Complaint of a COR Nyidowe,

Concerning golf the story is told that
a man who took but little interest in his
wife's exploits with the clubs. was
aroused from the fog of his business by
hearing her name continually coupled
with a certain colonel. She was al
ways playing with this colonel, who did
not seem very polite person. for he
never allowed her to beat him. Still
the husband did not like this constant
association. He began to be alarmed
with the idea that the colOnel's attrac-
tons might be as irresistible as his
play. He plunged into the fray, and
taxed his wife with the colonel. She
denied Indignantly, with tears. They
tumbled about in a web of angry words
till at last light dawned on her, and she
burst out laughing. Then she explain
ed as well as she could to her amazed
spouse-what golf readers have already
divined-that the colonel was Colonel
Bogey," and that playing against 1.-The
colonel" means trying to equal the rec.

Booker Washington says that dur
ing the early days of freedom almost
every Negro who learned to read
would receive "a call to preach"
within few days after he began read
ing. He tells of a colored man in
Alabama who, one hot day in July,
while he was at work in cotton
field, suddenly stopped and, looking
toward the skies said:

de work am so hard, and de sun am

HEB ANSWER.

They we're old friends, but they hadn't
met
In many, many years;
And the tide Of life had hurried on,
With its joys and hopes and fears;
But both the women had met al last
Old playmates once again;
They talked Of girlhood's dreams, now
past
Its buoyant hopes, now slain.
"Ah, Kate" said Madge, you're not the
same
You've lost your charm Of face
You've lost your pretty, rosy checks
You've lost your form Of grace.
Your chestnut hair has turned to gray,
Your lips have lost their red;
All things are changed-and soon our day

For here's my hair OF brown
On Pfue's dear head-my eldest born
And Bess has not n frown
On her sweet face, that's just like mine

While Kitties blue eyes dance and shine
Like sunlight in the morn.

When you, dear, saw me last,

money Shaun had in plenty, that COW

heart.
The bridegroom and priest had not
yet arrived. but the dancing began.

reserving her first dance for her future

Her thoughts were wandering far
