Mr.. Sutphen Is the gentleman whose
book of last season, 1.-THE Golficide," at
tracted much attention. He is the only
person thus far who has had the hardi-
hood to try to introduce golf into the
realm of literature. No such attempt has
been made in the case of any other
game. We have no tennis book, no cro-
quet book, we have not even baseball
book which can be classed as literature.
Hughes put football and cricket into lit
erature to stay; Kipling has done some
thing in that line for polo but Mr.. SUIT
phen has struck a new field. He is the
pioneer golf novelist and poet. Most peo-
pie will be content to let him occupy his
eminence alone, for to learn to under
stand golf and literature simultaneously
is an undertaking too great for the av-
erage brain.
The rhymes which he has contributed
to the present book are very clever and
bright and even to the initiated help
very much to explain the pictures The
following are samples of this new sort
of verse:
d is the Duffer, the Drive that he cuts,
And the Something he says when he misses short
puts.
is the Jerk that would drive in pe
But the ball, you see, wears cynical smile.
is the Swing that learn from the books;
But oh, if we only could how it looks
Et cetera. The illustrations are by
Frost, and when you have said that you
have said all that is necessary. Mr..
Frost's work is always equal to his repu-
tation, and that is a thing which can be
said of few artists of magazine fame.
The sketches are spirited and comical.

KINDS OF CHURCH PEOPLE.
Rev. DIR. Jordan on tho Way Sermons
Are Listened to.

The sermon at the First Baptist Church
by the pastor, Rev. John D. Jordan, yes
terday morning, was from Luke S-1S, and
treated of the different kinds of hearers
who took advice and acted upon il, and
those who took advice and proflted moth
ing.
Take heed. therefore, how We hear"
says the passage for whatsoever hath. to
him shall be given; and whosoever hath
not, from him shall be taken even that
which he seemeth TO nave"
large part of the sermon however. was
based on the parable of the sower, and
contained ideas which had a universal
practical application.
The parable represented four kinds of
sewers, said DR.. Jordan which represent
the four kinds of soil. The first three rep
resent things for all to guard against. and
the first one Of these is the danger Of not
getting any entrance into the heart and
soul The truth may fail to get an en-
trance, he said, because of simple indiffer-
ence If people here the gospel as a matter
OF duty and not as a matter of pleasure.
there is no profit. The truth is also pre-
vented from entering the mind and heart
by bad habits, which are detrimental to
all by producing an Indifference.
Dr. Jordan said the second thing to he
avoided is a shallow impulsiveness There
are those who hear gladly and declare thew
never listened to such sermons. This Is
only transitory, however, as they leave
the church and forget everything. This
is due to the fact. he said. they do not
know what to employ in carrying out the
instructions heard. 1t shows a lack of
stability and firm character. Another
fauit to be avoided, he said is the nre-oc-
cupation of the heart with other things
The Lord summed up these things ms cares
and riches, which have the effect of es1
tr7nging the minds and hearts of men
from spiritual to worldly things The
ambitions and pleasures OF life have he
same effect and are often responsible for
arresting mems minds and carrying them

Barr, judge advocate stated that he knew
of his own knowledge that the Secretary

Mr.. Cooper's statement, as was report

called on him for his reason for his state
ment, he simply cited the fact that Capt
Carter had received in succession two ap-

Commission. II seems that headlines in

of giving it merely as the opinion of the

INJURED IN GETTING OFF A CAR.
Mr.. Charles v. Hernandez Broke His
Leg by "A Fall.

Mr.. Charles v. Hernandez Broke His
Leg by Fall.
Mr. Charles V. Hernandez, deputy clerk
OF the City Council, is at his home on
Duffy street, with broken leg the result
of an unfortunate accident.
Mr. Hernandez lives with his brother-n-
law, Mr.. A. S. Way, on Duffy street. He
took the last car south on the Habersham
street line Saturday night. intending to
leave the car al Bolton street and walk to
his home. He notified the conductor that
he wanted to leave the car at Bolton
street, and thought he was understood.
When the car started to turn the curve
into Bolton street it slowed up and Mr..
Hernandez, thinking the car was stopping
for him, stepped off. The car made a sud-
den swerve around the curve at that mo-
ment, and MIR. Hernandez was thrown to
the ground. When he attempted to rise
his right leg gave way under him and he
found that he could not get up
The car had passed on, but some one on
the car noticed that Mr.. Hernandez had
fallen to the ground, and remained there,
and called the conductors attention. The
car was run back, and 1t was found that
Mr.. Hernandez was seriously hurt.
Policeman Fleming came up at this
time and remained with Mr. Hernandez
While the car went on to the depot Dr.
st. j. Il. Graham was telephoned for on
examination, he found that both bones of
the right leg were broken midway between
the knee and the ankle He applied a
temporary bandage. and had Mr.. Herman
DEE removed to his home No. 211 Duffy
street, east. A permanent bandage was
applied to the wound yesterday morning
While the accident win lay Mr.. Fer
nandez up for four or five weeks, his ply
sician does not consider his injury other
wise serious or dangerous. From marks
on the leg it is thought the damage might
have been caused by striking against the
curbstone.
Mr.. Hernandez is uncertain whether this
is the case, or not. as he did not know
he was injured until he attempted to rise
from the ground, when his leg gave way
under him.
Mr. Hernandez's friends will SYM
pathize with him in his unlucky accident
He will be missed at the city exchange,
where he is an invaluable assistant to
Clerk Bailey. Having been connected
with the Office for a number of years. his
experience is valuable, and his unfailing
courtesy and politeness have won for him
the regard of all having dealings with the
office.
