either Miss Hart or Miss Louise Hecker
would show clearly to what degree the
game has advanced among the women
players in the West.-N. Y. Evening
Post.
The management of caddies (says
Land and Water is an important mat
ter which does not always receive the
attention it deserves. When links are
situated in thinly-populated districts,
it is no easy matter to procure a suffi-
Gent supply of lads OF the right sort,
with the result that they are apt to be-
come spoilt, and pick and choose their
employers in a fashion altogether at
variance with the traditions of the
game. But if the caddies are some
times careless, inattentive even in
clined to be impertinent, 1t must be said
that they have good deal to put UP
with from some of the men for whom
they carry. Inattention and forward
ness should be checked at once. but
without show of temper. 1t will be
found that although the average caddie
may have but superficial knowledge
of the game, he becomes. with practice,
very fair judge of character. He is
cute aware that a fooled stroke at a
critical period of the game is exceeding
~ annoying but when he observes that
the perpetrator controls his temper, the
boy is inclined to respect him accord
ingly.

The games were h0sely contested and
excited more interest than any meet-
ing OF the series up to the present time.
In the opening game the Rough Riders
jumped in front and held the lead untIl
more than half the distance had been
covered. It looked very much white
buffalo, but the kobs. who nave never
been accused OF being quarter
horses" took 4 decided brace and, as
sisted by the splendid work OF RAIDER
and Wilson. pulled the game out Of the
fire at the very last minute.
After a short breathing spell the two
giants started the second battle Of the
evening. Again the Rough Riders set
the pace and this time held 1t to the
end, winning by the narrow margin Of
four pins. Wilson nearly TUNED the
ing finish by putting in Ilve strikes.
Vogler also bowIed beautiful lame
for the Farmers. Henning's 2O5 and
Wilhelm's 20S won the game FOR Capt.
Schmidt's crowd. The third trial Was
hardly a contest. The Rough Riders
fell on in their work. while the k0Ds
improved. and consequently took the
odd game by a big margin. RAIDER.

The Oldest inhabitant must at last take
off his hat to the wise men who have been
digging in the ancient dirt of Babylonia.
He must admit that things have happened
in the world that he does not remember,
no matter how much he may strain his
memory.
Word comes that the explorers sent out
by the University of Pennsylvania have
unearthed the library of the great temple
of Bel at Nippur, and have discovered
more than II, 600 engraved tablets, not
one of them Of later date than 2280 B. G..
Nippur is the Oldest known city in the
world 1t dates back to at least 1850
years before Christ, but the modern world
has known nothing about it except within
the last ten or twelve years.
What Jerusalem is to the Christian
world Nippur was to the world and to the
people which existed 1000 years and more
before the coming of Christ The great
temple of Bel in Nippur was the centre of
the religion of those days, and in the newly
discovered library it is expected tablets will
be found which will throw new light on the
subject.
Enough has already been discovered and
translated to gil modern scholars with
astonishment. Civilization had reached a
point in ancient Babylonia 5000 wears ago,
which nearly approximates in many ways
the highest civilization Of the present day,

cooperating to maintain prices the iron
market depended on the supply and de-
mand and competition. Under such con-
ditions iron prices might fairly be accepted
as revealing trade conditions and prospects.
But prices that are created or modified at

ed as reliably significant of trade tendencies.
But the shutting down of mills to create
artificial scarcity and abnormal prices may
bring about conditions that will be at least
harmful, if not disastrous, to business
prosperity If the iron men would content
themselves with reasonable profit they might
wisely use iron prices to steady manufac-
