GOLFING SONG.

When the Golfers come together,
And the charmed Club, like a wizards reel,
Spins out a shuttled tether.
For the Ball that flies like a wingless bird,
'mong the tufts O. turf and heather.
Scots who love the Land o the Leal
Are leal unto the Links as weel,
And love with all q %Zealot'S zeal
h guild auld game O. Gouf!
Club the Ball from Tee to Hole,
Let every stroke be mended,
And give the globe its golting goal,
From Tee to Hole attended.
Nor let a Golfer miss the globe, until the
game is ended.
Maggie the Driver to and fro,
And strike the Bah, and make 1T go,
Nor sclaff, nor slice, nor heel, nor toe,
But club the globe for Golf!
Follow the Ball with heart and hope,
Make every stroke a wonder,
Till the score is down, and the holes are UP,
And the Ball beyond all blunder..
And the rounds shall ring, while the Cad
dies bring, with the small applause of
thunder.
A good grip when the play is poor,
a long swing and a swift and sure,
On the Links is the Golfers gilded lure,
In the guild auld game O Gouf!
From Teeing-Ground to ~Putting-Green,
Let not a turnkey bunker,
But steady hand and watchful cen
Be style for every y0nker.
And q swift full Swipe that will break the

FURNITURE COMBINE.
Committee Representing Manufac-
turers Of Northwest Plan with
Oshkosh Millmen.

Oshkosh, Wis, Oct. 1O.-[Special. IA
committee, representing the furniture
manufacturers of the Northwest, will
meet in executive session this evening at
the fremont house, with representatives
of local firms, with a view to learning
their opinions of a scheme that has been
brewing for long time among the men
engaged in this line of business to consoli-
date all the furniture factories IN the
Northwest. The scheme has been assum-
ing tangible proportions through the me-
dunn of correspondence and now, it Is
believed, is about to materialIze. 1t IS
proposed to pool all the furniture facto-
res into one concern, each factory en-
tering the combination to retain stock
in proportion to the amount the factory
has been appraised at. Millions of dol
lars will be represented in the combIna-
ton. The object is to decrease the ex-
pense of placing furniture on the market
by having the concerns under one mau-
agement. The territory is to be equally
divided, and it is said the cost of pro-
duction will he reduced to a minimum,
by which the manufacturer, jobber and
consumer are to be benefited. Factories
also will be allowed to run more steadl-
ly. Committeeman, when approached as
to the proposition, declined to talk until
after the meeting tonight.

THE right way to roll Your umbrella
is to take hold of the ends of the ribs
and the stick with the same hand and
hold them tightly enough to prevent them
being twisted while the covering Is being
twirled around with the other hand.
Then your umbrella will be as nicely
closed as when you bought it. and the
only wear and tear will be on the cloth.
