Mr.. Topper's Remarkable Drive and the
Depressing influence of the Scot.
"Now, some men are made golfers,
said Mr.. Foozle, land some are born so.
am not But the very worst golfer ever
heard of was Topper of this club. I've
seen that man slice the ball so that 1t
would fly in a circle, and once-only once
Il saw it fall on the tee from which he q
driven it. But that, as / say, was ex-
AUTOMATICALLY remarkable piece OF
luck, think. l offered to bet he couldn t
do it again, hut he wouldn't take me up.
Topper had no sporting blood
"Thc fact that the Scotch have had so
much to do with the game of golf, con-
tinued Mr.. Foozle, accounts undoubtedly
for the lack of humor and fun connected
with the game. Now, they laid out these
links on the hill back o. me recently
part on the hill, most on the hillside, and
some i'm the ditch. They called one hole
the high hole, one the valley hole, and
another the hill hole.
"The greens committee was composed OF
two Scotchmen and ain American. l hap
pen to know, sir, that that American did
everything but go on his knees to these
Scots to get 'em to call the holes high
low and jack. Any American could SEE
that they ought to be called high, low
jack, and the ninth hole-these were thu
sixth, seventh and eighth holes-shoult
! nat 'ully be the game hole.
"But those Scotchmen voted him down
They'd never heard o. calling holes b,

WANTS HAMS, NOT ARTISTS.
A Music Hall Managers Complaint of Ac-
tors Who Are Above Their business.

Music Hail Managers complaint OF Ac-
tors Who Are Above Their Business.
II don't want any more artists, said
the music hall manager who gave the
burlesque. 1.-The people I want are
hams and nothing but hams. Whenever
/ get an application from an actor who
tear up the letter for fear might lose
my presence of mind and engage him
If the plays IA success, the artist did It,
IL it's a failure, it was the author
Sometimes wonder, when hear these
artists talk, what is the use of their ever
having plays written for them at all
They're independent of the dralnatists,
and should think they would just step
on the stage and talk their plays But
they don't do that They merely con-
tent themselves with refusing to speak
this or that line because it's rotten. ,
substituting something of their own.
and then saying it's the fault of the au-
thor that nobody laughs at their stupid
gags / happened to have bunch OF
'em here, aud that lasted me for the
rest of my life Hereafter I'm out OF
it.
"What are artists?" asked the inno-
cent
They're chiefly actors who're con-
demned to come and act i'll the music
halls for three times as much as they
ever got in their lives before. What
| they do is to call everything rotten, de-
eide that they know more about the
| play than the man who wrote 1T and
| walk around as though it were beneath
them to do anything moro like acting
than that when it came to the question
! of acting in music hall.
| "And hams, what are they-the sor
| of hams you mean?'
They're chiefly variety actors accus
toned to hard work, rough maybe, witt
a quality of get there that makes the
audience interested. They've come up
and the artists think they We gone down
| The difference is between trying to dt
something well, because it's TIE bes
opportunity you've had, and taking m
interest at all in it because you've beer
in the habit of doing what you think
better"
but isn't it better, as Sam Bernar
SAYS, to be has been than never wa
it?'

them. l had one of them here, and n
was going to be so original that n
would not use the lines the autho
wrote, but promised to tickle the audl
ence to death by some entirely origina
grinds of his own When the test came
he went on the stage and did the sam
things he had done l l years before. II

Young Kibbee in the
clutches of the
Law.
This Not His First Offense.
Arrested He Was Found In q
Trunk-Deputy Mcnamara Ar
rests HIM.

mai p Kjbbee. of Unenviable notOriety,
:. ocain in the clutches OF the law, hav-
10 heen arrested Tuesday night by Dep
~ Sheriff Mcnamara on complaint OF
Sskra Tekka, OF Oskar. who charges
s;m with obtaining money under false
.,otenses. 1t seems that young Kibbee
I'D obtained order blanks OF Chicago
grocery house, the John Sexton grocery
company, and was taking orders Tor
ooods receiving part OF the cash in ad-
vance and that the goods then failed to
arrive. Officer Mcnamara went to the
Kibbee house late Tuesday night and
o,ter a search found his man doubled up
in a trunk upstairs. He. had evidently
learned that he was wanted. The exam
nation was adjourned until this after
mon before Justice Brand.
Kibbee IS very well known in the cop
ner country where his confidence games
have to say the least shaken peoples
confidence in him. An old game which
he played to finish was TO borrow
small sums for the ostenslble purpose OF
getting bill OF goods from the express
or freight Office, where it is needless to
saw there we're no goods there for him.
He played this county to a standsti II
but escaped prosecution from the small
ness OF each individuals loss and from
consideration for his father. Branching
out then he finally landed in the Traverse
City Jail, but no ordinary jail was
enough to hold him and he sneaked out
After serving term in Ionia he returned
some time ago to Houghton and has
been living very closely, but it seems
that his old skin habits have again got
ten him into trouble.
The authorities say that the case il
which the present complaint is made il
not the only one they are prepared to
make against him and no consideration
OF youth or family will avail him. Ar
offer OF settlement with the complainant
was not entertained.
