A New OccupatLsu for Tall Men.

Any very tall, thin man, with an
angular cast of countenance, now act
ing as a volunteer In the army of the
unemployed can get more lucrative
job In any one Of hundred places In
New York, provided he is we'll over
six feet in height. Almost any of the
small clothing firms will take him,
dress him up as Uncle Sam, afix q
beard to his lower Jaw and start him
out in business as walking adver-
ttsement. According to his natural
physical adaptabillty to the part he
can make from 81 10 So per day, and
there is one personiflcation OF the
national type now pArading the streets
who is said to get Is per day, and he
certainly earns it II suitability for the
part is the criterion. Although cloth
ing firms chiefly affect this style Of
advertising, other lines of business
have adopted it, ard one nationally
respondent Yankee carries a fire.
works advertising banner, another
bears aloft the announcement Of
bargain sale in fiaga, while others pa
rade for soap, patent foods and sport
ing goods. 1t is even said that one
firm has runners oxt along the Bow
cry and Eighth aveaue in the lodging
house districts. With orders to capture
and convey to port any and all per-
sons Of the proper tnild, holding them
up with broadsides of inducements If
necessary. In the course of time 1t
may be that there may be battles over
the prizes in the streets, and the police
courts may adjudicIte upon rival cap
tors Of the eagerly sought models Of
Uncle Sam.

Laying Out . Golf Course.

"A good golf COURSE" says golfer.
docs not depend on how many holes
1t has. An eighteeM-hole course re-
quires from eighty to ninety acres, and
the expense Of keeping 1t up is con-
siderable; but nine, ar even six good
holes, will give better golf than eight
cen short or Indifferent ones, and 1t Is
never good policy Tn overcrowd the
playing area. Since nine and six are
both multiples Of eighteen, two or
three rounds Of short course will
make up the perfect number Of eight
cen holes. For a club Of say thirty
to fifty members, a. six-hole course
should be large enough to accommo-
date all who may be likely to play at
any one time, but With longer list
Of playing members 1t is apt to get
blocked. A nine-noly course will give
100 per cent more playing room than
one Of six holes, 1t 10 not always pos
sibIe to obtain exc! Isive control of
even the twenty-five or forty acres
needed for course of moderate size.
Ground under cultivation or in hay is
impossible, and the same is true of
woodland or hopelessly rocky fields.
The use of land on which cattle are
grazed is Objectionable, and hoof-
marks are particularly destructive to
tho putting-greens. On the other
hand, sheep pasture may be used to
excellent advantage, ald, indeed, sheep
arc purposely grazed on many Of the
big golf courses for their good Offices
In keeping the grass short Almost
any farmer should be willing to give a
club the privilege Of playing over his
shcepland at very moderate rental,
and the arrangement generally works
we'll for both parties.

PRlvATEERINo DURING WAR.

Course Pursnsd b. the Natisns In Regard
10 Vessels Carrying Csssrabsnd Of War.
There have been two theories hither-
to governing priystesring. One was
that 1t made no difference whether
goods were carried under hostile or
even neutral flag, and the other that 1t
was the nationality u the vessel car
ryins the goods, always determined
their liability to capture In the former
case the nationality VI the goods, and
not the vessel In viii. b. they were car
ried, was the determiaing point. Thus.
In one case, the enelpies' goods were
safe nowhere; In the other they were
not liable to seizure when carried in
ships flying a neutral flag.
A cruiser Of one nation has the right
to know the nationality Of another that
1t meets at sea. But the failure to de-
clare nationality, though grave cause
for suspicion. would give no right Of
capture. The inquirins vessel Is first ex-
pected to show its colors. II the sus-
pected cruiser does not respond blank
cartridge may be freq across its bows.
Should there still be 40 declaration Of
nationality this may re followed by
cannon shot, but notl ing more Is per-
mitted. And II the pursuing vessel
takes the risk Of sea, Oh her crew and
captain must be prepared to take the
consequences. In International law
mere flight or silence is, therefore, no
justification for search or attack.
A vessel sailing bet xeen two neutral
ports and found on che usual line Of
navigation is not subject to inquiry. II,
however, required by a cruiser, which
shows its cOlors, she refuses to heave
to and then resists the right of search
such action justifies Ter conf1scation IL
found with contraband of war. Coal Is
usually contraband Of war and any ar
ticles likely to give aid or comfort to an
enemy II found in exc essive quantities.
AS to what constitutes privateer
there is some differen,e Of opinion. An
armed merchantmen " not privateer.
Jefferson said that though a merchant |
vessel had arms to tsfend herself In |
time of war and in tie course Of her
regular commerce THU no more makes
her a privateer thar husbandman
following his plow in time of war with
q knife or pistol N his pocket is
thereby made a soldic:."

An amusing mising story comes
from the Mocking Bird mine in the
Warm Springs distsict. L. J. Rowen,
who owns and woi ks the mine, also
owns pet cat. This cat climbs up
and down the SHAFT, through drifts,
crosscuts, slopes and levels, and lives
down there most IT the time, being
fed by the miners from the contents
Of their dinner paiN.
A brilliant idea struck Rowen the
