When the mob is off the links at luncheon, the game ap- pears in a much better light. don't you know, and as for the health giving joys of the gentle craft" what is there on earth that gives a girl a better appetite than a quiet irritation? Between our selves that is exactly what golf singles literally is-a quiet Irritation. When your real golfomanac is driving or put ting, utter but a word, a miserable, lit- tie, meek and modest monosyllable even, and off goes your head. Silence and lots of it is the only thing that will win the approval of a golfomaniac like Willie Bulger KniblickS but playing singles with Jack under an oak tree gorgeous with the prismatic tintS of autumn, while ones subsidized caddie is spending quarter of an hour in a vain. hunt for the ball beyond the hill, gives one an opportunity for an exhibi- tion of gentle craft" that is really great.
 But here I am digressing at length while Jack is still holding my hand; while Jack is whispering adjectives of the superlative degree In my ear.
 Dearest" he says, dearest, I"-
 Jack isn't an expert. He hasn't even the making of good player. He says things, you see while he is playing.

It is the first phrase we commit to memory after our hair goes above our shoulders and our skirts go below our shoe tops. There is feminine fierce ness in our tone. indignation in our air and invitation in our eyes. So Jack says.
 How dare you? Leave me, siri This is no private lesson in palmistry," I say with whitening scorn, and despite all his cynicism Jack withers, foregoes palmistry for the time being and de- parts all of two feet.
 Golf is really becoming rather inter- esting, but just at this juncture the nearsighted, farsighted or sightless cad- die-may his particular tribe increase!- finds the ball, and with ten strokes each we halve the hole ahead and proceed to the second tee.
 We both drive the balls over the stone fence ahead. The caddie dives over the fence after them and disappears from mortal ken with Jacks small change jingling in his jeans.
 Dearest" Jack says, "dearest"-
 That's exactly the word for it." say enthusiastically. "This is just the dearest links have ever seen-the very dearest!"
 Jack looks disappointed. He gnaws his mustache. He viciously beheads a daisy with his club. He does not swear. It would not be polite. Besides, Jack never swears. know 1t, for his moth- CT told me so.
 "Do you know what foozle Is, Jack ?" I ask demurely. Jack knows. He has just made one, but not with his club.

 I have been round the links with Jack and. like our old school friend Virgil. sing of arms and a man. Golf Is of course the real thing, and every woman must rave over it or she is lost There is woman's championship you know, and a weman's champion. and if one cannot be a Miss Hoyt one must admire her, and. emulating the exam pie of the man who was kicked by Andy Jackson, glory in telling how one had the honor to be beaten by her or some other petticoated golfomaniac known to fame.
 Strictly between ourselves, however, did not take very kindly to golf at the start. Chasing a quinine pill around ten acre lot," as some one has very aptly described the sport, did not make me wish to camp out on the links and this was especially true of the cold weather chasing when the quinine pill must not only be chased and overtaken, but taken as we'll after each game to ward off an attack of pneumonia. l raved about it of course, and I talked about cleeks and brassies and stymies and foozles and bunkers and caddies and bulgers and bogies and twosomes and foursomes and niblicks until my tongue was tied in a double knot that only shandygaff would loosen, until the sunset sky seemed a vast Scotch plaid and until, as our Michael below stairs would express it, felt kilt en- tirely"
 Talking on the clubhouse veranda or on the green, however, was much easier than walking weary miles after the quinine pill under a fright making and freckle producing sun, and of the two evils usually chose the lesser. Conse- quently an invitation to go around the links from Willie~Bulger Kniblicks or Reginald Brassie was invariably ac- cepted with an outward smile and an inward groan. What possible fun can there be, thought I, in tramping tor turing mile or so in a 3 A shoe when one really ought to be wearing 4 c, in getting tired and cross and sunburned and freckled and in climbing over stone fences when there isn't single man looking at you that you care the snap of your finger for?
 Not bit, not a little, wee bit, was my usual answer.
 I am exactly in this frame of mind when Jack proposes-isn't that a sweet word ?-proposes that we go round to- gether, but golf and Jack and golf and Willie Bulger Kniblicks are two very different propositions, don't you see? He has been away such a long time, you know, and he does fill his knicker- lockers so adorably! So when Jack p-r-o-poses-that's my word, saw it nrst-that we go round the links, my heart begins to throb trifie faster. the bunkers. and the foozles, and the freckles are in part actually robbed of

really a very deserving fellow. He is always at feast ten minutes in finding the ball when it goes over hill or be- yond fence, and, unlike Lots wife, he is absolutely guiltless of rubber neck ing. There's a caddie for you! I won- der how much it costs Jack?
 AS we cross that little stream beyond the first tee Jack helps me over like a gallant fellow and then-what simple tons some men are!-he clings to my hand and pats it and tries to-well, tries to get it near his mustache, but draw 1t away.
 After all, golf is not such bad game, don't you know, or wouldn't be if men were not so foolish.
 I stop under a magnificent oak to reprove Jack for his conduct, and while I am engaged in featuring him the ras- cal catches my hand again and does what-what he has been trying to do be- fore I can prevent him. Men are such blunderers they have no tact-they nev- CT do the right thing at the right time. The idea of a great, handsome fellow like Jack kissing a girls glove, don't you know, when-when---

politeness. He must take her by the arm or hold her hand or catch her when she comes huttering down like shy, sweet bird from the dizzy height.
 Matchmaking mammas, give ear! When all seems lost, try high stone fence and caddieless solitude.
 Jack mounts the fence at single bound, then croucl1es and extends his hand to me. Aided by an arm that stroked a Yale crew to victory, fairly walk up the side of the stone fence and stand poised upon the very top. How strong he is! He leaps down on the other side, extends his arms upward toward me and invites me to jump.
 T will catch you" he says.
 You will not!" say I.
 Then suppose you remain there." Thanks the view is fine" Then there is silence, golf silence, and plenty of it.
 Jack gazes at me. I gaze intently be- yond him.
 Jack, who is that man?" Jack turns. I jump. There is no man. Jack rages. Golf is quite game after all.

dinner were cold or as if his pipe had gone out and the nearest match were miles away. How terrible it is to see a strong man suffering! He looks at me with a world of reproach in his fine brown eyes. I meet his gaze unflinch- ingly, and he withers again. Who says that woman's is the weaker sex?
 We reach the stone fence, and Jack cheers up bit. A liquid stone fence has cheering qualities to the average man, but solid and high stone fence is even a greater joy producer to him Give the average man stone fence and a pretty girl and a caddieless solitude and he's as happy as little boy with his first red wagon. A pretty girl, you see, cannot go through stone fence. She must go over it, and when she goes over it the average man must assist her with all his strength and cleverness and

Fifty Third Birthday Anniversary.


After the severe weather following
the storm on March 22d, the warmth
of last Saturday was welcomed by ev.
eryone. Perhaps no one appreciated
the brightness more than did G G Cox
OF Amboy, that day completing the
three years added to the half century
mark. So nice was the morning and
bright the sunshine that his son easily
persuaded him to accompany him to
Red Cloud. Meanwhile at home his
old neighbors, most Of whom had en-.
dured with him the hardships of pio.
neer life, and saw HIM move from the
log house into the comfortable home he
now occupies, gathered to the number
of fifty.five. On his return instead of
the usual quiet farm scene, smiling
faces met him wherever he looked.
After many warm greetings promptly
at l 2:30 the guests surrounded the
table grooming under the weight of
good things that Mrs. Cox had pre-
pared. The heartiness with which
each n present partook of the dainty
food showed how we'll Mrs. Cox under

the old familiar games of horseshoe
and ball were INDUCED in. MI. Darby
and Walter Cox seemed to have the
best of the horseshoe game while Mr..

family, MIR. f. M. Cox and family, and
Mr.. Walter Cox of McCook and Mr.,

In the evening about sixty young
people gathered in to finish the pro.
gram of the day. The evening was
passed very pleasantly. Music and
games were the chief amusements.
Several elegant and expensive pres.
ents were given. The surprise on Mr.
Cox was total. The day will be one OF
the bright spots in the memory of old
and young, and such as in after life
will soothe many a care to think
