pluckin~ the Nettle.

In all things, personal and social, pri-
yate and public, the firm grasping OF the
nettle that must be plucked Is the only
safe and rational way. Wcall have to on
counter unpleasantnesses In our lifetime,
and those of us who meet them most bold
" and with least delay arc tho most ccr-
tain to escape with least damage. Those
who delay and daily and try to get OF this
or try to soften that are the victims fore
doomed. Their nettles, grasped, would
have been crushed and innocuous; gently
and timidly stroked, they are formidable
md painful. When our sins find us out,
ind we cannot deny that we have failed
here and transgrcssed there, OF what avail
10 cast back the blame and throw, now on
the woman and now on tho serpent, tho
initial evil of temptationf We yielded to
tbat temptation, and herein lies our guilt.
We have nothing to do with the causa
causans of our own misdeeds. 1t was ours
TO have resisted, and wo faltored In our
duty and failed In our obligation.
It was our nettlc that wo had to grasp,
and the chain Of responsibility stops short
at ourselves. To try TO throw IL farther
and farther of Is to stroke that formsda-
bic weed with q tender hand and to get
doubly stung for our pains. In all things

off in much the same fashion. All possess
tho same quick round swing, strike tho
ball with the center of tho head and let
the arms follow ON after the ball. All
have the essentials, yet each has his own
little mannerisms. In this respect one Is
apt to attach too much Importance to the
mapnerisms and overlook the Fundamental
principles.
Harold Hilton, the noted Liverpool anna
teur, has q quick and rather short swing,
and tho club seems to circle around his
shoulder rather than his neck, which Is
lower down than is usually the case among
front rank players. The conspicuous fea.
ture In his long game style is the manner
In which be throws his arms after the ball.
His body Is carried 90 far round At The
complexion Of the swing 81 tie sweep Of
the arms that bis cap frequently falls to
the ground. The head of his club travels
back along the ground In tho upward
swing FOR What seems long distance, and
Il xetufhp along the esme line. His object
q make tho ball desqribe q particular
nne through the air, and to attain this his
club head pust be travelling In that line
both before coming In contact with the
ball and after.
Willie Ferrie Of Troon 10 thought BY
Hilton to hEve the best style Of any pro-
fessionaL Ferrfe plays without any effort,
appearing only TO drive the ball by The
weight Of the club head. He stands square
to the ball and concentrates bis grip Of the
handle by grasping tightly with the fore
finger, middle finger and thumb Of the
left hand and foosoly with the others,
while the little finger and fourth finger OF
the right grasp tightly and the others very
loosely. Ferries swing Is perfect circle,
his shoulders moving round with the clut
as IL on a pivot. A feature of his play II
the exceptional power with which he seems
to drive badly lying balls, or balls lying
much above or much below his stance
He uses light clubs, both wood and iron.

Horsemen Make q Fight.

The horsemen of Camden, N. j., have
raised a fund and employed counsel to
fight the League Of American Wheelmen
and cyclists In general. The cause OF the
trouble appears to be the new cycle path
which the city recently built for the ac-
commodation Of wheelmen. While the
city built the path, 1t was generally un-
derstood that the Good Roads league OF
Camden would pay for 1t In time. A few
days ago q prominent physician named
Fithian drove on the path and was arrested
at the instance Of 8. G. OFT, the president
of the Good Roads league. He was fined
by Mayor Westcott, but refused to pay the
fine imposed and walked out OF the city
hall. DR.. Fitbian said that his attorney
advised him that the city had no right to
keep people from driving on any portion
of the public streets.

The Maroons visited the city of shoes
yesterday and returned with the same old
story. The "hoodoo" has castiron grip
upon them, and it will require something
of desperate nature in order to shake
his Satanic majesty. The game was char
acterized throughout by erratic playing by
both clubs. Moss distinguished himself
by making two of the fastest plays ever
seen on the Brockton grounds. They We're
hard drives, which ordinarily are labeled
two base hits, and they were handled in a
manner that took the breath from the
shoestring rooters. The Maroon had a
shade the better in the batting end, but
excelled in errors. The game was called
in the eighth inning on account of rain.

The efforts to secure the sig

not yet been crowned with sue

loyal to Duluth, and those of

like very much to be compelled
to discriminate against the

a man of them, when it comes

latter. We hope, however, that

Typographical Union.

r. F. L
The printers held their regu-
lar monthly meeting this week.
The resignation of Thomas
Lyons as delegate to the trades
assembly was accepted and H.
Dworshak elected to fill out his
unexpired term. Vice-presi-
dent Martin rendered his resig-
nation, as he had been trans
ferred to the honorary list, and
George C. Findley was elected
to fill the vacancy. The refer
endum vote on the percentage
plan of collecting dues for the
international was defeated by a
vote of 2 to 81. This must not
be construed to mean that the
union is opposed to the percent
age system, as that plan is now
operating with satisfactory re-
suits in raising the revenues of
the local union. The plan as
submitted, however, contained
radical defects that could be
eliminated only by killing the
present proposition.
