A game with history of more than
four hundred years must necessarily
have some interesting records. Golf
has been greatly liked by kings, In
the time of james ] it was generally
practised by all classes, The unfor-
mnate Charles / was devoted to golf.
While on visit in Scotland in 1641,
as he was deeply engaged in a game,
news was brought him Of the breaking
out of a rebellion in ireland, and the
royal golfer threw down hia-rlub and
retired in great agitation to Holyrood
house. When he was imprisoned at
Newcastle, his keeper kindly permitted
him to take recreation on the golfnp-
links with his train. 1t is said that
Mary queen of Scots was seen playing
golf in the field beside Seaton few
days after the murder OF her husband.
In 1887 a magnificent gold medal was
presented to st. Andrews by William
w, to be played for annually. One
of the earlier Kings forbade the i'm
portation of golf balls from Holland,
because it took away ma small
quantitie of gold and silver out OF the
iingdome OF Scotland and at one
time 'golf and futeball and other I'M
profitable games were forbidden in
England, because archery, so neces-
sary to the defense of the nation, was
being neglected in their favor,-St.
Nicholas.

Yellow Dogs Revenge After Being
BADLY Whipped by the Ringtnils
There were coons in the woods in
the vicinity of David Cornell's farm
house at Harmony, Pa, says the New
York Sun. There had been sixteen of
them. None of them is left now, ow-
ing to the persistence of Cornells dog
Crockett in gathering the ringtailed
little animals in. There isn't as much
OF the dog Crockett, either, as there
was before he started in on his COON
ing campaign. Crockett is yellow
dog, not much bigger than coon him
self. A little more than three weeks
ago one morning he came imping in
from the woods. Both ears we're slit
into tatters, one eye was closed and
the dew claw of one foot was torn off.
Crockett lay by for few DAYS and
was doctored up. He had tackled
something in the woods that had done
him up nicely, but he was bidinp his
time. AT last he trotted off to the
woods again one evening and was
gone long time. Whom he came
back he had coon with him. The
coon was dead. Crockett had caught
and killed the coon and it was then
surmisod that the coon had been one
of others that the dog had got among
on his former visit to the woods,
much to his Disadvantages and that
Crockett was now having his little re-
vengo,

The Chinese have queer IDEAS about
monstrosities and their right to dis
pose of such freaks. A woman at
Woo-Foo, province of Lukion, recently
gave birth to child having four
perfect eyes, The family were very
greatly exercised over the matter and
tried to get the priest to kin the
monster. This he refused to do, tell
ing them that the best way to guard
against the reoccurrence of such a
calamity was to exhibit it in cage on
the streets for a few days. The priest
stated the length Of time that would
be necessary to make public show of
the monster in order to propitiate the
evil spirit that was responsible for the
freak, and when the time was up, the
mother coolly drowned her four-eyed
offspring in a tub of water.

FILLED WITH SHOT.
OFFENSIVE CONDUCT RESENTED
BY A BROTHER.


ORANGE Tex, Dec. ia school
teacher by the name OF 7. G. Tucker,
who resides nine miles west of this
place, left home early yesterday Morn
ing to attend his duties, but before
leaving told his son, George, a lad of
II, to go into an adjoining woods and
feed his hogs. The boy was taken
down with chill very soon after the
father left and the mother took some
corn and attended to feeding the hogs,
leaving at the house the son in bed
and her 15-year-old daughter, Mary.
She was barely out Of sight when a
near neighbor of the fuckers came
to the fence, called the young lady out
and made indecent proposals to her,
which she resented, when he pulled
her to the fence, kissed her and then
went away, but about o'clock in the
afternoon he returned, and when re-
monstrated with by Mrs, Tucker for
hiN offensive conduct he became en-
ragged and used abusive and insulting
language, which the sick boy over
heard, and getting out of bed he took
his shot gun that was loaded with
No. shot and emptied both barrels
into the man. 1t is presumed the
wounded man is not badly hurt, as he
did not call for medical attention I'M
Til yesterday morning. Young Tuck
err came to town and surrendered and
gave bond in the sum of 800.

RUsK, Tex, Dec, 22.-The jury in
the King murder case brought in a
verdict of murder in the first degree
and assessed the death penalty. De-
PENDANTS attorneys made a motion for
a new trial, which was overruled and
notice of appeal was given At late
hour night before last sheriff Single
tary received message from w. T..
IIensley of Jacksonville, saying that
Kings friends would make an attempt
to liberate King that night and warn
ing him to be on the lookout. While
the impression was that the message
was wild rumor, at the same time as
matter of caution Sheriff Smgletary
put extra guards on duty at the Jail
and had Kings friends put in their
appearance they would have received
warm reception.

was that of DR.. Haggerty against W..
A. st. John before Judge Gunster The
plaintiff last summer ordered Mr.. st.
John off the Driving park track alleg-
ing that Mr.. St. John was not club
member and was breaking the rules.
Dr. Haggerty testified to these particu-
lars which he said was followed by a
threat of the defendant to cut the
plaintiffs heart out. He further avowed
he was afraid of his life. The de-
fendant was required to furnish $lO0

A STORY ABOUT CURTIN.
Harry Hall Quotes Reminiscence of the
War Governor.

One of the speakers who is with the
Hastings party and who tomorrow
night will address a rousing Republi-
can rally at West Pittston Is Harry
Hall, Washington correspondent of the
Pittsburg Times. Not long before Gov
ernor Curtin's death Mr. Hall passed a
very pleasant day with the great war
governor at the latters home in Belle
fonte. Some charming "reminiscences
were the result. Here Is one of them:
After the state election in October
had made Andrew G. Curtin governor
by about 10000 majority, he went east
on a stumping tour, and was every
where greeted with the greatest en-
thusiasm At Boston he spoke in Fan
euil hall and carried his audience with
him. The speaker and his speech were
the talk of the city.
"The next day." said the governor

ker House to get shaved. There was

stead Homestead on Mifflin Avenue.
A novel celebration was that of Sat-
urday evening at 800 Mifflin avenue
which commemorated the golden we'd
ding OF Mr.. and Mrs. Nathaniel Hall
stead, the birthday of Mrs. Hallstead
and the birthday of her son, Frank N,
Hallstead. The house had been artis-
tically arranged with evergreens and
contained a large company of relatives
and friends from the city and abroad.
The marriage of Mr.. and Mrs. Hall
stead occurred Oct. 20, 1914, at Clifford,
SuSquehanna county. The officiating
clergyman was Rev. Charles Miller.
Two years later they moved to Carbon
dale and soon afterward to Scranton.
where Mr. Hallstead has been promi-
nently identified with the early growth
of the city. He was builder, contrac-
tor and wagon maker, and erected
many Of the buildings which were at
one time the largest, most substan-
tial and costly in the city. Among
these Is the Penn Avenue Baptist
church, which has been enlarged to its
present proportions. Mr.. and Mrs.
Hallstead's daughter, Mrs. p. M.
Downing, has one son and two
daughters, Frank N. Hallstead, of the
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
pay office; Mrs. c. F. Whittemore, and
Mrs. Walter w. Mitchell, nee Anna
May Downing, who was married
Sept. g.
Numerous and elegant remembrances
were bestowed by Saturday nights
company. Among those present from
abroad We're: Mrs. ]. b. Downing, of
Philadelphia; Mrs. p. Schoonmaker, of
New York; Mrs. Walton Mitchell, of
Utica; Susan Rivenburg, of Clifford;
Miss Del Hallstead and Mrs. Van
Doran, of Archibald; Mr.. and Mrs. r.
e. Hendrick, of Carbondale; Mrs. Jud-
son Aylesworth and May Bevan, of
Clarks Green; DR.. w. r. Helling, of
Omaha, and many others.

APPEAL TO THE PUBLIC.
Issued by the Directors Of St. Joseph's
Founding Home.

Issued by the Directors Of St. Joseph's
Founding Home.
The following appeal to the public
has been issued by the directors of ST.
Joseph's society:
At the last meeting Of the members
of st. Joseph's society, Wednesday
and Thursday, Oct. "a and 25, were de-
cided upon as the annual donation days
of st. Joseph's Founding Home. For
various reasons the picnic was dis
pensed with this year, which fact leaves
the treasury in a depleted condition
and with funds insufficient to carry on
the good work longer than March. st.
Joseph's Home is dear to the heart of
our bishop, and was established by him
as diocesan institution; yet strange
to say 1t has until the present time re-
ceived its entire support from Scran-
ton, assisted by Dunmore, with, at rare
intervals, donation from charitable
individual outside.
That the neighboring parishes have
not hesitated to avail themselves of the
privileges of this benevolent home
is amply proven by the statistics which
show that the majority of the children
belong outside of Scranton and many
to wealthy parishes, yet anxiety for
their support has rested chiefly with
the little local organization known as
st. Joseph's society.
Perhaps these facts have not been
brought home to distant friends, and
that now when they are enlightened as
to the real state of affairs, a sense of
justice will open their eyes to the i'm
portance of the work which is being
done, and our urgent need of their CO.
operation in the task which still lies
before us, for we cannot even relax
our efforts until we shall have freed
ourselves from the annual rental of
$500 and erected a substantial and per-
manent home for our devoted sisters
and their helpless charges, on the beau
| tiful lots which were donated for the
purpose near Green Ridge.
In conclusion we appeal to all our
| friends out of their abundance to kindly
remember the Founding Home on next
| Wednesday and Thursday.
