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 wise man, for there is muckle o’ stum an' watter in Scotland—oor mountain 1 an’ lochs that ye come sae far tae so ■ an’ it's a sail- truth that tlie seal is no verra deep. Ye see, there's sic a lam :!e o’ English bodies conies tae Scot land tae play gawf.”—Glasgow Times 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 game. To the president, of the com puny it may be a good or bad “per formance.”—Century. 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 Standa rd.

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. An experienced autograph collector can almost tell to what profession a man belongs by the grudgiiiguess or itherwlse of liis response. Actors and vocalists never demur. They rather 00m to like it. Poets and authors of fiction accede, but with a certain cold dignity: metaphysicians and philoso phers either refuse altogether or com ply with a bad grace; dramatists not only send (heir autographs, but a quo tation from their works as well; peers sign, but with a stiff and formal hau teur; judges and barristers sign in such •1 way that It is not possible to squeeze an I. O. U. over the name. In fact, •very class has of course, with excep tions its own way of dealing with the Importunity of the autograph fiend. — 11. I. Jennings in Connoisseur. Social Life Long Ago.

Two Phases of the Case. “How long is it going to take to get through with this case?” asked the cli ent, who was under suspicion of house breaking. "Well,” replied the young lawyer thoughtfully, “it’ll take me about two weeks to get through with It, but Pm afraid It’s going to take you about four years.” But Bhe Did Tell.

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.
