FAR up the side of a beautiful
IL Berkeley hill dwell two little
girls named Alice and Helen
Davers-little twin sisters 8
years old, who love each other
dearly. l think they must have been
born on Wednesday. for they were al
ways merry and glad"
But three days before Easter Monday
they had very sad experience, and L
shall have to take you back to the
beginning of Lent to make you under
stand how it all happened, and also
tell you a little bit about their home
life.
They lived in such pretty home.
completely covered with roses, but they
were very poor; so poor that the father
and mother worked hard to keep the
little girls comfortable and happy.
They knew nothing of the pleasures
you little city girls enjoy, but how
could two little girls feel poor who
could picnic every day and gather all
the wild flowers they wanted?
They owned such nice, gentle COW,
and chickens, and such a funny little
pig, and last but not least, the little
dog Spot, who did such wonderful
tricks.
In this beautiful world of ours the
fact is sad but true that no matter how
manifold our blessings, there is always
something more to be desired, and so it
was with our little heroines. They
thought themselves very happy little
girls indeed until one day, very
near the beginning of Lent, they were
invited to a party-such a delightful
party, with plenty of ice cream and
candy and everything dear to the heart
Of a child. If they only might go to a
party every day, how nice it would be-
Going home that afternoon the little
girls eagerly talked the matter over.
"Of course, we can't go to a party
every day" said Helen, but if we beg
mother very hard she might let US give
one at our home
But, Helen" said Alice, do you
think we could have ice cream and
candy?"
I don't know" answered Helen,
doubtfully, but after a minutes medi-
tation she continued: Il have noticed,
sister, that when we want things very
badly mother always finds a way. so
I think we viii just speak to her about
it this very night"
After dinner when the dishes were
all washed and put away and the
waery mother had settled herself for
the rest she so much needed, the little
girls made their request.
1t was hard, indeed, to refuse those
eager little faces, but how could she
say yes, when the necessities of life
were so hard to obtain? So she told
the little girls they must wait for hap
pier days, and they went to bed Bit

Havana, May 13th.-The Gu
ban Colonel Enrique Collazo,
in letter to La Lucia, published To-
day, sounds an alarm and calls the
Cubans to witness the danger OF the
country in longer submitting to he
americans. In cis communication the
Colonei says:
.sThe conclusion is logical that we
cannot serve Cuba and America, their
ideas being contradictory. We are
treated as enemies, our customs ere
speak English. The Americans have
proved the falsity of the plonnses
they have made and our ideal Of indie
pendence is endangered. Fighting as
we fought, to abandon it today is
without doubt, when we should unite
with the same energy with which we
fought the Spaniards.'
The writer declares further that the
Mckinley Administration is the NOR
tai enemy of the Cubans.
General Rodriguez has received 4
telegram from Santiago signed Yet

soldiers shall receive. The soldiers of
the Province refuse to deliver their

Rodriguez replied that each mans

the day of the race it rained all the
morning, affecting the attendance quite

GOLF
aseeeeee@eseeeeeeeeeeee q

The game of golf consists simply of
landing a small gutta percha ball. in
as few strokes as possible, in each of
8 to Is holes according to the links),
Az inches in diameter, which are plac-
ed at distances ranging from $50 to
500 yards apart.
Like many other games, such as ten
mis- or billiards. for instance, there are
opportunities for developing a great
amount of skill in the playing of 1t.
There is an old saying among golfers
to the effect that golf cannot be learn
ed from books. This is true to a GER
tain extent only. The theory of the
game can be learned through reading
on the subject, and such reading Will
help the player more than a little after
he has received some instruction and
has commenced to play the game in
earnest
A full set of golf clubs consists of
a driver, a brassie, a cleek, a midiron,
lofter and approaching mashie,
niblich and a putter.
All these clubs have their special
uses, which will be described hereafter.
Many of the crack players among the
amateurs and most all professionals
use even more clubs than those men
toned, but half that number is enough
for the beginner. A brassie, a cleek,
midiron and an approaching mashie
are enough to start with.
The brassie may be used both for
driver and for playing the second shot
on the green. The cleek may be used
both in playing long strokes for which
1t is. really intended and for putting.
The face of club is the part with
which the ball is hit, while the under
side, or the part which rests on the
ground, is called the sole.
Before attempting to play golf at
all. the beginner should practice the
swing for some time. He should stand
on a level spot placing the feet firmly
on the ground, and grasp the club
tightly with the left hand, the knuckles
of which should be nearly, but not
quite, up. Now place the right hand
as close to the left as possible, but do
not grip the club with it. If the hands
are not pressed together, the wrists
will work in antagonism, and much
of the force of the swing will be lost.
The thumbs should be around the club
mot down the side of it. Bring the
club back with sweeping movement,
and not straight up from the ball, as
though it were hoe. Raise 1t en-
tirely with the right arm, and try to
avoid pushing it with the left, until
it is as far back as it will go. Then
without any pause, swing 1t down in
exactly the same manner and allow
it to describe an arch. In swinging do
not keep the elbows pressed to the
sides at all Raise the right elbow
until it is nearly even with the top of
