cat on the hearth rug. Mrs. Bowser had called him pudgy, but he would forgive her. He fussed with his skates until he < could fuss no longer. It had gone around the rink that he was a chain- i pion, and at least half the skaters had taken seats to give him room. He T1 <T oT-imit- n Qlldflon fit UlUl^XUU OVlUVxWUilHj M^V14b vv %.% tack of rheumatism and that his heart was palpitating in a strange way, but it wouldn't do. The Old Boys crowded 1 around him and spoke encouraging words, and his skates were finally J fastened on, and he rose up. "Are you going to give us an exhibition of fancy skating?" asked the manager as he came up. "I dun-dunno," replied Mr. Bowser as he wiped the sweat from his forehead. "You see, I didn't expect there'd be more than half a dozen people here tonight, and"? "Just keep your eyes on him if .you want to know what roller skating is," warned one of the Old Boys, and with , ( that the man who wasn't pudgy was launched out on the floor. For a moment he stood like a man afraid tc , move an eyelash. He would have given a billion dollars to be back on a bench. He would have given two billions to have been on his own front steps. He would have given all the gold and diamond mines in the world ; to have been sitting near Mrs. Bowser. The crowd took it the other way, however. They thought he was acting in order to increase the applause later on, and they cheered and shouted. Mr. Bowser hung to the spot like a dog to a root, but he had to move at last. There came to his heart a wild hope that Providence might take care of his feet for the next few minutes, and he made a desperate dash. Fell on His Head. His right foot made a bee line for the wild and woolly west and his left for Toronto, Ont., and then he shot forward and upward and came down on the back of his head and knew no more. It was a new feat, and there was wild applause. His lying there all sprawled over a quarter of an acre of space was also a new feat and a dozen of the more enthusiastic skaters seized him and dragged him around on the polished floor for five minutes. When he finally opened his eyes h<j had been deposited on one of the seats, and an Old Boy was pouring cold water down the back of his neck. "W-what is it?" was asked. I "Bowser, you go home." < "W-what for?" "Because you are a pudgy little man and have made an ass of yourself. Oh, if you could have only seen yourself when you bounded into the air like a billy goat and then came down on your head! Ha, ha, ha!" Mr. Bowser limped home. Mrs. Bow- i ger was still up and waiting for him. "Well, did you get your exercise?" i she asked as he flung his skates down in the hall. No answer. "Many people there?' He threw his hat and overcoat down * after the skates. "How did you get along with your 1 pigeon wings?" The silence of the grave, broken only ' by the creak of the steps as he crept upstairs and undressed, with sighs, and got into bed, with suppressed groans. Mr. Bowser had skated his skate. He was a high roller who had been brought low. M. QUAD. A Discordant Note. -It's finished, and I've left the glae pot insideLuetige Welt t "MELON WASN'T CUT." President of Railroad Company Thinks Discretion Better Part of Valor. The directors of the Great Mel?ti Railroad company were gathered round the board. It was a highly important meeting. "Gentlemen." said the president, "we have, as you know, accumulated a sur plus of $30,000,000. As honest and painstaking men it only remains for us to decide the form in which this shan be distribute# to our hardworking stockholders, of whom I?ahem!?am oue of the largest." At this moment the superintendent of the road was announced. "Gentlemen, excuse me for interrupting you, but the fact is a strike hag taken place at the other end of the road and is rapidly spreading. The en* gineers complain that they have to work nearly fifteen hours out of the twenty-four, which makes it impossible for them to do their duty, thus increasing the danger of severe accident. The brakemen are paid starvation wages owing to the fact that the ice trust ["Of which I am a director," murmured the president], the coal trust, the meat trust ["In which we are all vitally interested," murmured the other directors], have put up the price of all necessities. Ilore are the demands of the men." The president, concealing his annoyance as much as possible, glanced over the paper handed to him and then said: "What is your pleasure? Shall we 4-1-. -** w/\ yvP 4-1 AnA ? cirrn ! rl Arl luise int; ul uiloc Luioguiutu men?" "Never!" muttered the other directors unanimously. Thereupon the president of the board turned to the superintendent. "You have heard our reply," he said. "Make usual efforts to take care of passengers and shippers, call on the militia if necessary and issue a manifesto showing how we have worked and labored to preserve harmony, how unjust the demands of our employees Rre and how we will if necessary fight to the death and put the dear public to no end of inconvenience and trouble rather than give up one iota of the rights to which we are entitled under the constitution." Then, turning to the directors, he whispered, "Gentlemen. I guess we'd better not cut that melon until after this strike is over."?New York Life. The Restaurant Grafter. Waiter ?

I heard him groaning in the night; He said his head would split. And then he thought his back would break In just a little bit; He told us that his legs were sore, And soon it was his hip. It seems that everything is sick When father has the grip. The doctor came today and left Some capsules, and he said To take one each three hours until The pain had really fled. Said pa: "That means twelve hours before I give this pain the slip. I'll bet he'd find a faster dope If he had got the grip." And then he told ma that he thought That he was going to die, And ma says, "No; that isn't so," And gave the reason why. Then pa got mad and told her that He didn't want her lip.
