"Sun uy llouie" measure heat sajd the grocery man to rue u.wi boy, as he came in the grocery the morning after Christmas- The boy looked at his shirt front, put his fingers on the stuff and smelled of his fingers, and then said, "O, that is nothing but a lit tle of the turkey dressing and craw.' You see after Pa and I got back from the roller skating rink yesterday, pa was broke all up and lie couldn't carve the turkey, and I had to do it, and sat in a stuffed chair with his head tied up, and a pillow amongst his legs, and he kept complaining that 1 didn't do it right. Gol darn a turkey any way. I should think they would make a turkey flat on the back, so he would lay on a greasy platter without skating all around the table It looks easy to see pa carve a turkey, but when 1 sjieareu mio the bosom of that turkey, and be ,.... in mw on it. the turkey rolled around as though it was on cas to.- and it was all I could do to keep it out of Ma's lap. Hut rasseled with it till 1 got off enoug white meat for pa and Ma and dark meaS enough for me, and I dug out the dressing, but the most of it flew into my shirt bosom, cause the string that tied up the place where t.tit dressino- was concealed about the person of the turkey ,brokepre maturely, and one oyster hit pa in the eye, and he said I was awk. war,d as a cross eyed girl trying to kiss a man with a hair lip. If I ever get to be the head of a fami ly I shall carve turkey, with acorn sheller." "Hut what broke your pa up at the roller skating rink," asked the grocery man. "O, everything broke him up. He is split up so Ma buttons the top of his pants to his collar button, like a bycycle rider. Well, he no busi ness to have told me and m chum that. he. used to be the best skatew in North America, w hen he was a boy. He said he skated once from Albany to New York in an hour ane eighty minutes. Me and my chum thought if pa w as such a ter ror ou skates we would get him to put on a pair ol roller skates and enter him as the "great unknown,'' and clean out the w hole gang. We told-" pa that he inust remember that roller skates were different from ice skates, and that maybe he couldn't skate on them, but 1 he said it didn't make any deference what they were as long as they were skates, and he would just paralyze the whole crowd. So we L'ot a uair-ofhig roller skates for him, and while we were strapping them on, Pa he looked at the skaters glide around on the smooth wax floor just as though they were greased. Pa looked at the skates on his feet, alter they were fasten-, ed, sort of forlorn like, the way a horse t hei f does when they put shackles on his legs, and I told him if he was 'afraid he couldn't skate with them we would take them oil but he said he would beat anybody there, or bust a suspen der. W hen We straightened pa up, and pointed towards the mid dle of the rooni, and he said, "leg go," and we just give him a little push to start him, and he began to go. Well, by gosh, you'd did e to have seen pa try to stop. Yon see, you can't stick in your heel and stop, like you can on ice skates, and pa soon found that out, and he be gan to tutu sideways, and then he threw his arms and walked on hi heels, and he lost his hat, and his -es lx can to stick out, cause he was going right tow ards an iron lost. One arm caught the post and he curled around it a few times, and then he let-go and liegan to fall, and, sir, he kept falling all across the room, and every hotly got out of the way, except a girl, and pa grabbed her by , the polonaise, like a drowning man grabs at straws, though there wasn't any sttaws in herpolonai.se as I know of but pa just liulled her along its though she was done up in a shawl- strap, and his teet went out irom under hint and he struck on his shoulders and kept a going, with the girl dragging along like a bun dle of clothes. If pa had another pair of roller skates on his shoul ders, and castors on bis ears, he coudn't have, slid along any'better Pa is a short, big man, and he was rolling along on his back, he looked like a sola with castors on being pushed across a room by a girl. Eiually pa came to the wall and had to stop, and the girl fell right across him, with her roller skates in his neck, and she called him an old brute, and told him if he didn't let goof her polonaise she would murder him. Just then my chain and-nie got there and we ampn tated pa from the girl, and lifted him up, and told him for heaven's sake to let us take off the skates cause he couldn't skate any more than a cow, and pa was mad iand said tor us to let him alone. -arid he could skate all right, and we let go and he struck out again. Well, sir, I was ashamed. An old man ike pa ought to know better than to try to be a boy. This last time pa said he was going to spread himself, and if I am any judge of spread, he did spread ihimself. Somehow the skates had cot turned around side-wavs on hu feet, and his feet got to going in different directions, and pa's feet were getting so far apart that I afraid I would have two pa's, was lalfthe size, with one leg apiece. 'I tried to cet him to take up a collection of his legs and get them both in the same ward but his arms flew around and one hit me on the noser and I thought if he wanted to strike, the best . friend he had, he could run his old legs hisself When he began to separate I could hear the bones crack, but maybe it was his pants, but anyway he came down on the floor like one of those fellows in a circus who spreads his self, and he kept going and finally he surrounded an iron post with his legs and stopped, and looked pale, and the proprietor-ot the rink told pa if he wanted to give a fly ing trapeze xiertbrmance Jhe would have to go to the gnnasium, ami he couldn't skate on his shoulders any more, cause - other skaters wee afraid of him. Then pa said he would kick the liver out of the proprietor of the riuk, and he got up and steaded himself, and then he tried to kick the man. but both heels went up towonst, aniVpatuin; ed a back summersault and struck right on his vest in front. I guess it knocked the breath out of him, lot- he didn't speak tor a few minutes and then he wanted to go home and we put him on a street car, and he laid down on the hay and rode home. O, the work we had to get pa's clothes off- He had cricks on his back, aud everywhere, and Mr was away to one of the neighbors to look at the presents, and I had to put liniment on pa. and I made a mistake and got a bottle of fund tii re polish, and put it on pa and rubbed it in. and .when Ma came home, pa smelled like a coffin at charity funeral, and Ma said there xvas no wav of netting that vai n ish off of pa till it vor off. 1 say s holidays are a condennuM nuisance anyway. He will have to stay in the house all this week "Yon are met tv rough -on -the old man." said the grocery , man "after he has been so kind to and given yon nice, presents.'? "Nice presents nothin.

The Texas Association of Wool Growers adopted a resolution that the wool growers should establish woolen mills n the South, and espe cially in Texas. That is the right sort of resolution.
