Why Scotland’s Soil Is Thin.
An English golfer on a Scottish links
hit the turf ton times for every once
that lie struck the ball. Ilis cadilii
ventured on a sarcastic remonstrance.
“Ha’ peety on auld Scotland, sir.'
said lie. “She's suffered ower eneuch
at the haunds o’ yer countrymen ii
the past that ye sud treat her sae sal:
the day. Hit. the ha’, man, an’ let the
grtin’ alane.”
“Confound Scotland!” shouted the
exasperated golfer, flinging down hi?
club in a rage. “It’s just what Dr
Johnson described it—‘stone, wate;
and a little earth.’ ”
“Sao tlie docther said that, did lie'.'”
inquired the caddie.
“He did, and he was a very wise
man, let me tell you,” snapped the
Englishman.
“1 believe ye,” retorted the caddie
“Nao doot the docther was a verra

Phases of the National Game.
There are two sides to almost any
thing, and the national game is far
from being an exception. From the
standpoint of the baseball enthusiast
“our town lias a club in the league."
From the standpoint of the profession
al player the league lias a club in each
city. In the heart of the baseball pa
triot our club is a band of heroes, going
out to conquer other cities and uphold
our honor. In the mind of the man
with soul so dead they are stock com
panies—properly financed. To the ex
cited partisans at a game each player
is an earnest contestant for his side
To the man who is from foreign parts
it would be an important fact that
they are hired men. employees with
salaries set by companies that all be
long to the same corporation, and tha:
they get their pay for playing and 1u:
for winning. To the public it Is a

Women and Cards.
It seems that the passion for card
playing among Jewish women is not of
recent date. More than a century ago
Miss Rebecca Franks wrote:
"The ladles of Philadelphia have
more cleverness in the turn of an eye
than those of New York have in their
whole composition. With what ease
have I seen a Chew, a Penn, an O:
wald or an Allen and a thousand oth
ors entertain a large circle of both
sexes, the conversation without the
aid of cards never flagging nor scorn
ing in the least strained or stupid.
Here in New York you enter a room
with a formal set courtesy, and after
the how-dos things are finished. All is
dead calm until the cards are intro
duced, when you see pleasure dancing
in the eyes of all the matrons, and
they seem to gain new life.”—Hebrew

Limited Command.
John Puryear of Richmond was one
of Mosby’s men in tlie eventful days
when the woods and hills of northern
Virginia made the picturesque back
ground for some of the hottest encoun
ters of the civil war. Puryear was a
mere stripling when the war began and
put ou his lirst long trousers as a wear
er of the Confederate gray. Neverthe
less. he fought like a veteran. He lack
ed a veteran’s balance, l'or, although
fearless, he had not the slightest judg
ment, a fact which, says Mr. Munson,
the author of "Mosby’s Men,” Mosby
once recognized with considerable hu
mor. All that Puryear knew about war
was what he gathered in each mad
rush through the ranks of the enemy,
with his long black hair flying in the
wind and his revolver hot with action.
He rode like a centaur, and no enemy
ever existed that he would not engage,
hand to hand, hip and thigh. After one
of the most daring rushes Mosby said
to him:
“Puryear, I am going to make you n
lieutenant for gallantry.”
Puryear swept his plumeA hat in a
bow that was royal In its Sr. ice.
“But,” continued Colonel Mosby, “I
don’t want you ever to command any
of my men!”
Shark Worship In Hawaii.
The shark has been perhaps the
most universally worshiped of all the
Hawaiian animal gods. Strange as it
may seem, the Islanders formerly re
garded the shark as being the friend
and protector of all those who pay him
devout attention. Each locality along
the coast of the main islands of the
Hawaiian group formerly had its pa
tron shark, whose name, place of
abode, history, etc., were all well
known to his superstitious worshipers.
The biggest and most celebrated of
these shark divinities was a male,
whose mouth was so large that he
could easily swallow any other shark
known to frequent those waters. Ac
cording to the Hawaiian folklore sto
ries, the hulk of this “god of the sen”
was so great that he could not pass
through the narrowest channels which
separate the different islands, hilt
spent Ids time swimming around the
whole group and looking after the wel
fare of the people.
The Pelican and Its Pouch.
Among the curiosities of nature must
he reckoned the pouch of the pelican,
whic h serves equally well as a net with
which to scoop up tisli and as a bag to
convey food to its young. When not in
nao the bird can contract its pouch so
that it is barely discernible, hut when
it is fully distended It will hold two
gallons of water. When the pelican is
hunting for food it flies slowly about
twenty foot above the surface of the
water, scanning its depths for any sign
of its prey. As soon as a tish is seen
there is a sudden folding of a pair of
wings, a downward plunge with the
speed of an arrow head first Into the
seal, the unerring marksman reappear
ing in n moment and floating on the
waves long enough to reveal a glimpse
of a fish gliding down its capacious
gullet and to shake the water from its
disheveled plumage.
Men and Their Autogrc ohs.

itherwlse of liis response. Actors and

Covering Up Wastefulness.
The present evil of municipal own
ership is the extravagance of political
management of Industries. This is
generally masked by putting part of
the cost, on the taxpayers by borrow
ing money on the credit of the city or
spending it* out of the general rev
enues. The ultimate and oppressive
evil of municipal ownership as M
tratod in the history of British provin
cial cities Is the steady progress io
wa-d bankruptcy made by contlnuafcr
increaslng the city’s debt to render Ml
kinds of service to the public at a
utant loss, continually made up nv
taxation and borrowing till the ci
credit Is gone.- From an Edltorlafr mi
Minneapolis Tribune.
