He Had Had Too Many.

Duluth News-Tribune.
 A good story is told of Jim Younger when he was in Duluth recently. It ia well known that he is very much averse for notoriety, and always registers under a fictitious name in order to avoid 1t. He stepped up to the office of one of the Duluth hotels, and. after putting down something like Peter Jones, Pearl Lake, ' he asked to be assigned a room. After ascertaining about how much the guest wiehCd to pay, the clerk said that the most desirable room left was a court

Golf Luck of a Greenhorn.

Boston Herald.
 Down on the Wenham golf course. a few weeks ago a new member was play ing around the links for the first time. It was really his first serious effort to play golf He made a pretty good strtke-om from an elevated tee across a valley to the top of a hill about seventy-flve yards beyond Thinking to have a little prac- tice across the valley. he struck bis ball hack toward the green beside the tee whence he had previously struck of. The ball sailed gracefully over the hill, and to his inexpressable surprise the player heard 1t go "kerchunk into the hole on the green. He had struck hall seventy. five yards and landed 1t in the hole. Probably few players ever did such thing, and this player says he does not expect ever to do it again if he plays golf for a quarter of a century. It was "the luck of a greenhorn."

CLARKE FOR JELKS
SAYS CHIEF ExHcuTIvE HAS
 DONE WELL.
In the Opinion of the Ex-Congress- man No One Should Try to Defeat the Barbour
 County Man.

Mobile. Dec. 14.--(special. 1.-The repre- sentative of The Advertiser called upon MT. R.. IT. Clarke today and asked him inee of the Democratic Party for the office of Governor of this State.
 Mir. Clarke said: That seems to me hardly an open. question. unless there change in existing conditions and sent iment.
 "Governor Jelks has won the marked confidence of the great body of the party as wise, faithful and capable executive, anxious to administer his of- flee for the good of the State and certain to do so efficiently.
 He has had to take up the duties and responsibilities of the office under cir- cumstances that placed him in some re- spects In a delicate position and hamp- cred him.
 cullar degree the confidence of the people and his untimely death, just as he had fairly entered upon his administration. was greatly to be deplored.
 T believe that Governor JelkS has caF- ried on the administration so commenced as satisfactorily to the people as any other man in the State could have done.
 Tt is the established custom of tho party to give a second term. to a Goy- ernor who has filled his first term fairly well. Doubtless that originated to some extent in the feeling that 1t Is only just sS ,sh give him % q rsasonaeie; time within
  icy of administration. The principle of the rule applies with force to the pres- ent Governor. The new Consultation ta put in force during his present term; he Is charged with large responsibility m putting its machinery in operation. and should have a fair time within which to perfect his work.
 However, 1t Is not worth while to make an argument for his .renomination. He has made an excellent Governor up to this time, and there Is every reason to believe, he will do as well in the flu ture.
 5"The great majority of the party are satisfied with him; from the present out look no one. can defeat him for the nom- ination, and no one ought, to try. When those who participated In the Birmingham meeting, or are in sym pathy with 1t. get over the disapp0int- me mt of defeat. it Is not probable they will make the mistake of putting can didates in the field for the various State offices or the United States Senate.
 At any rate he win be q very unwise man who allows himself to be used in that way.P
