Twohy Of the district court for having
kissed Augusta Koempet. aged IA years,
without her consent and in the face Of
her earnest protest The court stated
that the question was a vexed one. a
great many people contendlng on the
one hand that to fine the young man
under the circumstances would be to dis

parently as numerous, was indignant
over the features of the case and de-
sired that the extreme penalty be inn
posed.
Sitting in his dual capacity, as judge
and jury, the court was inclined to adj
NIT that he disagreed in his verdict, but,
reYerting back to his capacity as judge,
he found that he did not have the priv
ilege of so reporting. The young man
having pleaded guilty to stealing the
kiss and of having committed a techni-
cal assault in doing so, he was COM
PEELED to impose sentence. He therefore
fixed the penalty SIS fine or thirty days

fine was paid. Besides being compelled

Menzies, the golf expert, lately returned
from abroad, 'from what they told me
the visit of team of representative

either this fall or next spring.
"Both the professional and amateur

two months of my stay played almost
daily at Muirfeld, usually in a four ball
match, in which A. j. L. Allan, the
amateur champion, was u player. AL

these matches he never took more than

will screw off to one side, but Allan $
ball goes as straight as an arrow. This
is another factor in his success. There
is no amateur i'll this country who
could equal Allan in straight driving or
in putting.
''For five weeks l travelled about
among the links in tho north of Ireland
and throughout England. At Rpmford
I played with the professional, James
Braid, who divided honors with Hilton
in the last open championship. The

for he made the course in 20, tying his
best previous record. This gives q line

zs1D beginnings of illness are
mere trifes. First little indigestion, per-
haps; or headaches or an occasional bilious
turn. 1t is hard to realize how you are be-
ing tangled up in the strands of sickness
until you are fairly caught.
Nearly all serious illnesses begin with
some stomach or liver trouble, or with a
costive condition Of the bowels. These
functions have got to be put in good condi-
ton before there can be any recovery from
any disease no matter what its name or ma
