The Hoot Owl cam* down from the tri*
all dressed up In baggy (potted clothe*.
He had a plpeln his beak and u big club
In on* claw.
' I'll l*t you know," replied the Bogey
Man. "that 1 have had games with some
of the very beat players in the country,
and besides that I cun talk Boon h better
than you .-an,"
"Ho, ho." answered the Owl. "my peo
ple said hoot beforb there were any
Scotchman. l*v© come to show you bow
to play the real game of golf "
"Follow me." screamed the Hcot Owl
Ho led the Bogey Man to a held which
was all rough. The rabbits and the held
mica had ta-en working all night making
holds everywhere they could.
"Why, this Is no place to play golf,"
aold the Bogey Man as he took a big .trlnk
of oatmeal water.
"It'* tine.” said the Hoot Owl. "Isn't It,
8!v Fo*?"
Sly Fox came up with n whole bagful
Of sticks with twisted rods on title end
of them. The Bogey Man had always p!a>-

ed with just on> straight stick. Sly Fox
had gone Into the woods, where he pulled
up saplings and kept those which had the
funniest and the ugliest roots on the ends
of them.
"Now then," aald the Hoot Owl, "I guess
that we are all raedy. Sly Fox. you can
carry the clubs."
The Hoot Owl and Sty Fox made the
Bogey Man use all of the queer kinds of
sticks which eh>y hnd brought He h id
to shove the balls Into hob s over the
Held, and then he had lo apnorvthem out
again with two or three kinds of club*,
and then ahove them over to another hole
Aa fast as he got through with one club
Ely Fox would take It away from him and
give him another which was more twisted
and curved than the one before.
"laci't he learnleic fas*'’" sabl the Hoot
Owl to His Fox with a wink
“O. fine." answered siv Fox "Oo|f
players are born and noi made "
Although the Bogey Man was %-ery tlrel.
he tried to look happy, anil said he never
had so much fun In all hts life, lie stum
bled Into pita and nearly sprained bis
ankle He knocked the trails into ponds
and ‘ over big bumps In the meadows
Nearly every time he stiuck a I*lll It
would go out of sight. Sly Fox tried to
find 11, but, somehow, he never could.
Then the Bogey Man had in ray Sly Fox
35 ceni* for u new ball. Before ih- day

"I've l>een wondering what the old In

pause.
The bystanders sm.led. The old Indians
was one of Grandpa Jamesons favorite
topics He considered ao many of the
pro**r>e day events In relation to those
dusky early aettlers.
"1 1 always seemed kind of mean to me

There was a sympathetic murmur
throug.i the crowd

A great glow puls'd over Grandpa
Jameson’s face. "I'd like to." he said tre
mulously. ai *l © sear rolhd down his
wrinkled checks.
Just then there arose a great shout
The rnli© had come.
“And I'll ride rn (he first car," Orwnd-
P Jameson ruminated to himself, as he
sat under the shade of the tree
and watched the Inst work of the V?allan
"I’ll go riding over the*© streets tha*

Bomething awoke him—an ahanr© of
something, as It were He sat up hastllv
The crowd had dispersed, the rails were
In place.
It must be time for the car to start Had
he missed It?
H* rose eMfflv and tried to hasten to
'vrd the car house His feet wer© very
heavy.
There was a great noise a sort of hum- j
mlng and erruping In his ears T*p the j
lino he could see something coming Tt
looked like a yellow* house sliding along.
Hpark* flew* out from the wire overhead
It was the first car
It drew near wßh a rumble
"It s it going and I ain't on It.” Grandpa !
said mournfully, ns It cam© abreast, then j
passed him.
But no—it stopped Borne one leaned out 1
an beckoned to the old man A dozen
hands were stretched out to help him.
He sank Kick, speechless, on the seat,
and the car began to move.
There was a confused murmur about
him. but b* said never a word.
"Bv thunder, there's Oaluslusf*' It broke
from him suddenly In excited tones
"Bure enough' Galuslus In hi* light gig
and swiftest hors** was driving along at
a hre ikneck pe*d
“Gould you"—Grandpa leaned forward
anxiously and spoke entreatlngly to the
motorman—"could you go just a little

The m n nodded and gov© the crank he
held a turn The car shot forward They
were abreast of the gig now. Gxluslus'
mouth was set.
"He's do ng his hesf.” Grandpa chuc
kled "That's h s last trick, the one he al
ways boat a on, but It’s no go— wr'r©

The car was a trifle In advance
Grandpa's white hair fluttered In the
breeze. The car kept its speed.
Galuslus wws far behind.
Grandpa sprang excitedly to Ms f.*st
The chairman of the selectman clutched
him on one side, and the president of the
rood on the other. He waved his old hat

It Is estimated that of the three million

The wife V>f the American, or more pro
perly. the Fng'lsh-spcaklng miner. Is one
of Ihe most steadfast, loyal women In the
world. A young woman recently came
home from nn Interior city, where she had
gone to visit f 1 lends and purchase her
simple wedding trousseau. The first news
that gre©(fd her was of the Impending
strike. Jler friends supposed, of course,
that the wedding would he po.-tpon'd. but
they counted without their brlie. The
wedding, by her request, was hurriedly
consummated, ard she met the protests
of her family and friends wlih the ex
planation:
"John needs me now worse than ever.
He has no mother, and a home wl 1 keep
him out of mischief We both have to
live, strike or no strike, and we’te going
to fight It out together He'll be the bet

And something In the quiet air of de

young bride promised th it "the boys’*

a strong**, true heart betting In unison
with that of th* brawny young miner—the
sort of a heart that makes mischief for
the min© owner, and happiness for his
employes
At on© small hut comfortabl© horn©,
where th husband has been earning from
to |7* a month for th© support of his
wife and three children. 1 found ample
preparation for a strike of modeiate dur
ation. The mother reminded one strongly
of a New England housekeeper, spare of
figure, short of epeerh. hut warm or heart,
am! one looking we;| to the n*da of her
household. Talking of her plane, she
said:
"Th© miner © wife la always credited

or hopelessly extravagant Bom© of us

a miner, and with my mother I live I

them to be miners. W© are educating one

to (h© strike, but he won’t be a scab. W©
will have to economize, but we will not

Then she showed her store-room where
one big shelf was covered with glasses
and jars flUgd with preserves, jellies and
pickles.
"These." she said, "are the only lux
uries w© will have during the ©trike.”
There, also, were dried apple*, peaches
and grapes, from their owm trees and
vines, dried corn, a few bean*, canned

of quilts.
"You see.’ eh© remarked, "we won't

Hypnotism i no longer a myth, a fanciful creation of the mind, bul a realby.
a mol Imtcnl power, capable of proiluclnir Infinite aood. For the purpoee of acer
■u.mnit the exact value of this much-talked-of power a committee, compored of
a prominent mmleter. a well-known phyalclan. a practical buplnera man and a
lemllmr railroad man. was appointed, lo Inveatlxate Personal Magnetism and Hat
notslm.
Tae committee carried on n series of Investlratlona In regard to the power of
hypnotism to Influen e the actions nnd deeds of people I nthe everyday walks of life.
The first u p taken by the members of the committee was to master th
science in ever? and tall, to that they might state from personal experience the
good or evil this taranxc power might produce. They wrote the New York Itvetl
ture of 8-lence of Rochester, N. Y.. the nreeiest school of Hypnotism and Occult
sciences In the world, and received full and complete Instruction* In regard to
how hypnotism may he used to Influence people In business, how to use It In
treating discuses, e'c.. eh- In a few days they mastered - these instruct lona and
wer* ftill-fle li?ed h\pito’ Ist*.
It w.i* IrtrlN demonstrated that hypnotism may be employed so that ths
person Op' rated upon is entirely unconscious of the fact that he Is being In
fluenced. and. all things considered, the committee regards It as the most val
uable dis.-overt y of modern times. A knowledge of It Is essential lo one's suc
cess In life nnd well-lielug In society.
Mr. Stotfer p< rtorme | (he itMonlshln* feat of hypnotising Mr. Cunningham,
of Pueblo. Col., at a distance of sevsral blocks. He also hypnotised sn aged gen
tleman nnd had hint run through the streets shouting "Red-hot peanuts for sale."
Mr ttloufed says It Is Indlspensab'e to one's business success, that It gives a man
a wonderful power and advantage over his associates
Rev. Mr yulnn says that every minister and every mother should under
stand personal magnetism and hypnotism for the benefit they can be to those
with whom they are brought In daily contact.
Ir More held says, after a thorough Investigation, that h* consider# It th#
most marvelous therapeutic or curative agent of modern times.
Jacob Itodratn, Jr., says: "I believe otto may, through the agency of hypnotism,
develop ~ force of character, a magnetic imver that will make him practi
cally Irreiddihle. I never before understood th secret of th* Influence which
some men exercise <iv. r audiences and la’ge bodies of people. I was completely as
founded et the extent to which pnple can he Inflneced without their knowledge

The N.-w York Institute of Science has Just Issued 10.000 copies of a hook
Which fully explains all the re-rets of this marvelous power, and gives expll -lt di
