to forget in making a drive and about four which it is quite essential should. be remembered. Grasp, balance, keep ing your eye on the ball and following the ball with your eye, are some of the Delsarte movements which, if followed out carefully, will enable you in time to land in close proximity to the ball.
 The first thing you will do will be to grasp the club wrong. Since the simplest and the most natural way to swing . club is with the right hand, 1t goes without saying that it is wrong. h making fuH drive the club, when brought back, must be held firmly with the left hand and loosely, like billiard cue, with the right. While this is go- ing on you should be facing the ball sideways and in an attitude of an ex- aggerated parade rest.
 Keeping your balance is the hardest and most trying thing next to keeping your temper-which the beginner has

This latest plan for improving the post al service is to have letter boxes at taehed to street cars, so that passen- gers can confide their missiyes to Unr ele Sam's charge while en route for business, on a shopping tour, or re turning home, and have the satisfac- ton in many instances of knowing that they will be collected at point that will bring the letter within block or two of the place of destination.
 The letter boxes are to be conspic- uously displayed on the cars, so that any forgetful man who has left home with a batch of letters intrusted to him by his trusting wife to mail in the city will find reminder of his mission staring him in the face when he steps aboard the car to go down town. After the reminder, instead of having to walk several blocks out ot his way to drop the letters in the mailing box or at the post office, it will only be necessary for him to step to the end of the car and deposit them in the receptacle placed there for his convenience.

THEIR TUMBLING RACE.

 Boy and Horse.
An Incident of the Tow Path in Early Days on the Great Lakes, aa Told by a Veteran
 Nontractor.
ICopyright. ISs7.1

.'lt was a good many years ago, said the veteran contractor, when l was a lad of only ten that | met with the narrowest escape from death in my entire experience. The United States government was at that time building couple of very long piers at a harbor on one of the great lakes. As l had to earn my living, even then, got place about the works. The stone for the piers were obtained from quarries To- cated some seven or eight miles up the river whose mouth formed the harbor, and my duty was to drive the horse used to tow the stone down to the port, rough tow path having been constructed along one bank of the river for that purpose.
 .'Dhe country was new then; there were plenty of stumps along tine rivers edge, and in some places the tow path was 20 or 30 feet above the sur face of the water. In order that the tow line might clear the stumps, and also that there might be slack enough

VIRTUE OF A NECESSITY.
Such Was the Docking of the indiana
 at Halifax.


 "The sending of the United States battle ship Indiana to be docked at Halifax for the purpose of cleaning her hull." says the Canadian Military Gazette, ''is simply making a virtue of necessity. She is the first of the battle ships that has been sent from the United States to foreign dock for lack of docking facilities at home, but it is more than probable that she must be followed by her sister ships, the Massa- chusetts and the Iowa, as there is no other dock on the Atlantic coast ca- pablo of receiving them. It will take probably six days to scrape and paint her, and the dock charges are $500 per day.
 "It must be somewhat humiliating to the government and people of the United States to have to send their first class battle ships to a Canadian port for docking, but it is vastly better than to neglect the work altogether and im- pair the usefulness of the United States navy.
 "In the event of the United States being at war with any power the Ca nadian as we'll as all other foreign docks would be closed to both nations, when the United States would find themselves with battle ships that thsy could not send to sea-"

to reach the high parts of the tow path, the line was not attached to the body of the boat, but to mast, some eight feet high or thereabouts, stepped near the center of the boat
 "There were lots of snakes in that vicinity then. not only the common striped variety but poisonous ones also; copperheads, rattlesnakes, puff adders, etc. l went barefooted, with my trou- sers rolled up to my knees most of the time, Hike nearly all the boys of my age. For safety from the snakes, as we'll as because it was easier. almost always rode the tow horse; I could then snap my fingers at the reptiles, and with the long whip which carried I could drive them away if they ap- preached too near the tow horse.
 My danger and my escape came one day when I was perched aloft on the tow horses broad back; so, of course. the snakes had nothing to do with either. It was part of my duty to see to it that the tow line never touched the stumps, and this made it necessary to look out for slack or sagging rope. On tine day in question, just as was passing the highest point on the tow path, the man on the stone barge, who always watched the tow line as care fully as I did. called out to me to jog the old horse along.' looked and saw that the line was in danger of striking a tall stub and immediately whipped mp the horse.
 '"Then an entirely unexpected thing happened The horse, always quick to respond, sprang forward at once, but as the tow line frightened he choked, fell back on his haunehes, and then, losing his footing, toppled over the high bank. Of course went with him .--of TatAe, ahead of him-down the

 In western Massachusetts lives rather an aristocratic maiden who frequently goes out alone wheeling. On such occa- sions she is always accompanied by an enormous young mastiff. which is a pretty adequate protection against any annoyance. The two have to go at q moderate pace, however; big dog cam not stand very fast running, unless he belongs to one of the long-leggeti breeds, and even then he cannot easily keep up all day long with an expert bieyclist.

 It isn't easy, even for dog, to keep up with it's master, when the latter is mounted on wheel If the dog tries it he is apt to get in front of the ma chine and bring down the rider with q bad tumble.

may hope to make successful golfer. And it is not enough to keep your eye on the ball and hit it with the proper part of your club.
 The golfers position before the drive depends great deal on the length Of his club. The longer it is the more awkward his position-for the ball should be so far away that, when one end of the club is touching it, the other is at the players left knee. The longer the club the further he has to bend over. His feet should be, according to all rules, 115 feet apart, but if he finds any difficulty in keeping his bal anee he can extend them another footv

bank. As he fell he turned complete race between us which should, get to the water first Some of the time 1 was in advance and some of the time it was the horse that led. The man on the barge said he expected every mo- ment to see me crushed, but fortunate ly it was not so bad as that. Eventu- ally l reached the water ahead of the horse. As the river was comparative ly deep just there, suffered nothing worse than q great fright. thorough shaking up and 3 complete ducking- though it is quite likely that if the horse and I had struck the water at the same spot I would have been bad- ly hurt. The bargeman said both horse and boy struck the bank two or three times in the descent, each contact be- ing followed by a lively bound into space. The horse bounded further than I and for. that reason the animal fell several feet further out into the stream.
 "Of course there was an investiga- ton into the cause of the accident and it was found that the trouble was all caused by careless stable man. The boss had two tow horses. one big, tall beast, with very thick neck, the other a smaller animal with thin sort of goose-neek. I was driving the big horse that day, but in har- messing up the stableman had put or him the collar belonging to the small horse. It was the small collar that

to learn In preparing to strike he necessarily bends forward little, and in drawing the club back he naturally raises the toe of his right foot. But that is all wrong, and even more glar- ingly out of form than catching the club with the right hand. He should wind the toe of his left foot firmly into the weeds and let his right foot take care of itself, so long as it does not leave the ground.
 To keep your eye on the ball sounds too simple to be worth. any serious att tention But it is no such easy mat ter. The man who can execute half turn with his body and still have both eyes on the ball without acquiring trabismus the first time he tries it

feet he has had no trials or tribula- tions worth speaking about.
 The first vicious quality which the beginner will discover in that modest, unassuming little sphere of gutta per cha is it's profund helplessness and terrible inertia. In baseball or cricket, or tennis, the ball shows some inclina- ton and willingness to do it's share of the work It will come to you, possi- bly,, with undue violence in the head or the solar plexus, but at any rate it shows some animation, and that is just what the golf ball steadafstly and stubbornly refuses to do.

PETS RIDE ON BICYCLES.
Squirrel and Parrot That Wheel
 With Their Master.
Dog Owned Two People = At Least Ills Nominal Owners Made Hacks of Themselves for His
 Benefit.
tcopyright. is97.l

A great many people have agreed that one of the serious drawbacks of bicycling is that wheel isn't pet. It isn't alive; one hasn't and can't have the same love for an individual wheel that he would have for a dog or horse. One can love the sport. but if he can get better wheel than the one he has been using. he will see the old one go without pung.
 Who would ever think of swapping dog that had been the constant com
