Now Gamo of Lawn Golf.

Those who ara anxious to learn tht
game of golf without all the violent
exercise and immense amount oi
tramping up hill and down dale which
the real thing calls for, will welcome
the new game of lawn golf. Of course,
golf cranks and enthusiasts will scof
at it, but lawn golf will give beginners
very good idea of the rules of the
game, and from this they may gradu-
ate into full fedged golfers.
The most particular, and cranky
lawn owner cannot object to lawn golf
being played on the velvet verdure of
his cherished lawn. No holes need be
made in the ground, and after the
game is played, the clubs and cups
and bunkers can be gathered up,
packed in their boxes, and put away
out of sight.
Lawn golf is played with small
sized golf ball and implements some.
thing like golf clubs. The course can
be laid out Oh an ordinary lawn, and
constantly altered at will. In place
of bunkers little fences provide the
necessary distractions, and, instead
OF the holes of an ordinary putting
green, there are saucers of tin, with
holes in their centres. The saucers
are turned upside down in any de-
sired position, and, as might be i'm
agined, it is no easy matter to drive
ball into them.-New York Herald.

This Dog Can Spell.

There is a south side lady who owns
q Gordon setter which she believes is
endowed with almost human intelli.
gence. This is not hastily formed
nor unfonnded opinion, but has been
developed by years of experience.
Here IS one of the many incidents
from which has sprung her faith in
her dog:
Last Sunday, having finished her
dinner, the lady went into the drawing
room to read the paper. On rug
near the window the setter was bask:
ing drowsily in. the sun. The lady's
two sons were still in the dining room
finishing the repast and the mother
overheard something said about bones.
Now the good lady has moral dread
that her beautiful dog will choke to
death on bone some day, SO, raising
her voice, she called out: -
"Boys, don't give Dan any chick.
en- b-o-n-e-s," spelling these two
words so the dogs attention would
not be attracted. "I am afraid he will
choke"
As she spelled chicken" the dog
raised his head and listened and at
"bones"' he got up, walked into the
dining room and looked at the bones
the boys were picking. = Chicago
