THE MANUFACTURES OF GOLF BALLS
$1,000. 900 Are Used Ench Years-The
Material of which They Are Made.
From an English Pa

From an EngnSh Paper.
No outdoor athletic game has grown so
rapidly and become so popular as gou has
within a year or two. Golf clubs are
springing up everywhere and there is a
great rush of both sexes to become mem
bers and learn the game. Every city in
the country has its golf club; many have
more than one. Links by the dozen are
necessary In the suburbs of every large
city to supply the demands of golfers, and
every summer resort and winter resort
too. must have its links. To attempt to
put into figures the number of players
would be quite an undertaking; the high
est rational estimate would be exceeded
in six months. And all golf enthusiasts
are golfers, though alb golfers may not be
enthusiasts. Twenty thousand people may
witness a baseball game or a football
game TO see 20 or 25 players participate in
game and in all of these spectators not
one in a hundred plays either game or
ever did or can play it. But the boys and
girls, men and women, young and old, can
and do play golf. II Is estimated that
about 100000 persons play golf more or
less, being about one In $50 of the entire
population of the United States.
One of the principal items of expense in
the materials for golf playing is for balls
More money is spent to purchase golf balls
than for any other playthng that ever
was known. The cost for balls Is far In
excess of the cost of clubs used and the
expense of clubs is no small item, but

and experts also are very extravagant in
their use OF balls. 1t is estimated that b.
100000 golf balls are used per year, an
average of SO to a player. At 25 cents ay-
erage cost per ball, the cost of these balls
would be $4,000.
The only suitable material for golf balls
Is gutta percha--a gum which comes from
India and Borneo, and other tropical
lands IL Is resilient, but not elastic, like
India rubber. II is heavy enough to fly
well, tough enough to resist, without
cracking or crumbling or chipping, the

$50 to 81 per pound; and the demand is
Increasing and the supply diminishing.

was not getting much wages for
his work and this jewelry was a
great temptation to him. He had
handled it on several different oc-
casions and thought of the ready
money they would bring, until one
day his desire for these Jewels be-
came SO great that he extracted a
costly stone from among the lot
and went back to his work. But
no sooner into it before he had
fearful feeling of remorse for what
he had done and put back the
stone from where he took it.
The owner of the house had seen
his jewels taken from it's place and
it's restoration; he had seen also
the mental suffering of the paint

HONESTY.
Written for The PRISON NlrrOr,

Wf9tten for The PrlsOn Mirror.
eve need no graves to bury
honesty; there's not a grain Of it
the face to sweeten, this whole
dingy earth. Shakespeare.
In the above quotation, the
poet, he who knew human nature
SO well and it's different phases,
tells us that we need no graves to
bury honesty, because there is not
any to bury. His theory may not
be agreeable to some, and to
others it suits like T. To get at
the foundation of the subject,
what is honesty? and who are the
honest? This is what we want to
know about.
Honesty dismantled of it's orna-
ments, and in the sense in which
honesty is used, is simply a per-
son who will not steal--that is
honesty. Now as to honest ones,
(honor bright it is a hard ques-
tion) every one must consider
himself so or he will find out from
his neighbors that he is 40 old
tool at the business.
Every one, no doubt, wishes to
be considered an honest person,
no matter what rank in society he
holds, for he knows or at least
thinks so, that an honest person
has more show in this world than
the dishonest.
All rich people are dishonest in
way, they must be so or they
soon will be with those of the
lower class. They do not enquire
OF their customers, whether the
money that is given for goods has
been got by dishonest means, not
at all, business is business the
world over. Then, too, the rich
have an easier way Of acquiring
their gains: they do not go about
it in the same way as do their less
fortunate comrades: the wav is
simply through speculation, and
speculation is not honest, but still
it is business.
As an example of honesty the
following incident happened in a
town where I was once located: A
painter was working in building
whose owner at the time was &C.
cupying the upstairs room, and
was in the habit of leaving a con-
siderable amount of valuable jew
elry on the premises. The painter
