GOLF IN FRANCE,

Interest in This Game and the Fine
Links Provided.
From the Figaro.
The golf season has just ended with the
games of the Dinard Club The golf week
at Dinard has nothing equivalent to it in
the sporting world, except the races at
Trouville. From Oman, from St. Malo
from st. Servan, from Parame from St
Lunairc, from Paris, aid even from Eng
land, the Englishmen arrive, to play or to
be present at this brilliant autumn meeting
Not only do the English and American col
onies of the Cote d'Tmeraudf furnish their
contingent of fervent golf players, but also
number of families from across the water
remain on the Malouin shore to be present
at this new game. French sportsmen be-
longing to the region or ruralizing there
make it duty to follow the phases of the
game, and even to take part in it.
For instance, last year Count Joseph
Rochaid won the Dinard challenge cup.
The golf links of Dinard are incontestibly
the best in France, according to the English
professionals. Moreover, the thing which
renders them unique In their kind, from the
point or view of nature. is the great num-
Der of Incompatible views which surround
them and their position on the seacoast in
the midst of uneQualled scenery
Along the undulating praries of about
thirty hectares, cut by bitches roads and
little streams of water, they have estab-
lished. at distance of four hundred meters
from each other. eighteen holes figured by
a sort of little iron recipient stuck into tho
ground and indicated to the player by a
flag of bright color
Each hole is surrounded by little green
grass carpet cut close and very carefully
kept, called green, whose diameter is
about twenty or thirty meters.
Not far from each one of these holes is a
little terreplain or tee. The game is PLAYED
with a hard rubber ball about three or four
centimeters in diameter

A Story Which Shows the Advantage
of Letting Your Wife he Cashier.
From the Chicago Post
The belated wayfarer was standing in the
shadow of a building, with both hands
poir ting heavenward. while he gazed into
the mYzzle of a revolver. One footpad was
holding the revolver where it would do the
most good in case of an emergency, and
the other was going through the victims
pockets. The silence was so oppressive that
the belated wayfarer finally felt obliged to
speak
Think you're smart, don't your" he said
We know our business" returned one Of
the footpads, gruffiy.
''Of course, you do said the belated
wayfarer with something like a sheer.
You know that this is my pay day, I
suppose
Sure" replied the footpad. That's why
we laid for you"
He ART got but 65 cents, BILL" inter-
rupted the one who had been searching
the victims pockets.
''Woti' cried the other.
That's right" said the belated way

man with the revolver.

language of Europe is heard on the street,
and the business is mainly conducted by
the use of fingers to indicate the quantity

the mile-long street the fair terminates in
the fish market, a. favorite spot with the
sightseers, for Neapolitan fishes are
aquatic rainbows;= and here is great

Naples, rich or poor. must have cells for
supper. The real origin of this custom
seems to be unknown. 1t is probable that

Christianity when the fish was the mystic
symbol of Christ. And so as you drive
nome along the terraced roads, and pass
the queer little houses built into the rock
OF the roadbed, where the poor live, you
and are made conscious of the fact that in
the palaces also they are eating cells.

The Victim Bound and Placed in Q
Wagon and the Horse Started.
From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
For several months past highwaymen
have been carrying on a desperate traffic
in Warren county, along the east boundary
line. which is the Wabash river. few
nights ago the fence guard on the Wabash
river bridge at Attica was turned across
the bridge, so that team would drive of
and down on to the rocks fifty feet below.
1t was discovered by footman just In
time to save a team and two men that
were coming on to the bridge.
Saturday night Edward Lilley was re-
turning to his home from Warren county,
where he had been working and had ac-
cumula ted about $50. He crossed the river,
and was met by two masked men, who,
drawing revolvers, demanded, Hands up!'
Lnley quickly responded, and was robbed
of all his money and a gold watch. They
then stripped him of his clothing, tied his
hands behind him and bound his feet, when
they threw him into the buggy and started
his horse, and left him at its mercy. The
horse took him home. where he was found
Sunday morning, almost frozen to death.

Christmas eve had come and Silas sat

The pretty things he had bought for James
Christmas sat unopened on his table, and
Santa Claus had not come to cheer him

that Santa Claus was not married man or
