THE GOLF DANCE.
A Social Diversion Which Is New This
Eeason.

Eeason.
The golf dance is certainly new on
this side Of the Atlantic, and bids fair:
to become very popular. A good band
OF music is the chief requisite; next
comes a good dancing floor, and If
this is not forthcoming a fair put
ting green" is the alternative. One.
does not require elaborate refresh
ments at golf dance. This entertain
| ment often serves to wind up the sea-
son, as it were, and it is usually given
by the governors of the course. A.:
clubhouse is the proper place in which
to hold it if there is fair assembly
room, but golf clubs are as plentiful
as blackberries this season, and most
OF the summer institutions have not
established the dignity of a clubhouse
Content with their links and spending
their clubs funds on building or dig
ging "bunkers" and keeping the course
moved, the local clubs have attempted
nothing further than the customary
tent. Here one can seek shelter from
fierce sun or cool-'off with a cup of
some refreshing iced drink. Wooden
benches and ice pals constitute the
customary furniture of the golf tent.
1t is obviously impossible to dance in
such a tent unless one hires marquee
for the occasion. A barn is one re-
source, but the putting green" on a
moonlight night is a far more pict-
uresque scene for the golf dance. The
turf must be in good condition here.
The Scotch land, therefore the proper
method Of keeping golf links in order
Is to have a flock of sheep grazing over
them. This saves the expense Of now
ing, except at the putting green's"
where the services Of a lawn mower
are necessary. A ''greenkeeper,"
steward to keep the candles in order,
and ladies' maid at the tent, dressed
In as nearly Scotch costume as Is feas-
1ble, in tartan Bingham if possible, are
the functlonaries of a regularly con-
stituted golf club, but these again are
lacking in the clubs which are made
up by the floating summer population
of our country or mountain resorts.
For the golf dance you will need Ia
dies maid in the dressing tent to take
charge Of the wraps and hand out
shawls to the heated dancers, and to
be on hand when needed with a cush-
ion full of pins, tray of brushes and
hairpins, and the sewing basket with
threaded needles ready to repair any
untoward rip or founce that has been
trodden upon. Informality is the key
note of the golf dance. Here it is per-
mitted to wear a short skirt, and how
much easier it is to dance in one of
these skirts than in the cumbrous dig
nifty of trained robe. Anything be-
coming can be worn. If the dance be
on board floor evening dress can be
worn, but If it be on putting green
long skirt of delicate pink or blue
silk will be ruined by contact with the
grass. Even its full and f1my bale
yeuse" (the inside founce of white
muslin and lace that faces dancing
skirt will not save it here. A dane
ing dress should have a short skirt
just touching, but not lying on, the
ground.

but Mrs. Jones was coming back. I
stood still, hardly breathing, holding
on to the top shelf with one hand an6
the candlestick with the other. I had
slipped the matchbox into my pocket.

lery, or going back to the kitchen?
what a relief! It was towards the
Kltchen she turned. I sprang down
from the shelf as noiselessly as posi-

Mrs. Jones, hearing a noise, came
out, but too late.
What be We up to now?" she call
ed after me. "Some mishtiff, I'll be

But was half way through the sta

Dora, when I arrived, crimson and

They're in my pocket. I was near

to wait. Have any more tumbled

mo, don't think So"
Dora lit the candle, put it in the
basket, and lowered it carefully. We
all watched the point of light 60 down,
down into the darkness. Then it
stopped.
L expect the bad air will put the
candle out" said Jamie.
But l suppose the air was not very
bad, for the candle burnt fairly we'll,
and by it's light we could see three
little kittens with shining eyes.
The kittens looked at the light in
the basket and up at us.
Then we drew it up again, took the
light out, and sent the basket down
empty.
After few moments of GREATNESS
waiting we started it on it's return
journey.
Its heavier!" cried Dora; I'm
sure there's kitten in it,
jamie leant down with the candle,
and there, sure enough, was little
black kitten, looking very frightened,
but sitting quite safely in the basket.
AS soon as it was near enough, l
snatched it out and kissed it, and then
made Jack sit on the chaff, and put
the kitten in his lap.
Then the basket was sent down again
and one more little black face appear
ed when the basket came up to the
light.
The second kitten was given to
Jack, and the basket sent down again,
and again came up with it's living bur-
den.
Then we sat down together on the
heap of chaff forgetting Sunday dresses
and rejoiced over the kittens, with a
tear or two over the unfortunate fourth
whose cries had ceased.
We speculated as to how they had
got down there, and concluded that
one had crept through between the
boards at the back and slipped down,
and that the rest, hearing it's cries, had
followed one by one.
We always thought it was very clev-
er of the kittens to know that that
basket was the way to safety and the
upper world.-Margaret Wilson.

The citizens of Tallulah. La. have
lynched small job lot of Italians, and
the government is called upon to paw
indemnity to the surviving relatives.
Before the government acquiesces in
this demand it should carefully peruse
the communication addressed by James
q. Blaine to the Italian government
upon the occasion of a similar demand
blythe same government when the Cit
liens of New Orleans sent the devil a
complimentary cargo of the same class
OF cattle few years ago. If the Ital-
ian government places such a high
value upon it's thugs it should be in

sending them over here with the ex-
pectation of getting something out OF

The State administration is making
the mistake of its life If it imagines
that Republicans are specially inter-
ested in the retention of any Republic
Gan in @tthe.sgradn inspection depart
ment. Republicanssare perfectly con-
tent that the administration shall
make all the experiments it desires in
that department, and are firmly con
WINGED that the more the governor ex-
.periments the further he will get him
self into the mire. If there is de-
partment in the State which should be
conducted solely with reference to the
fitness and qualifications Of those in it's
employ, that department is the grain
inspection bureau. Anything short OF
an absolutely rigid system of inspec-
ton is worse than no inspection at all,
for it involves all the expense of a
good inspection without offering any
of it's benefits. The value of an in
spection certificate depends upon the
confidence of the prospective buyer
that the grain covered by the certiti-
cate is Of the character stated in it.
Under the system that has been in
vogue for some years these certificates
of inspection. have been. accepted un-
questioningly by buyers in Minnesota,
and at the terminal points East. II
the department is made a mere politi-
cal machine no such value will be
placed upon its certificates, and the re-
suit will be that all grain will be
bought by sample instead Of, as at
present, on certificates OF inspection.
Such change would involve an ex.
pense to the producer which would
reach, perhaps, on an average, five
cents a bushel, and such an expense
would represent direct loss to the
farmers of hundreds of thousands OF
dollars. If Gov. Lind desires to sub
stitute that kind of a commission for
the one we have had it is his privilege
to do so, but he cannot escape the con.
sequences. Nobody cares whether the
chief of that department be A. G.
Clausen or A. c. Somebody Else, or
whether he is Republican, Demo
GRAFT, a Populist or a Methodist. No
man can perform the duties of the Of
fee without a knowledge of the bust
ness and the experience in handling
grain.

There isn't Democrat in the United
